I probably wouldn't recommend doing that
MrGreen said: THE BEST i've used by far, started with my beloved Middlesbrough - I'm currently playing the game through as a last hurrah for this FM.

I used this tactic alongside @Gerrard Azure v3 set pieces.

Screenshots attached.
If anyone wants more info, please ask :)



MrGreen said: Incredible again, I've just done a 2 season holiday test with Leicester.

DoF did transfers, Azure v3 SPs

Season 1 - 1st in championship, record points.
Season 2 - Domestic treble.

Immense.


Impressive seeing immediate success in the first season of PL while not even controlling transfers and going on holiday
I like to use fccadoni's training schedules

For players aged below 22 don't put a specific role and focus, and for those 22 and above put the role that the tactic (Striker gets AF training, Winger gets IF training etc etc...)

lordus said: Thank you very much. I am very successful with this tactic!
Where would you place your striker with a good jumping reach? Probably AF, right? The PF seems to be more of a F9 or playmaker, right?


Yes, put your best goalscoring striker as the AF and the one who is better at playmaking at PF

Super3 said: Can you change to attacking mentality or is the balanced mentality obsolete about this tactic?

I recommend to only change to attacking when you really need a goal late in the game
FinsFootyManager said: Im trying this tactic out, got tactical familiarity as full, working really well when the opposition is close or worse than me, scoring heaps of goals and not conceding, but when im a clear underdog i have no chances and get battered. Are there some tweaks for if I'm playing a considerably stronger team than me?

I really wouldn't make any changes, if you're the heavy underdog and facing a team with much more quality (especially playing away games) you're more likely to lose than to come out with a win or draw. Just try improving the team anytime you get the chance.
Zhi said: Hi mate thank you for your respond.

Yes I do keep them fresh during the match, it is rare I let them run down to red.

I also trained almost all of my players to have 16 stamina. Speed and Acc are also 16+ beside some midfielders and young players.

The training took a while to adjust, but all the intensity on training are also well balanced, I now rarely get hit by red injury from training, they get a nick here and there.

I also rarely run a game into it's 4th year, I usually just restart the same thing again, so I didn't have these problem with recurring injury, are they curable?


There isn't really a "cure" as according to the game a player will suffer at least 2 injuries per season. The best you can do to try and prevent the injuries is to continue to substitute when they get tired and lower their intensity in training

Zhi said: Hi all, I been using this tactic and have a lot of success with this, it is also very enjoyable watching the games.

However I am on a save just entering into my fourth season, my FULL Backs all have recurring injury on the hamstring, one even have the keen ligament problem, no surprise there as this tactic is very taxing on their roles.

Although not so much of a question about tactic, may I ask if these injuries can be recovered or am I better off selling them?

I ask if I should sell them off because I read on the internet that I need to rest them from training and only play them half the match, but it's been a month and there has no zero change or improvement.

I would love to have some advice on this if anyone could help me would be much appericiated.

PS: I have 5 wing backs, I rote them from each match almost religiously, I only brought the 5th one because of injuries.


Are the players getting injured in game or during training?
If in game: Around minute 65-70 of a match you should look at their fitness energy level, if it’s reached poor (the dark orange) or below, you should substitute them off

If the players are getting injured in training, you could either change the schedule you are using or change the intensity,
You can try changing the intensity for the excellent condition (dark green) and the good condition (light green) to normal intensity and keep the rest the same.
Or you can put all training intensity except the dark green to ‘No Pitch Work or Gym Training’ and keep the dark green on normal

Also check the scouting report on the players, in the negatives, see if they’re injury prone, that might affect it too

- Removed 'Hold Position' from right DM
