Tactics 4-2-4 Counter

[teddysteadyboy]

Hello guys, this is my first time posting in this fórum, been playing fm for a long time, but been a lurker here since ever!! 

I’ve known this tatic for quite some time know, but gave up on it in FM19. Decide to give it a try in FM20 just to see how good it could be and i gotta say it was great, i coached a Portuguese team, Sporting, the only addition that i made was loaning a CB due to poor 2nd choices in case of injury. As you can see on the screenshots i won the EuroCup in the first season against PSG also ive won the Portuguese League and Cup all this with an average team!

About the tatic:

I’ve tried it in offensive but counter was the most effective, even against lower teams. Make sure to have a good finishing striker at least and a good playmaker too..

Im pretty sure that this tactic might exist already but this is my version of it, try it and i hope u enjoy it!

Great results including some big wins. Will have a look myself! 👍

I feel that this formation is suitable for low level, but it's 4-2-4 for the year of, I don't know how it is this year

Hi,

I tried this tactic in MLS...and it worked GREAT!

1st season I took LA Galaxy to the MLS Final.

2nd Season I took over Inter Miami which then was a new club in MLS with only for contracted players.
Won the MLS title first season, Fiete Arp who was on loan scored 45 goals.

3rd season I took Inter Miami to the Nort american Champions league title
Then played in the world club championsship where it ended in the quarters against Liverpool.

Will try it in another league as well.

Seems to work in Premier League as well,

After I resigned as Inter Miami manager I got the Chelsea job, a struggling chelsea.
But after a few signings I´m top of the league (Only 10 games in)

The only thing I changed is that I change the HB and LB to Full back instead of Wing back,.

The tactic looks promising, maybe I'll try it.

But i just wanted to say one more thing, Sporting is not an average team, we have at least the third best squad in Portugal, and we have the only world-class player who currently plays in the Portuguese league : Bruno Fernandes.😁

Sim mas em termos de equipa no geral em relação a várias equipas que joguei na LE é muito inferior e é aí que a tática da aquele boost

I prefer to have them at wing back to balance the narrow instruction, they help a lot wit crosses and assists!

This does not work in the Bundesliga, at least with Augsburg, I’m going to get sacked, but I’m no good at the game so I’m not going to pretend to know what to do,

Its not you, its the tactic. Its not good.

plenty tactics work in the Bundesliga . Search in the tactics section and find the "the COTE" tactic or the "352 flat". Both will work after months or instantly .

This tactics work very well with Burton Albion i got promoted to championship in the first season great work man 👌✌️
