And finally i manage to combine Arsenal, Chelsea, and united style of play. Arsenal and united are good at attacking, while i choose chelsea for defense. Been trying this tactic with arsenal chelski, united, and currently plymouth. So far so good for my plymouth side, even i manage to beat liverpool 4-2 and arsenal 2-1. Well, anyway about the tactic: Arsenal_United Attacking This tactic is mainly focus on pin-point passes and through balls. 3 player who are the most important part for this tactic, and they are:  1. Striker The blue one, this is henry's job. He will receive a through pass from the midfielder, and then take the ball direct to the goal until he only face the gk. I recommend you to put a striker with high creativity, dribbling, pace, and composure so its easier for him to score as he will face the gk in one on one. And the second striker job is to take the rebound and score the goal.  2. Midfield Playmaker The red one, another creative player. Carrick/fabregas does it. This is the source of your attack. Dictates the game, and often do through ball passes. The playmaker needs a high creativity, passing ability, and technical. 3. Wingers Two wingers needed for this tactic. They will dribble pass the opponent and give a through ball to the strikers. They won't do too much crossing. The wingers need to have a high dribbling, pace, technique, and passing. Note: You can use this tactic either with counter attack or not (I usually use) Arsenal_Chelsea Defensive Lets say you already have 3 points in your hand and you want to maintain it. This tactic plays more defensively and often do the time wasting. The most important part of this tactic: 1. 3 Midfielder In chelsea, they are ballack, lampard and essien. The center mid is a playmaker. In this tactic, the playmaker will oftenly do a longshots, which will help for wasting time (in my opinion). The two other midfielder will support both attack and defense, so they must have good work rate and stamina. 2. Defensive Midfielder Very defensive minded with full closing down. He will prevent the opposition attacker to get to defensive line. Stamina, tackling, and work rate are highly needed for him. So far, these tactic are good for me. Gonna post some screenies soon. Anyway, you have to REMEMBER that these tactic are not miracle or cheat tactic or something like that. I can't guarantee you will have 38 winning streak in league. If you wish, please leave some feedback or suggestion. Thanks. 3 in 1 combined tactics.rar Last edited by deepsnowz; 02-12-06 at 03:46 PM. | | | | | | The Following 8 Users Say Thank You to deepsnowz For This Useful Post: | | 03-12-06, 01:57 PM | #2 (permalink) | | FMF Scout Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Wolverhampton, West Mids Posts: 43 Thanks: 5 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | Good tactic,second in championship on a 11 game unbeaten streak, 7 of those wins, maybe you could edit the tactic abit to have more play makers, especially down the wings, All the best Jack | | | | | 03-12-06, 02:01 PM | #3 (permalink) | | FMF Scout Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Wolverhampton, West Mids Posts: 43 Thanks: 5 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | Thats for both tactics | | | | | 05-12-06, 11:45 AM | #4 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 25 Thanks: 1 Thanked 2 Times in 0 Posts | Thanks mate.

Do you need to make any tweaks to the tactic, so to accommodate different players attributes? The reason I ask these questions is that I have used this tactic for Tottenham, though only for the first 3 games of the season and noticed some small things: v Blackburn, Away, 2-0 win - Everyone’s condition was down between 65 - 75 after only 65 minutes. Is this down to the tactic being attacking? v Watford, Home, 3-1 win - More shots on goal and more possession than against Blackburn, but took a long time to get going (80th minute to be precise), unlike the first game were we on top for a large proportion of the game, so is this down to Watford's formation or the tactic? v Reading, Away, 0-3 loss - Again never got going, totally outplayed and created less chances than the last two games and ratings were 6 and below, as you would expect for a dire performance, so was this down to the tactic or the way Reading set up against me? As, I believe in giving all new tactics at least 10-15 games to see if they work, you can understand my questions at the start of the reply, so any help and advice would be welcome.

Stu Boy72 :pray2: | Okay, You can use the attacking tactic for both away and home. Depend on the opponent you face. I do use the attacking tac on both away and home match, but it depends on the opponent to face. If it's a tough one, I'll use the attacking tac only to get 1 or 2 goals. But if things going wrong, I'll just change to the defensive one to prevent the worst. The attacking tac means to be attacking. If your player's condition is getting worse, just change it to the defensive tac. That problem also occured in my team, but after a few weeks they get used on the way we play. Hope this could be useful for you. If you have any comment or suggestion or even advice, I would love to hear from you. ______________________ Last edited by deepsnowz; 04-02-07 at 03:49 AM. | | | | | 04-02-07, 03:54 PM | #13 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 3 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | will give them a go with wba and leave comments | | | | | 05-02-07, 12:07 PM | #14 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Jan 2007 Posts: 15 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post | Thanks for the advice regarding the tactic. I have to admit when I posted my original reply I implemented the tactic during the course of the season, which is never a good idea, I know and I was proved right. So, I have taken the stance of trying to find the best tactic for Tottenham, before starting up any new game (one where I don't switch it off, because of injuries, bad results etc.) and testing it first, by just running the Premier League. I feel by doing this I will be only spending a short space of time testing each tactic over a 30 game period, which includes friendly’s, league and cup games. In doing this I believe I will get a fair assessment if a tactic is going to work well or not. Now, I have done just that with this tactic and am nearly at the end of the assessment period, so when I complete this I will post up the results. I will try to include screen shots, along with any suggestions.

Anyway, as i said in my last post i have started a new game to give this tactic a fair chance. So, after playing in total 33 games the results were very good. During Pre Season i played a total of 11 games winning 9, drawing 1 and losing 1, so i was confident that the full season would produce the same sort of performance and results. However, in true FM2007 style the game bite back and i endured a 2-0 home defeat to Middlesboro, which was extremely frustrating. This gave me no confidence for away game to West Ham, as i always seem to struggle against them. However, we got a great 2-0 victory. This was really the start of a good run of results, which came to an end away to Bolton 2-1. The final games of this test brought a further tow defeats, both away to Fulham in the Carling Cup and to Man City in the League. My final league position after this test was completed, i had managed to secure Tottenham a very creditable 2nd in the Premier League only 2 points behind Arsenal. The good points about this tactic was that team kept on attacking for 90 minutes, which in most games meant we were getting a draw or going on to win. This was most notably against the big four who i have never had any joy against in the first season. I can proudly say we never lost to any them, managing the best result, which was beating Arsenal 3-2 at home after almost throwing away a 2-0 lead. The bad points, where we were to often conceding the first goal and chasing games, but as i said the tactic over comes this by attacking for the full 90 minutes. Overall i enjoyed using this tactic and will use it when starting a new game, however, i feel some tweaks are needed to change some of the defensive settings to stop the early goal being conceded. In addition to the above i may try starting with the defensive tactic say for the first 20 minutes, to try and combat the conceding of the early goal, if this works then great, if not then i will do the above and change the denfensive settings of the attacking tactic. If this proves successful i will let you know of the results. | | | | | 09-02-07, 08:01 AM | #16 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 1 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | good, any tips for championship teams good tactic alrite look forward to using it on my sunderland team in my 1st season but leaking a few goals in defence. anyone know of good defenders for cheap and a good tactic that i can use with sunderland | | | | | 09-02-07, 09:29 PM | #17 (permalink) | | Used In Squad Rotation Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Galway, Ireland. Posts: 273 Thanks: 19 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | Mate I would bow down and kiss your feet except I'm not a gay and I don't do that lmao. This tactic is a peace of magic, ok it isn't that great but is perfect for Liverpool so far. Got Palacio to play the Henry position and he scored 5 goals on his debut, it brought the best out of the team and it goes well with Tug's training. Carra and Agger were having a bad day but it didn't matter because the tactic worked beautifully in an 8-0 trashing over Djurgarden. Well done mate keep it up. | | | | 15-02-07, 09:23 AM | #18 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 25 Thanks: 1 Thanked 2 Times in 0 Posts | Thz for every comment and suggestion guys. | | | | | 19-02-07, 05:24 PM | #19 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 2 Thanks: 1 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | Gonna give this ago tonight with Sheff Weds will let thee know how I get on ! | | | | | 20-02-07, 11:16 AM | #20 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 1 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts | just gave tihs a go just to see if its any good and yes i agree its amazing,had a little look before using it and i have to say its impressive but if you put the team marking to man marking its even better i let man city have 4 shots all game and i ended up winning 5-0, the key to the game actually bieng the runs of strikers and wingers coming in off the flanks,i have a very good tactics of my own that i am 23 games unbeaten with and very simular but i use a target man next to the fast striker like henry but dont have my wingers coming in but having them come in realy overloads the deffence and i have about 6 players agenst 4 of theres at one time,you can see y the tactic is so good. thanx alot im going to use my tactic but us your idea of wingers coming in to give more options,very very impressive | | | | |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
