Tactics DOMINANT 3-2-1-4 (Tactic that Beat Real Madrid 8-0!!)

[Melv98]

Decided to start a new save with Queens Park in the Scottish Championship with this tactic. Won the old division 1 in my first season gaining promotion to the Premier League.

In my 2nd season (first season in premier league) came 2nd and to be honest i thought i was going to win at one point but hit a form slump and every team talk I had didn’t have the desired effect….

3rd season - won the Premier League and Scottish Cup.

All achieved with very little funds and signing free transfers / loanees.

Just started a new save with Torquay, only played one league game, then came here to read more comments, noticed yours and yes it's only one game but won 5-0 away but used it on 'Control' mentality and took 'shoot on sight' off. Will play some more games obviously and see how it goes.

What was the results on the season?

added 0 minutes later

Can this tactics be modified to make it become more attacking?

[MaguireSimp]

how do you turn on man-marking on CD? never seen such option in the game

[danielchief]

After the update it doesn't score as much. How can I change this. Do I need to edit something?

There's evidence posted only 15 hours ago that it does.

Maybe look at your squad and see if it's a personnel issue. Do you have players suited to the roles etc.

Yes I have suited players. Should I maybe change player roles,?

No you don't need to change the roles.

Better players will help but I'm not sure why you don't think it's effective. What forwards are you using? Are they missing too many chances? Do they need better decision making or shooting ratings?

I've had no trouble with any team I've tried the tactic with.

I'm not winning by big margins. He for 155 league goals with Leeds and I'm getting 100 with mancity imagine that? My players are done with good attributes and all world-class

There will be a reason as there always is. People are getting lots of goals using weak and world class teams so the proof is there that it works.

Keep playing around with different player relationships (if those are strong you'll be a lot better) in your team and different combinations until you start to score more is all I can really suggest from here.

[badigard123]

This is a really great tactic but I tweaked some and now better.

Change width balanced,

Change Overlap runs, run at defence and work into box

[Sarge]

I don't post very often, but thought i would to show the success I've had with this tactic with Liverpool. I have used this tactic explicitly from that start, including the set piece instructions. Retrained TAA to CM, and sold all other Full Backs.

1st Season - sorry didn't get any screenshots.

2nd Season - results, stats and transfers can be seen below. I have 2 teams which i rotate each match.

Looking forward to the 3rd season. Brought in Beraldo as VVD replacement when he retires at the end of this season, although my other CBs are operating just fine. Salah is also due to retire at the end of the season, but Bardghji has been fantastic in the 2nd team in the FR position.

Cette tactique innovante a nécessité beaucoup d'essais et d'erreurs pour être perfectionnée et je suis heureux de la partager comme ma première sur fmmvibe !

*La tactique a été testée et approuvée pour fonctionner dans différentes équipes*

Pour les téléspectateurs qui reviennent : reportez-vous à  4. Set Pieces . Cela devrait résoudre la plupart des problèmes. Merci pour tout votre soutien !

1. Philosophie tactique : 

J'ai développé cette tactique dans le but de maximiser la production offensive (possession + tirs) sans compromettre la solidarité défensive. Voici comment je l'ai fait :

 

2. Exigences du poste :

Défense : Les DC doivent être tous CD ou tous NCB (faites-moi confiance mdr). J'ai utilisé des CD en Championship mais je trouve que les NCB sont beaucoup plus efficaces en Premier League/compétitions supérieures. Une autre exigence TRÈS IMPORTANTE est d'activer le marquage individuel pour les 3 DC.

Milieu de terrain : le milieu de terrain triangulaire est ce qui permet le contrôle dans cette tactique. J'utilise exclusivement AP au poste de n°10. Pour le pivot, je privilégie deux CM mais n'importe quelle combinaison de CM, BBM, BWM et DLP devrait convenir.

Attaque : les quatre en pointe causent des ravages lorsqu'ils pressent l'adversaire et créent des surcharges en attaque. Le nombre de buts que je marque en forçant les erreurs et les pertes de balle est fou. J'utilise exclusivement les IF sur les ailes et les P comme attaquants.

 

3. Exigences tactiques :

Forme : La surcharge soutient ma philosophie d'attaquer avec urgence à tout moment. La largeur étroite garde l'équipe compacte et moins susceptible aux contre-attaques. Je trouve que jouer à un rythme plus rapide garantit que l'équipe joue directement et envoie rapidement le ballon aux quatre premiers. Une mentalité disciplinée garantit que les joueurs respectent mes instructions.

 

Défense : La ligne haute permet de coincer les adversaires dans leur moitié de terrain. Le 3-2-1-4 peut sembler très instable défensivement, mais les quatre de devant, lorsqu'ils pressent, perturbent vraiment la construction de l'adversaire, en particulier contre les systèmes à trois de l'arrière. J'ai mis le pressing sur toute la ligne et cela fonctionne à merveille avec la configuration 3-2-1-4.

 

Attaque : J'ai choisi la tactique du tir à vue car je préfère la quantité à la qualité en attaque. Je règle les passes sur courtes pour maximiser la rétention du ballon et maintenir la forme. J'attaque au centre pour m'assurer que si un mouvement se brise, le ballon sera dans une zone encombrée plutôt que sur le côté où le 3-2-1-4 est vulnérable. Je règle la distribution du gardien sur longue distance pour amener le ballon dans les zones d'attaque le plus rapidement possible et garder le jeu dans la moitié de terrain adverse. 

4. Coups de pied arrêtés :

* Les instructions illustrées doivent être reflétées horizontalement dans la zone opposée (de gauche à droite) *

Au fil de l'utilisation de cette tactique, j'ai constamment modifié mes instructions de mise en scène. C'est pourquoi j'ai omis cela dans mon article initial. Ci-dessous est décrite ma dernière mise en scène et j'encourage tout le monde à comprendre les concepts généraux, à être créatif et à modifier à sa guise.

Attaque : Le principe principal ici est d'être conservateur. Laissez toujours au moins deux défenseurs centraux en retrait. Cela élimine la plupart des risques de contre-attaques. Gardez toutes les positions à « aucun » dans chaque zone d'attaque (sauf les coins et les zones d'attaque les plus profondes). Cela aide à façonner la rétention. Dans les zones d'attaque les plus profondes (juste au-dessus de la ligne médiane), demandez aux attaquants d'avancer et à tous les autres de « aucun ». Cela permet de maintenir l'opposition étirée verticalement et sa ligne défensive profonde. 

Défense : Là encore, je préfère adopter une approche conservatrice. Gardez au moins un attaquant comme point de départ pour lancer des contres et placez les ailiers sur les deux poteaux gauche et droit sur les corners et près des coups francs. Conformément à mon objectif de maintenir l'opposition verticalement tendue, dans les zones défensives les plus avancées (juste en dessous de la ligne médiane), demandez aux attaquants d'avancer. Suivez toutes les autres instructions décrites ci-dessous. 

Voici la tactique en action, notamment  lorsque j'ai battu le Real Madrid 8-0 :

Est ce que cela marche avec des petites équipes genre une étoile et demi ?

This tactic is best but I use defensive mentality and I win %95.

the post is very wonderful ❤️

But I have a question for you: necessary attribute & trait for each position

Tks!

Do you change role of 2 striker?

Because my AP and CM shoot very much so 2 striker score not good

"Player" is man marking

Thanks for this tactic. I’m on a journeyman game which started with (4-3-3 back then) getting sacked at the end of a Liverpool challenge and dropping down to Sutton Utd, moving to Stockport, Bolton and then West Ham. I was almost getting sacked as West Ham manager and then found this tactic.

It hasn’t been totally smooth sailing. After a good start with it, form dropped off, and every time I played a half decent team I would concede 4-5 goals. Had a really bad run mid-season in year 2 and almost got sacked again. The only bit of the tactics I didn’t have applied at this point was far post delivery on corners. 

It seemed the cause (although I’m not sure what came first) was a bit of a player mutiny around stifling club culture and daunting style of play. So I left the team view on “Happiness” and monitored closely, selling off players who had a serious problem. 

Things got better last year and we won the Premier League (only by 5 points) and lost the Champs League final.

Personally I like that the tactic isn’t proving a total hack for me. You still need to get other things right and you go into games not 100% sure you’ll win! This keeps it realistic and interesting. What it does provide for me is a fun tactic where lots of different players get involved in the goals, and you don’t get many of the boring 0-0s and 1-0s which I think are too common in FMM when playing 4-3-3. It feels like a tactic that makes the game as it should be so you enjoy the more strategic elements.

[danielchief]

Can I change the player roles to get more out of this tactic or edit some changes? Mine isn't scoring much
