Chat Has anyone had any success with an underdog?

[AnandP812]

Hi all,

Hope you are well.

I was just wondering if anyone has had any success with an underdog on FMM21. I know that I had plenty of success with an underdog (Aston Villa) in FMM20. However, despite that, I have been struggling to be successful with an underdog on FMM21.

I have managed West Brom, Burnley and Brighton, but with these teams, I have just narrowly avoided relegation each season, eventually getting sacked a few seasons in.

I have been used a combination of these tactics (see below), but they have resulted in mixed results, mostly losses - credit for these tactics goes to @Georgerog97, @deepheat83 and @cowley89.

Also, the 5-2-2-1 tactic was very successful for me on FMM20, but it has just simply not worked on FMM21.

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for succeeding with an underdog? I usually use a 5 at the back, but I am having limited success.

Thank you.

Do you just want to manage in england or are you willing to go abroad?

 Fmm21 is more advanced than last year so i don't think last season tactics will work as good as before.

There has been a lot of other tactics this year so why not try them out? (Assuming you haven't seem them already)

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yes, I am willing to manage a team abroad as long as it's a small team. I agree - FMM21 is way more advanced compared to FMM20.

I have tried most of the tactics, but most have been unsuccessful for me.

Love the underdogs - my long Irish career on here took an irish league team to five consecutive Champions League wins, and my previous long career took a few teams in Scotland and England through the leagues.

You decide whether I am successful or not. Here is the tactic I used.

Had a lot of success with underdogs. I’ve won quite a few league titles right after getting promoted in multiple leagues

I got Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie to Europe using a nice 5-3-2 counter attacking tactic I found on the site here.

That is great - what tactic was it if you don't mind me asking?

Wow, that is really impressive - good job there! Now that is what I call successful with an underdog. And thanks for also sharing the tactic - I will try it out.

I did start this earlier on on FMM21 but saved over it, I want to do something similar again. I do enjoy Lower league, but it can become a bit unrealistic as it’s quite easy to surge up the leagues.
