What Should You Look for When Choosing a Football Manager 24 Tactic?

Playing Philosophy

After looking at your squad, the first thing you need to decide is your playing philosophy. Defensive football, or offensive football?

Playing Style

After deciding on your playing philosophy, what you need to do next is settle on a style that fits your squad. For example, fast attacking, passing game…

Formation

If your formation choice doesn't fit your playing style, you'll never be able to play the game you have in mind. For example, expecting overloads up front in a 5-4-1 setup would be a mistake.

Player Roles

You should evaluate the players in your squad based on their skill sets and assign roles accordingly. If you give a target man role to a weak, slight player, you won't get results from him. To get good results, you need to know your players well and give them the right role.

Some Football Manager 24 (FM 24) Playing Styles

FM 24 Best Playing Styles: Possession Football

In this tactic, we patiently try to move into the opponent's half with short passes. When we lose the ball, we press to try to win back control of it. As a formation, you can use a wide 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-3.

FM 24 Best Playing Styles: Gegenpress

Gegenpress aims to win the ball back the moment it's lost. After winning the ball, instead of a slow build-up, you attack with a fast attacking plan. The most important detail to watch in this tactic is your players' physical condition. If your team isn't physically strong, you shouldn't use gegenpress. The formations you can use are a diamond 4-4-2 and a wide 4-2-3-1.

Parking the Bus

The goal of this playing style is to avoid conceding. The whole team drops behind the ball and defends. It's used with formations like 5-1-2-2, 5-4-1, 5-3-2.

FM 24 Best Playing Styles: Organized Counterattack

An effective tactic you can use against teams that are stronger than you and play offensive football. While the opponent has the ball, your team defends carefully, and when you win the ball back, your players attack the opponent's goal quickly and in an organized way. The 4-4-1-1 and 4-4-2 formations suit this tactic.

Vertical Tiki-Taka

Similar to the possession-based tactic, but not the same. In this playing style, while passing the ball, you attack vertically toward the opponent's goal. When the ball is lost, you try to win it back with intense pressing. As a formation, you can use a diamond 4-4-2, 4-1-4-1 DM, and similar setups.
