Tactics I present to you......JadeSabre!

[Woody]

Wassup dudes...

It's taken a little bit of time as im hopeless with tactics, it seriously takes me ages to get one thats consistant which makes this a huge 1st for me ?.

1st things 1st...whats with the name you say?

Well i'm a massive Star Wars nut and anyone who has read the EU books(now canon) will know the JadeSabre was the name of the ship Luke gave his wife Mara Jade....

As you can see the formation looks abit starship like...atleast ithink it does! ?

So here it is...

SHAPE:

DEFENCE:

ATTACK:

I have used it to great effect on my Aussie save so i tried it on my Rangers save and its been doing very well.

I think it could be tweaked for a 1kc but i think it could be great in a triple threat challange maybe!

Let me know what you guys think.

All critique is welcome good or bad...i'll still love you no matter what.

Cheers ?

It really is the best feeling when you get a tactic you love isn't it. Great work mate.

So can we expect a TT attempt from you Chris?

Cheers dude...currently testing it with Porto.

Its doing ok but ive overhauled the team from the get go so i think once the team has gelled we will be on the march.

Looking good dude, and hopefully it keeps getting results, I'm struggling big time this year to find anything that gels well and consistently

I know what you mean bud, but this has been without a doubt my most consistant.

I have noticed though TM dont really work in Portugal or Spain, i changed my 2 TM's to poachers so now im playing 3 poachers upfront with my Porto save and its doing loads better.

Im hoping to post this save as my TT career....if season 1 goes well. Got 3 blinders upfront ?

[Taff]

Keep testing, but would be interested in your save

Will post on this thread if all goas ok.

looking forward to it, I agree with the TM issue, I have used Isak as one and one game he bangs in 4 then goes three games without a thing, but the game always seems to have issues with certain positions each year

True....ive struggled with wingers this year.

Finding it easier playing with no width at all. ?

[Taff]

See I've had decent success with wingers, even to the point their pinching a few too many goals

So far it's working with Leeds, not bad with Blyth and not consistent in the MLS with Minnesota. I think it's the team in the MLS though because it's weak in some key positions.

[Woody]

Right...

I've finished the 1st season test in Portugal with FC Porto.

Didn't go as well as i had hoped it would but im thinking the high pressing is compacting the pitch too much so im thinking dropping it to normal should give my players more space to play in.

So....the 3 strikers i went for for this test were:

ROBIN QUAISON

ALEXANDER ISAK.

VICTOR GYORKERES.

It wasnt too bad of a Tripple Threat start i guess but i would of expected better.

Seems the tactic works better in less tactical leagues than the more technical based leagues like Portugal.

So 87 goals isnt a massive score compared to some on here, but im going to make the tactical change and see if things improve in a 2nd season test.

Thanks for trying out mate if you think it can be improved in any way let me know.

Personally i think it varies from league to league and quality of the playing squads obviously.

[DutchTony]

I'm testing a variation of this tactic. 

11-0 last game...

Excellent dude....let me know your differences.

It aint...even tho he's bossing Liverpool smashing 11 past Sporting is excellent!!

[DutchTony]

@Chris Woodward

Sadly that 11-0 was the highlight. Played for half a season testing but not the best results.

The differences between mine and yours are below.

Hopefully you will do better lol

Salah 25

Firmino 15

Mane 15

Not too bad so far ?

[ian77]

Has anyone tried it with a lower league teams?

[Woody]

I did really well with Melbourne Victory with it.

What match engine do you use?

Blyth, it fell apart after starting well.

[Schwantz34]

So I finished a full season test on one of the three saves I've used it with.

 

What I noticed is you have some big losses to teams you'd expect to beat comfortably when you're the heavy favourite, but when it works it's brilliant. Only just nicked the title but still it's my highest finish on that particular save.
