UNOFFICIAL: Successful Manager - GUIDE (PGCătălin)

[Rob1984]

Hello, just started playing 2 days ago. I've been reading your advice and buying decent players. Could you look at this team and see if my tactics are ok? Is it just a case of putting your players into their favourite positions?



Questions:
Do I need to have a DM?
What players should I sell/buy?
Does it make a difference having a player in the middle square instead of one of the squares either side of the middle one? E.g. xx-xx or x-xxx ?

Thanks! Your advice has been great.

You don't need to have them strategic like xx-xx, they can be x-xxx as well, also you made a nice formation with your players, is really ok, you should sell your res.

its way too aggressive imho, unless you have a squad rivalling brazil, i wouldnt play that formation. you want to be playing 4 layers, such as 4-2-3-1, or 4-4-1-1, or if you have really good CBs 3-5-2, or even 3-3-2-2

No is not, because he just started to play so it's mean that he's level 1 and you can see he have very good players on defence.

Thanks for the advice. I did think it was too attacking. To switch to 4-2-3-1 I just need to move one striker down into central AMF position right? (See my last pic).

Can I play an MF or ST there? or does it have to be an AMF?

Do you ever use DMFs? Or put players in that line?

Cheers

What do you mean four layers? I think the formation is okay, but the arrows are all wrong.

Rob, it's best to not play players out of position.

Honestly your team is very good how is now, especially at your level. Don't make more changes.
