Tactic Posts



Article Title - Please try to be as descriptive as possible. Include the name you've given your tactic and which version of FM this tactic (or set of tactics) is for. For example:



FM20 Roy's 4-2-3-1 World Beater - Great With Top Clubs



Intro - Please try to provide as much detail as possible. Include important information and if possible, screenshots and detailed descriptions of the Formation, Team Instructions and Player Instructions.



Don't forget to include information about what types of players you try to use in each position or role. What player attributes others should look for, that work well with the tactic.



If you use additional settings, such as shouts (touchline instructions) during matches, Opposition Instructions (OI's), or have media and motivational tips that you use with your tactics, don't forget to provide details of those as well.



Try to provide examples of how you've done with your tactic and what teams you've used them with, what divisions or countries they've worked well in.



Please mention early in your opening post, if you used the Tactics Creator or "Classic" slider settings to create the tactic. If the latter, don't forget to mention that users might not be able to use some or all of the individual instructions and that they may have to tweak individual instructions to make any desired changes.



Provide a download link using well-known file hosting site www.mediafire.com or upload your tactic to Steam Workshop so others can subscribe easily to your tactic.
