yeah... u will never catch me offside! bcos my strikers are all too slow to run! :))
Honestly I quite like your tactic. It's definitely one worth keeping. As the seasons progress and all the Singaporean users start making some good tactics and stuff you'll need to start making new one's to counter your opposition and such. It's definitely one to keep to surprise the opposition.
I don't think it's a 'solid' base tactic. I do think it's well made and well thought out but there are a couple of areas that you can improve to make a tactic that you can rely on.
Defensively, if you're worried about the 3 at the back I'd just put a 4th in obviously. But what you can do is simply sit your defence a bit deeper. Once your defence is sitting deeper you're a bit vulnerable in the space between the defence and the midfield. It might be an idea to drop your 2 central midfielders much further back and have them sitting quite deep, but make sure they can both tackle. If you only have one player with the ability to play in that role (a good midfielder with enough tackling to break up attacks) then just sit the one man there. I'm really undecided on the usefulness of attacking midfielders in Sokker. Many people use them but I personally haven't had much success with them. I actually think they cramp the space of the strikers, very rarely shoot and I've found that they're less likely to make good through balls. So it might be an idea to play with 2 centre mids and 1 defensive mid. Having 3 players (DM, CM and AM) in a straight line in your tactic would be very ineffective.
The other thing I've noticed is that your strikers drop too far back. I'd never have them come any deeper than halfway as it's simply not necessary. our midfield drops a bit too deep as well and then pushes too far forward. You don't want to make your players do too much running because, aside from stamina issues, they're simply not going to get to the positions you set in time and they'll get caught in a spot where you don't want them. Try and figure out what sort of role you want each player to do and stick to that. E.g a box to box central midfielder or a very advanced (in terms of forward positioning) winger etc.
Generally though I'm actually really impressed by your current tactic. As a first tactic it's a very good effort :)

Wow! Stormwind beat Exterminatorz! VIC beat Renix! 2 upsets! Or is it a sign of things to come??
Lance thrashed his opponents 7-0! Looks like I will hv difficulty winning LeagueII.03.. Now I hv to contend with Heroes and Lance! This has gotta be the League of death! :(

Shame about these bloody games. I'm really eager to firstly watch my game but I'm keen to see the Singaporean matches. A few teams have created new tactics which I'm keen to take a look at!
Looks like Stormwind got a little lucky against Exterminatorz while VIC got an expected win against Renix. Nice starts for Sokker City and Heroes while Lance had a comprehensive win too!
I'll post up some statistics for you guys.

Someone check out my new tatics... Seems okay but maybe a bit too offensive.But i need all the goal difference i can get.
How is my win expected? Renix has better players than me..
Yeah but his tactic is so flawed defensively. His team isn't THAT much better than yours but your tactics is THAT much better than his :)
Maybe I was the only one who expected it then haha. Either way, well done :)

Nice game with Stormwind.. He had a red card early on while I suffered an injury. Wasn't too pleased with my strikers tho.. I think they forgot to bring their scoring boots.. missed so many 1 on 1 chances..
A draw was a fair result.

Very interesting! A bot is leading the S League! :p
Lance looks very AWESOME in my league! :(

Some very interesting results guys :)
Firstly, let me just say, the tactis implemented by alot of managers are starting to look really impressive. Much stronger than the default one's and a really solid base to work with! I'm sure we'll see a few upsets as stronger teams are beaten by good tactical managers.
In the S-League I thought Exterminatorz were really good value for their win. Definitely need to move your strikers much further up the pitch though Valgan. I'd never drop them below the halfway line and it's rare I even drop mine near the halfway line hehe. Had you played your strikers in more advanced positions I think you would have dominated the game!
Thought VIC UTD were unlucky not to come away with a win. Slaynax put out a very nice formation and his strikers were positioned perfectly in the gaps in Stormwind's formation. This was excellent evidence as to why it's important to keep your defenders fairly close together. Stormwind used a default 3-5-2 and the wider defenders were very ineffective in shutting down VIC's strikers. In saying that, VIC's strikers were very disappointing. Certainly had they more pace and tech it would have been a whitewash but an unlucky draw was the end result.
In League II.03 Sokker City and Heroes both recorded convincing wins. Both probably unlucky not to come away with more goals. Two good quality tactics on display there and two very different styles. Should be an interesting clash in week 6!
Holland United came away with a nice win in II.02 but his strikers were largely disappointing. You know when they're getting tackled from behind by the opponents midfielders their tech is simply not good enough :D! I think xyart might also need a little bit of work on the defence in his tactic but the midfield is looking good :)
Soul FC look good in their 1-0 win over Football4Cast. Really should have scored atleast 5 thoiugh. Once again though Herps was able to employ a nice solid tactic and Football4Cast barely had a sniff.
Nesti went down unluckily to the villers of rothian. A draw or a Nesti win would have been the fair result. But in saying this cakama is only new to the forum and his tactic is still one of the defaults. It's no surprise then that his team didn't really outperform their opposition whom also employed a default tactic.
Best of luck to everyone in the cup :)
