Do tactics still matter ?

[Jean.Monico]

He is -25% compared to me

The system separated a troll for your final, that's the only thing I can imagine ;/
Better luck next time, gizzmo.

And I have the same feeling you have: there's no longer much of a control in the matches, no matter if you are watching it and making changes to the instructions/formations.
It's seeming to be more like: build a strong squad, pick a formation, train the players, pray for them to do the job by themselves. If "the system wants you to lose", you will lose.

I hope the trolls are with me today and my boys do the job, cause I have a hard CL final in some hours.

Well, I am always reluctant to blame a bad result on a troll. I do not like this word. The first think I am investigating on after a defeat is ME. What did I do wrong ? What should I have done ? In this particular game, I said it previously: I just froze. Beeing behind 0-1 or even 0-2, I may have come up with something. But there... To me, this was not a proper troll anyway as the stats were just slightly in my favor. We'll see this season as the screenplay might be very similar...

Changing tactics can change the course of the game completely, I did it couple of times this season. But what should be changed to what, and how to start the game correctly -- these are the questions.
If tactics and orders don't work, I make radical changes and hope for the best. It often works.
And if something does work, I try not to breath =] Many times I was leading with good statistics, and changing orders to protect the lead (to defensive, short, off) ends with the opposite result.

I won Treble today with only one formation, didnt change it whole season, I just make sure I am 40% stronger than any other opponent in the draw. And dont care about tactics. Average quality is what matters , enough said.

One more thing, I have lost one game whole season that day when Devs implemented UK Tour, so after the update. That day I was superior only 25% to theopponent i have lost. So I added another 20%, he added something but was able to beat him in away game. Since then, walk in a park

i need two more trebles then i will quit because simply there is nothing more to achieve. I will master it and leave the game......

This is my CL final for main team today.
I was playing 451V vs opponent who was changing between 451V and 4321.
Went behind to an early goal.
Made the sub around min 60....one of dc goes out...added an amc...went 3w-1-2-3-1
Immediate impact!!
Sub scored the equalizer......non-stop pressure till the end to score the winner....scored a late Fergie time winner

So yes, tactic still matter!!

Congratulations, dude! Nice job!

In my CL final I will start on 451V, flanks, low pressure, zonal marking, mixed pass (trying to be neutral). Then I will wait the first statistics to decide for High Pressure or Man-to-man Marking and Short or Long pass. This is my "plan A"
And if the things aren't going alright, my plan B is to switch AML AMR to double AMC and play through the middle. I hope you are right and the changes affects the match. I'm sceptical about it because I've done this kind of changes in most of my matches this season and I didn't feel like something was changed :/

After update I think 4-2-3-1 and 3-1-2-3-1 are a bit op....

[Spartan117]

I'll use the 433 pep guardiola 'false nine' formation with aml and amr. The plan is to attack through the middle and blow the opponent away with my massive attack!

The best of the best

ive felt a significant change on the tactics roles after the atualization in a better way. Sometimes only the fluid positioning make possible to change the game course without any subs, so for me, the tactics work "ok". But..... sometimes i make changes to keep the ball possession and hold the result, and i realize that was the worst decision made
