In the Europa League I also rested a lot of players, we got to the semi-final but the journey ended there. Nothing much to report in the cups, played a severly weakened team and got knocked out early to Chelsea and Fulham. Results got better as the season went on, from mid December we only lost two games and became more consistent. Best FM 2016 Tactics: ResultsĪ fantastic season for West Ham, winning the league with 86 points.

STLC – complete forward (attack) – Have your best finisher/goalscorer here and a striker who can create goals and pass as the DLF. STRC – deep lying forward (support) – Scores a load and will provide a lot for the other striker as well. These are basically inside forwards with a much deeper starting position, they create goals and havoc for the opposition but also chase back and help the defence.ĪMC – shadow striker (attack) – Will chip in with goals and assists, must be able to finish and provide key passes, look for finishing, composure, vision and passing. Use a right footed player for left side and vice versa. MR/ML – wide midfielder (attack) – Probably the most important players in the tactic. However if you have a small budget and an average GK he will be fine, I would spend the budget elsewhere.ĬD – central defender (defend) – Obviously the usual defensive attributes are important, try to make sure you have some pace back there as well as it really helps alot.ĭM – defensive midfielder (defend) – Important attributes include workrate, teamwork, positioning, tackling and strength etc.ĬM – central midfielder (support) – Quite important player, he is essentially in midfield on his own at times so must get through a lot of work and have the ability to help out the defence and support the attack. GK – goalkeeper (defend) – Usual attributes here, get the best one you can. Defensively we dropped a little deeper to try and remain solid but also closing down at times and preventing the opposition from playing out from the back through their GK. We tried to pass the ball short and play out from the back because too many long balls from the back wasting possession was frustrating me. I have tried to not over complicate things here. The team instructions were fixed as above for the entire season and they are very simple really. The midfielders will also chip in some some goals and bags of assists especially the AMC (Payet) who got 26 assists in 44 starts. As the name of the tactic suggests the front two are goal machines, during the course of the season in all competitions my strikers banged in over 100 goals between them. The rest of the players or the front 6 create and score the goals while also making some contribution defensively. The back three and defensive midfielder provide the main defensive roles and are instructed to close down less to try and stay in shape and solid by not getting pulled out of position. The formation is a and was based upon Tinkerman’s Magical 3-1-3-3 from FM 15. Tactic testing has been completed with West Ham during first season, winning the league by 7 points!! Best FM 2016 Tactics: Formation It will get you plenty of goals from your front two – hence the name ‘double trouble’ – plus exciting football. It is definitely a challenge to create decent tactics but I have got one for you here.

Welcome to our latest FM 2016 tactic, I hope your all enjoying this year’s game.
