Lovely stuff, Scarborough Athletic League one terrorism incoming!


Sumo_FM

Thoughts and prayers for all fans of teams in League One 😂


SundayLeagueHooligan

Haha we’re gonna shithouse our way to another promotion 😂

Here's my Man UFC using this shithousery of a tactic https://preview.redd.it/x71uuck9896d1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0b145cb39d642787eb0edb198fc16646e8a6e21

If AI could rage quit or save scum, this would be it.

RealHumanBean89

One could only imagine absolute scenes if this happened irl. Ten Hag just deciding to crash the division with no survivors using the most shithouse tactics would be incredibly based.


Purple_Accident_7317

Winning the league by going invicibles with a 38 game run of 1-0 wins will go down in history.


Sumo_FM

Incredible work! FMing FM is just beautiful, especially when it's Citeh


garynevilleisared

That xG match story is me but I'm City


TravellerFrom2036

Makes me remember that specific Pep vs Mourinho match :D


huffsan

“Positive”


Sumo_FM

Yes.


Eiphil_Tower

Gap Connahs Quay will send you a hamper of chocolate for this new formation is possibly going to stop TNS's pay to win strat in the Welsh premier League.


Sumo_FM

Haha a worthy cause if ever I've heard one! Down with TNS! Please keep the chocolates, as I'm sure they will come in handy to pay someone in lieu of a week's wage 😂


Eiphil_Tower

I've tried every dumb strat I could think of but this may work just need to get a complete forward as I've never had one,might try target man or defensive forward. The tns thing is dumb as they wing the only money around and poach all the few good players. I have. I've said it many times here and until I manage it, Fuck TNS


Sumo_FM

Yeah the CF is just a luxury really - he was a freak cheap wonder kid newgen I managed to get from Mexico and his physicals were all 14+. A pressing forward would probably work pretty well and, like I said, target man and DLF(A) both worked. TNS can suck a big bag of dicks.


Eiphil_Tower

Thank you for sharing and understanding my hatred for them, no matter how well i do they just waltz in from another country to play in the Welsh premier league, they can fuck right back off there. Drew with them today using this shithouse of a strat due to conceding a 95th min pen but thats the first non loss to them in 8 years. I'll take it practice it more. Fuck TNS


Sumo_FM

Anyone who knows anything about the Welsh leagues knows TNS are scum. Glad you were able to take some points off the fuckers


JohnnyyP

I've faced an AI team playing exactly like this... It's absolute cancer to play against. This is beyond Simeone shithousery


Sumo_FM

(Apologies for such a long write up)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sumo_FM

Thanks. It was literally barely as well, if I remember rightly, with just 1 point in it


Spunk-Nugget

never apologise for some creative OC man, need more stories and tactics posts like this and less "guys am i having a golden generation?" youth intake previews


Sumo_FM

Haha fair one, thanks mate


MajikoiA3When

If you simulated games with this on you could grind out seasons pretty quick due to a lack of highlights. Peak football terrorissm.


Coast_watcher

This is one reason I want to try it lol. It might be the fastest game I watch even on Comprehensive highlights.


joethesaint

Right, I'm at Chieti FC in Serie A (start in Serie D) and I'll try this away at Napoli. This is a game I'm supposed to lose heavily. Let's see what happens.


JellyDisastrous8655

Tell us how it went


joethesaint

3-1 loss, which is pretty much par for the course for the two teams' quality xG 3.06 - 0.92 Definitely needs some tweaks, it invited a lot of pressure and we lost the possession battle despite the tactic being designed to play keep-ball. They were playing 4-4-2 as well.


WinningTheSpaceRace

How familiar with the tactic were your players?


Illum503

Looks like a jet plane


Sumo_FM

The most boring jet plane ever 😂


FerraristDX

Good to see my boy Tommy Doyle getting represented here.


Sumo_FM

Signed him on a free a couple seasons ago - he's a beast in the middle of the park


WinningTheSpaceRace

Good to know! I've just got him at Plymouth.


aa1898

Great post! May I ask how you would respond (tactic wise) to either going a goal up or down during a match?


Sumo_FM

It would depend on opponent and situation, but honestly mostly stay the same. Until the last 10-15 mins or so, then: goal up - take the mentality down a notch and start to time waste. Goal down and wanting to score? Honestly just change tactic 😂


Expert-Ask-1149

I love this. Crimes against football that would have even Tony Pulis shaking his head and calling it "a bit much".


Sumo_FM

Yeah I realised route one shithousing just wasn't enough shithousery to really stick it to the fans, so I opted for 600 sideways and backwards passes in our own half 😎


JanjulaBejbe

Lovely stuff 🔥


Ok_Replacement_2736

Ah, a fellow Ouedraogo Enjoyer. A man of culture


ebola_kid

I've signed him in 3 different club saves and he's been a beast in all of them. In year 6 of my Schalke save right now and he's the best I've ever seen him, won German player of the year 3 years in a row and the year before those he was golden boy. Absolutely insane


Ok_Replacement_2736

I stumbled upon him accidentally. And Maenhoff and Halseth-Nypan too. Assan is the Paddy Kenny to my Neil Warnock


ebola_kid

Halseth-Nypan is amazing. He led my team basically in my Derby save. I desperately tried to get him in my Schalke save but he wouldn't join. Now he's Dortmund's best player with a 102mil release clause and I keep eyeing him even though he's not really better than my current DLP


Scottishcabbage95

Diego Simeone would be proud of you


forkie1

Very cool! Appreciate the write up.


AlviseFalier

Thanks for sharing, I'm about to bring Trento to the Serie B for the first time in their history, and had already been planning to implement a 3-at-the-back system. This has given me some ideas.


Sumo_FM

Nice. Hope it helps you stay up


TravellerFrom2036

Bro in my last save I had seen many similar tactics to that, and it is pure cancer I hate it. (Less than 2.5 goals guarenteed)


Sumo_FM

Hatred is the aim 😂 I've seen the AI play a 5-3-2 a lot and some similar shapes, but never this and never anywhere near as cancerous


jlpw

I was hoping for this!


Hot-Yogurt-closet

I've taken Metalurh Zp to the top of the Ukranian Premier. I've drawn Real Madrid in the Champions quarter final for the second year running. Second leg at home upcoming and somehow 1 goal up on them. I'm definitely deploying this. Pray for me!


A_Problem_In_Time

Quick, someone give me a team in a top 5 league that lacks wingers. I wanna try this out without having to sell the whole squad haha


Sumo_FM

Maybe Brentford?


iwxndmbeatz

Off topic but what’s the skin on the first and second screenshot


akak_7

That's FM17 or 18 I guess


Sumo_FM

FM 17


iwxndmbeatz

Thanks


Bl1tz-Kr1eg

Maybe it's cause I play FM22 but I've never seen this particular tactics screen before... is it a skin or a newer version of FM?


xXLupus85Xx

Older - it's FM17.


Bl1tz-Kr1eg

Thanks, looks better than the one we've got currently lol.


Sumo_FM

First 2 are 2017 and last one is 2024


Luke92612_

This puts Conte, Mourinho, and Nuno to shame.


Sumo_FM

You're too kind


TeachingUnique2369

Any players instructions


Sumo_FM

Yeah they're at the end of the post, I just messed up the formatting a bit


TeachingUnique2369

Can’t wait to try it out I just made 2 tweak with was play with a standard line mid block


Sumo_FM

Hope it works for ya - let me know


malkusm

I'm glad to hear you've had some success with this, I always try direct, high-tempo counter attacking in my 5ATB formations when we're playing a bigger side. I usually stay in the match but don't get results (lots of 0-2 and 1-2 losses). To me this looks like the way the game explains the Catennaccio preset tactic? Especially the "Hold Shape" and "Regroup" instructions for transitional play.


Sumo_FM

Yeah I didn't realise at the time that I created something so close to Catenaccio - creating a tactic was different then - the last image is just how I would try it in the current FM, and I used Catenaccio as a starting point, but I don't know if it'll work and think it will need tweaking. It works well at holding on to a lead, which is basically what Catenaccio was created for I think...


malkusm

I could never get Catenaccio to work in FM22 but I'm inspired to give it a go, thanks for posting it. Cheers mate


Sumo_FM

Yeah I honestly don't know if it will actually work, especially considering the meta the last few years, but it did in past versions with a few tweaks. Probably would have to change to a mid block and standard backline nowadays to make it not just totally useless 🤷‍♂️
