My Favorite Tactic for FM20

[@RacsoFM]

That may be the single best intro to a video I’ve ever seen

[@dhirenjadhav8801]

I thought he was joking and i just watched him vibe for the next 3 minutes

[@TonyHavenMusic]

If there's one thing Zealand doesn't joke or play around with it's head bobbing, sit back and enjoy one of the best tech house music videos you will witness in 2020

[@Martin-qv4he]

Your head bobbing tends to go off beat. Theres a lot more to come from you and I believe youve got what it takes. To show it in the next vid.

At the end of 3 minutes of head bobbing and eye contact I almost felt as if I'd made some serious connection with you on an emotional level. I'm crushed now that it's over. I'll be replaying the intro for the rest of my life.

[@falco5448]

Zealand, no joke, i love you and your videos! They are helping a lot and i think i can talk for everybody: they make me step by step better. For big football (manager) fanatics this game has everything and its hard at the beginning (especially when fm20 is your first FM) but thank your videos and your personality we learn fast, master!

[@vikkiroxx]

I developed something called "Vami's Zigzag" (Vami being my CM/FM community nickname since 1995). It's IWB - MEZ - IF. The way it works is the IWB cuts inside, while MEZ goes outward from the center into a wide position and IF cuts inside, so it creates a complementary three-player zigzag. I managed to put it to extreme, having two zigzags, one on each sides and extremely narrow possession game. My possession oscilated around 80% in every game.

[@ATominator9911]

Just watched the head bobbing because that is the reason i watch your channel. I know how most of this FM Stuff works and there are other KZbinrs that explain things better than you but you do it funny and unique and thats why i love your channel

[@TheFatSnorlax]

The commitment for the intro is unreal, love it!

[@rummankalam]

Love you, Zealand. Never change.

[@nocontent4487]

This video has everything. Epic trolling of the haters AND crazy good tactical advice. I've been really frustrated with my current save because my team can't create decent chances and therefore can't score goals. I've been playing the same wide 433, except with inverted forwards and wingers in the wide attacking spots. Switched those folks to true winger on the "right" side, and made a few other minor tweaks, and the goals are now raining in. Looking back, the wing play from before was terrible -- all cutting into the stronger foot for a dribble that ends in nothing. And when these players would go the byline for a cross, having to switch to their stronger foot gave the defense time to either block the cross or get in the box to clear it out.

[@ALG2602]

[@xDIABOx]

Cute! I was using the 4x3x3 with 2 Mez's just like that in FM19. But I felt there was not enough scoring in FM20 with that one. So I went digging the local spots and found that the most productive goal scoring tactic in the game was Lisa's 4x4x2 Spider (diamond). A bit like Knapp's Phantom Menace but with more goal scoring because the change in the FW roles (Pressing,Attack from Knapp into AdvForward from Lisa). I then modified a few things in that tactic and came up with something... I'm using a 3x5x2 based on that. I've pulled the DLP into a 3rd CB with the Libero,Attack role. The other two CB are BPD with Wide intruction. The two WB became WB in their WB position, up in the field. This way I defend with a 5x3x2 and develop into a 3x5x2. Sometimes I feel there are many bodies behind the line of the ball but it gives the consistency the tactic needs. In mid, two symmetric BtB Mids with Wide instruction. In #10 an Attacking Playmaker with Support. I've tested a number of roles here, even Enganche. I feel none is better than AP because, well, it's the best of the worst. And I tell that because that player sometimes has 6.5 in a game with a lot of 7's or he has a 7.5 in a game where he is the key of the attack. Is pretty inconsistent but I'd rather have a body in that space in this tactic regarding the type of instruction. I feel the AP support is the best one since he covers a lot of space in both off and def transitions. And being a Playmaker dictates some plays with two BtB behind. Up front two Advanced Forward because, as Zee tells here it is the right instruction for a goal scorer in this game. I've used several lone strikers with several instructions... since DLF, F9, Complete Forward (a disgrace in this match engine as Zee pointed out)... then I started pairing with different roles. That... does not work. I thought the big striker + small striker would work but... no. No matter who you play. Either go 2x PressAttack and have a mobile and energetic duo that needs someone behind or in the wings to be a scoring threat or play the 2x AdvFW and grab some powerful ones and get on with it. In my FC Porto save, Aboubakar and Marega are the best AdvFW for me. And I even grabbed the Edouard portent... but Aboubakar even being shy in stats gets to be the best goalscoring element in the team. And I've used several tactics, even this one, with several instructions even the DLF that Abou is natural at. But not as efficient as AFW. So yes, that striker role is, as I might see from my experience, the only good option in this match engine. As for the rest... Mez's were good in FM19 but here... dunno, I can't squeeze as much performance as I can from the BtB. The BtB are the all-terrain that a team needs and when in a short midfield like mine, having them Wide is the key. The only negative aspect is that sometimes both of them will press the same player. But that's a flaw in FM match engine. The rest, defense and whatnot, is not that relevant in this version as it was in previous. Dunno why but I had the best defensive records with this 3x5x2 as I had with 4x2x3x1 and this 4x3x3 version as well. The only difference I've seen in all tactics is the offensive output and goals scored. And of course, possession. TL;DR, check out Lisa's Spider 4x4x2 to see real goalscoring. And work from there. I changed from an AC Milan that was winning 1-0's with 4x3x3 dual Mezallas to winning 4-1's with Spider 4x4x2. Then I adapted it to my style and playing with 3 CB's and I'm consistent with 3-0's over the season.

[@StuOrWhatever]

The amount of random bits I'm still finding out like 2000 hours in because of your channel.. I feel like they need to make lots of this information way more visible. Play for set pieces etc needs to be tweaked to play for particular set pieces for example - they kick it out for corners every 3 seconds but rarely get fks. Would love to tweak tactics to suit style even more. Cheers for this!
