Hi FM17 brothers,

I am not too sure how many of you still actively plays the game. For me, I still do at least a few games whenever I am back from work not tired and play couple of hours at least if I am not out during my off.

It's been a while since I got this excited for a tactic and a Normal tactic at least.
It seems a very decent 4-3-2-1 tactic at a first look. A CF leading the lines, 2 IF on the wings, an attacking AMC dangerman. In the Mids there's a supporting box to box Mid and a defensive deep lying playmaker. In defence there's 2 ball playing centre backs and on 2 inverted wingbacks on support role.

I had just started a new Liverpool game a week ago and was using a strikerless system which reviews says good but I didn't quite like it. Yes I had won the first four games which I felt defence wasn't so stable. I came across this tactic and heck, it suits lfc players and I plug and played it. There's 3 versions of it, the standard home, counter away and waste time contain.

First game against Man City away I drew 0-0 but I saw how the tactic works and liked what I saw. Match stats similar shots but double target and had 3 ccc. Next was West Brom, won 3-1, 28 shots, 15 on target, 1ccc. Both I used the away counter as they were away games. Third game was an EFL game with sunderland at home and I decided to use my second team which includes a few first teamer which I had on Subs since I started. I forgot to switch to the standard home for this but I won 3-0, 13 shots 7 on target 2 ccc. I thought to myself well for away counter its a decent tactic.

BUT It was the next 2 games that got me excited. I switched to Standard Home. My next 2 home games was against Chelsea and Arsenal.
The Chelsea result was 6-1 with their goal made by a silly Milner backpass mistake. I had 25 shots, 13 on target and 7 ccc. Coutinho had a hattrick.
The Arsenal result was 7-1 with their penalty again given by a Milner mistake.
I had 23 shots, 15 on target and 5 ccc and Sturridge had a hattrick.

It's not everyday that you can beat Chelsea and Arsenal with such score lines even at Home and my tactic isn't even half fluid. This is why I am excited.

I am gonna try using Standard Home against most teams at away games to see what sort of impact I am getting. Reviews from fmbase shows that this set of tactics works even for LLM teams so I think most of you can use it.

I'm still playing haha but slower now... also since the thread moved from edmw, it's really quiet here. Casual players don't come here often, at edmw it gets attention much easily :/

Quite true. I am playing slow too but this tactic is making it more fun and easier to breeze through the games.

One of the better post 17.3.1 tactics to date me thinks.

You tried it yet?

Your results make the tactic look extremely imbalance!

Hahah but I'm not the plug and play kind of player :/ maybe I'll copy abit of the tactic but I nvr much prefer to play this way. I'm actually following Rashidi's guide on fm! Quite cool the way he describes his stuffs. Got one section talks about super systems that suppose to use 1 tactic entire season just changing mentality and shouts. Makes the game more enjoyable for me hahaha.

Side note, quite sad in my current game play. Bought Mateo kovaic for 24m and he was performing so well. Barcelona came and triggered his release clause for 55m and he went. I broke the English record when I paid 100m for dele alli. Think I will fail my fpp. Lol

My butland eventually signed a contract extension hahaha. I have a PA 200 goalkeeper coming through the ranks but think it will take at least 3 or 4 seasons to develop him to a certain level. Meantime, butland should be sufficient.

Marcos Acuna, this guy I want to give him contract extension. Even though he happy with the terms and sign , his WP failed. When he first came it got approved but now extension fail. What's more stupid ? He got upset with me cos his WP failed. As if I can do anything like that lol. 3 more months and he can leave for free.

Oh ya, I also letting Shaqiri go. Doesn't fit into my play style lol

I enjoy every single fm versions so difficult to say if it's the best or not. And yes, facepqcks and club logos still needs to be downloaded seperately.
