Tactical Theorems ‘10 Appendix Update – 19 Tactics from the Community

Tactical Theorems ‘10 Appendix Update – 19 Tactics from the Community

The 24-page Tactical Theorems ‘10 appendix has been updated, and is available for download now!

Thank you to all those who downloaded TT10 this year (around 40,000 of you so far!). Some of you have not only supported us by downloading the guide, but you’ve also been on the forums contributing to its appendix.

What’s new in the appendix 1.1?

The appendix is a compendium of football styles from around the world submitted by you, the readers and contributors at FM-Britain. From discussions in our research forum. The first version which went out alongside TT10 has been updated to reflect the opinions and new information from the community, and even includes a couple of new tactics such as SC Braga and Tottenham Hotspur.

The appendix aims to show people how they can use the tactics creator in Football Manager 10 to get their team playing like real world sides. Obviously, with such a broad aim there’s bound to be debate about how teams really play. And for that reason there’s been as much discussion about how teams play in the real world as much as the virtual!

There has, for instance, been a heated debate about the Arsenal side of the past 12 months. What is the real formation? How does Robin van Persie play? How do we make that work in Football Manager? With those debates in mind, we have revised the original tactics in the 1.0 version of the appendix to reflect the new information provided by our forum members.

Once again, a massive thank you to our members

We aim to release updates to the appendix relatively frequently. Despite this release, there are still many things to be updated and thousands of real world tactics left to add. Although we cannot look to put every single club from every single period into the guide, we have seen from you that there are many that you would like to discuss.

By heading over to the research forum, you’ll see topics have been started on clubs as diverse as Juventus, Aston Villa, Benfica, Valencia, Poland, Wimbledon and Atletico Madrid, and from the 1960s through the 80s to the present day. But there are many more to be added, so get yourself signed up to the forum and let us know what you’d like to see – and even contribute to the tactics already posted.

So we give our gratitude to those who commented and created the tactics for this version of the guide, including: Jimbo51, Demo, Simulacra, Boobo, RiffHard, cagiva, Jockie, moj, trian, dryg, Akontipus, Machete82 Michlos, foomanjee, jonjon, DirtyACE, majed20, mantralux, trian, Rodace, gazsmith6, ezamudin, bily_marseille, Vermaelen05, Ron Burgundy, Aust, Dano and Jaswarbrick.
