From here both central midfielders are asked to get forward also creating an overload.Īs the inside forwards cut inside I have complete wing backs instructed to overlap recreating width and offering another passing option. I use a false nine to draw defenders out of position, he will drop deep to accept the ball and leave gaps for my inside forwards to exploit. The ‘V’ that creates my stability above allows us to achieve what you see below when we are around the opposition box. From this foundation the wing backs can bomb on and both central midfielders can attack. In this system my central defenders and half back are vital, they almost always sit in and hold the fort leaving more creative players to do their thing. How you achieve this is the million dollar question. Tactics are all about balance, you need numbers in attack without being short at the back. For analysis I am using Manchester United, purely because of player suitability and the fact you can all relate to the players, their strengths and weaknesses. For this purpose we will use my 4-1-2-3 seen below. Today I would like to share how I create tactics, this is a broad subject and not possible to cover and understand in one post, so I need subject matter. I have this at the forefront of every Football Manager tactic I create as there is little point in creating a system using three forwards if I have fantastic wingers for example. Now there is a real focus on ‘player roles’, you need the right players in the right roles to succeed.

The community used to be writhe with varying tactical systems that would win you anything with anyone. Since sliders were scrapped ‘beating the match engine’ has become a rarity. Now we see terminology-based instructions and the game has a real world feel to it. Football Manager tactics have come a long way, the old slider system which enabled us to tinker with every inch of a system has gone.

Football Manager changed more than just its name since it’s initial release in 1992.
