The OCTAVIAN Tactic for FM22

Has anyone explained what the roam position instruction actually does? In the sense that how much roaming does it make a player play? From where to where? Off the ball or with the ball or both? How often and on what occasion?

hii i just subcribe to your channel and the twitch account hope to get in touch with u in discord

Thank you Daljit. Interesting tactic. I will most def test it & toy w/ it.

thank u i would love to try this tactic

A quick thing about Pass Into Space. It just doesnt work as well in FM22 as it did in previous editions. It's why all the "top" tactics don't apply it. BUT, just like how you mitigate Run At Defence with a PI like "dribble less" for certain players, I suggest you try doing the same thing with Take Fewer Risks. That will help prevent your AMs and CMs from punting the ball into space and giving it away too often.

The one team instruction that I find rather controversial is Work Ball Into Box. In FM22, there are many times we're better off without it. I'm still very 50-50 about when to use it.

Finally, I have seen a tactic with 2 Central Midfielders on support. I have always used them and that’s my style of play.

4-2-3-1 narrow is my favorite formation ever since fm 17 and now i'm using it in an almost counter attack style leveraging those sweet passes into space, which seems to be working because i have basically 7 players in good position to make them (5 midfielders and 2 wing-backs) and 4 players who can receive them, since i'm using 3 attacking midfielders on attack. Also, 2 of these attacking midfielders are very tall and so absolute machines when used together with 1 of my wing-backs on attack wich has good crossing.

Love how this was uploaded as I'm developing my own 4-2-3-1 narrrrow with Napoli, I feel like the shape really fits them well.

This is a fantastic formation
I am currently using the Mouriho get revenge tactic

I am currently in league two with Eastleigh ( won the EPL cup). And playing in the Euro League . This tactic is FUN. Well done for exposing this secret

Thanks Daljit, will give it a go with my Ajax save

Meta still relative for me. A while back you did the nagelsmann bayern replication and scored on average 4.3 goals per game over 6 matches. I would’ve very much liked to see how that system did throughout the whole season. Seemed pretty meta to me too haha.
I love fm for the fact that if you put common sense into your tactic, you can get almost any system to work
