Original is fantastic for me, but this one is nowhere near as good imo. This is actually playing the game and not holiday mode.
Chris said: How is this tactic working for you? For me is being pretty worse than "Grand vol" or "New age v4" Expand
The first time I tried it, it didn’t seem that good, but I noticed lots of back post crosses, so tried it again with a striker who had good jumping and pace, and it’s probably the best tactic I have tried so far. I do have a very strong team for this league though. Signed the AMC on loan in January and he has been amazing. Out of all the tactics I have tried so far, I would say this one just tops Red General.
Chris said: Yeah, I'm having the same problem with CF, when he is an average ST it's hard to make him performing, but when I have a top striker he smashes every match. I'm glad to read your comments Expand
Mine scores a good amount. Currently my AF has 43 in 36 and my CF has 22 in 32. Ive noticed many of the goals come from high crosses despite the low crossing TI. My AF has 16 jumping, so probably why he takes most of the goals. When my CF isn’t scoring though, he really isn’t doing much else other than helping with the overload down the right and creating soace for my third highest scorer, my right inside forward.

My striker has 22 goals in 11 games. I find if you have strikers with both pace and jumping, they are far more consistent. When I was using a fast striker he had a lot of spells not scoring. Most my goals come from crosses. Striker and amc have most. My dms rarely score.
Sirraf said: very very goood job mate!! P.S. what about your training schedules season?? Expand
I play fm touch on ipad so there isn’t as in depth schedules. So training on balanced plus all players individually training the role they play in the tactic with intensity on automatic.
Oh ok 😆 I’m in Europe, and now have a bank balance of 5 million. Not sure I want that yet 🥺 Gonna be hard keeping players fit for Europa League, FA Cup, Carabou Cup, 46 league games and the Papa Johns Trophy, with a wage budget of 50k 😆
Getting a bit ridiculous now 😆 I’m in league two and just made the FA Cup final, beating Wolves, Forest and now Chelsea 3-1 in the semi, to set up a final against Bournemouth. I actually expect to beat them. Made another tweak to the tactic that seems to have really helped. I noticed that with the trigger press set to max in team instructions, my individual instructions actually had my players pressing balanced and less often. I set trigger press in team instructions to standard and this allowed me to change all the players individual pressing to more often. After doing this I just left team pressing on standard, and when watching the highlights I noticed a significant increase in my forwards and wingers winning possession through pressing. Might be worth looking at in other tactics.
I don’t think it will be much different when tested. DL standard works better fo me because I usually play lower league or with underdogs, so VH DL is tough because it’s hard to buy good fast centre backs.
Started a new lower league save with Chorley. 6th tier of English football. Decided on this tactic after testing all the tactics on here. Dropped the defensive line to standard, as this seems more stable defensively, but still scores just as many goals. As you can see, the league is already ours, and just smashed QPR of the championship, 5-0. Wage budget for Chorley is £9,000 😆 One league defeat was to Fylde, a few days before the QPR cup game, so I had half my team resting.
OneEye said: Not played so many games, but after 10 league games, this tactic is absolute ridiculous. Averaging almost 5 goals a game with Derby County and my central striker has 17 goals in 9 games, and my CB has 9 in 9 games. Will see if it continues, but so far so good. Structure VII has been the best for me, but this will top it if form continues. Also find with structure VII, a standard defensive line works better if you are a lesser team. Expand
23 games into the season now and the team is already on 98 goals. Just played Man City away in the cup and drew 4-4 but lost on penalties. Bare in mind I’m in league 1.

Nothing at all, just played every game the same. Top of the championship so far in season 2. W16 D2 L2 up to now, and beat Chelsea 6-2 away in the cup.
I would say this season was a success. Had a 10-1 victory along the way, which I have never had before. My CB actually scored more than a goal a game. Also made the FA Cup semi and League Cup QF. Best season ever by a good margin. Have gone undefeated before but that included a fair few draws.
Guidito said: How do strikers behave? If I have a slower striker, should he play on the sides or middle? Expand
From my tests, the central striker scores a lot of headers, so jumping is as important as pace, and the biggest problem I have found is if they are slow, they can’t keep up with play when you have a fast break, which is offen.
Muukzor said: RIP Tornado. Shows It's basically exactly the same as others. (Has exactly the same Goals & Points as the tactic It's based on now.) Had hopes :< Expand
Well so far this one is better post update than pre update, and it was amazing pre update. Seen a lot of people saying corners are much worse now, but they are fine for me. This is IOS version, but I believe ME is same.
