344 GOALS PER SEASON - Randy Marsh Custom Gegenpress Tactics | FM Scout (2024)

@Blaz22 - that's because the game A.I is better and will find a way to get round it if you don't tweak it or update it yourself...

Playing with Bayer Leverkusen, first season won Bundesliga but in second season finished 4th with this tactic. Don't know why it has changed but I'm coneding a lot of goals now. Tactic needs an update

Currently in my fourth season using this tactic and I feel like after the update the tactic started to be less effective. I still score a decent amount but I'm conceding much more and losing more. Maybe we can get a updated version of this tactic?

I will try it. If it works it will be so unrealistic. I mean, 120 goals in premier league ?thats like an average of 3,3 goals per game for 1 player. lol

Hi Randy_Marsh ive been using your tactic and its very good, but my question is "looking at your tactic screenshot it says that one of the midfielders is a DLP but when i load up the game it comes up as a CM ?
Ive not seen a update to your tactic.

I thought this was america!

Brilliant tactic. Back to back promotions with Derby, and romped away with the National League with Wrexham. Paul Mullin bagged 63!!! Not sure why other's teams are conceding so many, as long as everyone has a good work rate and stamina it works perfectly.

who to repleace Kevin De Bruyne ?

Tried this tactic with a normal team ( no cheat ) and leaked goals, didnt score much and after 10 games i had 3 wins 2 draw 5 losses...its not hard to win games when you cheat and make a team like u have..kind of takes the fun out of the game this way as its unreal

Please show screenshots of set piece tactic and player instructions

I started with this, Barcelona, and early doors started well. Hit a shaky patch then doubted the tactics. Read all the comments and changed it. Results were ok at best so switched back. Now gone 22 games unbeaten with 21 wins. Regularly score 4,5 or 6. Top of the league. Super cup win, against Real Madrid in the final. Lewandowski on 59 goals, despite being out for 8 games. Still 10 league games to go. In summary, it works for me.

Just signed in to say that this is a brilliant tactic, scores lots of goals with Benfica and want to congratulate you for this. Keep the good work

@Kirito3801 - I'm a casual player of this game and I proof that this tactic works. I'm in my third season with Leyton Orient and in my first season I won League 2 title(with 105 points) and Papa John trophy. In my second season I won League 1 title with 95 points. I will admit that I don't score as much as advertised but I still score plenty of goals and have the best GF in league. I don't understand why you're hating on this so much and asking for it to be removed.

To sum the discussion up the author of the topic is clearly disingenuous, to put it diplomatically.
Embarrassment number 1 - if you take into account all the competitions in which City participates, it turns out that with 344 goals in a season, the team should score about 5 goals in a match. This is achieved either with xG of about 5 (which requires at least 25 shots on the opponent's goal with a weight of about 0.2, and with an average xG of a shot on goal in FM of about 0.1 - all 50, which already sounds unrealistic), or with a lower number, if an opponent of a significantly lower level plays against your team - conditional Viktoria Plzen (against whom you can still achieve such results in the Champions League, but there are simply no teams of this level in the Premier League).
Embarrassing moment number 2 - tactic, judging by the screenshots, does not look OP. Judge for yourself - this is the most classic arrangement, and quite heavily overloaded with instructions to the team when in possession of the ball. There are several instructions in the tactic itself that contradict both the match engine and the logic of the placement - a flank attack cannot work effectively itself, especially if a FB-Su sits under the IF-Su. Also, with an empty DM zone, there is not a single central midfielder performing defensive functions - and looking at the arrangements of the top teams on the screenshots, one can see the rather frequent use of CAM, which is deadly against such a hole in the defense, based on the logic of the match engine.
Embarrassment number 3 - "killer" tactics in FM-Arena testing always show powerful results. With manual control and a proper understanding of the match engine, success can be achieved with absolutely any tactic (especially when you have Haaland, and then you buy all sorts of Vinicius and Endrick, lol). Testing the tactic in the FM-Arena with poor results tells one thing - the tactic is designed to be hand-crafted to suit the author's play style, it's not the plug and play that most users would expect to see here.
Summarizing the above - based on the analysis of screenshots and results, as well as the experience of playing all versions of FM, starting from 07, I can conclude that this tactic is just the author's favorite tactic, and the statistics for gaining temporary popularity on this resource were twisted through "save-load", or adding managers to the game who will lose matches or sell you top players for a penny. I would like to ask the moderators to remove this tactic from the overall rating, but leave the thread for those who want to read and download it.
