Fixing Your Bad Tactics (with Tom)

In honor of Tom going full time - we hopped on Reddit and decided to help people that were asking for Tactic help! We have a combined three streamer showdown titles and have a lot of experience playing Football Manager at a high level. I will be sure to link my FM resume below to justify me doing this. Tom just has great vibes so you probably don’t need his resume, but if you want his links to great FM videos I will provide those below as well.

I wanted this tactic saving process to be anonymous. I feel like if I ask for these sorts of Football Manager videos I can get innundated with people that just want to be in a video. Don’t get me wrong, that’s really cool, but these people posted on Reddit specifically asking for help and I just brought Tom around to help them out. Who doesn’t want to have fun breaking down Tactics on FM? It’s certainly more fun then using them in a match only to get FM’d anyways.

Much Love,
FM Senpai

Thanks for having me on, Ze! Tactics are my passion, coming last in streamer showdowns is my hobby.

[benjohnstone]

Came here for the memes, disappointed to only find tactics

[JLABTV]

Alright, pinching that idea of putting the training rating in the starting lineup. Never considered that before. Looks like you both had a blast. It would be cool to see more collaborations between the two of you in the future.

An old team mate of mine was 6’8” and could throw the ball to the other keepers hands. It was crazy to see.

I used force opponents inside when both of my best CD were terrible at heading and they were scored on 1-2 headers from open play per game. The force opponents inside stopped that almost entirely.

Was just watching a TomFM video, then went to a Zealand video, and this popped up.. absolute scenes.

[RyanJones-nvpq]

No nonsense centerback on Eric Garcia is hilarious

[PvtVallen]

Ive been looking forward to this zealand memes video

[XPL]

The last one can absolutely work with other dm roles. A regista and a segundo volante would do it. Lines are tough though

[pwalmsley]

Linked to what Tom said about training rating - on the tactics screen if you minimize the tactic with the double-left arrow in the top left corner, you get more information about your lineup. That includes a picture of each individual player's tactical familiarity in the system as well as their recent workload. I've found this super helpful recently to get an idea of where things might be falling down from an individual player understanding perspective.

9:00 I can vouch for Karabec! Got the guy in my Stabæk save, and he is a really nice player! Scores and assists consistently

[RUSHLAD]

Surely the playmaker in the first tactic is one of the BPD

[Beyondultragaming]

Oh a new video. This video seems familiar. Where have i seen this before 🤔

[PTGMelo]

Tom is a lovely guy, great video guys

[charlesfairs]

That Tottenham tactic is stark raving bonkers, like I don't want to be a dick but surely if you know even a little bit about football tactics you can tell that's a disaster

[theideaFactorymindset]

I was struggling with 4-2-3-1 but now I'm the master of it beating man city 6-2, my backs are in complete wing backs on attack one of my center defend are in central defend cover and the other is in ball playing defend my midfielder one is box box support and the other is in deep laying playmaker defend my attacking midfield is in attacking midfield support and my wingers are in inverted wingers attack my forward is an advance forward also my goalkeeper is in sweeper support and during preseason ensure your training are high so as the players can have a high tactical familiarity at a high level I'm using Newcastle united and the other thing find most suitable players especially in the middle field and the center back with a good speed and passing and your team should have a good work rate every player should start with 13 points of work rate when signing and a good team work because you need good patterns of good play so as the team cohesion goes high which will increase chances for the AI to fevour you to win most of games and buy players from team which play the same system in their club which were playing earlier this will make them to understand the tactics fast even if it is small but isn't a must, for example I bought some of the players from ajax which had been trained to play a high press and a high defensive line

[darrelldadams]

I generally don't like these "rate my tactic" videos, because I never see anybody ACTUALLY TRYING OUT THE TACTIC.
I don't think using conventional wisdom alone is enough to evaluate tactics.

[Egong]

Ahh I see that we are bringing out old videos again XD I saw that faulty uppload!

>Zealand mispronounces a pokemon name

This is water starter erasure.
