Anyone fancy trying out a tactic?
Tactic is here -

It's a combination of cragswfc's version of the Il Devasto tactic found some where in
here and the use of laffles legends positions. Specifically Pele in the STL position (
here) and Lothar Emmerich in both wing positions (
here). The Il Devasto tactic is easily the best I've ever used for this game (FM11).
Match prep - Team blend & very high until everything is fluid, and then just normal or what ever the default is on team blend.
Team talks - 'You have faith' before matches, then what ever at half time or just Ass man if winning.
OI - This is where I am not sure, against bigger teams, Chelsea, City & Man U I find using Ass man works fine. Other teams just pin point there strongest players.
Corner takers - Right footed takes left sided, left footed takes right sided corners.
Player roles
STR - This is a poacher, so acceleration, pace, finishing, first touch, technique, dribbling, composure and maybe anticipation & positioning / off the ball. Pretty much all you need to worry about.
STL (Pele role) - Complete all around forward or AMC. Think Kaka, Rooney, Rossi, Neymar, Torres. Dribbling, finishing, first touch, passing (big must), technique, creativity, decisions.
In laffles thread he says about playing this person as the target man (to feet) & playmaker. I'm having mixed success with doing that at the moment.
Just a hint if you can, buy Hamsik and re-train him as a striker. Play him in the Pele role or poacher position and you'll be laughing. He can become one of the best in the game.
WR & WL (Emmerich role) - Right footed on left and left footed on right. Position to cut inside a lot, but you still want good crossing, obviously dribbling, passing (big must), technique, acceleration, pace, decisions, creativity is also good. Think Hulk, Sanchez, Young, Ronaldo
DCL - This is the default position for the best headering player. They attack near post.
I'll post some of my results and screenshots later on when I get back home.
