Malaga - Leading to glory

So, hello to all FM-lovers , going to write the story about exciting club , Malaga .
Yes , since last summer they have new owner , who says can challenge Barcelona - Madrid in La Liga competition , so i will help him , on Football Manager to help the glory ..

I use 4 - 4 - 2 flat in first season , try to analyze which tactic is best
[ If you have any recommendation tactics just post it , i'm still thinking which tactics is best , but 442 flat is good so far for Malaga )

Here's the match results so far . Had a bad pre season , and not easy in first 6 games in league

Almunia is old quality goalkeeper ~
11 clean sheets from 18 games on league is very good

thanks OrganizedCulture

and btw anyone can give me recommendation tactics ? 442 Flat is good enough but the Consistency is not good , sometimes i won 8 - 0 , in next game draw , or even lost

Did Real Madrid field a weakened team by any chance?

I'm a fan of 4-5-1 counter (1 DM, 2 CM, AMR, AML and a striker). It's excellent if you have fast wingers and a deep defensive line, as it allows you to hurt better teams on the counter.

Tactics - I tend to build a tactic for an entire club (First team, Reserve and Youth squads) rather than trying to make a squad fit into my 'favoured' tactic. I also try to build at least two tactics, sometimes even three for a club. You need to figure out what works best for your players i.e, Attack, Counter, Defend, rigid setup, fluid etc. Look at what positions you have in your squad i.e WB, DM, MR, AMR etc and build from there. Look back over your good and bad results and make a note of what system you played, when and what player/positional substitutions you made. A must have, to help with all this, is a good tatical assistant manager and a couple of good tactical coaches. Hope this helps...

yes i thought that too , i already have Duda , Bounanotte , Cazorla and Joaquin on Winger , also i wil have Ibrahim Affelay on summer , as i think i will play him as winger

it really helps thanks
yes i'm going to make tactic in second season , as i know my whole team
In my mind , i will build 4-2-1-2-1 ( 2 Defensive Midfielder, Chamacho as Anchor man and Jeremy as DM , 1 CM as DLP , 2 fast winger ( in this option Affelay + Cazorla ) and 1 DLF )

you have recommended tactics ? btw i sign Marc Muniesa , Mathieu Flamini and Alberto Lopo in free transfer as well

Málaga have a interesting team. In a Swedish paper there was this piece about the team and the money they have now. Although they will built long term and make it substantial. But if you make it 2nd place and good next season you should be able to bring in some more muscle. Whats your plans for transfers?

Malaga 8 - 0 Real Zaragoza. Nice numbers

omg, 0-6 against real madrid very good indeed!

what's your transfers budget? so we can help you more on players for your team
