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? Expand
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
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.

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
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 Expand
I've tried mate but it simply doesn't work as well as the other ones pal, what change's are you making?
Using this in my Bolton save, 2 promotions in a row and 2nd place finish in my first season in the premier. Predicted 20th. Amazing results towards the end of season beating City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea
I concentrated on acceleration and pace when recruiting players. Dorgu, Wanner and Addai are beasts, highly recommend signing them if possible

I agree buddy, unfortunately its just the way the game has gone this year. There'll be different shapes that dominate hopefully going forward or a more variety of shapes
Y15ARG said: to be fair there is not much to differentiate any of the top tested tactics, it's getting a bit dull
Need somebody to come up with something very different, a good 3 at the back system, or a change of tempo, or something more direct, just something different, come up tactic geniuses Expand
We've tried mate but these types of tactics aren't as effective as these ones, trust me, thousands of tactics have been submitted, all different shape and sizes but nothing it topling the 424 at the moment

Quite a bit of an increase, so I thought I'd tweak it to match the OP roles, FBa, AFa, IFs etc..
Added the usual team instructions and players instructions.
Holiday tested, best XI selected.
