Help Need some tactical assistance

[Jack]

Hey guys,

So I've played Mobile / Handheld for many years now - I've never had any issues adjusting tactics to suit my squads since I have a fairly decent understanding of the game. However I'm struggling on this year's version to score goals on the Original Match Engine (OME). I cannot understand why I can't get things to work, it's really frustrating either drawing or winning only 1-0 or 2-1 against teams who have inferior players to mine (particularly in defence). I'm consistently the one of the lowest scoring teams in the top half of the table and if I didn't have such a good defensive record I'm sure I'd be losing games left, right and centre.

It's even more frustrating given my current set-up. I've typically run a 4-2-3-1 (FB/CB/CB/FB-AP/DLP-IF/AP/IF with any type of striker - they all worked in previous versions) however after two poor seasons with this tactic I decided to switch to a more defensive approach to try to grind out results and win promotion; I switched the attacking midfielder (#10) into central midfield for a BWM or BBM. Obviously playing 3 in the middle means I'm restricting myself - but I've always played on 'attacking', I have two outstanding wingers/IF's for League 2 level (Brandon Barker & Joe Lolley) and two very good strikers. Even when I switch to 4-2-3-1 in games I find that it makes minimal difference.

I've searched these forums for successful OME tactics in the hope that I could try one and see how it fares - unfortunately everything I've found isn't really suitable for the players I have. Perhaps I haven't looked hard enough? Don't know. Either way I was hoping some of the brilliant people here could give me some tactical assistance. Crazily haven't had the time or motivation to grind through a save until now but I'm already demotivated at the prospect of having to play like Jose

Just want to reiterate that I've genuinely had no obstacles on previous versions of the game. Is this year's version really that different? I'm open to any (including new) ideas... help!

This tatic seems to work well on OME...You tend to score loads using this!! I used to use OME all the time however was getting bored using the same tatics as limited tatics work on it..it appears that EME has alot more going for it this year in terms of tatic variety and alot more support on the forums for it.

If it doesnt work dude i would deffo consider EME...i was dead against EME up to about 2 weeks ago however i gave it a shot with some of the tatics off the tatics index and it changed the game for the better for me

The reason I like OME is because I can breeze through a season in next to no time at all by playing short bursts at a time (commuting, occasional evening play) - if there was no OME I'd probably find a different game to play that can deliver the same game pace. My past experience with EME makes it pretty much a no-go zone for me - far too slow.

Edit: 10 goals in 2 games... this is more like it! Early days though.

This is my 1st ever post on here...I'm having the exact same problem mate and it's made me fall out of love with the game I haven't got beyond the September international break since before xmas in about 50 different saves maybe I'm not giving it enough of a chance I dunno but I just can't get into it

I find that matches go slower on the OME this year, the EME is much quicker In my opinion

Yeah so far so good, thank you for sharing it mate. I didn't copy it exactly but I took a lot of what you posted and mashed it into a familiar shape. Even in the games I'm not scoring I'm actually creating more chances / having more shots.

Really interesting to hear EME has clearly improved - I guess I'll give it a chance after the March update with Winter transfers.

Wait, so there's actually a case where EME is faster than OME? I thought if I could run EME fastly, then I could definitely run OME even faster.

This is the real deal. Try it and you will be able to unlock everything.

Well I run the EME on an iPhone 8 and it’s faster than when I run the OME on the same device

In my opinion OME is at its best when you play direct passing.
