If you are seeking Football Manager 2010 tactics then I advise you to take a look at my asymmetric one used for Leeds.

In the previous post I described my new rather fluent tactical approach that helps to gain success in Premier League if you manage weak club (like Southampton, Wigan, Derby, etc.). The main part of this approach is usage of defensive 4-1-4-1 tactics. You can download it from here:
And now some description of this tactics. Its formation looks in the following way:
Team instructions
Individual instructions
They are the same as in 4-3-3 tactics. Actually this 4-1-4-1 tactics is created from this attacking 4-3-3.
I just moved MLC and MRC from 4-3-3 tactics into positions of clear attacking wingers: ML and MR. And my 2 forwards (FLC, FRC) were moved into MLC and MRC positions.
Some tips and hints during match
- if your opponent plays more aggressive, has more possession of the ball, set Closing Down to maximal value;
- if your opponent is very strong and you play away, turn on Counter Attack
- For away game Mentality can be set more Defensive.
- For home match you can increase Tempo and Mentality. It often gives good result.
- If you need more possession, set the slowest Tempo and Passing Style maximally Short.
I have been reading your blog Vitaly for a couple of months now (but have not posted) and I really enjoy it. I have been struggling away from home and downloaded your tactic to use as my away tactic. It's brilliant. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, ryan, I'm happy to read such words from you!
hey..this dzex again..
plz tell me the suitable ability for all position in this formation??
example..: both wingers must have what ability to look invincible to opponent while attacking?
does the striker must have to use fast or target striker?
what about AMC? have to put dribbler Midfielder or what?
who must feed the ball more to the striker?? the AMCs?? or the wingers??
sorry if i'm make this complicated to u..i just wanna know..
i'll support u man!!
Wingers must be fast with good dribbling, crossing and passing.
Striker can be used of both types. If you play away using counter attacks then prefer fast forward. For home games target striker can be better.
Central midfielder should possess high passing and creativity.
thankz dude..
hope u'll keep on blogging your story about your team..

hey dude...i tried your formation...and the outcome is great...i currently manage manchester city and get 12th in the 1st season but now in the second season my manchester city is at the top of the table in 14 match..and my rolando bianchi has score alot of goal since i use your formation..i also using the training schedule which i d/l from your blog..thankz dude i wish u good luck in managing your saints
yo..its me dzex..
i tried your formation and it works really great when cope with the stronger team..
it really works man!!! thankz..
but there is no luck when 2-star team facing the 5-star team right??

Miro,
I'm really glad to hear that my tactics is helpful for you managing man city. With Saints I'm also happy about that. The next post in this blog will be about season ending and the final position of Southampton in Premier League standing
Dzex,
of course, it is very hard to gain victory or even draw when you manage lets say Colchester and play against Chelsea. In this case you should try to experiment with team and player instructions...
But, for sure, class of Chelsea players can solve the game anyway.
erm..thankz for ur advice..
do you have new attacking tactics?
hope u'll create and post it in next post..
-dzex-
Nope, I'm not going to change the tactics of my current club - Southampton - every half of season. Current attacking tactics is pretty good!
I already finish my season with my man city getting 4th in the premier league and i also win the FA cup and also my Rolando bianchi get the top scorer award...thkz to your formation..Wish u luck..btw i am also an Arsenal fan..this year is the 10th years i been supporting arsenal...i really hope arsenal will be the premiership winner next season..miss watching our player lift the cup since 2003/2004 season
I think and hope that Arsenal will win either Premier League or Champions League. They just need few star players for positions:
DC, DMC and maybe FC.
For DMC I would like to see ether Anatoliy Timoshchuk from Zenit or Gennaro Gattuso from Milan
ı give your tactics . my website yayınLıcam
this actually worked! thanks
I wonder how come Zonal marking works with tight marking??
Tight marking is useful independently of Zonal or Marking style. If forward struggles with your defender for a ball then Tight Marking makes affects defender to be "more tight".
Also consider set pieces when players mark one another always
