How to Create Your Own Tactic

3yr old video but thanks for the instirctions thing lol, needed to hear that. the tempo thing too jfc

Hey Z. Sorry I know this video came out a while ago but I was struggling with something. I've taken the reins at Worthing in VNS, and we aren't particularly strong or good in the air. In fact while one of our CBs (the captain) is a slow brick wall and an aerial presence, his partner is 5'11" with good marking/tackling/positioning and pace/stamina but only 5 jumping reach and strength lol. I went over my team's strengths and weaknesses compared to other teams in the league and our only standouts are passing (including vision from defence), marking and tackling (especially in midfield), good pace at the back but less in midfield, and fortunately good teamwork and workrate across the board.

With the physical discrepancy between our two CBs, would you say a deeper or higher defensive line is suitable? I wanted to play a compact counter-attacking style mostly on the ground, but because arguably our standout strength is passing, I'm not sure if that means we should look to dominate the ball against bus parkers or if we should try to play risky passes a lot. It's tough to decide on more direct passing or simply higher tempo too, as I don't want high balls hoofed from my 3 vision 5'11" CB into my technically gifted 5'8" advanced forward lol. I did sign a strong target forward but can't get along with 442 and we don't have wingers good at crossing anyway. They're more pacey, flair IW types. My tactic is apparently working as we're top of the table after 30 games, but it might be a different story if I get to VNL and find myself getting pinned back defending in most games. Mr 5'11" might then only cut it as a cover duty CB in a trio of CBs. Thanks for any feedback you might have.

I’ve been playing this game since Steve bull and still so shit

this is only two years ago but you look 13.

Nice that I could take a Vietnamese Subtitle as a German here. 🤣

how do i hire a coach when I've created my own tactics

Setting up a tactic is a combination of the follwing: How does the opposition play? What competition you're in - league, cup, champions, friendly, etc? What players are available? Who are you playing (weak or strong team)? What is your training? What's your player development philosophy, or do you ruthlessly play the best?

Zeeland is God. The god. Jesus and the holy spirit are jealous

Dear Zealand, i tryed all of tactic what You show on this video and none of them worked for my Chelsea, i dont know what i m doing wrong, i still cant make my own good tactic...still using tactics from website like fm base from Knap or other lads, sometime they worked sometimes dont..i watch this and other of Your viedos many times and still no good results

As someone managing Flint Town I know why I hate TNS, but why are they so hated that he seems hesitant to use them as an example?

Problem is players how setup for formations..for 4-3-3 must have very good midell and attack..for 3-5-2 you must have 3 cd extra qualitet etc

Is loading a Knapp tactic cheating?

how to intro101... love it <3

I just started a career with the new saints and noticed my tactics is shit so i searched for a tutorial and Holy shit

Mate that is an intro and a half. Legendary

Would love a video for a casual fan who is getting into FM explaining positions and the variances of them. I get a little lost when trying to set up my tactics figuring out the different positions and the sub categories of them and how they work together

i have the best plan noone ever use i won most of games 3 + goals with worst teams in the leagues
and my youth teams win 5+ goals every games
i play with 2 centre backs

hahah « Its always a party» might be the best sales pitch ive heard hahahah/ too-many-years-in-sales

Just made my first tactic lost 7-0 to fulham. I'm bad at this

I think you made a mistake in this video: if you read the overlap instruction it tells you that the player doing the overlapping will be a full back, not the winger. So it makes sense to have Inside forwards and overlapping

YOU "Do not use IWB with overlap instructions, use it with underlaping" (makes sense)

KNAPP "You don't have a bloody clue how to create a plug'n'win ME breaking tactic"

So what about Player Instructions?

Looks like a good video, but my English isn't enough. I do not understand the pronunciations well. It would be nice if it had subtitles @Zeaiand

love you

But isn't a counter attaking transition bumps head to head with a slow tempo short passing?!

You give your fullback the number 9 shirt?!

Bro no one calls Florentino by "Luís". It's either Florentino or Tino

I found the perfect tactic against gegenpressing: 2-4-1-2-1. you need two good defenders for that and two wing backs with good stamina and defence abilities.

what was the music in the opening, goosepumps.

Man, with Thiago at Liverpool now, I'll only play with 2 defenders, namely VVD and Gomez. All the rest are on support and attack roles lol.

I always thought Tempo almost means Urgency in the tactics. How urgently they will try to attack. Slower tempo is more controlled and patient.

Thanks for my new tactic m8

When do you stream? Like what time in your region

Make a tactic? What’s wrong with 4231 gegenpress?

u know zagadu can play left back

thank you

Come on mannnn amazing videos but what about Subtitles???!!!!

Man his voice god dam

You have got two Persian guys in your BATE team. Interesting!

Subbed. I used to play a LOT of Championship and Football manager, but not for a few years. Due to your videos I may pick it up again!

4-2-3-1 Gegenpress. Tactic done.

I still don't understand what roles to give my players, what style of football to play (Attacking, Positive, Balanced) what width etc.
The Team Report for me doesn't give me any idea how to set up a tactic. For example, this isn't the best squad in terms of vision. What does that tell me about how I should set up my tactic? I just don't understand.
Then you say that you should try to limit the areas of red on the pitch, then show your tactic with large areas of red on the pitch? I'm still not sure how you know that that won't/doesn't matter?

big brain time, thank u

This is not my experience. I play FM18 right now and I always playe 4-2-3-1 and always perform well, no matter topteam or bad team. I also add the same instructions.

why is Megamind talking about football manager tactics for 20 minutes?

rate Hlozek 1-10

The hardest part of making tactics is....signing good enough player with 1.2M budget on skybet championship
