- In today's video we're going to look at how to make a simple, realistic tactic in football manager 24. If you're looking for a hands on approach to what to look for in your squad, hopefully this video can help you out! We go through step-by-step instructions how to make a simple but effective tactic in fm24.
Also, we talk about some of the basics of formations and tactics, including how to use your formation and player roles to make your own play style. And then we talk about how to use (and apply!) team instructions to your formation.
In addition to all that, we go over my match and look at some highlights to see how your tactic is (and isn't) working.

HERE WE GOOOOO! It’s happening, he is getting into tactics🎉!!!
The day has arrived!!
I've been playing FM for 5 years and this is by far the best content on this platform. And its just the beginning !
that really means a lot thank you!!! These are a lot of fun to make so I'm glad that so many have been getting some value out of it
You are heaven sent. I've had this challenge this whole week and couldn't get any solution as good as this on the internet. Thank you.
thank you!! Glad it was able to help you out
I love to see the thought process in your video. I am sick of guides with pre made tactic. I want to learn to be more observant when watching match. Thanks. Good job!
It's funny because this way of tactic building means you won't have as much success (and plenty of failures haha) but it's sooo rewarding. Like when you make a tactical change and score a goal, no better feeling.
Currently the best FM channel on the site
much appreciated thank you!!
Loved the new direction! Been waiting for this! More of the tactics part of the game please and more on the squad evaluation!!!
thanks for the support! Glad you liked the tactics portion; hoping to do more videos on this stuff in the future
What a channel this is!! Amazingly good. Hats off to you!
Thank you!! By the way, I love your comment. This was the first video where I didn't where a hat and you said "hats off to you" hahaha. Unless you did mean to say that??? In which I say kudos to you
Where were you all this time? How are you this good?....you make videos not only great in content but also you explain it that even beginers would understand well
I always try to focus on videos that I would've wanted to watch when I started playing FM. Where people can follow along if they're a beginner, and then adapt to their own style if they're more advanced. And thank you for the kind words and supporting the channel!
Finally!!! Tactics… more of these pleaaaase!!!
the time has come!!
Mate, it's different but one that is much needed for me and maybe for the community, keep em coming!
that's awesome to hear (or I guess awesome to read haha). I'm glad the approach is helping you and others and thank you for the support
perfect timing, I was wondering about this
that's awesome haha, glad the video released at the perfect time!
This was very very good.
Maybe down the line, you could do a video on how to transition from being a counter-attacking team to a possession-heavy team, something like that, if you are willing.
Again, the video is very good. Good job mate.
great idea; usually when I start out a save it's like "hey let's just win a couple matches" haha; and then as the season(s) go on, start bringing in players I want. and thanks for the support!
Great content for beginners to learn how to play FM and understand how to setup their teams.
love to hear this, as that was my hope for the video
Love this kind of video man. I appreciate how simple you explain things.
Thank you for the support and glad you enjoyed the videos! I think there's a saying if you can't explain something in simple terms you don't understand it haha so I always try to have that philsophy with my videos
This is such an excellent and elegant production; love your approach to FM. I'd really like to see more of how you analyze players as that is something I struggle with (mainly playing in lower leagues), and just revert to playing them in natural positions. This feels somewhat lackluster. :/
thank you for the kind words and support! I'll see if I can add stuff like that in more of the future videos. A quick question though: were you thinking like "this player is a natural inside forward on the left but I'm playing him as a winger on the right because...." kinda analysis? Also, this may help in the meantime, but a few of my videos have lower league teams/tactics in them (inverted wingback uses a Canadian Premier league team, and inside forward uses a third division team in Brazil for example)
Absolutely overjoyed to see this video! Your content is concise and presented beautifully! Keep doing what you’re doing man!
I’d love to see this for a top team with pressure to win every match. Crack on with the good work my friend!
Thank you!! Between you and me, I would love to do more top team stuff. If I'm honest though I always have the trepidation of doing it for tactics videos because if it works it's like "yea it works it's Man City" or something hahaha
ow man, i love ur explanation. u give me (we all) freedom to explore. this is what i want from playing this game. keep going, mate!
really glad that the video is helping you and others out!! thank you for the support and enjoying the channel
Very happy to see you do a video on tactics!
It's been a long time coming, but figured it was a good time to start haha
Excellent content mate, this is the way.
I like because you dont use the team comparision as me, but everything has the logical thought behind. One thing I like to do as well is when I look for my 3 best players to build the tactic around, I usually read the coach report, it always gives you a Pro and a Con from the player.
very good tip thanks for sharing. I figured there may be some value in showing how I pick the squad, even though it may not be the most efficient haha
I really like your content for me who has just started playing Football Manager recently.
welcome to the FM community and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!
Best fm channel on YT by a long stretch! Keep up the good work mate
that means a lot, thank you! Happy you're enjoying the videos
Fantastic. Wonderful. I'd LOVE to see you do much longer ones and actually do a save in which you apply your methodical thinking to Manchester United (yup) and show us how you'd go about managing the team and reviving the club.
Really is a shame what happened to Man U. Consinstently missing out on seeing them deep in the Champions League stinks
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker And is heartbreaking for someone like me who's been a fan since 2000.
Really love your videos. A tip about English team names: the emphasis goes on the second word. Luton /town/, not /Luton/ town. Like how you wouldn't say "I'm going to /New York/ City"
Very cool tip, thanks! Always happy find out about proper pronunciations, especially with my thick American accent haha
Oh man, I love your approach on the game and your presentation style.
I am playing so many years and I have learned so much from your channel.
Keep up the good work!
that's so amazing to hear! Really helps me make videos knowing you and others get some benefits to these. Thank you for the support!
Amazing content as always! Best FM channel by far, love how you get into detail and the way you teach things! I’ve been taking notes of all your Role Guide haha! I would love to see a guide of the CM role and the Anchor role in the near future😊 (and of course the DLP)
Thank you for your work! I’m sure the channel will thrive!!!!!
that really means a lot, thank you for the support!! I try to make videos that I want to see so that's kinda where the philosophy comes from. I will say, one of those roles you mentioned may be coming sooner rather than later haha.
Great video. Really nice intro into tactics. I look forward to seeing where you go next.
thanks and thank you for the support!
love it so much, mate!! keep going
Your videos are awesome. This was great to see how you approach tactics. More tactics videos would be good.
thank you! The channel should be have more tactic stuff going forward, combined with the usual player role guides
Been waiting for this. Great video. Will definitely add some of these thoughts into my own process.
thank you!! And that's always my goal with these videos; you guys are free to use (or not use haha) any of my approaches/tactics and pick and choose what works for you.
really enjoyed this, would love to see if you can make a video on how to adjust your tactics/ player acquisition when you get promoted with a dominant team. Another for the future would be how to set up a team in continental competition when your squad is now pretty even in quality, without tactical whiplash between league and cup play.
all great suggestions, thanks! I'll keep those in mind as a develop some more tactic stuff
i have been waiting for your next upload, this is such a great video to start off talking about tactics, and you are 100% right you should always start with no instructions and slowly start to add them after observing your games.
cant wait for next upload and hope you make more videos on this topic, cheers mate!
It's soooo much easier to adjust a tactic without team instructions. If your player does something crazy, you know it's his player role rather than trying to figure out what team instruction is making him do that.
And thank you for the support!
Video was awesome and I will watch anything you care to put out 😊
thanks!! And that means a lot, I guess I know if I ever make a video that's terrible I'll always have at least one view hahaha
Great vid bud, love the style. Both the position vids and the tactics vids are useful. Keep it up.
thank you for the support it means a lot! Really glad this videos and the others are helping out
Thank you so much for the full match notice. There is so much content in the internet of people judging tactics simulating the game... everybody can play a single player game the way they want, but simulation is not playing!!!
On my proper saves I only play on full match highlights. It takes a long time obviously haha, but it allows you to see how the team builds up and if it fails, you can see it happen in real time (and try to fix it)
Plus, when watching the full match, you never know when a goal is going to be scored haha. Adds a lot of excitement
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker I also play full match or comprehensive. Now I simulate the easiest games because I have a strong team and I want to speed up seasons, but I realise that it's a totally different game when you simulate. Players who just don't work in the game engine can score goals aplenty when you simulate. All good for those who have fun with it, but I don't get the point. I just lived a full time Champions League final and it's a top videogame experience
Yea a final in real time is an unparalled gaming experience. Even in this video, when Brighton had that chance in the 94th minute I almost had a heart attack hahaha
i didnt know i needed this so much, wow. You never cease to impress, man, I'm baffled
haha thanks!!
Thanks, this is gold!
Glad you liked it!
Great video. Love the breakdown!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the support!
More like this plus I love the player roles as well.
Thanks! I think going forward there should be a nice mix of tactic stuff and the normal player role videos
Always so instructive, thank you, i will try your approach :)
thank you! It can be a tricky tactic approach but I find it really really rewarding
Very nice tactic tutorial. Slow and clear instructions and detailed explanations on not only the tactic itself but what to do post tactic testing. This along with your player role explanations are helping me consider getting FM24 👏🏾
that's amazing and awesome to hear! Keep us updated if you decide to get the game
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker of course 👌🏾
Perfect way to start the day!
What could be better? Haha
Been waiting for this actually... can you do a video based on best training methods depending on how u want your team to play? i always have problem getting the right training routines ... love your contents😁
Hmm, that's a good idea! I hadn't really considered a training method but I might have to add something in for that. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker No problem👍
Brilliant mate!
thanks!
Great video man!! 👍
thank you!
Love your video man keep up the good work
thank you!
Great video as per usual
thank you!
you are the fm version of indian math teacher :D love you
haha what an awesome comment thank you!!
I am here since the first video and before your channel blows up
Glad you've been supporting the community the whole time!! Been a great ride so far and hopefully it continues
great video. thanks! will try it in my next save ;)
glad you liked it! Keep us updated on how the new save goes
Ahhh this is perfect. Thanks man
glad you enjoyed the video!
I definitely want to learn more about this so I can apply it to my own FM style. Feels like it would be very rewarding
it's such a rewarding way to play; kinda like I touched on in the video, but you know when you build a tactic and score a goal, there's no greater feeling haha. It's not without it's frustrating, but I love it
the GOAT!
Deeplying playmaker, once again, another fantastic educational video! 🙌 But this time without one of your special hats. 😄
I re-watched this upload a couple of times and would like to say, around the 11:00 minute mark, I noticed I would tweak quite a lot in your tactic. But then I thought, hey! That's exactly the beauty of this game. [There are so many ways to Rome]. And you are giving your viewers the tools to start tweaking their own tactics and have a lot of fun in this year's great match engine.
One thing I wondered, however, is if you adjust your tactics based on the opponent?
There’s always the debate between creating tactics based on your players' strengths or imposing a specific tactic on them. But what about situational management? Especially in this edition, adjusting to game conditions, formations, or opponents' playing styles really works wonders.
To give some examples: I like to adjust my passing style to be more direct in bad weather (rain or snow). And against opponents who sit deep, I always go max width to create space [I have heard this quote somewhere 😁]
As for opponents like Brighton, I would also counter-attack and exploit the space behind that high line. The instructions I would add are counter-attack, regroup, and press a bit higher than normal to disrupt their passing rhythm and force mistakes. Maybe also add some specific player instructions: for all players with bad long-range shooting to shoot less, and for the two central defenders not to press as it is especially risky when they push out of position.
I know you are a fan of an anchorman, but if he drops back to make a back three with the full-backs pushing up, I would probably position the ball-winning midfielder as a VM(L/R).
Overall, it makes me want to start a save with Luton. Thanks m8
Love the suggestions, excellent!! And the video does feel a little less special without one of my hats haha.
It's funny with my videos, I always try to separate what is an absolute in the game (ex: an advanced forward will always be a striker) versus what is my tactical preference or something subjective (like playing with a certain formation or using certain roles) So whenever I do these instructional videos about tactics, I try to show my process so that's it's applicable to everyone's team but be sure not to say "but you have to build your team this way". That's why I think we love FM, there's so many ways to win.
But I love your tips for playing Brighton. It'd be interesting to run the same experiment but try those tips to see how it changes.
It may or may not be a suprise, but I love to change tactics and even to counter the opponent's formation
Please make a video again about perfect role combinations please. I like this channel so much.
thanks for the support! Definitely more plans for all kinds of videos in the future
Loved it
thanks!!
What is your background? You speak so clearly, your video editing/graphics are top notch, and of course super knowledgeable with fm. Feels like a pro just popped up out of nowhere lol
I think it was your best video yet. Most of the fm videos are very click-baity and just hand us plug and play tactics to dominate. A lot of us care more about understanding at a deeper level, and your videos help with that. Would love to see continued videos on specific formations, and even more raw longer form ones of you playing through various saves!
Funny enough, my background is in broadcasting and video production. So that stuff translated pretty nicely into youtube content in regards to audio, editing, etc..
For FM, I've been playing since the 2013 version I think? And I've been interested in tactics and player roles and how they interact with each other. I guess the two kinda naturally fit together
and thank you! I like to make videos that I would've liked to see when I started out, so that's really where the channel and video ideas started. And I always like to be up front about tactic stuff and how it's not a magic elixir; like the tactic in this one won't be a dominant tactic or score tons of goals but hopefully you get more enjoyment making your own
I liked the video.
Man this channel is good
thank you!! I appreciate the support
These videos are so nicely done! really easy to digest and the editing syle is class. Be great to see more tactic videos and potentially a video on Scouting, since the new scouting model has come in I am not sure what the best method of scouting is anymore! 👍
Great suggestions! I'll see if I can work something in on scouting and some more videos
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker Do you have Twitter/Discord?
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker quick side question - Do you play in 2D? 😅
Not yet, pretty much just live in the YT comment section haha
yep, only play in 2D!
New sub, great video!
thank you for the support!!
Nice 👍
Thanks ✌
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Video as always . Shout to the Mighty Ducks QUACK, QUACK, QUACK! 😅
The Ducks old logo is the best in sports history and I will take no debate on this hahaha
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker 💯💯💯💯
No hat this video? But loved the breakdown and will definitely be trying this
haha yea I skipped the hat for today's video, I figured change things up just a bit
Instant like button👍
Wonderful channel. Will there be any videos about player traits, or trainings?
I don't have any plans for those topics in the immediate future; I still have player roles to make my way through (still have a number of those left haha) and I've got some other ideas for tactics. But I love the suggestions and I'll see if I can add. them to my planner. And thank you for the support!!
Loved this style of video. Good work!
I only wish you picked Southampton so I could take some of your notes haha.
Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the support!! You know I do love Southampton haha; their focus on youth academy is like my dream for every club I manage.
Love it I’ll give it a go
Thanks, keep us updated!!
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker Brilliant lol, making notes seemed a little over the top but actually worked. On team instructions I started with a balanced mentality and everything else at default (so in the middle with passing and so on). Basically I found the weaknesses adjusted roles and duties and complemented any positive movement with team instructions. What I noticed is that less is more. No player instructions I just let the roles do the work. Cheers 🍻
that's awesome and exactly how'd you would want it to play out! I find a fluid/flexible approach to the match makes it much easier to take advantage of what the opponent is doing. (as opposed to saying, "I'm using this 433 possession now matter what!")
The note taking is totally over the top I agree but it makes me feel like I'm Pep or something so I like it haha
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker it’s was over the top not anymore. It’s something I’ll be doing every time thank you
Hey DLP, love the work, are you planning to talk about the enganche role? that just is one role I cant get to work well enough, cheers!
Well the bad news is that the Enganche isn't in the next chunk of scheduled videos, but the good news is that I've gotten a couple of requests for it so I may try to move it ahead a little! Thank you for the suggestion and thank you for the support!
This is a fantastic video! Could you perhaps create a follow-up video that covers revising your tactic?
Yea I've got a lot of plans for more tactic stuff in the future! It'll be tough because with Luton I think our next 5 matches includes Man City, Liverpoool, Arsenal, and Chelsea haha
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker, awesome I can't wait! That could be a splendid video, though right? You could explain how one could deal with such a difficult series of fixtures. Anyway, keep up the good work!
@@LordRobrecht yea actually that is a really great idea! maybe I'll see if I can do something on that
When making a tactic I'll play the same fixture 4/5 times on extended or comprehensive to look at player positions, heat maps, passes and all that to adjust player roles or refine team and player instructions
For instance I had a DM Anchor making the most passes consistently so I changed him to a DLP so he's more inclined to dictate play - those kinds of things
that's a great tip thanks for adding it! It's a great point, you want to pay attention to your players and adjust their role to what they're doing anyway to try and maximize their play
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker I’ve just implemented your Poacher/DLF/Shadow Striker front line
And I was originally using a left full back on attack and right full back on support - but my RB was completing 20+ more passes a game. I swapped their mentalities and he finished the game with a 9.2 and 1 assist
Very nice video! Could you explain each individual team instruction and its effect. For me off the ball instructions for defending are hard to understand
Yep, I've got more videos coming in the (somewhat) near future going more tactical and instructional stuff!
Excellent vid , can you make a vid about positive and balanced mentality?
thanks! And I've got some plans for a mentality video (at some point haha)
I suggest some training guide videos, especially for youths 🙂
Great suggestion! thanks!
0:16 Sean Dyche tactics 😂
I'm waiting for somebody to create a Dyche FM channel and I will instantly subscribe
lets goooo
Would you consider moving to a 3 at the back (WCB,BPD,WCB possibly)? I’d love to see Lutons wingbacks playing to their fullest
You know that's a good idea. In this one I was thinking more about Townsend and getting him on the wing, but you're right a back-3 would let get those wingbacks into the match more. I guess that's why we love FM, so many ways to build a tactic
Lovely stuff again - was interesting seeing you start Andros on the right wing as a winger, even though he is a natural left footer. Was that intentional or just the best person for that role?
I liked having Doughty on the left wing, and Townsend could play decent with his other foot, so I chose him on the right wing. Funny enough Doughty was the one who got injured so Townsend ended up on the left anways after I moved him over haha.
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker Thought so! I often enjoy putting players like that on the opposite flank but on a traditional winger role, to allow them to naturally cut inside based on their preferred foot, rather than have them as inverted wingers. Keeps things entertaining!
@@FMlestri It's almost like a secret player instruction when you do it like that haha
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker Off topic, but I'd love to see how you would set up this US squad in the Copa America. Some... interesting tactical choices so far.
hey if they want to hire me as the manager, I'm all for it hahaha
When are you making a How to make a complicated tactic?
Fucking love John C. Reily. Lets gooooooo
This is the greatest compliment I've ever gotten hahaha
Any tips on how to have a W(A) be more than just a crosser while also keeping the width? Wondering if player instructions/PPMs could help with that.. I want my wingers to be like that wide receiver who could at any moment take off, although I want to encourage him to either cut in at the end and dribble into box instead of only ever crossing. I also go back and forth about if his strong foot should be on same side or not.. I don’t want to remove the ability to cross, but having strong foot on the inside makes him more deadly to cut in and shoot (I don’t want to swap him to an IW because I still want him to keep that width)
Yea I think you're on the right track; in the short term, you could use player instructions to morph the winger into a role you want. I don't have the instructions in front of me, but a Winger is one of the more generic roles so it should have a ton of instructions available to fit it perfectly in your tactic (so things like sit narrower, or dribble more, or cut inside with the ball, things like that)
And then maybe a long term vision, once you get the role how you like in your tactic, train your players on player traits that highlight those instructions
I would try the IW with the "stays wide when team is in possession" player instruction. you could also try teaching an IW to dribble down that flank if you want them to take the fullback for a ride, as well as the reverse, i.e. teaching a winger to cut inside when they have the ball.
I wish we had a more generic wide fwd role like the am_S that you can just turn into anything.
Thank you, Mr. DLP! 😂
you're welcome!!
Is it really a 4-1-4-1 or just a 4-5-1? A 4-1-4-1 is supposed to have two attacking midfielders.
you know I'm not sure haha; I could totally be wrong but I think I saw that FM had the tactic labeled as like a 4-1-4-1 DM or something so I just went with that
@@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker FM does a bad job at labeling things sometimes.
