4-1-3-2 Velvet Blitzkrieg Tactic – Recreating the Mighty Czechs

4-1-3-2 Velvet Blitzkrieg Tactic – Recreating the Mighty Czechs

Comments 1 Comment

This article is dedicated to that amazing team from 2004 which was able to take Czech Republic national football to heights it never experienced since. I believe that modern managers can learn something from the Czechs tactic. Recreating this 4-1-3-2 Velvet Blitzkrieg Tactic, as I like to call it, will be the focus of this article. It will be my last tactical experiment in Football Manager 2019. It is also my attempt to get back to the essence of what…

Regardless of if or what you voted in the referendum, because fundamentally this is Dictate the Game and not Newsnight, many of us are sick to death of hearing about it. Britain will likely leave the European Union at the end of October. When it happens,…

What a surprise, huh? I’m used to describing my possession tactics every week; now I’ll tell you about counter-attacking slickly in FM19. Strangely, my WBA side is still set up to control possession patiently. However, there are a few alterations, which have made the passing style slightly more mixed. Obviously, I will explain this in the article below! Hamburg 1-5 West Bromwich Albion I did not expect to concede 56% of the ball in this game. I also didn’t expect…

Great Sides of FM – AS Roma, The Most Fun Club to Play

Comments 4 Comments

Part of Great Sides of Football Manager Series We finally did it! Roma has won its 3rd Serie A title after a long 20 year drought. The fairy-tale run we had in my 2nd season, solidified my belief in Roma as the most fun club to play on FM. Luckily the club’s talented core remained unchanged in real life. So it should be another great year with AS Roma in FM20. Here are some of the reason why I love my FM19…
