Hello, it's me again. That weird guy who likes to recreate real life football tactics in Football Manager and gets ignored because people prefer game breaking tactics instead :P But on a serious note, Fergie's Premier League & Champions League winning side of 2007/08 has been requested a lot and it's finally here. If you want to see my other tactical recreations, click on my fm-base profile and check out my other threads started or hop on to my YouTube channel from the vied above and find them on my channel!

So, wide play, speed, crosses... to cut a long story short, your team will play some phenomenal counter-attacking football at blistering pace with the right players that very closely mimics the Manchester United side of 07/08. It is worth mentioning that Fergie used to drop the DLF (Rooney) in to midfield to create more of a 4-2-3-1 in Europe or in difficult Premier League games, so that's up to you to do by fiddling about with the blue print I've given you.

Evra is the left wing back, whilst Jones closely mimics Wes Brown much better - a center back who can also play at right back and provide balance to the team defensively. Your DLP is Carrick, your CM is Scholes and Pogba is a perfect player in this role as he will score long shots (I believe he has 18 long shots) for fun like Scholes used to love. Your IF is your Ronaldo, and your WM is your Giggs. Now in real life, Fergie used to swap these around and resultantly modify their roles a little bit depending on their opposition or sometimes we'd see the likes of Park, Hargreaves or Nani being used out wide instead. This is all modifiable by you as you manage your team. Regardless, with the default settings, both wide players will occasionally swap sides to make them more difficult to man mark. Your DLF is Rooney who used to drop in to midfield and your CF is your Tevez. In this case, Ibrahimovic worked really well as he probably offered a bit more in the air than Tevez did, making him a perfect advocate for this direct counter-attacking approach.

The test below as always was just plug and play without much thought, not dealing with morale, holidaying between matches etc. So, I'm sure you'll achieve even better results.

The Team Instructions

The Player Instructions
GK - None
WBL – None
FBR – Hold Position, Fewer Risky Passes
CBR – Mark Tighter, Pass It Shorter
CBL – Mark Tighter
DLP – Mark Tighter, Tackle Harder
CM – More Direct Passes, More Risky Passes (Scholes)
IF – Close Down More, Mark Tighter, Roam From Position
WM – Roam From Position, Cross More Often
DLF – Shoot Less Often, Roam From Position, Move In To Channels
CF - None

The Opposition Instructions
None

The Training Regime
Match Tactics until 100% familiarity, then Defensive Positioning... or make it Attacking if you really want to mimic Fergie.

The Results
Some decent results against good teams but dodgy towards the end due to not dealing with player unhappiness, fitness, holidaying between matches etc & managing properly. Also recommend considering dropping back the DLF in to midfield like Fergie used to do in Europe against the top teams which isn't something I did when testing. These results as usual, just key highlights on full speed without much thought or management, so hopefully you should do much better.

Free kick specialists?

Just wondering who you guys have found to be the best free kick specialists for 17.For me it has been dani parejo,in my first season with valencia he has scored at least six or seven free kicks from 30 yards..

English Right Back

Has anyone found a decent English right wingback from re gens I'm in 2023 season now I have allready got trent Alexander and he is decent but need another English right back can't find any young talent in my under squads or any other English clubs any ideas of maybe how to scout one or know any

work permit not extended. Player in last year of contract

The year is 2020. It is midseason and I've just taken Derby County to the Premiership by winning the Sky Championship title.

My top scorer was Serbian striker Ognjen Ozegovic (25 years old) scoring 20 goals in 37 appearances. Somewhere at the end of the season I was told that his workpermit was denied and that his current one would run out together with this contract in 2021. So he only has one year on his contract left and only earns 10000 a week which isn't very much for a premier league striker and I've already been advised to renew his contract.

I'd love to do that and if he does well in the premier league it may well be inevitable. Still giving him a new contract presents a serious risc.

So I wonder if any of you could give me any advice on how to deal with this. He wants a non negotiable four year contract with a starting wage of around 35.000 to 40.000 pounds/week. I'm prepared to give him 40.000 if he agrees to a 25 percent drop in wage if I go down this year. Still it's a risc and I might end up paying his salary for 3 years where he can't play. what would you do?Image may be NSFW.

NO OIs

NOTES

This tactic is not fully Plug&Play. You have 3 versions here, so use as below:

-
Control version: Starting tactic for all home games.
-
Standard version: Starting tactic for away games against weaker or even opponents.
-
Counter version: Use against stronger teams away.

Of course, while you are monitoring the stats during the games (of course you do :P) you should change the tactics as needed. When you are a man down, remove the AF.



Training


General training is Fittness - High in the first 2 weeks of pre season and then Team Cohesion - High until the end of August, Balanced - Medium afterwards. Match preparation (bar fully on the left) is Match Tactics until it gets fully fluid, defensive positioning afterwards (set the bar 2 ticks from the left).



Download the filters here ==> Player search filters


The basic value for the most important player attributes is set to 13, but you should definitely modify it based on the level of the league you are in. If there are too few players matching the filter who are interested in joining your team, you should set the matching rules to 5/7 or 6/8 etc.


Tested with my
custom Burnley team and Villareal (had to do 2 transfers here)

So i decided to try out this style on a FM game for the first time and i really need people's opinion on this style (Looks good or bad ?) Really need some feedback from you guys for this to continue.

If you guys aren't familiar with this style, this is from Fifa the console game and it is based of the TOTW inform style cards.

Incredible potential, great personality & developing fast but a 5ft9 CB with a jumping stat of 3 is not going to cut it for me.

Stamina, dribbling& crossing aren't really good enough for him to make a FB & I like my ball-winning-mid to be good at winning balls in the air as it's incredibly effective in this version of FM for cutting out quick counters.

Should I just develop with a view to sell?

Can't become the national head coach of New Zealand?

I would like to become the national head coach of New Zealand, but somehow can't? I have editor enabled in my save and I sacked the current head coach to open up the position. Although there was no national manager, I couldn't apply for the job? Is New Zealand disabled? Or has the tab to apply for a national job changed to somewhere else?

Any suggestions welcome!

Getting the most out of Advanced Playmaker (Coutinho)

I'm having some difficulty getting the most out of my CM playmaker, Coutinho. Hoping someone may be able to help!

I had some initial success with him as a CM-A as that role gets him into the box frequently but his best attributes (dribbling & vision) are almost completely wasted in that role as after watching back some games in full I saw he really only plays simple forward lay-offs when he receives the ball (even with the "dribble more" instruction).

Next I tried AP-A in the CM position & it got him on the ball much more but the expense of spending any time in the box. He now frustratingly lingers on the edge of the box when we push forward. This is a big issue in my tactic as most of my goals are scored from having multiple CMs/IFs making runs into the box at the same time making it virtually impossible for the defence to pick up all of them.

Here is my tactic currently:

Here are two good examples of what is going wrong with the AP-A role (from the same game):

Just off-screen, Clyne has beaten his man & plays a beautiful ball forward. Keita in the CM-A role has charged forward and picks it up. Look where Coutinho is in this shot.

As he has the "shoot less" instruction and runners to his left, Keita choses not to shoot under pressure but takes the ball to the byline & fires it across the 6-yard line for an easy, tap-in. Coutinho should be either at the back post or around the penalty spot but is still 10 ft away from the box. That's where Keita would be if this ball was coming in from the left.

Look how deep Coutinho is there compared to the CM-A Keita. He offers an easy passing option but my players seldom take that, instead always looking to move forward as fast as possible.

The FB Hernandez makes a neat cross over to Keita who has found space in an aggressive position.

Keita lays the ball off onto Berardi's stronger shooting foot, boom. Goal.

Coutinho offered nothing there in two of my 3 goals scored because his positioning was all wrong. Bizarrely he did manage to get POM but I think this was because his passing accuracy was very high & he scored a good long-shot but for large portions of my counter attacking play he wasn't relevant.

Any ideas about how I can get him to utilise his dribbling/vision more when he is in possession but still instruct him to charge into the box as Keita does when off the ball?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Team training would be tactics until its fluid and then balanced, match training would be attacking movement for home matches and defensive movement for away matches.

Good luck

Which player should I sign?

3rd season with Saints

I've just finished 6th, I also won the Carling Cup so I have Europa League football this season. I play a 4-2-3-1 formation, My budget is £60M and £300K in wages to use.

I have a good squad, I just feel like I need to replace a few fringe players with abit of quality to take me to the next level.

What I need....

CB- Left sided CB, Hoedt is class but the big teams are sniffing around him. Cahill is back up but he wants to leave so I need a replacement.

RB- Yann Valery has become my first choice CB, the kid is top class. Cedric struggled last season, I feel its time to replace him.

AMR- I need a top class Inside Forward.

ST- kolberg is my main ST, Austin and Long will be going so I need another ST.

4-1-2-3 deffens (EPL CC FA CUP Tottenham)

My Idea is to choke out the opponent, not to let them have any room to go to on the pitch and to keep possession until we reach the box, cover the entire field and dominate the play. For the team to go into space when in possession and to stay where they are without possession intercepting any passing lanes.

I just wanted some tips on any discrepancy If an instruction does not work well with another or if there are some adjustments to be made.
