version 6 of this tactic. tested using man city with a few players added for depth. most of the results that weren't statisically should have. there was also a period where the AI was playing without a striker due to haaland and alverez being injuryed.
This is version 4 of my 4-2-4 tactic. I tested it out on my own save I was playing. I managed serie c team Cesena and was aiming for a top half finish. I lost 2 games and drew 2 games in all competitions all coming in the league where I finished on 104 points scoring 107 and conceding only 23. On top of the league title I also won the Coppa Italia Lega Pro and the C super cup.
This is version 3 of a 4-2-4 tactic I am trying to develop. Simming the full season resulted in a 98 point season with a 113 goal difference which is a slight improvement on version 2. Again most of the points dropped were in away games with the only points dropped at home coming in a loss against Leeds. Of the 6 games where points were dropped 3 were due to bad luck. The 3-2 loss to Leeds involved Grealish being sent off in the 1st minute of the match. The 4-4 draw against Leicester had Di Lorenzo getting sent off in the 9th minute. Finally, the 3-1 loss against fulham saw man city only convert 1 chance from a 4 xG where the hosts scored 3 from a 1 xG. With a more controlled test and slightly better luck this tactic could easily produce an +100 point season.
This is version 2 of a new 4-2-4 tactic I am trying to develop. Simming the full season resulted in a 97 point season with a 109 goal difference which is a significant improvement on version 1. Again most of the points dropped were in away games with the only points dropped at home coming against wolves on the final game of the season. To improve the testing process a few players versatile in multiple positions were added to the man city squad to reduce the impact of injuries on the testing.
changes to the tactic: - removed instruction: be more disciplined - changed rb role from iwb(s) to fb(s) - changed mcr role to mezzala(s) - changed dmcl role to segundo volante(s) - changed team mentality from attacking to balanced
This is an initial version of my new 4-2-4 tactic. Simming the full season resulted in man city winning a quintuple. The tactic only dropped points once at home in the league however it struggled away from home. Some of this poor form could also be attributed to injuries accumulating over the season due to the nature of the test. Future versions of this tactic along with a better testing method will hopefully lead to more consistency.
