My team concedes less balls when using Gegenpressing than Catenaccio.
@TifoFootball is this free on moblie
Used to play this a lot, I was planned set pieces very carefully because I always picked a 2nd tier team and worked them up to promotion, set pieces are if planned and executed correctly the underdogs weapon of choice and the favorites can use them to open up a defensive side.
Maybe it's because I played full back and use took take corners and freekicks a lot, gives a perspective.
More Football Manager content please.
Does the goat reply
Hello Jack
Hello Jack here. I agree
Hello, keep up the FM content please
Jack you definitely need the tips mate 😂😂
Next up - "Football Manager Walk-through | Winning UCL final with Ibrahim Sangare"
He is really good in fm tho. I bought him for like 12 million euro or something and he develop into kdb with greater physical and aerial attributes.
@@fanofatrophylessclub9881 That means it's really coming next from Tifo.

Do a video for Spurs : How to get a football manager?
Levy probably started watching tifo when Jose was sacked and will try to cut on costs by having himself as the manager, analytics team and everything else- After that, he'll get a letter from the FA and UEFA telling him to do the coaching badges and will try the ESL again with a rule of no badges needed.
Easy, just splash the cash on Klinsmann.
Best regards,

Blown the budget in English lessons for Harry Kane. So happy he recovered from his heart attack. My goal, my heart attack.

"Remember the AI is always watching you" - Tifo Football
Football manager Terminator edition.
"Only 1.6% of us have taken the time to create a set-piece plan for every occasion".
I think that says more about the way Football Manager implements set-piece planning than it does about the people who play the game.
Oh my god it’s so needlessly tedious. The payoff just is not worth the hassle
THISSS!! It's also weird that it hasn't really improved that much in the 20+ years I've played. Even when I bother to set them properly, it's all wasted on something like the central defender instructed to "mark tall player" being in the kick-off spot during defensive corners. Or when you switch to another tactic during a match and all the setpiece instructions being all wonky even though they're saved correctly in the tactics.
I spent like 3 hours on that bit, it's honestly not worth the effort. lol
ABSOLUTELY, it's boring af, i only do that because i get absolutely mad when i concede from fkin wide free kicks
@@matthewvaughan8192 repent, sinner
Woah dude
Woah dude
i agree
Creeping on your area here Zealand ha
I bet a good bunch of this channel's viewers are FM players.
How did u figure that one out mate?
@@daniel-cc7bn Cause this channel goes deep into football which general gamers or fifa players don't know,mostly fm players deep dive into football
Average fm players knowledge on football> Average Fifa players or a normal football fan
@@utsavbasu1048 no
Yeah right here 😂
@@utsavbasu1048 Average fm players knowledge of football = still average
This was unexpected
Never expected them to do this at all
@@beckham2_david383 me neither
Probably releasing this because it’s on sale on Steam at the moment

"Dont throw a new idea 24 hours before kick off"
Lol, this relates to me
I do this right before Kickoff sometimes.
Sheikh to Guardiola: Take some notes, take some notes!
I always change my mind 24 hours before kick-off. No wonder im in 14th🤣
@@nrls4769 I always keep it same and barely change it, which is punishing as well
When the EUROs are over you guys should do a laid back segment to talk about football manager, so Seb can talk more about how Beckham thought of him as favoured personnel
hahaha sounds like something that'd be fun to listen to
If someday Jose retired from club managerial, i would love see him give us lecture in youtube with playing football manager
He is playing FM in his gadget too you know as seen in an episode of All in or Nothing of Spurs
@@izzuddinfaruqi1493 A lot of coaches/clubs use Football Manager to scout players so I'm not sure if he actually plays the game.
8) There is no magic formation
Me who has won the treble with Crystal Palace with 4231 gegenpressing: Surprised Pikachu face
How many times did you reload haha
Maybe you just have a brilliant footballing mind
This more to do with the gegenpressing than the formation.
What makes you think that was specifically the 4321 gegenpressing?
Save scummer! 😡
tifo and FM my two favorite things
We need a proper FM save by Tifo. Make this happen atleast in the IRL channel
JJ vs Alex in the Romanian 2nd Division 🙏
Two answers.
1. Play more
2. "Add manager"
3. Save-load
4. Consider getting an editor when your board denies increasing your 10M transfer budget by 100K
5. Alt + f4 when you're losing in a title/relegation-deciding match.
Lol these tips are gold!
6. Use transfer bug
Give me freedom
Give me fire
Give me atletic sponsorship
Or I retire
You hire Jose and then sit back and watch while sipping on a coke.
No. Do not drink Coke. My son likes to drink it but I tell him it's unhealthy
@@justbecause7402 LOL, Aqua!
@@justbecause7402 When coke is not good for me i will do more coke instead-
@@justbecause7402 coke isn't unhealthy sugar alone isn't unhealthy, you can have a great physique and still drink coke,
Calories matter.
1. Get great staff and trust it. 2. Play consistent players
Watching Tifo explaining football manager to us is like watching Morpheus explaining Neo about the Matrix
To be fair, this title would be appropriate for 70% of Tifo's videos, at least the tactics ones.
This YT channel is the reason why I started my current run with a ball winning defensive midfielder on support...
BWM works well with a support role. I used Jordan Henderson as BWM for my England squad and we won the EUROS and Nations League with ease. BWM is very similar to BBM but with Support tactic, you win the ball much higher up the pitch.
When your team fails at EURO2020
Breaking News: Spurs interested in signing Tifo Football as Manager.
One big tip that I feel everyone should know. If a player has a tendency of performing poorly, particularly when that player is supposed to be better than the other players in the relative division, then go to the reports page for that player and check for the players' consistency. Consistency is a very important attribute in the game, and it is hidden, but try at all costs to not make an inconsistent player a key part of your tactic, it is better you try to limit the number of things they do. Alternatively consistency influences technical and mental attributes, so try using him in more physical roles to at least limit his ineffectiveness. Combine that with making sure the player is happy and you might be able to at least not have a low 6.2 or 6.1 rating every game. Consistency will gradually increase as time goes on, but very slowly, maybe +1 every 2/3 years. If a player is worth keeping for that amount of time, then you can be patient and wait until that player has an average amount of consistency(the report will show it gone by removing the description "is fairly inconsistent", but some players have extremely low consistency and are unsalvageable.
Hidden attributes never make any sense to me. True potential, I get, but if a scout can quantify a player’s determination, they can quantify consistency easily
@@matthewvaughan8192 Without hidden attributes you would have perfect knowledge of every player's true value and ability..it makes the game interesting - and frustrating.
If a player is too inconsistent; sell him. Like you said, it a stats that's hard to change.
@@Veaseify What you mean like in real life? That’s my point. It’s a simulator. If you can quantify consistency in real life then you should be able to on the game. I never said it has to be 100% accurate, but everybody just ends up looking at them anyway. Just make it a mental attribute
I've stopped playing FM. I've decided to put my mental health first. Leeds can wait , I've lead them for 10 years.
You mean 10 years like in the game or what?
@@nizangkerplunk real life
Havent played football manager in years, but saving just before a game always helped 😂
No. 8: "no magic formation"
Knap: "and i took that personally"
Joe clearly not taking into account that fullbacks with good crossing simply don't exist in football manager
Find young regen wingers and train them there. Way more effective
Have you trained them on their crossing?
Once my scout found a 17 year old Nigerian wing back with 17 passing & crossing.
National team players oftentimes has a good crossing and acceleration ability
I found a wing back with 17 for crossing. He is a gem as well, being a world class WB that has >15 for pace, marking, tackling, anticipation, vision, set pieces and surprisingly, aerial ability. Forced my club to sign him for 70M
Let's be real now, the best "How to" guide for fm are made from Zealand Shannon
no magic formation, but there are exploits tactics, like over the top 4-3-3 with 1 pressing forward support back in fm20, you can make any top 5 team score like 120+ goals a season with it.
The 4-2-3-1 Gegenpress with 1 DLP (Su) and a B2B mid/a Ball-winning midfielder was one too
It became so easy to win that I vowed to never use the formation again
@@mike.n.n.7723 It only work(in my save) with a team that got a forward with great aerial and physical ability. I don't know about other people save but yeah, it just didn't work in my save
What tactic are you using on fm 20 ?
Also formations with shadow strikers and no center forward seem to break the game too
@@fanofatrophylessclub9881 I had really quick strikers so it was devastating
Even if you don't have a proper physical striker just make him a Deep lying forward on support and use the wingers as inside forwards on attack, like how Liverpool do with Firmino, Mane and Salah
After playing FM since 2008, I'm 100% agree with those tips. Set pieces are SO IMPORTANT.
5) keep it simple
Uruguay team: "and i took that personally"
goes with 4-3-3 and 2 man striker
Re: the having 2 players back but check re: subs/injuries/takers/whatever, this is what the "stay back if needed" instruction is good for. I set both FBs to stay back but if one of them is taking the corner, my defensive mid takes his place, otherwise he gets involved.
Really informative and fun video to watch, well made!
Wait what i literally just started playing FM you guys have impeccable timing
Another Quality video...could you guys make a video on your predictions about the final stages of euro 20
Definitely my favorite football channel here. Just ignore that final tip people. Zero goals scored from corners in about 12 games now. And I used to score loads from corners. Keep up the good work tho.
Yes, more Football Manager stuff, please. A lot of us are really into it.
Do more this kind of FM21 content. Love it!
Was waiting for this since I subscribed you
This guide has a point especially don't forget to plan your set pieces.
I think it also depends on which version of FM you're playing. I loved FM 2011 and had a great save on it, but when I moved to 2016, I found that the kind of players and tactics which thrived in 2011 just couldn't get near it in 2016, and vice versa. Generally, there seemed to be a lot more space in the 2011 version, but by 2016, that had gone, in favour of a more physical style.
Thanks, Tifo, for making me stop feeling stupid for focusing on set pieces in my FM save.
omg love your cartoon drawing and music , so good
Very easy to understand definitely makes me understand the game more
Finally an important video!
we need more FM content Tifo😍
I can't believe that my fav channel created vid for my fav game
Have a channel dedicated to football manager streamers and analyzing their plays
Lovely to get an Iain Macintosh sighting in the wild - even if only in animated form.
Been playing FM since the mid 90s, and I miss the good old days where it only mattered who has the better stats. You could play the same squad and tactic all season. I miss having the time to play FM for hours in a day.
Good one. Your videos are so unique..
Unexpected but very welcome. Thanks, tifo.
Make more of these please and thank you.
I love the corner tactic!
Sign Ibrahim Sangare in your first season. I heard he could be a sensible signing for any club.
Wow. Amazing guys 💪🏾🔥
I needed this
I so needed this
I have three tactics saved: 4-2-3-1 with wingbacks. 442 diamond for playing two forwards (again with wingbacks, middle field winders playing attacking position) and one super defensive 4 4 1 1 for when need to play defansive. I alternate between first and second across the season with adjustments for teams and players.
Very informative and educative
That corner tactic is exactly what I do, I didn’t know that’s the best way but I’ve scored many goals like this
The video no one asked for and I'm not quite sure who needed it as I don't know if anyone still invests the countless hours required to play this game, but it's here and it's appreciated.
The video I never knew I needed
More of this pleaseeeee!
Simplicity is the key. That is 100% true. I played EURO 2020 with England and I kept 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 with Gegenpressing tactic and boom we scored 21 goals and just conceded 4 goals. And I had Ramsdale as my main keeper.
Bonus Tip :- Mark the opposition players tight and press them, tackle them hard and show them their weak foot. Each one of them when it comes to big teams. That works all the time.
Not fully true there is definitely a system to win the game. At the moment strikerless is the meta - I don’t download tactics anymore (in my main games) but it’s not a matter of tactically outplaying your opponents in FM it’s a matter of outplaying the game engine - that doesn’t mean you can’t win without using the meta I’m currently rocking a very good 4321 but - if you use the meta tactics I guarantee your sub-top squad can win champions leagues - I still test them every patch or so and yes they do work
Yep, I've been using the exact same system for 5 years and have gone from German third division to Champions League final (lost on penalties *shakes fist*)
Yeah this video is absolutely BS. Pretty much nothing they said is actually important, it’s like they haven’t even played it and just assume how it should work, not how it really does.
omg tifo are incredible
Excellent Tips!!!!
Tifo football about to become a gaming channel and I'm all here for it tbh
This was excellent.
Tifo football and football manager were made for each other
I love the ‘Every decision you make has repercussions’ Tell that to my Aylesbury defenders!
FFS just when I'd gotten over my FM addiction 😒
Hopefully my sack rate will decrease thanks to this video 😅
More football manager videos PLEASE
Thanks for the pro gamer tips
I used to play FM religiously, but as a responsible adult (ha!) with a full time job I just don't have the time now :( I do miss it, I haven't even seen the game since the 2014 version so I bet its come on a lot.
We football manager players are cultured people.
Not like them Fifa Boys
That’s offensive to fifa players.
Please make a video about all football positions and roles how they perform in football manager. And combination between two positions.
In football manager game there are some given hints but i think you guys can explain it a lot better.
4231 with inside forwards and a poacher/complete forward along with two ball winning midfielders feels like a magic formation and has done since fm12
It's so flexible as well, in game you can shift to front 3, front 2, 5 in midfield, overlaping fullbacks, etc. Midfielders can perform different functions depending on game plan(offensive/defensive). I don't like poachers though, I need a striker with good movement, pace, finishing at least(advanced forward), especially if you're playing against a better team and look to counter/be direct.
Literally discovered this with trial by error also having a deep lying playmaker with a ball wining midfielder
The set piece advice was really on-point.
It really wasn’t
I'm just fine playing my FM Mobile 2018 still. Lead Stevenage into a pentuple in a season where everything just went perfect.
This channel is great
Wow. This is just amazing.
Wow didn't expect this
Make a series of this plssssss
thanks. reminds me why i prefer CM01/02 to FM.
I had john stones in the golden boot race with that corner routine
I've currently got Kettering Town in the Premier League, its 2032 and just won the Europa so its champions league football next season, come on the poppies!
Just when i was playing football manager i got notification for this video
*Spurs wants to know your location*
I don't know if this still works:
1. Remember regen youth intakes dates for top 50 countries
2. Sign them cheaply before they get contracted to the club
3. Develop in your youth setups & on loans
4. Keep the better ones & sell the rest for profit
5. Repeat ;)
Advice #5 is the best advice anyone should ever get.
Please do a journey man Football Manager video, I'm interested in starting from scratch and working my way up.
I did not expect this.
I did not know there was a Show about my favourite game from you need to see it
please do more of football manager
Completed it 😎
