Trying a tactic with no attacking midfielder

chf now playing striker OOP

The striker roles that have worked best for me are chf and dlf, so maybe try with those first? As for the playing through the middle if it doesn’t work, then try something else. Maybe putting pass reception to balanced?
Hi :)
First of all, i like your tactic, it’s nice to see something other than the Meta tactics every once in a while. If i understand it correctly, you are trying to do a tactic where you do some tiki-taka and a lot of passes? If thats the case i will list a couple of options, that might improve your results a bit while still keeping the “soul” of your tactic alive.

Out of possesion you could try counterpressing, it’s currently the Meta and so it should win you more games, but it should also give you more possesion wich fits in with your tactic and allows you more control and passing. You could also try lowering your defensive line a bit, so you aren’t too exposed to long balls. And maybe putting on tackle harder.

In possesion you could try focusing play down the middle, since you have a lot of players there and your attacking width is on narrower. it should create an oveload, so your players have more passing options.

You could try turning on counter attacking, but i’m not sure how well thats fits into your tactic. also you might want to set dribbling to balanced but agian not sure if it fits into the tactic.

Another thing you could try is to change some of the player roles. You could maybe change the role of you striker, and make one of you dm’s (probably the one on the left) something like a bbm or bbp.


All of these are just suggestions and not things you have to do. You should experament around a bit and find something you like. i wish you the best of luck :)

Hi🙂
This is my first post, so if i have done anything wrong with the posting of this tactic please let me know, so i can try and fix it. :)

I have been playing FM for under a year so i am quite new to the game. I recently found this forum, and it has been a great help in better understanding the game. And that has inspired me to try making my own tactic.

I am trying to create a "Meta" tactic that performs well in the match engine but also has the "Normal" positions of a 4-3-3. I'm trying to get the IP shape to work before i move on to OOP.

The inspiration for this tactic comes from this post: https://fm-arena.com/thread/19886-deadly-spike-v4/   

A Huge Thanks to CBP87, all the credit from this tactic should go to him, all i have done is add a striker and tweak a few instructions; this is mostly his work, and he should get all the credit.
