Grimlock said: FM is a football simulation game so it's supposed to produce somewhat realistic result. Even the most effective tactics in FM don't give you 100% win rate. Using the most effective tactics in FM only guarantees that you overachieve with your team which means in your case when you play with Karabükspor(media prediction is 20th) then you can expect to finish somewhere above the mid table at the end of the season and even if at the begging of the season you got 4 loses in a row or 10 loses in a row then you still can finish above the mid table or even win the league and if you can't stand seeing your team losing then probably, FM is a wrong game for you... try playing FIFA or PES only there you can win every match with Karabükspor :D

:D :D :D

wow!!!! Really?

media prediction is 20. Because the team have nothing at the begining. But when I take over, I have  list for transfer. Great CA and positon rating. and after the transfers and loans, team become an average team for its league and I expect that this tactic helps me on my way. Sorry, it is not happening.

So thank you for a your great reply. It will help to people who start to play this game yesterday... not for me sorry.
Rince said: I used the Phoenix 3.0 tactic, the very attacking version and the conditions saving version for 3 seasons with West Ham.

I'd say West Ham is a quite small club, it's predicted to finish the 12th place by the media in the 1st season.


In the 1st season I finished the 6th place





The media prediction in the 1st season



The team at the end of the 1st season



The transfers in the 1st season






In the 2nd season I finished the 1st place








The media prediction before the 2nd season




The team at the end of the 2nd season




The transfers in the 2nd season






In the 3rd season I won the league title again and also, won the Champions League Cup! :cool:








The Champions League Final vs Man Utd





The media prediction before the 3rd season :)




The team at the end of the 3rd season




The transfers in the 3rd season





In summary for 3 seasons with West Ham I won 2 EPL titles and 1 Champion League title and that despite the fact my was still weaker than the top teams in EPL such as Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd and Chelsea


In my case it does not work for me. I started two different career with same team. In first try, we lost everything In second one, in the first 6 matches, 4 losses and 2 wins. maybe it is not suitable for lower leagues. I have good transfers and staff. but after sixth match I was so angry to my team. We have spaces in defence. Rivals have comfort for shoots. And all we do is, send ball to opponents' defenders.

I will try this tactic with another team.
infxamus said: Is it just me that's not being successful with this tactic? Even losing to Brentford, familiarity is full as well.

I try it with Karabükspor. Media Prediction is 20. Not successful neither. I think it is not good with small team. My team defenders are shooting the ball forward without aim and opponent's attack start.
