FM 2015 tactics Tinkerman's Magical

Hi guys

Welcome to my latest tactic in the series. If you have been trying to master three at the back, this is the tactic for you. Testing has been carried out with West Ham and the Premier League was won in the first season scoring a staggering 128 goals along the way. Many of the goals were scored from brilliant attacking play making it a pleasure to watch the magical 3-1-3-3 in action.

Best FM 2015 Tactics: Formation

The tactic as stated already is in the shape of 3-1-3-3. The back three central defenders are protected by the ball wining midfielder. These four players generally remain in defensive positions when attacking. Then we have the three midfielders, two wide midfielders and one central midfielder. All three contribute a lot going forward both in terms of assists and goals. Then we have the front three who cause pure devastation in the opposition defence.

Best FM 2015 Tactics: Team Instructions

The magical 3-1-3-3 uses a control mentality and fluid team shape. This was maintained for all matches including home, away and tough opposition. Generally this tactic dominates possession, we had the highest average possession in the league (55%). I feel this is mainly due to the control mentality and team instructions to work the ball into box and play out of defence which also creates fantastic football to watch with many goals coming from great passing moves. The rest of the team instructions are self explanatory.

Best FM 2015 Tactics: Player Roles

GK — goalkeeper (defend) — standard goalkeeper

CD — central defender (defend) — typical central defenders as ever, tackling, positioning, strength and heading are key attributes, I suggest playing your centre back with the most pace in the centre as he may be best placed to make recovery tackles and will have the pace to get there.

DM — ball wining midfielder (defend) — This guy will stay deep when attacking, a very important player in the team who has a lot of work to do defensively. Important attributes are tackling, positioning and work rate.

CM — central midfielder (support) — Gets up and down the pitch contributing to defence and attack, must have a good engine ability to run all game. Will chip in with a few goals.

RM/LM — wide midfielder (attack) — lots of goals and assists from these two players, the ability to score and create is important. They are out wide on their own so should also have high levels of work rate and team work.

ST — deep lying forward (support) — these two players will drop into midfield, pick up the ball and look to play in the other strikers or wide midfielders. They will also chip in with a few goals.

ST — advanced forward (attack) — a goalscoring machine, put your best finisher here, ideally he will have reasonable pace and off the ball movement as well. Sakho scored 39 goals from 31 games in this role. He missed a few games due to the African cup of nations and injury.

A fantastic season for the Hammers, winning the title with 93 points. A total of 128 goals scored is fantastic. We did concede quite a few but at the end of the day, its the results that matter, 30 wins from 38 games is a great achievement.

Player Stats

The stats above show just how well the players performed in the tactic and pretty much self explanatory.

Results with Juventus

I wanted to have a look at the tactic in a top team in another country to check it’s performance. I was pretty happy with the results. See the league table below, after the first 10 matches. A 100% win record and lots of goals scored. Crucially the defence performed very well suggesting that with a good squad and good defenders, good defensive figures can be achieved. Higher quality players also exert more control of the game hence less opportunities for the opposition.

    What was your Starting XI in Juventus save?

      Just the usual suspects, made no transfers. Buffon, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellllini, Vidal, Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Asamoah, Llorente, Tevez, Morata.

    2 questions-1)who is carlos in your team? You bought carlos fierro? 2)who is set to take corners-the same as in previous your tactics-wing backs? thx.

    i see your wide midfielders are similar to wing backs-attack, like in strikeforce tactics. Thus most wing backs like kaderabek fit to this role. Also Kaderabek is a wing back. Correct?

      Yes most wing backs should be able to play rm if they are trained to do so. But it will depend how versatile they are.

    Thanks for another great tactic.I have made a small tweak in my games to reduce the goals Agains.
    Before every game i manual set the left DL striker to man-mark the opponents MCR player.
    Then he falls down to mark the MCR when opponent have the ball… and goes back to the top when the team have he ball.
    Works great for my team.

      Sounds like a good tweak Kenneth :)

    well i was doing something simillar and with a couple of changes in my tactic that I included from yours I have found a beautiful combination that works great for me (better than mine before , and better than yours that I have tried for 15 or so matches). The differences are — no CM(s) , instead of him Regista on DM position. The attackers are two F9 + AF instead of DLF + AF and it’s control+standard instead of control+fluid. Also I have retain possesion and use ofside orders + orders for my WM’s to shoot more (but that is because they have good LS). Very simmilar but still a little different aproach. Didn’t bring me as much goals as your tactic but it gave me lower goals recieved and a little better possesion.

    This tactic is just ridiculously good.I did remove the tight marking and hard tackling from all my players as it was causing too many yellow/red cards and penalties and also was conceding quite alot with my Liverpool boys.Other than that is just incredible.Nice work buddy.
