Man Utd 45 Minute Wonder 442 Tactic!!

[mesce]

Well, I spent 45 minutes trying to perfect a tactic, using theorums and frameworks from sigames forums.

UPDATE: FOR VERSION 2.0 OF THIS TACTIC FOR PATCH 9.20 FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW

http://www.thedugout.tv/community/sh...41#post2142341

Important: This is a tactic that is for a team that has good technical players and will get your superstars to play. If you are Hull or a mid-lower division team, using this tactic might not be in your best interests. If you are a team with good players and would usually be on top in a game IRL, this tactic is for you.

|EDIT: Make sure you pick a big pitch when your groundsman asks for pitch alterations. Also, when playing away, take a look at the oppositions pitch, if it is a small pitch (congested), Take the width down to 1 notch below half and put the TEMPO on full!

NEW Tactic TIPS!
If the team you are playing have a pitch width of 68m or below, then bring the width down to 1 notch below half and but 3 more notched on the tempo.

Opposition Instructions: This is what I do, Midfielders to Attackers, including Wingbacks. I do everything to them, weaker foot, harder tackles and closing down always and tight marking. I do this for players on the bench also! For the defenders and goalkeeper, MAKE sure you put closing down as always, depending on who you are playing, you might want to show the right back and left back onto weaker foot, incase you play chelsea and they overlap with a cross ball.

Second Season Complete
With many thanks to my tactic, I have won everything, except the Charity Shield, LOL

By the way, I cannot stress enough how important a player in the team is that has 20 for free-kicks!

Super Cup
World Club Championship
FA Cup
Carling Cup
Champions League
English Premier League

Below shows the Final standings and Manager overview and team selection. It seems I can pretty much buy anyone I wish, Fabregas would come to me now, Messi even! Steven Gerrard is a no go though, he just hates us too much.







Old1st Season UPDATE: Well, with my 45 minute wonder tactic, throughout the firstseason at Man Utd. I have managed to record a historic treble!

To Summarise my trophys:

Premier League
Champions League
FA Cup
European Super cup
World Club Championship
Charity Shield

This tactic is world-class

Here is my final league position, followed by the overview screen, team selection screen and fixture list.











Now I am going to enjoy my success and try and bring Kaka to Man Utd, he is interested just need to sort out a fee
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what I have come up with, a tactic that closely resembles the playing style at Man Utd, with quite a bit of success.

I have professional manager experience on the new user setup, if that is the reason I am getting good results then so be it but here is the tactic.



Above is the team layout. Try and get the most like for like player for each position.

GK: Strong Goalkeeper always essential.
DL: You need a LB that is very good, can distribute the ball or dribble it. The GK is setup to pass it to the LB to start attacks.
DR: A good RB always essential, if your RB is better than your LB, then set the GK to roll/kick the ball out to him instead.
DC: Decent amount of Acceleration and pace, Marking, Tackling, Heading all important stats, as you would make sure its a decent DC
DC: Same as the previous.

MC(d): This is the guy that lies infront of the back 4, giving your defenders an escape route and the bridge to midfield. Strength, passing, tackling, Marking all needed, I would suggest Lassana Diarra or Angelo Polombo if we are talking about perfect stats for this position.
MC(a): This is the midfielder that creates things, he will make sure he gets forward when youhave the ball, hit long rangers but most importantly, be the heartbeat in every attack. Fabregas is perfect for this, Anderson is good and Beckham is immense, just to give you a bit of relation to the stats needed.
MR: Right winger with a free role, beats players, does his own thing, provides assists, make sure you have a good right winger, speed is essential! Dribbling is also a good stats
ML: same as MR really.

SC(d): This is the striker that has a free-role, needs good stats, he will keep your forward supplied with chances. He is a bridge between midfield to Attack, you need to make sure he has good all round stats. Use Rooney as a template, but Strength is essential here as well as Creativity and Passing.

SC(a): The guy that will score your goals, Acceleration is a good stat but can be done with players that don't have great acceleration (like berbatov). Will get good amount of goals.

If your strikers are having a 5, then don't sub them, give them time. The out and out striker might have a 5 until he scores, but he will get chances. OBviously, your the manager, if you want to sub the Striker for someone on the bench that is like for like then do it.

This tactic won't work if your players don't have faith in you as a manager.






I have lost 3 times with this tactic and drawn twice. All these results were away from home and I had a man sent off -> Injured down to 10 men each time. When it has been 11 v 11, I haven't lost a match.

Update:

I am at Christmas time and here is a look at my fixtures so far and league table.

A guy over at sigames forums has said for him using red star it has worked wonders so far

[get yourself up...]

have to say so far so good. since using this tactic i have won my first 3 games including the charity shield. so am very pleased. good work mesce!

[LeroySlimer]

will give it a shot as spurs and report back

[RVallant]

Will also give it a shot.

[mesce]

Thanks for trying the tactic out guys

A lot more people over at Sicommunity are saying wonderful things about it as well as someone over at Pesfan forums which is my local forum they are loving it as well.

Don't forget, the more players you sign, the more have to blend into the squad. When players are blending in and trying to gel, it is said you won't get the best out of your players until the whole team has gelled. Just a heads up

Also if they lose confidence in your ability to manage. Which can happen if you start on semi professional or Amateur or Sunday league, then it also won't work.

[severino]

Really enjoy the flowing real football of your tactic.
Problem is i think the free role striker doesn't work very well, since he seems to get lousy ratings.

I'm trying this tactic on my inter squad. the midfield plays very well, but the free role striker (i've played ibrahimovic, pandev and balotelli) never gets it going.

could it work with the same instructions you use for the attacking striker?
does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm asking only because i don't really know much of how these affect the playing style in fm2009...

thanks man. And keep it up!

[RVallant]

By the way is this formation using the Tactical frameworks and things from WWFan (and Fm-Britain)?

I never got any of their theoretical and "proven" tactics to work, so if you have based it off them you've done for me what they couldn't, produced a consistent tactic.

Basically I won all the friendlies, including a 2-1 victory over Ajax. Nothing too fancy obviously.

Premiership fixtures just started.

Against Blackburn, we stomped ahead 4-0 quite quickly (one missed penalty too) but obviously needs a bit of tightening in the back as we dropped 2 goals 4-2 for full time.

Against Aston Villa - didn't seem to work. Might be the team talk, 2 chances 2 goals though rest of the game didn't even show up in the hightlights, boring to watch I suppose.

So far looks good though(like you, Man Utd is my team), I *might* try it on my Chester game to see how the game handles it at league 2, but we'll see as I'm doing quite well with Chester and don't want to muck things up yet! I'll keep you updated if I do.

Ah, thats because you need a striker that is an (FC) rather than a ST. If a forward is an FC it means they can play a free role as well as an out and out striker.

So I would suggest go and get an FC, to work in the free role striker. It won't work withoutm it im afraid

Yeah it was on WWfans frame works and theorums over at sigames. I had a read and tried to get something working. I didnt agree with everything, but most things I did.

Keep me updated how it goes, in my second season I lost the Charity shield but since then I am unbeaten and drawn only once, with 10 men

[severino]

But i am using an FC (Ibrahimovic or Pandev). Still, it feels as he is underproducing...

[mesce]

Originally Posted by severino

Hmm, I can see your point. I sometimes get poor ratings with Rooney, but if I leave him on the whole match, he usually produces a goal or an assist and gets a 7.

[LeroySlimer]

Great tactic just not sure its the right one for spurs. They are not technical enough. Especially for the longer passes.

Although i did win uefa cup and 3rd in the league. But i only used it for the last 7-8 games

[emresomer]

I used the tactic on Sariyer, a Turkish second division side and it seems that it will work well.

[M2K]

Did the Treble with Liverpool. Great tactic, thanks!

[sasquatch77]

This tactic is working great for me at Hartlepool. Went from 12th at christmas to finish 5th.

[Meldal]

Am managing Rushden & Dimonds.

I was not expecting promotion in first season since i media prediction was 11th place, but i managed to finish 2nd in BSP and only 3 points away from the nr 1 spot. Got promoted after the playoffs

This tactic did me very good, thank you for putting it here.

Only changes i made to the squad when starting was i got 2 players on loan, and now that im in league 2 i have only added a DC and a ST to the squad and i am doing enough to avoid relegation with this tactic.

[tjiube]

Works great with my AZ Alkmaar game , i have a winning streak of 9 at the moment!

[TTGB]

Looking at giving this a go. Which attacker is (d) and which one is (a)??? Right or left? ALso i noticed the strikers swap with each other is this correct? Playing with Man Utd

[rafael]

no offence but this tactic is total bull shit...it screwed up my network game

[BrOxIbEaR]

it's not doing it for me either, and i am man u, might have a go at franky's tactic.

Sounds like much success. I only ever really meant for it to work with big teams, but it is nice to see it working well with lower teams also.

The one with the lower mentality, is the (d) one. They don't swap positions with each other, maybe you have a different tactic or it hasnt downloaded correctly?

Left forward is the A one and you want the guy who can finish to be there. The one on the right is the more footballing of the forwards that can pass and play as a Free-role = fc.

Must be something of your own doing, your the only one.

[Robbo1222]

Don't listen to those idiots calling this tactic bullshit mate. Always sceptical when people post their perfect 'tactic'. Currently using this as Wisla Krakow. Given myself a harder challenge of only using and buying Polish players and despite a severely weakened squad with offloading my better foreign players, only lost 1 in 10 and 4th in Division with this tactic.

Testaments speak for themselves, clearly works for many people with Top teams and Lesser teams also.

Ah, I am happy to see that it is working good for all types of managers. I didn't mean for this to become a "perfect" tactic but the achievments people are having with this tactic with many different teams, do seem to be very positive

Edit: I have fixed the first 4 screenshot thumbnails, when clicked they should lead to a bigger picture of my achievements

[RVallant]

Well, I've had mixed success on getting it to perform. When it works it's fine, Middlesborough are doing my head in at the moment as they've drawn 1-1 with me. *tuts*

Also a defeat to Chelsea 0-1 but I'm not fussed about that, it is after all, Chelsea.

I've decided I have to ask you for team-talk advice as I'm 85% sure that it's the team-talk that is getting in the way of the performances and not the tactic itself. I've deleted the file anyhoo to start a new one, a proper game so to speak.

So I may run with this again, I've got several save files in place so I don't have to do too much running back and forth. The good news though, regardless of teamtalk your tactic saw me beat Schalke and Porto quite easily, whereas other tactics I'm testing have seen me get thumped and I mean proper thumped by them (0-2, 1-3 respectively...)

Hmm, are your players happy with you and/or have you signed anyone and they are blending into the team?

Anyway, matches I think I should easily win, I say to the team, you can win this. The ones when I play Chelsea, Arsenal etc. I say Wish luck. At half time, I either pick you only need one more goal or you can win this.

If you use expect a performance on the attacking forward, they usually get a goal, but this could be a coincendence.

[Adzy_27]

hi mesce,

you stated in your 1st post: "when playing away, take a look at the oppositions pitch, if it is a small pitch (congested), Take the width down to 1 notch below half and put the TEMPO on full!|


in what terms do you call a pitch small and therefore need to do the tweak you said?
i am just about to play portsmouth and there pitch is length -101m, width - 68 would you say that it small?

also can you tell me why you put the tempo to full when doing this tweak, i can understand you lowering the width.

not trying to fault your tactic it seams like its doing well, just want to get it clear what i am supposed to do

keep up the good work!

[mesce]

I shall get to work on that tactic I want it to be as good as this one though.

[DarkStarr]

Well done for creating this tactic.

I absolutely love this version, but its been a bit of a struggle creating a tactic, which was making me not enjoy the game as much as i could.

I've tried all the other tactics, without success, until this one. slowly my team are starting to get used to it, and are still gelling as a team, as i bought a lot of players since my Newcastle take over *man city type spending*

Jonas in particular is thriving. just my last game he took the ball on the half way line and dribbled past 5 players, then slotted the ball into the bottom corner.

I have a request though.... could you take a quick look at my squad, and tell me who you think would be ideal for particular positions, and who wouldn't.
My concern is with my central midfield *attack* and FC and ST

Would Fernandez and Wagner be suitable for the cm position? or could i perhaps drop the defensive midfielder to DM, and push either fernandez or wagner*depending who i play* up to a AMC position? or would this ruin the tactic? i do have 3 natural central midfielders too.


I'm not sure if any of my forwards are suitable for the free role position either. my forwards are........ Owen, Cardozo, Balotelli, Guilherme, Keirrison, and Aquino


My squad

[Adzy_27]

mesce, so with your success with united did you do the away tweak for the small pitch every time?

also can you explain why you put tempo on full?

Matt Smyth - http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g.../MattSmyth.png

From midfield upwards, I would play

AMR - Gutierrez
AML - Di Maria
mc(c) - Veloso/Mascio (for now, train fernandez to MC so that he can play there and make him your first choice then)
mc(d) - Camacho

FC (d) - Guilherme or Keirsson, whoever has a FC means they can play free-role as well POssibly slot MIchael Owen in there as he is suprisingly an FC.

FC(a) - Cardozo, Balotelli, Owen.

On a smaller pitch, that my scout said was significantly smaller. I adjusted it depending on the smallness. If they would say it was narrow, I bring my wide men in and play faster tempo, if it gets congested in the middle, then I made it faster.

On a small pitch, player fast football, there will be less chance for the opponents to read and intercept the passes, also your players won't get tired as quick and with the speed of the tempo being fast, you create more openings. If you are playing on a massive pitch, keep the current tempo as it is or maybe slower it slightly, your players will get more tired faster and you will give balls away more frequently.

[Matteh.]

Thanks for uploading! I recently created a squad called The Badgers FC...
No, the players aren't all on 20 and they are in Blue Square Premier.

Used tactic for 1 game, and was amazed.. I didn't have enough players so I had to call up my whole youth squad and amazingly they beat Hearts 2-0 at home. I will post some more feedback after my frendlies vs. Man utd & Man City reserve squads!

Works a gem so far!

[bopper7]

hey am trying it out on my arsenal team, so far so good.
beat portsmouth away 1-0 but drew away to blackburn

will keep testing

[Miroc]

Working nicely for my Leeds side, although I have tweaked a bit to go a bit more attacking with the defenders, a bit more direct generally and turned down some of the long shots as we didnt have the quality to test the keeper enough.

Also tweaked away from home as it was a bit vulnerable to long ball and counter, so I went a bit more defensive

[AfterD]

Wonder is a good word to describe it. Kicked Atletico's ass with Dinamo Buc. and generally speaking didn't lost a single point since using it.

Ave Magister !

[Robbo1222]

Mesce - This tactic is great. Update to my Wisla Krakow season. Finished 3rd (2 points behind Legia) in my first season (Don't forget I'm only using polish players) and so after total revolution at the club in which all of my better foreign players were shipped out and switching to your tactic, my final record was:

W15, D9, L5. Many of those draws would have been wins with slightly better quality players to add to a threadbare squad stretched by injuries (My squad will be boosted over summer by some handy contract expiry pick ups)!!!

Similarly, losses were tight affairs being beaten by the odd goal and had extensive cup runs and a 10 game unbeaten streak to the end of League.

Next season looks VERY promising.

Yeah, the long shots are something I have thought to turn down myself but sometimes Rooney does hit a 25 yarder out of nowhere and then I like to keep them

Your players will be more used to the tactic as well, the second season is when you will get the best out of it. I am currently 60+ games unbeaten in the EPL

[sinoffire]

tried this tactic with spurs in dec08 onwards. doesnt seems to have any effects on mine. i think it all boils down to the condition of the club at that time as well whereby loads of players are having "slight concern" & "lost faith" in my abilities.

but then again, mesce..does it have any difference if i were to ommit the "Opposition Instructions" or is it a must-do condition??

i was sacked by Levy anyhow. just thought of wanna know more.. will give it a shot again on my adventure with rovers later.

will keep u posted on the updates.

cheers.

PS: On a side note, recommended this tactic of urs to my friend. Here are his results using ManUtd:

ManUtd 1 vs 0 Chelsea
ManUtd 5 vs 0 CF Cluj
Arsenal 1 vs 1 ManUtd
Liverpool 0 vs 3 ManUtd
A.Villa 1 vs 2 ManUtd
ManUtd 4 vs 0 Sporting CP
Newcastle 0 vs 0 ManUtd
ManUtd 2 vs 0 Sunderland
WestHam 1 vs 4 ManUtd

pretty impressive i'd say.
