This is the first FM where I decided I'd create my own tactic from scratch and just go with it (it usually never works) and these videos have been a big help! I now play my own version of a 343 with one of my wide players as an advanced playmaker, he seems to create so many chances and having my wing back stay super wide he always has so much space to run into! I'm trying to win the Seria A with Sampdoria so these videos are a great help!

Sven Bender at Dortmund was my favorite player back when they won two Bundesliga Titles. He wasn't a fancy passer, he basically scored no goals, but his work rate and mentality was amazing. Love such players :)

Zealand & RDF are two of the best out there. Supremely helpful & well articulated.

Really dig this colab. Two of my favorite FM content creators.

I find that having a very tall and strong Halfback with instructions to always mark the main striker tight and with hard tackles paired with high pressure and high line disrupts the counter very well.

you can tell this was filmed Pre-Headphone Break, truly the end of an era

I had just played against Flamengo, best team at Rio de Janeiro, with my Fluminense. I've had lost the first game on the league against them. I have lost the first-leg game against them at the semi-final. So, I came back here for some inspiration and was pleased to discover your partnership with RDF, whom I watch constantly. And I saw this video and tried the stamina, work rate and all midfielder. It worked. I've won the second-leg game using it. Thanks, guys.

My main grip with FM is that all of these suggestions (even the ones in the first video) should be player/team specific but yet it's an all-size-fits-all. Every team no matter the talent level will have good results using these instructions. For example, passing into space with a team that's not good at passing should result in very inaccurate passing but in the current state of the game, you'll be lucky to have a game where your passing % is under 80%...

They literally said in the video that these aren't 100%........FM is a highly situational game, with thousands of outcomes, if youre only allowed to talk about tactics that are 100%, youd make zero content. Most people should be intelligent enough to know nuance and actually watch the video, so when they hear "if you dont have pace, you dont want to pass into space" the lightbulb in their brain might go off as to when they should apply this tactic. Maybe you just missed that bus.

A world class collaboration! Great video. I have been rather concerned about the use of Counter press and higher level of triggers as I had heard it wears the players out. So, when I do use it, I do have it on for about 60 minutes then turn it off. But there have been games when I wasn't getting the break-through and kept it on longer, but that is probably a problem with the tactic itself. I wonder if it would be possible for you both to stream a match where one uses a tactic that has all the bad parts in, and the other uses a tactic with the good stuff in. Mind you, it could be a bit like Burnley v Man City.

Can confirm all accurate

I started playing with a team that I thought was pretty average or even below-par.. surprisingly my tactics went much better than what I expected and won the leage right away in the first year. now I come to realise that I happened to have all 5 things you just mentioned.

Used a few of RDF's tactics that have literally saved my save! Glad he looks more comfortable here!

Love this pairing. RDF just looks like he is enjoying himself so much every time I watch one of his videos and always informative and Zealand is just his usual top quality self. The new Batman and Robin?????😀

Loving these videos. Would be great to see something on game management/match plans.

Nothing better than a Zealand and RDF collab

RDF is such a lovely fella. Please make more videos with him.

Incredibly helpful, again.

The point about sexy football and lowering workload while winning resonates. As I constantly want to try and get more in games which means my players are worked harder.

Please keep that good work up. I love to watch you guys 🐴

You two are the dream team, I love your videos!

Personally i use often pressing, without counter-pressing(but without regroup) and standard or slighlt lower pressure line and it works pretty well. But i play pretty middle oriented tactic, 4-3-1-2 with wide midfielders and inverted wing backs and we play more narrow so naturally we have many players in the middle so we don't need to pressure oponnent so much - much better works for us if we keep our lines more cloesely to each other.

We need more videos with you two!

Kieffer Moore and Dan James both being mentioned in this video is eerie lol. In my Holstein Kiel save I was planning to use them both in a front three after signing James for cheap. But then Moore was sniped by Gladbach via his 3 million release clause :/ F

I really like basing tactics off of a Pep style thing and I am planning on trying something where I use standard pressing for the first 15 kinutes, switch to slightly higher, then after halftime come at them har

RDF seems so wholesome! I’m a year late but subscribed. Thank you for the tips

RDF is just amazing keep em coming

I won the Premier league with Southampton on my first season in FM22. Used a 4-3-3 formation gegenpressen I made from scratch and few tweaks when needed. Adam Armstron as inside forward attack and was my best player along James Ward Prowse as mezzala support on the left hand side of the midfield.

Best video on KZread if you ask me. What a guy that Zealand is as well 💚🤣

I started watching rdf last year when my tatics werent working. Now in fm 22 im able to make my own tatics and have them work effectivly and when my tatic isnt working with the players im more willing to make slight changes or even major changes in how i play in order to fit the team.

RDF is so wholesome. Hope he and Z do more videos together!

Great video! Whats the skin that you are using?

I use less then standard trigger press in some tactics and gotten some of my best and most surprising results with it. A memorable 7-1 win vs AC. Milan in season 1 at home as Bologna, 4-1 win away to FC Bayern in CL in same save season 2. Unless you are among the best teams in you league and never a big underdog trigger less as team instruction absolutely have a place.

I feel like pass into space only generally works against weaker teams and can give the ball away a lot depending on the opponent's formation. Like I'll never use pass into space against a 3-5-2 formation or 4-3-3 DM holding formation. I find what works best is to have a CAM and a CM with good passing and the trait try killer balls often so they'll decide when to play that deadly through ball into space on the counter.

Love RDF!

Grate content 🔥

Can we get tactics that are flexible next? Like work into the box. Find pass into space a bit iffy, even will every advantage slow defenders, fast forwards, great cohesion its far from guaranteed. Find regroup more useful against the bigger overpowered teams than counter press. Don't like extreme pressing but seems to be working better than lowering it down a notch

What's the music in the background in the start of the video? Sounds so 80's, and I like it!

Great video, nice guest, but Hendo can play amazing long balls and decisive passes.

Another great video

if in the pre-game info dump, one of my players is saying they're afraid because their matchup is too strong, you might as well have fielded just 10 instead of 11. So yeah the relative strength thing seems to be decisive in FM22 in my experience.

You might have done this already but if you haven't could you do a vid about Mental attributes and how they translate on the pitch?

MORE CONTENT WITH RDF

Everytime I see a video that praises a pacey winger, I feel proud of myself for making Daniel James a regular starter on my Leeds save lol

You call them space eaters, I call them Destroyers because they are there to hound the opposition and disrupt play. So vital in any midfield, my favourite atm is Gagliardini plays for Inter Milan and is cheap but perfect for this role and always seems to pop up with a few goals too.

I'm sadly a lowly console scrub atm and that in itself is frustrating as you can't load the whole game (even though the hardware would run it well enough you can only load 10 leagues, and I honestly wouldn't even mind some extended loading times for the ability to scout Africa and some other regions properly). Aside from that there's none of the training/team meeting/hierarchy options and that hugely limits your ability to train your youth into anything meaningful or create the cohesion or tactical understanding you'd like. I still enjoy the game but I'm going to have to invest in a pc to get the full experience and that sucks. ETA; I saw RDF in the first installment of this and went off to check out his content and loved it - really insightful tactical thinking and planning.

Space eaters: Im a Newcastle United fan, the striker who went to be one of the best box to box/ ball winning/central midfielder attack player in the EPL, Joelinton. I don't thinl there is a description for this kind of a player in football manager.

If I'm at a good team I prefer to play violently attacking football. So I will have quick players with the work rate attributes and less technically brilliant players. 5-2-3 or 5-3-2 with Leverkusen was my go to formation and I became a European beast. My Wing Backs became creative monsters

Perfect player for the ‘Space eater’ role is Soucek

Seriously i need some help. I dont understand this game. I mostly play a 4231 tactics. I guess im old school and really like the idea with an OM as the star player that really impacts the game. The problem is my defense. I never really seem to get it under control. I almost always play teams that are underdogs or midtable. It feels like im trying everything. Drop low with defense and engagment line, press really high and so on. They either cross over my defense or play one-twos to the stricker depending on how i put the settings. Im like clueless

Never put someone with 17+ Aggression on tackle harder

Also be aware of the quality of the defenders. Sometimes you have a fast striker, the opponent is pressing high but they have super fast defenders with some aerial quality aswell so the quality of the pass needs to be higher to make sure the defender cant get to it.

I chose them because I wanted something different and have fond memories of a Championship Manager save I had with them in the late 90s... xD I wasn't prepared for the outstanding loans the club has at the start of the game - £36m total, £24m+ outstanding at a repayment of £1.1m per month! o.o' I had to get creative with freebies and loans but they honestly had a pretty good squad to work with at the club and were predicted to finish 8th with a board objective top half finish. We were grinding wins all season one game at a time and before I knew it we had thrown away a 15pt lead to just 5pts by the split and just got the first one over the line. Champions League group qualification second season made all the difference to build with and I brought Matías Arezo in for a cheap boost of huge value goals.

The higher line and pressing basically works for any team if your tactic is well disposed. The reason it works is that if you are a worse team your chance of scoring from regular play is really low, but if you manage to dispossess to opponent high up you have a chance for a fast counter while they are out of position. And once you get a goal morale usually goes up making your players do better on the pitch. I wouldn't try to pass into space too much if your team is way slower than the rest of the league. Go to Squad>Assistant report and check how your team compares to the rest of the league and go from there. But if you are playing 6th division its really easy to sign players for free that are good enough to win you promotion. Just go to Scouting>Players>Player search and add condition Contract status Expired. Click the check box Interested in transfer and sort by WR (world reputation). Now go through the top 30 players and ask them to join you for trial for 2 weeks. Once they arrive at your training facility you get basic scouting information on them and keep getting more through their trial. You can terminate any trial that you find too bad once you start seeing their stars and stats. Those that are good enough you sign permanently. You'll get loads of 3-5 star players this way and even young talent that you can keep with you all the way to Division 3-4. For example Dylan Thompsson is usually a solid CB that keeps developing all the way to division 3-4 and he should be without contract if you have a new save. Solid signing for Div 6.

Every time I play someone with a 12 in passing - they better cover ground because they are giving away turnovers :( Maybe in the Prem, it's more like 14 or 15. 12 passing? I just see them kick the ball right to the defender 10 feet in front of them.

I love the video, it seems they have very good knowledge of the abilities needed to play gegenpress only. I'll have to say that there are no general abilities you should have for all tactics. There are general abilities you should have for a tactic. Note: "all tactics" and "a tactic" are not the same. The players you have dictates the most effective tactics for the team.
