If you visit the CM forum or part of the CM scene, you will know all about my tactics.

I have played 3 matches. And I have lost 3. I don't understand. The first match I used a 3-5-2, second and third a 4-4-2. Nothing works. My whole league plays a 4-4-2. I thought of a 3-4-3 to try and counter this by use wings, aggressive, and offensive.

Cheers for the help lads.

try short passin normal or aggressive tackling and attacking play then look at the top teams tactics
:)

There has to be more to it than that.

Maybe I am trying to hard. :(

How quick are your strikers? Take a look at my match from this morning, club name: Corinthians FC (84924). I beat a 4-4-2 with a 4-4-2 by a score of 5-0.

Erm.

West Ham United (117320)

You should be able to see my team stats right? :D


Info: The team has lost 4 league games in a row.


Bloody hell. Manager Zone is realistic lol.

no we can't see your stats.

Try keeping your tactic centralised (although this bug was supposed to have been fixed I still don't have much luck with wingers) and also with the current simulator you only seem to need 2 defenders so play with extra strikers to try and get more goals. Try tactics out in friendlies (you should play 2 every day) so you know what is best for the league games. Once you've found a tactic that works, stick with it.

Hope that helps.

Well If I use say a:

FLC FC FRC

MLC MC MRC
DMC
DLC DC DRC
GK


Then surely if I came up against an offensive 4-4-2 who used their wings, then I would be screwed?

How is this?

try making your midfield into more of a square shape in the centre with no-one further wide than the sides of the penalty areas if you understand what I mean.

Like this?

That looks better already...your players need a bit of training, and they should be set.

They are.

However, do I build up on their weaknesses or build upon their strengths.

I.E, My striker has 1 pace, but 5 shooting, do I build upon pace or shooting. My defender has 2 ball control, but 6 tackling, which do I stick him one etc

It depends really what you want. If you want a good all round player then concentrate on their weaknesses. However I always try to make them better at what they are already good at.

Does your method work?

He's currently first in the Premiership, so I would say it works :PO

Excellent. Seeing as I am a newbie to this, well, 3 weeks is still new IMO, fancy writing a "Dummies guide to Manager Zone"? :D
Anything else I should know?

The dummy guide should be coming to the site in a week or two :) Atleast me and Ash will be preparing it until then :)

Blue

LoL. Really? I was only kidding. :D

Oh well...it will still be coming, for you and all the others that need help :)

Guys. I fookin love you.

I was bottom of the table, at home to Hiltingbury who were second. I just loaded MZ up. I thrased them 6-0. Fookin marvellous!

(Y) Love it! (H) :mrpimp: :hump: :rockman:

Wow. Go Gareth.

I see my side as a sort of Sunderland. They really suck!

Well I have doubles all this week. 10 games in the next 5 days. I'll see how I do. :rockman:

Actually, I should correct my earlier statement.

I just hammered some 11 year old.

Work Geordies 4-1 Other lot

Cue a first half hat-trick, a last minute consellation goal and pitch invasion (probably).

2 points above the drop zone and on a 4 match unbeaten run.

Suddenly, I feel chuffed to have ditched 4-4-2. Nice Liverpool tactics that actually work, too.

well i dont know if i can help but my team hasnt lost a league game the whole season and i play a 5-3-2
