pgsonline said: Still enjoying this one. Really nice to have a tactic with 2 strikers. Still find some annoyance with wide players running into dead ends - but they do assist and score, so hardly a big gripe.
Testing my Croatian team in the Champions League now - so stronger competition. Firstly played Real Madrid in the Super Cup. They had a 32 year old Mbappe (still amazing). Turned them over 4-0. Lost against Leverkusen in Cl group stage, but also beat Galatasary 3-0 away and Arsenal 4-1 at home.
So sitting pretty on 6 points after 3 games. Hope to keep building the rep so I can bring in some better class players. Expand
Glad you're still having fun with it, I was looking at potentially changing the wide players to wingers but I think someone has already released something similar using wingers
Not much difference between v2 and v3, this one is the same but BPD instead of CB. Wasn't bashing him, was just highlighting that a wave variant with the same shape had already been done
Just added a tweaked version of the tweaked version
Main change is DW role is now WM. Ran a test with 3 teams, Liverpool, PSG and Villa. AM in charge of team selection and training. Goals galore with not much difference in the defence.
Liverpool won the treble 154 goals scored with Salah scoring 67. Some ridiculous results in terms of goals
PSG won a double 174 league goals scored with only 14 conceded (I know, I know its PSG) Mbappe top scored with 69. Check out some of the results!!!
Villa finished 3rd 90 goals scored (best in league) only 38 conceded (4th best) Watkins top scored with 30
pgsonline said: I've been managing in the Croatian top flight for a few years now. I was an underdog, but am now the top rated team there. However, there is no league or cup money and it is hard to attract big names. Therefore doing well in Europe is important.
I've tried many tactics and they are great domestically, but can't cope with the leap to European major clubs. This season, after finishing third in the Champions League group stages, I decided to switch it up. I played with this formation on FM19 and enjoyed it - but I had a big club then, I was unsure how it would cope with a team with less ability.
In all, I played 17 games (to the end of the season). It went unbeaten. I won the domestic cup 5-1 against my biggest rivals. But in the Europa League it surprised me. Took down PSV 7-2 over 2 legs, then Porto 9-2. Final against Atletico Madrid. A team on paper who are way better than us. We won 4-1.
This comes with a caveat that it does seem to offer up chances to your opponent, but we made plenty of good tackles, blocks and saves. The AMC floats in out of games and the wide players still have the urge to run into corners and not get enough good balls in. But, it scores nice goals, plays some nice footy and can clearly push a teams performances. Whether it will cope when it comes to playing Barcelona, Liverpool, Juve etc, I don't know. Whether my players just suited the roles and were starting to hit new levels anyway, perhaps. But it has pushed my team to a new level and added a new spark to the save.
Great stuff - I'm enjoying it. Expand
Thanks for the great feedback, I agree there are some aspects of the tactic that can be improved and it is something I am looking at the moment

Zippo said: If you changed something then it isn't a copy and it's something different and it's enough to put your name on the side of it.
My opinion, you played it fair, you said that this tactic isn't entirely yours and it's a tweak. Also, you said what changes you made so people can evaluate the contribution you made. Expand
Ok mate, cheers, are you ok to edit the author please?
Milakus said: But you always can give credits to him in the description of the tactic and also, write up what changes you made.
I said it looks confusing because it looks like he made and posted this tactic but he isn't involved at all.
Honestly, if you check the TIs/Roles in his tactic then you'll see his tactic is heavily based on ZaZ - Blue, the only difference between his tactic and ZaZ - Blue I see is the CM(A) was converted into the 3rd SS and that's all.
Anyway, congrats! Well Done! Expand
Ah, I see what you mean now. To be honest I did think the original looked like ZaZ but couldn't see a reference to it in the original.
It did very well in the testing. 6.7 rating is a very high rating.
But I don't understand why you made kinderjoy to be the author because it's your tactic despite it's a tweak. All that is quite confusing if you ask me. Expand
Thank you,
The tactic fundamentals are his, I only made minor tweaks in my opinion and I'm not one to take credit for someone else's work pal
