FM 13 Tactics. 4 approaches from other bloggers

Hello FM people,

Last week I made a short competition for free Steam codes between FM Crowd bloggers asking them to write articles about FM 13 tactics. It’s already over. I believe this stuff can be helpful to you because the guys described several interesting tactical approaches there. I’d like to share links on their FM 13 tactics here.

1. FM-Manager

Modern 4-1-2-2-1 tactical approach

The tactics was successfully tested on two clubs: Socheaux and Southampton. What I liked the most is analysis of how team defends and attacks via example of Premier League match against Arsenal.

2. Rams to the Slaughter

4-1-2-3 and 4-2-2-2 tactics

Macshimidh who manages Derby County and writes about it to his FM Crowd blog surprized me with an unusual formation of 1 DMC and 3 central strikers. Though it’s his ‘plan B’ tactical approach. The main tactics is classic 4-4-2 turned into 4-2-2-2 by moving wing midfielders to winger positions.

3. Splash

1 forward-2 wingers variations

Splash blog author insisted on attacking approach in his post. “Attack is the best form of defense” as a proverb says. He stated that the 4-1-2-2-1 and the 4-2-3-1 were the most efficient formations since Football Manager 2011.

The last but not least there is 4-3-2-1 formation with attacking and defensive principles. Short but nice article shows interesting experience of its author in FM 13.
