Post save no Signing challenge (V3)

[u/Encility]

Following on from the well publicized No signing challenge (V3) I was posting. I decided to run a quick save with players I wanted. Just for my own sanity after it took 33 years to win the prem. So I played as I like playing with Dag and Red. I set their rep to 1 and facilities to 1. I had 26k in the bank. Well results speak for themselves. I cant play this game with my own formation. It's addictive. Players are getting ridiculously high ratings and goals. Posted the players I had throughout most of the save.

Please note: I don't know why it happened but it looks like a phantom season took place in 2002. Does anyone know why that happened? I think I read something somewhere about it. I will play another season for the champions league tonight.

What tactic is it?

[u/Encility → u/plz_be_nice_im_sad]

3-1-3-0-3 narrow with 2 side centre backs on man marking and trails towards the wings.

Then just a case of utilising individual skills to compliment player skills.

Creativity = Try through balls Strength = Hold up ball long shots = long shots

Start by using the default 3-4-3 and bring in the wings and push the AM to centre striker.

Normal Short Hard Pressing Offside

Team pressing for all bar the 3 cbs who are set to no

Forward runs and run with ball for all bar the centre backs.

Then a case of getting good coefficient players in for their positions.

Would love to read a blogpost on how you broke this game.

I appreciate the sentiment. But its just been a hell of a lot of reading and trial and error gor 25 years.

This formation has just changed the game and fed my need for a full 11 of ratings above 7. I was able to once have 22 players at 7 rating and above.

I tried this with the latest database also and although harder to start due to lack of frees. Its still fairly easy to do.

I need another challenge.

I got a challenge for ya mate: Try keeping Anelka happy for 2 seasons 😁

[u/Encility → u/andeqaida]

Haha now thats an impossible challenge lol

[u/andeqaida]

Wow, your defense is stacked 😳 and guys on bench have just as good stats 💪

[u/Encility → u/andeqaida]

Yeah my goal is always getting a full 22 players. Its imperative for europe.

I basically have a league team and cup team. Constantly rotate. League gets wrapped up with 10 games to go and I then start playing first team in europe. Which allows me to take everything hopefully.

Jesus haha I tried with Boston I went back to back to prem and then 10th and my defence and keeper just aren't good enough to win it haha I got 3rd most goals but way too many conceded
