i have been trying to try and make a tactic using the 451 formation that i use on fifa, but i am having great difficulty in doing this as i cant seem to get it to be successful.
(note: i tried signing players that would play well in my style of play, i.e quick cbs so i can play a high line, defence was going well, but attacking i created little chance)

also, whatever formation/ position i play cazorla in, he always plays bad, any1 had any success using him?

I think the reason it won't work is it is too attacking really. 5 attacking players and 1 holding midfielder won't work well imo, but it's your tactic :)
I used to use this on FM12 with AC Milan, try it with one of your AMs as a trequartista.

but as i said, defensively its solid, but attacking, the just have no idea what to do :/ AMS dont seem to get any of the passes going to the wing or the strikers :/
Could you post screenshots of your team instructions and any specific player instructions? They're much more important than the positions of the players on the pitch.
iv not got the saved game with that team any more :/ got the formation but not sure on how to upload, if you could tell me how i can upload it onto here, then you can have a look at it in game and possibly tinker with it too

Hi,
I would suggest the following to change that into 1 awesome tactic, I have tested with Fulham with a few tweaks and it works very well even with a small squad as well as a big squad.

Make sure it is Fluid before making any conclusions.

1. Change TM / Attack to a Advanced Forward / Attack
2. Change AM / Support to a Treqaurtista / Attack
3. Change DLP / Support to a Anchor Man / Defend
4. Change GK / Defend to a Sweeper Keeper / Defend
5. Style / Very Fluid & Strategy / Attacking
6. Passing Style / Shorter
7. Creative Freedom / More Expressive
8. Closing Down & Tackling / Default
9. Marking / Zonal Marking
10. Crossing / Default
11. Roaming / More Roaming
12. Specific Instructions / All at default settings except for width / Narrow (all the way to left)
13. Playmaker / Trequartista Position - Leave unticked (unless it chooses AP then tick and change to Trequartista
14. Target Man / None - leave unticked
15. Target Man Supply / mixed - leave unticked

Special Instructions:
1 / All Players have No Long Shots instructions.
2 / All Players Maximum Pressing and Closure (This includes Treqaurtista)
3 / No Opposition Instructions or shouts / we want the team to adhere to tactical instructions at all times
4 / Recruit only 3* players or better potential
5 / Sell all 2 1/2 * players potential or less
6 / Never play injured players or start with injured subs EVER even if this means short of subs
7 / Players with rest symbol you can play but give them a rest from training for 1 week
8 / Never send players on Holiday as they mostly 90% of the time never come back and play as good as they were before they leave just give them a week rest from training instead.

Try it now with my changes and I hope it works as it did for me. :)

Cheers,

your assistant manager probably say's ''your midfield is being overrun''....cazorla and wilshere judging by your picture are not in their natural positions...where they will be more effective ,the target man needs a partner perhaps try Cazorla as a inside forward rather than a advanced playmaker ,cazorla will play better if you use ''advanced playmaker'' under team instructions ...
This is a difficult formation, I don't think its solid enough in all areas, or easy to control your players in a way of being effective against teams that have a quality advantage over you. Primarily as if their CM's are strong if the AMC don't track back Bender is the only thing stopping them from your backline, and although Bender is good if their CM's are strong in quality your cover is low. Although this is more against teams that try to hold onto possesion.
