Smeagol's Myprecious tactics

by Smeagol, Jan 19, 2020

Hello. I have created a tactic based on my 4-1-2-3DM tactic from FM19 v.19.3 (https://fm-arena.com/tactic/25-4123-DM/), which I have had a lot of success with. Since I noticed that strikerless formations works very well in this version, I put my striker in central midfield instead, and then did some other tweaks. I would love to see if it works for other people, and if it works in the tactic testing.

The tactic I refer to and which I have had the most success with is the one called
"Myprecious 4-4-2-0 one DM". I have also created two other tactics that I have also uploaded here.

To protect against counter attacks and long balls over the top, I use fast centre backs, and in the "Myprecious 4-4-2-0 one DM" tactic I have one of them covering and man-marking any lone striker. My defensive line is also set to standard.

The main attacking threat in all the three tactics are the two shadow strikers, and my experience is that a lot of the goals come from through balls through the middle of the pitch. I also experience a lot of the time that the ball playing defender will pass the ball back to the keeper, who will kick it long to one of the wide players, which often creates dangerous situations for the opposition. This is why I have decided to buy Ederson, because he has very high vision and kicking. I think the keeper could be an important attacking element in this formation, but that's something that I have to test out more. There are also some instances where the defense will play the ball a lot between them and the defensive playmaker, to drag the opposition up the pitch, before the ball is passed directly to one of the attacking players.

The reason I think the tactic "Myprecious 4-4-2-0 one DM" is the best tactic, is because I think it works better against wide attacks, while also doing a good job against attacks through the middle (mostly long balls over the top). I have had a lot of success with the "Myprecious 4-4-2-0 two DMs" too, but ultimately I thought it was too unstable against top teams, and the opposition had more success from wide positions, which I think is the main differences between that tactic and "Myprecious 4-4-2-0 one DM". As for attacking prowess, I think they are both equals. The libero tactic is fairly untested, but the few matches I have played with it was encouraging.

As for set pieces, they are created by TFF.

Thanks for the tips. I don't want to start a new game, so I don't think I will.

First game in beta I am steamrolling Juventus away from home in CL, so encouraging stuff. 14-1 shots on goal difference.

For those who are interested in trying the tactic out with the 20.2.3 version, here's my last results before I switched to beta:

Ok, so I decided to go back to my tried and tested FM19 4123DM and I see no reason to start a new thread, so here it is.
I have made some modifications to the tactic, like for example it is not as direct as the old one, and I have set the team to work the ball into the box. I also have one of the central defenders play as a ball playing defender in a covering role. There is other stuff too, but you should get most of the picture by looking at the images I have uploaded of the team settings and individual instructions.

Free kicks, corners and so on is TFF routine 6.
