Strikerless contains my ramblings, rants and musings regarding Football Manager. They will focus on my unconditional love for strikerless formations, but the subject might vary, depending on my interests at the time of writing.
The blog has become sort of my magnum opus on how I play FM, both in terms of tactics as well as strategies on scouting and the transfer market.
Since starting Strikerless, I have found my own little niche market by focussing my efforts towards gameplay strategies, in-game tactical advice and in general ways to fuck up the match engine and exploit the hell out of whatever loopholes I manage to uncover. People seem to like it.

Why strikerless?

Why not? 😉 On a more serious note, I just like the style of football it produces.

You’ve written some really interesting stuff here. Had fun reading it?
Just FM or real life too?

It’s mostly just FM stuff 🙂

Have you thought about perhaps making your saves into like a story?
StrikerlessGuido · February 21, 2016 at 9:28 pm
I have, but I am afraid I am not a compelling story teller 🙂

Hi! I am deeply in love with your writing and especially your central wingers. I have been playing around with creating strikerless tactics for a couple games now, and I wondered if there is any way I could send my current tactic to you? If it interests you, that it.

Do you have anything for playing against bigger teams? I have a decent possession based tactic with fulham but I always get smashed by big teams, or even anyone away? do you have something for playing away?

Trying to get in touch. Don’t know if you caught wind of the twitter today. I was labeled a Strikerless “Pioneer”. Someone has pointed me in your direction and said we should chat and compare notes. Haven’t seen your stuff before, and was planning on giving it a shot, but I’d love to compare notes on twitter or e-mail. You can find me at stickpiano on twitter if you are interested!
