Tactics

Tactics Always use long ball which gives you a lot of chances but of course also more chances wasted as your tactic. Depending on the opponent I normally use one of the following formations, but remember there are no winning formations in Championship Manager 2, nor are there any winning playing styles. Find a formation that suits your teams abilities. The only way to find this is by experimenting.

4-3-3

			|---------------|
			| \   X-X-X   / | Att

			|   \   |   /   |

			|-----X-X-X-----| Mid
			|               |
			|               |
			|               |
			|  X   X X   X  | Def
			|               |
			|-------X-------| Gk

Use this tactic when your team is better than the opponents. Using this tactics means that you won't drop points to the weaker teams.

This formations should be your normal formation until you get to know your team better.
