Hey guys, i start this new thread to share this little project of mine, this is going to be a tactic testing thread but i want it to be enjoyable for me and for you, so nothing scientific here :p. The scenario is the World Cup and the 32 national teams in it.
I'm using the database found on the amazing **mantorras77 thread: http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/shar...rtugal-win-2014-world-cup-tactic-testing.html**
I've downloaded 32 different tactics found on this forum and assigned each one to a different national team in the competition. The draw has been 100% casual with the "pick a team for me" already present in FM, so if your tactic has been assigned to a ****** team is because you've been unlucky:p but don't worry i'm planning more than one round ;)
All the tactic are used as Plug&Play and no changes are made in-game (only when injuries and red card) the starting 11 is decided by the assistant manager via "quick pick" and these are the "staff responsibilities" for everyone

Nice idea mate.
You selected which nation will play with what tactic randomly or in order to suit their squads?
 
Updated first post with complete draw. Who will win? Place your bets :D
 
I reckon Germany or Argentina. They have the best mix of team and tactic.
 
Day 1 Group C
Ivory Coast - Japan
View attachment 362086View attachment 362085
Tight win for Ivory Coast but it could be larger, Japan dangerous in the last minutes but still not able to reach the draw

Greece - Colombia
View attachment 362084View attachment 362083
Another tight win, this time is Colombia making 3 points. Unlucky Greece they probably deserved more

Day 1 Group D
Italy - England
View attachment 362080View attachment 362079
England in control of the game with 60% possession, in the end killer Italy counterattacks have made the difference

Uruguay - Costa Rica
View attachment 362076View attachment 362075
No surprise here from Costa Rica, the gap between this two teams was huge
 
Day 1 Group E
Ecuador - Switzerland
View attachment 362046View attachment 362045
Nice win here for Switzerland, they came out in 2nd half after a boring 1st half

France - Honduras
View attachment 362044View attachment 362043
3-0 yeah but what a game from Honduras, 75minutes before conceding. Good enough for me

Day 1 Group F
Argentina - Bosnia & Herzegovina
View attachment 362042View attachment 362041
They came they saw they conquered, easy win for Argentina

Nigeria - Iran
View attachment 362040View attachment 362039
i think we have the first surprise here, i wasn't expecting a win from Iran
 
Day 1 Group G
Ghana - USA
View attachment 362037View attachment 362035
Huge win for Ghana against USA, deserved win for them

Portugal - Germany
View attachment 362036View attachment 362034
Superb comeback from Germany, still a good performance for Portugal

Day 1 Group H
South Korea - Russia
View attachment 362033View attachment 362032
Surprising performance from South Korea, i was expecting a lot better from Russia

Belgium - Algeria
View attachment 362031View attachment 362030
Close 1st half, but in the 2nd one...

Fantastic work on all the games. Not quite what the US played in my opinion, and I'm also not sure what Klinsmann was doing in the midfield there. No Jones or Bradley. They were more along the FinalCut formation (4-1-4-1) or a 4-4-1-1 variant. Only one striker on the field at a time.

Otherwise these scores are really interesting to see!

Thanks!
 
Day 2 Group A
Cameroon - Croatia
View attachment 361903View attachment 361902
3 shots on target 2 goals, first 3 points for Croatia

Brazil - Mexico
View attachment 361901View attachment 361900
Mexico unable to convert possession, Brazil say thanks and scores 4!
View attachment 361899
Brazil already qualified, still hope for Cameroon and Mexico

Day 2 Group C
Japan - Greece
View attachment 361898View attachment 361897
After the first matches i was expecting Greece to win this, i was totally wrong stunning performance from Japan

Colombia - Ivory Coast
View attachment 361896View attachment 361895
Total domination from Colombia, no chance for Ivory Coast
View attachment 361894
Still hope for everyone, Greece will need a miracle
 
Nice work mate. I reckon it will be Spain or Argentina to win it. My tactic got the group of death :S, still Uruguay should give a decent fight. Did you use the one in the OP or in my last post? Think the Wingers paradise!! on page 27 may give a better fight in your other rounds of testing.
