Football Manager 2021 Tactics

Treble with Inter Milan & Arsenal. La Liga win with Betis predicted to finish 9th. European qualification with Fulham and FC Lorient who were both predicted to finish bottom. League win for Dortmund.

An asymmetric 4-3-3, that looks like a 3-4-3, but plays with a solid defence and great passing and movement

This is the blood diamond tactic that plays through the centre direct football.

A very fluid tactic that aims to dominate the ball and scores the most goals through the intelligent movement of the front 4. Solid in defence 100 point tactic.

Three seasons in the making but finally managed to get a successful low block tactic working with some fantastic attacking play.

Tactics puts a lot of emphasis on creating width in the initial phase of build up, as well as freedom and flexibility in the positions and movements of players.

With 1-4-2-3-1 formation Daniel Farke has brought Norwich into direct and breaking line play.

4-4-2 sticking rigidly to this shape and looking for a chance in quick counters. Looking for wide play during fast counterattacks.

A tactic for FM21 to get the best out of a technically gifted players. This narrow tactic went undefeated throughout the season winning the lot.

With Spurs sitting top of the league with three 1-0 wins, we recreate his 4-3-3 and produce the best defensive record in the Premier League.

With Arsenal an absolute shambles at the moment it was time to bring EP2 of my Football Manager series

Using a Libero and a Segundo Volante, this tactic won the Champions League with PSG and also helped a relegation candidate challenge for promotion.

Gegen / High Tempo Tactic. Champions League winning hasn't been easier before!

Great tactic , tested by running the game while going on vacation. So with some tweaks and care this can become a really good tactic.

4-1-3-1-1 tactic with high pressure and very high tempo. Perfect for sub-top teams. Tested with Southampton.

An advanced forward in the lead and two very mobile inside forwards on the wings with additional support from full-backs in the role of wing-backs

3-4-2-1 with two offensive midfielders operating in the offensive third and leaving wings for wing-backs

The end of the FM21 season is near, so are the series on my YouTube channel, so I decided to upload one last tactic.

First tactic in my new Youtube series where I focus on a club and through FM21 pick a tactic and style of play that PSG should go with this season.

This formation won 13 straight titles and a Champions League with Vasas from Hungary and helped them become the greatest team in Europe.

A Vertical Tiki-Taka inspired tactic, 18k passes 61% possession. Treble with Leipzig, Quadruple with City, Double with Napoli and A.Madrid.

Created with FC Rapid in Romania, this formation won 11 straight titles, one Europa League and reached a Champions League final.

Won quadruples with PSG and Man UTD, Doubles with Betis and Milan and the league with Swansea. Betis predicted finish is 9th so I am very happy with this test!!

This 4-2-4 tactic, using a Segundo Volante, is more impressive defensively than you'd imagine and plays beautiful football.

Compact and defensively solid Championship-winning tactic. 100 points with Spurs, with a +95 GD.

Powerful attack from three AM. Crazy performance for West Ham and other strong teams. My best tactic for FM 2021.

A tactic for all leagues and has been successful wherever it was tested. League win with Lyon, Liverpool had a great season and Dortmund won everything.

Replicating the tactics of Xisco at Watford for FM 2021. Control the ball, high press and wide play system with wingers going inside and overlapping full-backs.

Recreating the tactics of Neil Warnock at Middlesbrough for FM 2021. Positionally fluid style of play combined with a high press and build possession from the back.

5-3-2 shape describes this team better when they don’t have the ball and it looks more and more like 3-5-2 building their attacks
