Zorojuro said: Idk im not pro or anything but for me, it gets confused when there is no tactical style, its like they do wtv they want or its messy you know? Thats why i always put some tactical style or i feel that there is no meaning in what i do in terms of playstyle.

Thats why i asked what u used in 4-2-3-1

But i get that i shouldn t pay attention to it.


This is a gegenpress tactic, if you put it this way, you could load in a preset park the bus then edit the crap out of it, adding and removing instructions then all of a sudden its no longer a park the bus tactic but a vertical tika taka but your tactical style still says park the bus but its clearly not that tactical style, the tactical style naming doesn't change unless you change it. Like I said I wouldn't focus any attention on that whatsoever
Zorojuro said: So to be clear, its just a custom no tactical style at all?

There will be a tactical style but this is just what Gerrard has named his, a lot of the top tactics are gegenpress, I wouldn't pay any attention to the tactical style
Zorojuro said: Okay one question, you just use custom tactic without any tactical style? Like imagine, gerard used tiki taka, what u use? Nothing? dunno if im making myself clear tho.

Yeah its clear, I wouldn't take much note of the tactical style on custom tactics. Its sort of a signature for some people. Gerrards tactics are more gegenpress than tiki taka
dzek said: This setup, featuring two PFs on support duty and two IFs on attack duty, seems effective. I've crafted a similar setup before, and it performed well. EF 424 IF P105 AC (Dzek Tweak 1)

Here are some insights from this year's FM with this specific arrangement:
- The PFs drop back into the AM positions to play a more active role in the build up of attacks, drawing the opposing team's center-backs out of position. This movement creates opportunities for other players, particularly the IFs, to exploit spaces behind the defense.
- The new "Positional Play" feature shows that if the wing players converge towards the centre with or without the ball and the central players shift to AM roles, the wing players become less effective due to the priority they give to central movements. This explains the discrepancy in scores with the previous VOL test and with this test.


Further analysis of this setup could yield interesting results. ;)


Interesting, I wonder how 2 DLFs on support would fare. Good insight there pal
Antal said: Bro, is your tactic effective only in an attacking mood? Will it work in a weak club in an amateur league with a reserved and defensive mood against stronger teams?

I haven't tested it in another mentality, but what I would say is that I've often had success against stronger teams using an attacking mentality. Not saying you're guaranteed to win but worth a try
Aye I've seen it now because people are posting the link and tactic in this thread. It's not based on that tactic
All the 4231s are very similar. I don't know what this Indonesia tactic is people are referring to but it's not based on that

Hey mate,

SK - Tackle Harder
FB - Takes more risks, tackle harder, stay wider, cross from byline, cut inside
BPD - Dribble more, tackle harder
DM - Take more risks, tackle harder
IF - Sit narrower, tackle harder, mark specific position **Right IF on LB and Left IF on RB**
AM - Take more risks, hold up ball, move into channels, tackle harder
AF - Take more risks, tackle harder

Changes-
IF duty changed to Attack







A 433 that through testing has been very solid.

AM in charge of training, best XI selected. Set Piece coach in charge of set pieces







Thanks pal but it couldn't have been done without your tactical tweaks which showed that underlaps werent as effective in a 4231 👏🏻

Changes-
Removed underlap
Removed dribble more from FB







Just another 4231, named after the asteroid that apparently is going to smash into Earth.

As always best XI selected, AM in charge of training, Set pieces left to coach.

I have used Akumacy 4 2 3 1 finalshot MK5 as the base tactic, I analysed the style of play for approx 10 competitive matches and saved over the original hence the tactical style name.







Can you tell us what you've changed and what makes this tactic different from this one https://fm-arena.com/thread/12606-artabora-ekin/
