My Favorite Tactic for FM20
Ойындар
I believe we have made it far enough along in Football Manager 2020’s life cycle that I can answer this question conclusively: I have my favorite tactic for FM20. This is not an end all, be all tactic, but a way of aligning your tactical mind that gives you the best chance to win. In the streamer showdown, Football Manager’s premier competitive event I guess, it is the most common tactic on display. Seemingly, this proves my point, but I have had great success running it in all of my saves this year.
One of the most important things for a tactic is to preserve versatility throughout the season. This wide 4-3-3 does just that. But, I will not link it for you. Tactics in football manager seem to be a sticking point for a lot of people in my DMs, so consider this video part tactical breakdown, part guide. There is no exact way to line this tactic up to win unless you consider your own teams strengths, so do that.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

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
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.

Yeah that's what I ended up doing eventually.
Zealand is actually the only man in this world that i can watch head bobbing for 3 minutes without losing focus or getting bored
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.
Bobbing my head with Zea's. We be vibing.
The commitment for the intro is unreal, love it!
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 KZreadrs that explain things better than you but you do it funny and unique and thats why i love your channel
Best intro you’ve ever had, watched and enjoyed and dope track my friend. Very well done 👍 amazeballs
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!
Idk what people are talking about, your intros are the best!
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.
I just had to watch it and make sure you kept your word for those minutes. LOVE IT
Hey man, your videos are really insightful. Keep up the good work!!

Enjoyed this, Zealand. I'm also in the "less is more" camp for instructions as I like to react to what's happening on the pitch. More difficult to figure out what to change if your instructions are really detailed and specific, but each to their own of course.
I would def love to see more head bobbing! And those final parts of it! It was absolutely awesome Zealand!
I actually like the intro. Puts me in the right mood right away
Best intro ever. Keep it up, man :)
If we could get an 8 hour video of Zealand bobbing along to some jams, that would be ace. Would really help me get through the work day. THANKS!
Dude i don't even remember what happened after minute 3:13, for me the video ended at that moment and I have to admit that I loved it. Great job Reece!
Loved Reece's intervention in the head bobbing intro
that intro was so nice had to watch it twice
best start to a video yet
I need a 10 hour version of this 0:31 😂 Reece get on it!!
One of the better intros, seconded only by the Youth Development one (with the Columbia save) :3
Your sense of humour stat is Wonderkid level. 👏🏻
I promise you! Best intro ever! !! Hahahaha you look like an npc in dance dance revolution 😭😭😂😂😂 let’s go!!
So imagine that being the first video I watch for you loooool !! I subbed just found you cheers bro
Love the head bobbing just need to make head bobbing models of you for the merchandise and I'd 100% buy it one with glasses and one without keep up the good work big z
This quarantine is getting to everyone hahaha...btw best intro ever... keep up the good work
I've been bumping my head with you for the past 2 minutes.. And I'll do it again !
I was also bopping my head to the music
I’ll never say no to seeing my favorite youtuber vibe!
Best ever intro to yt vid. Ever. Fact.
Thank you for this video! It is a big help for my tactics.
Head bopping Zealand! 🙌🙌🙌
I only watched the intro yet, and this is officially my favourite video on KZread.
I love these types of videos.
hahah kinda new here but i will never unsub, due to the intro and the backstory. top lad.
Only just discovered your channel recently but these intros kill me everytime 🤣🤣
I'm liking just for the intro (but also the rest of the video)
Great Vid Zealand
Every once in a while I come back to this video, just to watch its epic intro 😄
Got back to FM recently after 3 years of not playing the game and your videos have not only helped me out, but I also found myself enjoying your content and you've earned a subscription. Keep up the good work man, you're definately the most entertaining FM content creator. I need an inverted winger/inside forward on the left with a right foot, thats capable of being world class and has excellent finishing, any suggestions?
Best intro. Subscribed
The Intro is a mastetpiece
I skipped a minute in and got confused and had to go back haha. love you z
100% the best intro to a video I have ever seen in my life hahahahaha
Amazing "fuck it I do what I want" intro, love it
WHAT A CONTENT CREATOR
Spent alot of time this year using a 442 diamond bc I'm greedy when buying strikers😂 recently went back to 433 and was also abusing the cross to back post for the winger lol. Love the videos keep up the good work🤙🏻
Love you, Zealand. Never change.
After all of these cracy Knap and RDF Tactics this Video was like medicine. Thank you ❤
Need a 20 minute video of head bobbing, that was not enough, I need more.

Man what a nice shots in this music clip. You are Such talented even you have TV auditon voice.
Best video so far, ngl
Best three minutes of my life !!!
That intro. Genuinely brilliant.
Best intro to anything ever
the head bobbing made me sub, lmaoooooo. first time I’ve commented in months too
Nice beat! Next include your hands :D Also I really like your intros
This intro is why i love zealand
The Zealand montage was gorgeous
The beginning is the best 3 minutes I've spent on KZread
Best ever 3.13 minutes intro on KZread ever
Omg! First time here and I almost peed my pants with that head Bobbing! Kudos mate
I did the head bobbing part with you, the music was sick. Next time do it with your foot as well, to enchance the experience (add a foot cam too, at this point, why not?) *10/10 would recomend*
As well as the 4-3-3, I’ve had a lot of joy with the 5-2-1-2, especially when my wingers are not performing, having a libero at CB is key as well
we need a ten hour edit of the head bobbing.
Great video. Gotta give a shout out to Lisa's 433 Terminator V2 tactic. Once you have 100% familiarity, it's... wow. just wow
This guy's cracks me up!
God damm this is my favorite intro yet.
I thought you were joking about the 3 min intro but you actually did it! 😀
LOL!!!! I love the intro!!
If it wasnt for every next zealand video i watch, this would be the best intro ever!!
That intro alone deserved the like I gave this video.
I really enjoyed the intro
best first 3 mins of a youtube video ever
I love this formation and almost always play it. Mezzala or Advanded playmaker, box to box and a deep lying or def. midfielder. Complete striker, always. Works wonders for me. Also, false nine with 2 inside forwards ... often saves me from hard defenses.
What a vibe🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those first few minutes... Reece is a legend
Sick I’ve been using this since fm 19... also I always try to stray away from my most comfortable tactic which is this 433 or 4-3-2-1 but I usually revert here because of how versatile it is
Loving the head bobbing 😂 You got them guys fucking done!
Best 3 minutes of my life
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.
Sick music video tbf
Man, can't believe it took 30 seconds to get to the head bobbing - get on with it!
The music is lit brooooo!
Fantastic start to the episode, could you do a full 20 minutes like that or would you be too exhausted? my 2.5 yr old daughter loved it! the head bobbing helps her FM training. She gets furious (swearing like a sailor) when her wingers dont square it for her STKR, when he is totally free for a tap in, any tips for her?
Zealand, your videos are great. I've learned so much. But I've got to tell you this. You don't have to play narrow. Your wingers will get into the box regardless. The width option tells your player how wide to use the space. By playing wide you force your opponent to defend wider than they intended, and open up space like the channels to create more space for your strikers or forward running midfielders to use. That's why by default, attacking tactics are wider and defensive tactics are narrower. Think about when you play counterattacking strategy, you may want to play narrow and fast, drive the ball center and forward upon winning the ball and let you fast strikers to chase, if you play wide in this situation, your players will consider passing the ball out wide, this will slow you count down.
Love the attribute tests....would that sort of thing be feasible for TRAITS, as well? I've had players with "likes to round keeper",but i don't know if it ACTUALLY helps them score more, or I just blindly believe it does.
Nice video! You have mentioned that you like to employ a HB/Anchor man/DLP in the DM position, but why not a defensive midfielder?
