***THE BETTER HALFS TACTICS & TRAINING CENTER*** Uploads, Discussion & Help Thread

[TheBetterHalf]

I always thought countering needed a fast direct passing tactic, happy to learn tho. I know i suck but still. Getting crushed every game with Aston Villa is almost worthy of praise lol.

Ill try a new game, maybe with a top team this time lol.

This is the setup i used

TM: Agbonlahor/Heskey (agbo got injured for a few months in preseason sigh)
P: Best/Keane

LW: Nzogbia with training to leftmid
RM: Albrighton
BBM: Petrov/Jenas
CM: Ireland also instantly injured so Bannan/Jenas
LB: Warnock
RB: Hutton
DCs: Dunne + Cuellar
Keeper: Given.

For some reason im playing with 12.0.0 i think, need to check it again, i tried updating with steam tho yesterday and it didnt work.

I dont think you are playuing with 12.0.0. The databas will still be 12.0.0 but when you look under ( ingame) FM/game status, you will see that it will say 12.1.1

As for counter attacks, they will be launched quickly. Dont let the tempo fool you as its the tempo used when not launching a counter attack

Well im gonna start again with West Ham, read the stuff about pre/post/during match instructions, hope thatll help with morale at least.

For West Ham would you advise the Man Utd 442? Im not sure if they have the players for that.

Hola, back again. Been looking at more full/extended matches with West Ham its actually going pretty decent (although im still in first 5 league games) Been winning/drawing most so far, but team isnt gelled 100% yet, whats most important is the tactic seems to be working and the morale is a lot better than usually. Been using that guidetofm site for that.

One question tho, the tactic plays really un-oportunistic patient football, i just played Leicester at home, drew 1-1 but couldnt get through their defense until i switched to attacking more opportunistic tactic. Was 0-1 down, my team wasnt worse than them just not getting through what do you do when that happens? They played what i think was a standard 442 not attacking, not defensive either and they have a insanely fast striker (Delfouneso)

It depends on how the opponent are playing. If they sit deep and defend, I never play more attacking than Control. I also then prefer to play with a deeper d-line, much wider and with the players playing through defence. Here, movement form deep is really important and having your wingers raom and moving into channels along with the more creative MC and FC also roaming. Mind you, if playing in the Championship, most teams are pretty even and its not certain to work anyway

[kazm]

Yeah thought so. Should i put the wingers to 'move into channels' in the 442? Dont have that.

Also about the wingers, for some reason their crosses always get headed away, my ML has only 2 assists so far (crossing 15) my mr Faubert has 0 assists (12 crossing). Is there something i need to change so their crosses actually arrive at my strikers? Or is this just something coming with the un-opportunistic way of playing? So far i am winning and it doesnt really matter who scores and how, its just something that might be useful to improve on.
