Firstly, Happy New Year you Tactical Masterminds! I was really struggling for ideas; Christmas has been and gone, Coronavirus is apparently still and thing and is worse than ever in the UK, and New Years at Home seemed like hell on earth. I thought about making some stupid tactic using 6 midfielders or 2 defenders, “that’ll make for a funny article, that might even help some people”, I thought. But alas my horrific attempt of a “around the midfielder tactic”…

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…

Last time in the lab, we worked out the attributes that formed the DNA of my hoofball side. In this post, we’ll be comparing FM19 tactics. To do that, we’ll compare that hoofball tactic against a range of others from Dictate the Game in a tactical showdown. We discovered, as a result of the analysis, that for my angry hoofballing side the (common sense) attribute of aggression was not the only key for success. So were surprise attributes like positioning…

The tactical depth in FM19 is simply phenomenal. You can get so immersed in the new roles and sorting out your defensive width, while forgetting about all the other parts of your tactic. Don’t forget player instructions in FM19! When it doesn’t work, some people will go straight to Miles Jacobson to lament how the new features don’t work.However, we’re not like that. These issues test all of our patience, though; no one’s more than mine. You want to know…

Continuing my AS Roma series, I start second season with some clear tactic and transfer goals. Winning the Italian Cup, finishing 2nd in the league and qualifying for another season in Champions League (unlike our real life counterpart) are definite highlights. However here are some things that I am not happy with. Our chance to goal conversation rate is something that needs improvement and I will be doing tactical adjustments with that in mind. This article will serve as a…

Scoring from corners without needing tall players in FM19

Scoring from corners and set pieces has always been one of my club’s philosophies in FM19. Why not tick that box? It can give you extra credit and doesn’t come in the place of another philosophy. Surely, banging in loads of set pieces is doable if you spend a bit of time on your tactic? It can be hard in some circumstances. You might like to buy younger players. You might prefer more technical or creative players than meatheads who…

Well stop reading right here. Wide players in FM19. We’re looking for passing and moving, people. No player can move without passing first. That’s how I developed this spectacular tactical system My tactic with wide players Did you think any of that was true? It couldn’t have been further. If…

Portrait of a Perfect Striker – Guide to Scoring More Goals in FM19

I’m going to start by making a bold claim that Luka Jovic is the best striker in the world now. There is a lot of buzz around him lately. The likes of Barcelona, Chelsea and Man City linked with his name. This has as much to do with his scoring ability as the promise of future potential in this 20 year old. His wonderkid status in Football Manager 2019 is greatly merited. Simply put no other forward has the same…

Club DNA The first question you might ask is what sort of player you will need to recreate Lobanovsky’s system? Or indeed in any kind of “gegenpressing” tactic. Primarily you want players with as much Stamina, Workrate and Determination as possible. I’m looking for something in 14-16 range ideally. Players with high values there should run their hearts out for you. It helps if you use fitting team instructions and roles to get the best out them.
