Davieboy said: hi do you train the players in the postions or leave to assistant?

Hey, I train the players in the roles I want to use them in, but I also look at additional focus, I focus on physicals, so if they lack acceleration and pace, I will train quickness. My guidelines are if its 15 or under Ill focus on it
MUForever said: Thanks, it's been working great in my save so far. Was just asking since my assistant would often say to switch to a positive mentality

Yeah ignore him. I don't think anyone listens to the AM

Tweaked version of https://fm-arena.com/thread/10629-katana-4231-att-103p-v1-9/

Changes -
Removed get stuck in
Removed tackle harder from all roles

Removed these due to the suggestions from this thread https://fm-arena.com/thread/10934-how-to-deal-with-lots-of-yellow-cards/







MUForever said: Hi, this is my first FM. Should I be using the balanced mentality for every game or should I change according to opponent and in game?

Hey, the balanced mentality should work fine but please don't expect to win every game, you're going to lose some games. Concentrate on getting the fastest squad you can get, acceleration and pace is key. If you have high values in these attributes then you should win most games
Tweaked version of this from @alex https://fm-arena.com/thread/10923-442-classic-with-style/ assuming he has used a @Gianaa9 tactic as the base considering the tactical style naming.

All props to them, just wanted to see how the tactic would perform with the the DM double pivot. Scored well, conceded few and did well with the overall points in the PL and a few trophies in the cabinet to go along with it.

Holiday tested. I selected best XI.

teambash said: nice. what about attacking, defending and corners brother?

I didn't upload it with set pieces mate, have a look at this thread from @Mark https://fm-arena.com/thread/8935-set-piece-testing/
Bradjc94 said: What would be your reasons for preferring POS V1.39?

I just feel like it controls a game much better. More stable than attacking and it also achieved the highest score over 4800 from my 4231. Can't remember the figure, think it was 68.3

Y15ARG said: it's not just the shape though

Pretty much every tactic has the same back 6, the only variations you see are the front 4 and everyone has:

short passing
high tempo
hard tackling (which is the 1st thing I turn off on all of them, makes very little difference to results, makes a huge difference to bookings and suspensions over a season)
pass into space
counter
counter press
distribute fast

etc etc etc

For the love of God, somebody do something different :|

PS for record, I do like your Katana 4231, 104p v3.11 is my favourite, but maybe do that with something other than ST-IF-AM-IF - I adapt it a little to the players I have available, but love the concept


I've tried mate but it simply doesn't work as well as the other ones pal, what change's are you making?
