Really good tactic. I use it for important and/or difficult games against better quality teams and it works a treat. I use it with my Celtic team in the European Champions Cup when up against a Barcelona or PSG away from home and my aim is to either sneak a win or a draw. I've had good success with it and will continue to use it. I love how the wing-backs play, both of my wing-backs get a lot of assists when playing in this formation and tactic. Good work!

An excellent tactic when employed with the right team, I just finished my season with this, really sucsessful, finished 3rd in total.. just brilliant

Rhapxody is right abut DMC and ATT Full Back instead of WB,i tested myself with AC Milan and its work very good and more balance,also control of the ball is increase .Very good tactic at all,i try last 3 years to find something like that :)))

Good work for sure

I experimented with this tactic for about 10 games. I have played with my team for over 7 seasons now and my players are rated minimum four stars with mostly 15 or higher passing stats.

With this tactic, I was outmanned in the middle as your attacking options are forced to go wide and utilise crosses more as there is a lack of support from your midfielders to provide a passing option.

I decided to tweak the tactic by replacing the extra centreback with a defensive midfielder playing short passes to the central midfielders. I also utilised attacking fullbacks with high stamina who cover the space behind the wingers.

My changes resulted in a greater balance defensively and offensively. Fullbacks provide more cover for centrebacks and play a supporting role for the wingers. Ball retention is higher as the wingers have more options to pass to in the centre of the pitch.

Amazing tactic. i´m managing crystal pallace and I am having excellent results
Nyoomfist May 24, 2014 @ 11:40am 
This tactic is superb!

Great tactic. Used in my Watford Game, so far in my first season, I'm top of the table with a 7 point gap with 5 games to go and on a 20 game unbeaten run.
I also got to the Capital One Cup Semi-Final :)

Went straight towards Euro League after my promotion to the Bundesliga. I did some transfers during the break and will see how my slighty more specialized (better) squad will do this time. The highlights of the first season included win/draw against Dortmund and one draw against munich. Agressive teams with two forwards are still dangerous.

Very nice tactic. Played first season German Bundesliga without any tactics (except formation) and just got 11th place. Switched to this after first season and now after 18 matches i'm on 3rd. very nice, just my Strikers are really bad, most goals were shot from the AMs or the M(C)s and from corners from the CBs
thinandcrispy May 21, 2014 @ 3:19pm 
This is a solid tactic. It's worked for my team and had them performing well above expectations :-)
fiddypence2010 May 21, 2014 @ 7:28am 
Yeah what Accipiter posted...having a good BPD is vital, in my Inter Milan team I was using Samuel because he was my best passing CB in my side when I first took over, but, he is so slow and it was conceeding me goals... so I snapped up a decent CB from Valencia (Ruiz I think his name was) for £4.5m and all my problems was solved. you ideally need a defender with no less pace than 13, a good tackler and obviously someone who can pass.

You people that are moaning obviously haven't put the right type of player in each position, or your training schedule is rubbish.

I walked the Serie A with this, had the best defence in the League, and scored the most amount of goals scored, lost 3 games all season. and Won the Italian Cup.
Marta Farta Gentleman May 20, 2014 @ 11:49pm 
Question - what size do you usually have the pitch when playing this formation?
Accipiter  [author] May 20, 2014 @ 10:34pm 
Well basically your BPD isn't really the same as the two other CBs. He need a decent passing game and be fast enough to control the centre of the pitch. He is the secure anchor for your GK, the CDs and the DLP under pressure. He is also the one trying to intercept long passes towards the enemy forwards.
smbutcher31 May 20, 2014 @ 1:51pm 
I have one bold suggestion. Insted of 3 central defenders play with 2 CB and 1 halfback.
With this you can have 1 more player who's more technically skilled.
mauro.lima May 20, 2014 @ 1:50pm 
I like this tatic because I win every matches 4-0
EvilTran May 20, 2014 @ 11:18am 
this tactic works well with the opposite strong club (such as Barcalona, Manchester City, ...). But i'll be worse with weak club. They're using pressing and lot of players in their side. We can't beat them.
Benficalover May 20, 2014 @ 9:41am 
not bad,but you have a alternative one??when we loose??
Peak  [author] May 20, 2014 @ 9:04am 
@ulkargoktug / fugger88: Well then, do not use it. It's fully up to you. Anyways, i also apriciate negative feedback, if it is constructive.

One of the terrible tactics in game. All matches finish 1-1 or 1-2. Pointless
Packie Chan May 20, 2014 @ 7:53am 
Worst tactic I've ever used, pointless
F A D E D May 20, 2014 @ 6:30am 
Nice tactic, using it for a couple of days now and it's working pretty well. Thanks.
Clint Padmore May 19, 2014 @ 1:56pm 
Rhapxody, when you say utilised, what do you mean about that?
I've tried the tweak, and ist absolut amazing, working wonders for my Münster team.
Accipiter  [author] May 19, 2014 @ 2:02am 
You need to access the tactic within the ingame browser. Open the menu where you also load your saves and go to the steam workshop from there. Once you have selected the tactic you can load it as one of your saved tactics.
:) May 19, 2014 @ 12:22am 
How does it work? When you have suscribed? then what? where do you find the tatic in game?
Peak  [author] May 18, 2014 @ 12:11pm 
seems interesting, i`ll give it a try

A couple of screens showing my progress towards promotion to the Bundesliga. As for match preparation: Against stronger teams to can't go wrong with defending set pieces, weaker teams get attacking set pieces oder attacking movement.
Clint Padmore May 17, 2014 @ 3:35am 
And OI?
Clint Padmore May 17, 2014 @ 3:35am 
What about Match prep?
fiddypence2010 May 16, 2014 @ 5:27pm 
I'm using this with Inter Milan and it's been an amazing tactic, 24 games in and I've only lost 1 match (against Juventus away). I've made one change and that's changing the keeper to defend rather than use him as a ''sweeper keeper''. But I'm very impressed with the tactic, I'm getting a lot of goals from my inside forwards, my striker, and my central midfielder is scoring for fun too...defensively I'm best in the league by some distance.

But this tactic I've learnt a lot from using this, by looking at individual player instructions etc so I'm going to try and make a 4-5-1 tactic using simular instructions which I think will work.

But thanks so much for this wonderful tactic ;)

@Peak
Klar, nimm Dir alles was Du brauchst oder hilfreich findest. Ich bin aktuell im 2. Spiel der Rückrunde und im DFB-Pokal jetzt erst im Viertelfinale gegen Stuttgart (Pressing/Ibisevic) raus. Nach der Saison schreibe ich noch mal was abschließendes und lade ein paar Screens hoch.
Peak  [author] May 15, 2014 @ 2:56pm 
@Accipiter: Danke das du dir die Zeit nimmst hier ein wenig zu helfen. Ich würde gern mit deiner Erlaubnis deine Ausführungen in die Beschreibung übernehmen. Und bevor ich es vergesse, viel erfolg mit den Geißböcken ;)

@Thagesen: As Accipiter said, it is all about passing and possession,a pure tank-striker would ruin your offense. Most of the time your team use the flanks if the center of the field is crowded and vice versa.

@Training
after your team has adopted this tactic, Ball Control is the crucial factors. For Match Training, Teamwork and Att. Movement are beneficial. Also most of your Players have to learn their Role on the pitch.
Accipiter  [author] May 15, 2014 @ 2:12pm 
Your forward should exactly not be a tank. He should be something like a mix of an agile offensive midfielder with a strong finish. In many cases he will receive the ball from the AP and then either goes for the box or passes to one of the inside wingers.

Once your players have learned the tactic you won't get into many situations where the enemy team has a chance to score. Aggressive opponents will also be late for the tackle quite often, collecting a 2nd yellow cards or just give your AP a good spot for a free kick.

@Training
If you have a reserve first team right footed winger who can only play on the right flank you should set him a new role as a left winger. If you have a youngster forward in your under 19 squad which is fast and agile set his focus to become a Trequartista. For general training you should aim for a good passing play. If you lose the ball against offensive teams with fast forwards you will get overrun in second like Madrid did with Munich in this years CL.
Landsholds Lars May 15, 2014 @ 1:48pm 
Can someone describe the crucial factors of it's succes? Is it because of an overload on the flanks? But I recon that you will need a targetman with some serious abillities, since you don't have any support from an offensive midfielder, so your striker has to be a tank, both in the box, and as a station up front to hold on the ball.
Some of you, who have had great succes with this formation, can you please be more detailed about this tactic.
Thanks.
cjl1000 May 15, 2014 @ 11:29am 
whats the best training for this?
Accipiter  [author] May 15, 2014 @ 6:30am 
Started a new carrer playing Germany/Köln with this tactic. They start out in the 2nd division with a normal 4-2-2 squad and you won't have any money to spent on new players. Now near the end of the 1st half of the season I'm leading the race for promotion and I'm still in the national cup.

Just place your players as requested by Peak and use the highlight feature to see which stats are vital for your Treq (since in most cases you won't have one) and choose the forward with high passing and the best overall kit. Don't forget to train your subs/reserve towards their new roles and DON'T switch to something like attacking/overload if you receive a goal. It's all about patience.
EvilTran May 14, 2014 @ 7:25pm 
This tactic's good! I've used my tactic 4-4-2 to play with Aletico Madrid. But it's draw instead lose. When I change your tactic (tiki-taka). I beat them 8-0
Peak  [author] May 14, 2014 @ 4:38am 
@Josh Knight: it's all a matter of time, i'll try it
