Excellent tactic, the strongpoint here is that each player has individual instructions set, so it works well against stronger opponents too. It also works with offensive midfielders on the left and right!

Hi, I was looking for a tactic like Simeone's 442 or something similar, I want to play total and simple football. But I want to know if this tactic can be used against stronger teams when playing away. Do you have a more defensive and a more offencive version of this tactic?

ok no worries

Hi Chris, sorry, i´m still playing the FM19 and can´t say, if it works in FM20.

have u tried this on fm20

Hi kristiantyran25, thank you, that you will try it. I hope, you have much success.
I always go with the adjusted alignment (balanced) into play.
There are only two situations in which I change something.
1. I'm back with more than two goals. -> Alignment with offensive, Passart on medium and vertical, flanks hit early and shoot at full speed, play fast continue, Pressing and defense line on very high and the wing defenders on attack.
2. I lead in the 85th minute with only one goal. -> defensive orientation, both passages at very low, time playing at full, reshaping and holding position, pressing intensity on medium and the outside midfielder on support.

I'm gonna give this a go with my Ifk Gothenburg team in sweden!
Do you ever change mentality? like if i were to play in CL against a top club or do you just play on balanced? :) And do you use any oi:s?

Probably best tactic so far.. I bought De ligt and G.Fernandes, and Icardi on second season. use mane and Salah as Wide midfielders. In Opposition instructions i make every player (press intensity :always), (tackling :Hard and (show onto :weaker foot).

Hello Sveppib, I am glad that it continues to work so well for you.
Have you bought many new players or re-trained the existing ones?

This tactic should be more popular. Won 7 trophies with Lfc on my second season.

@Sveppib Congrats on your successes with LFC. I hope it continues successfully.

@yourmumsnewfella 5th with Fulham is great. congratulation.
I have not even thought about an Offensive approach to this tactic. Currently I'm on a Trip at the Moment. As soon as I'm back home, I can try it.

Won the league, Fa cup and Champions league in my first season with LFC. I use custom OI that seems to work well with this tactic

I forgot to add which is quite important, this is one of the only 2 up top formations that I find works really well. If you could make an attacking system with 2 up top I would love you forever @wolpo xD

I like the formation for results, I finished 5th first year with Fulham. Very good I think for lower teams looking to get higher up. In terms of chances created and overall exciting games it leaves a lot to be desired, many games can go 45mins without a single highlight or chance from either side.

Ich gehe immer mit der Eingestellten Ausrichtung ins Spiel.
Es gibt nur zwei situationen, in denen ich etwas ändere.
1. ich liege mit mehr als zwei Toren zurück. -> Ausrichtung auf offensiv, Passart auf Mittel und vertikaler, Flanken früh schlagen und schießen bei freier Bahn, spiel schnell fortsetzen, Pressing- und Verteidigungslinie auf ganz hoch und die flügelverteidiger auf Angriff.
2. ich führe in der 85. Minute mit nur einem Tor. -> Ausrichtung auf defensiv, beide Passanten auf ganz niedrig, Zeitspiegels auf voll, neu formieren und Position halten, pressingintensität auf Mittel und die Äußeren Mittelfeldspieler auf unterstützen

match Review heißt in der deutschen Version „spielanalyse“. (Oder so ähnlich. Kann es gerade nicht überprüfen, da ich unterwegs bin). Man kann es nur für genau einem Tag nach einem Spiel auswählen und auch nur, wenn man einen Datenanalysten hat.

Dieses Match Review finde ich irgend wie nicht :(

Hallo Wolpo. Danke für die Taktik. Ich probiere sie gerade bei Gladbach aus. Hast du Tips zur Ausrichtung? Stellst du da je nach Spielverlauf um? Und funktionert es z.B. ohne Änderung auf eine defensivere Ausrichtung zu gehen, wenn man gegen einen starken Gegner führt?

@Thorgrimm
Thank you for your kind words. I wish you much success with your team.

I am very succesful by using your tactic. It suits my Regionalliga club very well - Thanks a lot!

I think the "Wide Midfielder" works best.
The reasons are...
- The "Player Instruction": Crossing Frequency -> Cross Less Often (He will rarely flank and mainly pass)
- He usually stays on the line when he has the ball himself

The Winger should also work, but I wanted a tactic that works mainly with short passes and less with flanks.

The "Defensive Winger" does not work, because he exercises too little pressure to the front.

With the "Wide Playmaker" and "Inverted Winger", the space in front of the box becomes much too narrow.
Box-to-box player, False Nine and the Winger take each other's course.

Just curious, would it be a bad thing to change the wide midfielders to wingers on attack? Or would you say keeping them on as wide midfielders is a must?

Die Spielfeldbreite sollte so eng wie nur irgendwie möglich gewählt werden.
In manchen Ligen kann man auch noch die Länge wählen. Diese dann so lang wie möglich einstellen.
Aber wichtiger ist, dass das Spielfeld eng ist.

Hast du auch einen Tipp für die passende Spielfeldgröße oder ist das egal?

First, I have to say thank you for the really big response. I never expected that. Thank you very much.

@ x Chappi and hozmannrudolf
I redesign the training every week. I only do that because I enjoy it and not because it's really better.
The easiest way is to give the trianing to your assman. Every week you get the training for the next week in the "Inbox". The Assman uses only the first two training sessions every day and always leaves the third one free.
Just fill in these free fields.
One game a week gives you five free seats. Twice Physically (if possible at the beginning of the week) and once each attack and ball possession from the General Training. Add to that a game preparation unit (every week another one) and after matches Match Review.
Just make sure that the intensity bar does not turn red (orange is ok but not every day).

Leisure does not need these spoiled boys. :-)

Wie machst du die Trainings?

First of all, really nice tactic!! i am testing it in Atletico de Madrid and is really successful but id want to know which custom training you are doing (if you could share it would be awesome :D)

ill try it with queens park

yw

@Inactive
Thank you for your comment.

overlord

ngl this tactic looks terrible.

@Folio Novem
Wow, thanks for the nice words.

Finally good tactic of FM19 without attacking mentality and stupid exploits!
Thank you! I like this tactic

@bendocherty2
I hope, you have much success with it.

@Aly_166
Das ist der "FM 2019 FLUT skin dark - Version 1.8"

Thanks for uploading man, I'm going to give this a try with my Sunderland side. Currently struggling in my 2nd season in the EPL. 1st season qualified for Europa League but my tactics appear to have gone a bit wrong this season

Ist vielleicht off topic aber wie heißt dein skin?
