Attempt 4:

......... We failed again!

My experiment with all 3 in the AM position lasted 8 games, then I swiftly abandoned it and went with this (Jesus was getting so few chances), I pushed Silva and Sterling out wide as Wingers, but my thinking with this was to have Silva on the right and Sterling on the left, both opposite to their stronger foot in the hope they may be more willing to come infield and create chances by passing rather than crossing, this did sort of work and it also stopped the IWB's pushing on past my Wingers. In theory it sounds OK to me and it worked for the most part but their was one issue once we played our final game.

51 goals is very respectable

29 assists for KDB, decent enough 

Screenshot_20201227_054459_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.d964d5e02e4bb552ca66ae5f819a2825.jpg

14 for Sterling (I guess you see where this going)

7!!!! For BS and just like that we fail again

 

Out total score in the end was 101 so we literally scraped past the 100 point benchmark but we failed in the assists for Silva. 

 

I don't think I've ever failed a challenge 4 times in a row, I can't help but mention its coincided with the latest update for FMM. I'll be taking a break from this badge for a while, I can't keep posting failures 😂😭 Some severe tactic testing is needed to see what now works with the latest update.

Thanks for reading and sorry I suck right now. 😊

Tough to take man. Don't give up though. I was struggling to get Foden to 10 assists. Ended up getting him there by making him corner taker just to get him to 10 then went back to KDB. Everyone mentions the corner bug being fixed. I never had stupid success with mine in the first place. It was just good and that continued after the update. Might be worth aiming corners at your best header of a ball to get the assists up early doors. Then it's all about Jesus after that. 

Failures only make the success' more enjoyable mate. You'll get there. 👍

Thanks all for the support fellas, I think the lack of sleep made me sound a bit more self loathing than I intended, I'll give it another go at some point, maybe today maybe not, I feel I'm stuck In a rut where I'm overthinking my strategy, maybe the trick for me is to go back to the basics and work from there, I'm not too sure yet. But again cheers for the kind words fellas.

After trying and failing to complete the Christmas themed Badge of Honour, I've decided to throw in the towel on that one and book a rematch in the future (Deontay Wilder style)

 

For now though i'll be managing my beloved club and taking the midfield maestro that is Bruno Fernandes to higher heights and fingers well and truly crossed that this one goes better than my recent exploits. 

 

Brunos Big Bash:

 

If this was FMM 20 I would have played a 2-5-1-2, with Bruno as a Treq in behind two Aerial dynamos playing as DLF's, however FMM 21 has been a tricky puzzle for me to figure out this far and haven't had the same success with 2-5-1-2 this year so instead I had to do some brainstorming to figure out what might work well. 

 

I played through a season last night to see how to best go about this. 

Screenshot_20201230_164816_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.054304f1aea778dab4777428e26e7491.jpg

This is how we lined up in my test season, Bruno as the Treq, my thinking with this was to have as many players as possible around Bruno so that if he doesn't score himself, there is a high chance he could get an assist, however this did not work out how I thought it would, often the play would miss Bruno completely and the TM (Cavani or Gomez) would take most of the goals. 

 

... And so I made a few adjustments for this run. 

Screenshot_20201230_164332_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.7a5b09f4772c408b853283921d703320.jpg

Bruno will still play as a Treq but this time in behind a DLF and we have opted for an AP in behind Bruno. I haven't played with this new system yet, but the previous tactic has hopefully given me a better understanding of how this current one should play out. But that's all hearsay until we get down to business. Which will be soon enough. 

 

Thanks for reading.

Glad it’s not just me who hasn’t had the success with these kind of tactics, interestingly though it hasn’t been all since the game came out as I had Son playing amazing in the T role, but it’s since update for me. I’m having a go and trying to figure this one out myself now.

Good luck mate 😁

I've used the exact same tactic in all my successful badge attempts, apart from the MSN one. In every one I've used a T in behind a striker with good results. That's pre and post update.

Disclaimer: This update will be short and sweet as I'm not satisfied with the results.

Busy transfer window for us as 10 new faces enter the dressing room, Januzaj making a comeback.

And 20 leave, including Pogba to Barca for £135 million.

Unbeaten league campaign with plenty of goals scored. 

 

Screenshot_20210101_232339_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.b6618d4c1ee6a8aa2eb1c01cef4a1f87.jpg

This was my A team throughout the season. I changed Bruno to an AP for the last two games, he played as a Treq for the rest. 

Screenshot_20210101_232343_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.a10ca8218747cb676cd9483e4ad17f18.jpg

This was my B team. 

 

Screenshot_20210101_232420_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.261959c4edb7b4fe12f818c178ce66cf.jpgScreenshot_20210101_232425_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.00ed3873529429c02b2693a64c61d3a7.jpg

As you can see, Bruno was our top scorer and assister for the season, but rather annoyingly the goals and assists were spread out across the team, so despite the fact we scored 188 goals across the season, Bruno contributed to just 29.3% of them. 

 

29 goals= 29

26 assists x2= 52

52+29= 81

 

A disappointing total for myself, but one positive is that I found a wacky tactic that will score buckets even in the EPL. Back to the drawing board for this challenge though. 

 

Thanks for reading.

Brilliant results mate, tactic smashed it, be interesting to see how that works in a weaker league! Did Bruno have injuries? I love how Maguire departed for a massive 10m 😂

I’ll add you to the leaderboard now 😁

Yeah the tactic was phenomenal, I just need to figure out how to shift more chances Brunos way and I'll be laughing. 

I might do the Redknapping one with this tactic and test that out, cause I played all out attack (albeit with a different formation) in my first attempt and it went really well

No Bruno was injury free in this run and my test season, the mans made of titanium. 

I just wanted him gone mate and I'm happy that he's back at Leicester 😂

Yeah lower league is always a great way to test an attacking tactic, i usually go Celtic to test any attacking tactic 😂

Ohh do you take him off like 70th minute each game or just leave him on? I’m just thinking I had 62 games out of him. He hasn’t got injured on either of mine either, beast!

No i play him 90 mins every game possible, but Im starting to think that's the wrong strategy

Good work mate, that's a pretty decent score.

I'm doing this at the moment and have a T behind a TM (sometimes P) and it's working okay for Fernandes. I do take him off when he gets to 80% and rest him every so often (when the Slightly Tired message appears) to try to keep him fresh, as I've found some players don't do as well if you overplay them. Never been sure whether that's in my mind or not though! 😄

Interesting to see you score so many team goals and that you have 1 at the back with 2 WBs! My really high scoring FMM20 tactics had that setup (different apart from that), but when I came over to FMM they didn't work nearly as well. I might need to get a little more attacking again...

Anyway, great to see how you went, can't wait to see what you do next, especially if you keep this tactic.

Thanks mate, I did have Bruno as a Treq in behind a TM for my test season and it didn't do that great for me, my team would cross too much (despite me having IWB's & IF's) and Cavani or Maxi Gomez would take almost all the chances. 

 

Well I thought Wacky tactics were dead after that update and because SI never release proper patch notes, we all just have to guess what's changed, it would be nice if they were more open and transparent, instead of just saying fixed,

fixed,

fixed....

Redknapping: (Attempt 2)

I already posted a respectable score for this challenge, but this time, I have a new Gung-ho tactic that I'd like to unleash on League 1 and see how we perform. I also really enjoyed doing this challenge as it's a bit different to most out there and who doesn't like trying to be like Harry Redknapp. 

 

Transfers:

In:

Screenshot_20210102_204951_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.d639827df282f755bdc4560d853e97f0.jpgScreenshot_20210102_205154.thumb.jpg.61008545b13a8cb3b6838c317e0a16ac.jpg

I am delighted with the business I managed to do this window and there's still two new faces to arrive but I couldn't get the deals done before game day. League 1 stars, Siriki Dembele and Chuks Aneke arrive for a combined £5 mil. In total there's 16 new faces before our first league game, with as I say two more arriving in a matter of days. 

Out:

Screenshot_20210102_204959_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.cb6d4aaa015f52852cc9fc0ccaac635a.jpgScreenshot_20210102_205217.thumb.jpg.41246ab54ef553fdf7a7f480b79c5fbc.jpg

Portsmouths key players have been offloaded this time around to finance our spending spree, 17 players were shown the exit door. The mighty Sunderland now have 7 of our ex players, so I expect them to be up there with us come the end of the season. 

 

Tactic:

Screenshot_20210102_205013_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.dc006a5606597d7d2c27097cf3410e2b.jpg

The search for player by role is a godsend, my transfer strategy was, to search for players to fit each role in this tactic, with a minimum benchmark of 11 for those key attributes, on top of that I added, Pace and Stamina, as the tactic does require quite high levels of fitness and speed to last out the full game. 

 

Thanks for reading. I'll be back with the seasons results some time tomorrow hopefully.

Good luck with this mate, looking forward to seeing how this goes, will you top a leaderboard? Also I agree the search for player role is brilliant!

Mid-season Update:

Any concerns I had have been well and truly eased:

Screenshot_20210103_031520_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.85cd6976dea9cd6dafad50e24be85a38.jpg

The team is on fire and at the halfway stage we are still unbeaten in the league, scoring 71 at a ratio of just over 3 GpG. We have a half time score of 113 right now, I would love to have an even better second half.

Great work mate, this is going to be a massive score.

After reading your last update, I got my FMM20 TT tactic (which also has 1CD and 2IWBs) out of mothballs and tried it again. It failed dismally with FMM21 when I tried it with the Chelsea Ex-Wonderkids one, but it's working really well now (with Celtic in season 2). Not sure if it will work straight up at the beginning of the game - it's more attacking than yours, so maybe it only works in a dominant team scenario, but happy to know it works at least in some situations, so thanks! 😄

End of Season update:

The season has drawn to a close, my very own special Pompey side had a fantastic half season, if we kept up that performance for the second half, then we could be in for a great score. Here's how we done:

Team A:

Screenshot_20210103_150521_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.3edcba34cc563e5541dba85e8a14eb70.jpg

Team B:

Screenshot_20210103_150527_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.dc34c09384bfa40a26d2ceb0d741dabb.jpg

Rotation was aggressive with these two teams and both performed valiantly all year.

Chuks as a Treq topped the scoring charts, with our B team Treq, Reece Brown in second and Andre Green in 3rd.

Andre Green sets up 21 goals on top of his own 20. 18 assists for Bodin and 13 for Siriki.

League Results:

Screenshot_20210103_150746_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.f62d5abd91c067b37dd0da3a3b9821a8.jpgWe finished with 127 points and a GD of 88. For a total of 215, so an improvement on my previous score, but still doesn't lay a glove on @hhooo and @RichD's monster scores. 

 

 

Total score: 215.
