Tactics Classic and effective 4-4-2

[Van The Man]

Hi! 

 

My goal was to create a classic and effective 4-4-2 tactic. In the end I came with this. Due to lack of time, only tested with Manchester United. It's important that you have fast wingers with a good cross and stamina. Left-footed winger on the left and right-footed player on the right, of course. The target man holds the ball for emerging midfielders but also scores a lot himself! You can just go for a 'cheap' option like I did with Weghorst. He has the right qualities. Power, shooting and heading are very important. As a partner front i picked a poacher who is always on the lookout for clever balls from midfield. The rest of the positions actually speak for themselves. In midfield go for a combination of a creative player and a dynamic midfielder. As a tip for corners I would always put the TM at the first post and aim for that. 

 

 

Below some stats and results.

At the back he has CD’s and FB’s

Midfield is wingers either side of a RP and a BBM.

Up top it’s a P and a TM

He said due to time constraints he had only tested it with Man Utd 😉

Not really had the time. I did test the tactic in pre-season matches with a few different teams while making the tactic. With AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen. It's a simple tactic in a normal formation so I think you can use it easily in any league. Of course you need the right players as always.

My bad -

The amount of goals your strikers are getting is impressive. You should try a DT for this once you have the time 😉

Unbeaten with Bayern, no cheating no editor.

Playing as Bayern nobody should ever need an editor or to cheat. Their squad is world class ha ha!

Great results though 👏🏼

One of the best teams to use on FM. Isn’t much you need to improve with the squad either, maybe have some extra midfielders and a left back. And Lewandowski needs replacement after 2 seasons.

Why would you even need to find a of him when you already have Jamal Musiala?

Nothing wrong with Musiala, problem is his age. I would rather use a known good players around the age of 25-28 and loan Musiala out to get experience.

Fair enough. I had him turned top class at 19 but yeah 25-28 years old players are more consistent

Nice that the tactic works for you. I think if you choose a poacher instead of the second (left) TM you score even more goals. Then the TM also functions better because it provides the poacher with assists.

Just bought Ronaldo. Back again after 13 years. Scores 4 times in his first match! LEGEND

Used Your 442 at home and tweaked it to 352 for every away games, Julian Naggelsman style;)

Yes, especialy against bigger teams if played small team away and not winning after first half changing to 442 to score.

Wingerless tweak of Your tactic, levante first season.

[MyTacticsSuck]

It looks like the roles are really important for this tactic. I decided to change the wingers to Inverted Wingers and conceded 4 goals before half time. I change their roles to Winger after half time and bring on a duo of Advanced Forward + Target Man (for my team it was Che Adams and Ings)I also decided to change the mentality to overload and I end up scoring three past Liverpool after being 4-0 down

Always coming back to this combo, that 442 is best FMH tactic this year.

Champion with herta with 3 games to go

League title with Torino in first season!
