Let me first give you a little introduction of myself. My real name is Gunner but since i was little i have been called Gonzo. I have played Fm since i was 10 years old. The very first tactic that i made was a 4-4-2 formation. I am a big Liverpool fan and my lucky number is eleven. Since i first started to watch and play football it has turned in to a passion for me. I have never started my own thread but i made a tweak tactic on the Arrigo Sacchi's Tweak thread.
Tactic
![]()
It is a classic 4-4-2 with a attacking mentality and Quick tempo. The defence is very solid. Also the striker make a lot of assists for each other. My strikers scored 54 goals and made 34 assists in the league. My midfielders are instructed mixed passing and holding up the ball so they pass forward to create a attacking danger. The left striker is more attacking but they both score goals and create assists. The left striker scored a bit more for me. The midfielders help a bit to protect the back four. I play with a narrow width so the ball often end up to the midfielders that can both pass to the wingers or to the strikers. Roles
As this is a classic tactic there are no roles to pick only player instructions. So let me demonstrate on how they work and play so you can be aware of that.Goalkeeper- He is just a basic keeper. He plays risk free football and takes no chances. No sweeper keeper here.
Defenders- They play as well as the goalkeeper a very safe football. They still make passes to maintain possession and not lose it. As i play with high defensive line they need to be quick.
Full Backs- They are more of supporting kind of Full Backs. I have instructed them to make forwards (run from deep) often so that they can help out the wingers.
Midfielders- They are the playmakers of the team. They are the creators of the attacking threat that this tactic offers. They are the vision of your team. They will control the ball and pass it further up the pitch.
Wingers- They are very hardworking wingers. They will both make through balls and cross the ball. I have instructed them to make more through balls so that they pass into space and the striker will receive the ball and they make almost every time a clear cut chance for the strikers.
Strikers- They are your goalscorers obviously. They will receive the ball and both score and create goals for each other. They have the freedom to move from there position to receive a through ball.
