Mongoose F9, seeing as F9 seem to be pretty OP at the moment, I wanted to see if I could utilise an F9 within Mongoose. I've decided on the below shape as its given the best results so far, its a 41221, the F9 drops deeper creating space for the 2 shadow strikers to exploit whilst chipping in with some goals themselves.
Tested with Liverpool and won all competitions, no editors used. I will test with more teams tomorrow.
Lampochka97 said: There is no perfect and correct way to test tactics. Yes, my method is bad because I freeze players, but I do tests 3 times and if Salah misses six months and I only do 1 test, then the result will be wrong. In the 2nd test, Alisson may miss six months, the result will also change. Probably, my result is more incorrect for those who are just looking for good tactics and my tests work only for me Expand
There is nothing wrong with doing that, but I would suggest freezing the other players from other teams too. Creating the same environment each time is fine, but if you're only freezing Liverpool then it's more than likely going to be very one sided as Liverpool have the advantage, but by doing them all at least you're offering an equal playing field
Lampochka97 said: English teams are very strong in FM. if you play a lot, you will see that in the first seasons Liverpool most often wins the Champions League even under computer control Expand
I do play a lot and there is no doubt they are strong in Europe but they don't win it every time, they lack squad depth. If you're testing with Liverpool then you'll struggle if you get a few injuries
Lampochka97 said: Liverpool have the strongest squad in my opinion. Sooner or later, any team will become strong. I don't see any point in changing tactics, that is, first set tactics for a weak team, then for an average one, then for a strong one and then for a very strong one. Usually people choose one tactic and play it all their career. As the tests show, the results between the tactics are not so much different, that is, the tactics for Liverpool will not fail in Norwich. Expand
disagree with Liverpool having the strongest squad, they may possibly have the best starting 11 at a push but they lack depth and quality in depth
what you mean cheat? what cheats? for me there is no such thing as plug and play anymore, what worked last game may not work next game, you need to make subtle changes to the tactic from game to game. I'm not saying plug and play tactics won't work because they will to some extent. But what you're experiencing is normal.
what team are you? did you finish above expectations last season? if so teams may be more wary of you. In my opinion, from what I've seen over the years the higher your reputation gets the more defensive teams become against you. This is where you will need to manage from game to game

As always, would appreciate any feedback

it shouldn't do
try removing some of the aggressive PIs, tackle harder and it will reduce the intensity

Ahh shit, why have I never seen that
