Tactical Reviews; A New Format

Published by Guido on

Our last tactical review dates back to 2015 which is a bloody outrage. The concept is still strong, but the delivery is perhaps ready for a new approach. This is where my good friend Matthias (@DerFManager) comes in. We’re going to try a video format now. Both of us have prepared our scalpels and wits, and we dissected the craziest tactic we could find as a warm-up. Give the video a look, like it and share it if you like what you see, let us know your feedback when you don’t, and feel free to suggest other tactics for us to review in the future.

Great video guys! apparently you’d fixed a little that uttely suicidal tactic.

Nowadays i’m in love with the Cruyff’s Ajax approach of Ö-zil to the Arsenal! (stunning football mind):https://community.sigames.com/topic/372887-johan-cruyffs-3-4-3-diamond-very-fluid/

It would be nice to hear your opinion about that tactic and if you’ll make any tweak on it.

Cheers! keep going buddies! ;D

TLDR; Download-links

I have debated whether or not to post this article. Should I offer a downloadable version of my tactics, just for people to generally ignore why they work in a specific way and complain to yours truly about their perceived lack of progress or success? Ultimately, there is no right or wrong way to approach things with FM. If you're getting more success from downloadable tactics and that feels fulfilling enough, then crack on. This article contains links to the latest formation of my "Riders (on the storm)" series of tactics, using both a deep and middle block in defence.

A Tactical Roadmap To Evolution

As my tactics setup evolved and developed, I noticed my build-up from the back was far too easily disrupted by high-intensity pressing sides. They targeted my deep-lying playmaker and, at times, my ball-playing defender. Players Read more…

Set Pieces

My Throw-In Setups For FM23

Set pieces in football, and thus in Football Manager, have received much attention and study. But what about the innocuous throw-in? Apart from when a team develops a long throw-in programme (see Delap, Rory, or last year’s trebuchet-styled throw-ins), it is largely ignored. This doesn’t do the humble throw-in justice, as they are essential to your Football Manager game. Just throwing the ball somewhere willy-nilly not only robs you of a potential goalscoring opportunity (depending on your location, of course), but it also increases your risk of losing the ball and ending up on the wrong side of a devastating counter-attack. So again, throw-ins are far more important than you might think.
