Trying to create a classic english 4-4-2 with this shape. Good result with Bournemouth on holiday so lets see how well it can do here.
Based on the higher scoring version of my first tactic: https://fm-arena.com/thread/7509-4-2-4-0-strikerless-i/

Changes:

Mentality from Balanced to Attacking
Added Overlap on the Right and Overlap on the Left
Added Hold Position on both DM´s
Probably my last go with this shape, this is based on the first version of my tactic that scored a bit better than the second version (https://fm-arena.com/thread/7512-3-5-2-italian-flow-i/).

Changes:

Mentality from Balanced to Attacking
Added Dribble more and Take More Risks to both AF´s
Avenger22 said: What does this TI play out of defence actually affect ? does it affect the passing of all defenders, through balls from defender, runs or just the build up goal kick formation and little short passing from defenders ?
This is an interesting TI many times it results in either a chance for you or a catastrophic misplaced ball most like irl when in high risk high reward stuff.


I believe that most of the times its more of a risk TI than anything else as playing out from the back in the Match Engine can lead to defensive mistakes which in turn can cost goals (matches etc). Even in real life this is seen all the time as teams that like to build from the back from time to time have normally either a mistake from the GK or from the defenders around it when faced against high pressure systems.

Its probably a cool TI if you are making a recreation of a specific system but I think it is still really volatile.
Based on the second variant of this tactic: https://fm-arena.com/thread/7506-4-3-3-spacey-ii/

TI Changes Removed:
Step up more

Role Changes:
Both CWB (A) to WB (S)
BWM (D) to DM (S)
Both IF (S) to T (A)


A lot better run in game so should be interessting to see if Trequartista can outperform the current IF´s in here.
Hey guys, can this be retested for this new patch please? Attached all the necessary screenshots of the new run as normally requested.

Avenger22 said: Very good score for a WB-less formation, try it with DM/S and attacking mentality maybe even better score

Thank you my man, will give this another run with those recommendations as soon as I get home to see how it performs!

I feel like the triple DM setup offers really good defensive solidity this year.
Testing this 352 shape with Defensive Wingers and a hybrid of 3 DMS.
Trying to find an optimal way to play Strikerless so I adapted the top tactic (https://fm-arena.com/thread/7223-424-quadrowave-x-4/) and I changed the following:

CM (S) - DM (S) with same PI´s
Both AF´s - Two SS only with Tackle Harder

Also, I removed shoot less often from both wingbacks and central defenders to give them a bit more freedom.
Tweaked the first version: https://fm-arena.com/thread/7505-4-3-3-spacey-i/

Changes:

IWB (A) - CWB (A)
A - BWM (D)
W (S) - IF (S)
Trying IWB, A, VOL and W combo with this shape
Trying to see how this shape holds and see if we can incorporate two IFBs in a back three successfully.

It performed quite well on holiday mode however i am curious to see how 1 BPD and 2 IFB tests here in FM Arena.

As always, any suggestions or improvements to the tactic are welcome!
After failing hard on my last shape i decided to tweak it quite a lot to go in line with FM meta.

Trying out 2 HBs in DM spot as the role seems to produce some good consistency. Plus it can provide additional passes into space with PI Take More Risks while offering interessting defensive positioning.

Lets see how well this can run here, let me know what you guys think.
Hey guys, long time lurker of this forum but finally decided to upload my first tactic to see where can i improve in tactic creation and adjustment.

Tactic is based on Passion4FM work in FM23 however I retweaked quite a lot of things to make it more viable for FM24. There isnt a lot of possession based tactics around here as most successful tactics seem to be focused on gegenpress and attacking spacial advantage so should be interessting to see what this can do here.

Results were with holiday mode so I wonder if it can perform a bit better if you take charge of the games.

Any sort of reccomendations to improve the tactic while keeping the model of play would be much appreciated.

All the best,
Juwow
