Hi guys
this time I decided to emulate Alberto Zaccheroni's tactics, the first one is his historical 3-4-3. He used this tactic at Udinese in the second half of the season 1996-97 and for the whole season 1997-1998. In the season 1998-99, Zaccheroni moved to AC Milan together with Bierhoff and Helveg and tried to replicate the same 3-4-3, but he did not have forwards like Amoroso and Poggi who could play as wingers too. Weah and Ganz were typical advanced forwards, maybe less good at heading than Oliver BIerhoff but still central forwards who could not adapt to play too far from the box, while Leonardo and Boban were two advanced midfielders who also liked to play in central areas. That's why in the second half of season 1998-99, Zaccheroni chose to switch to a 3-4-1-2 with Boban (or Leonardo) playing as an advanced midfielder behind the two strikers Bierhoff and Weah (or Ganz) this change helped AC Milan to win the Italian Serie A scudetto that season, despite Milan was not one of the strongest teams.
In this video I will explain his Udinese's tactic and to do so I used a retro database of the season 1998-1999 I found on FM Scout. I could not find online a season 1997-98 database, so to have the same players of that season at Udinese I edited the database file with Football Manager off-line editor bringing back Bierhoff and Helveg from Milan to Udinese and other players too. After restoring the same squad, I started a new save with Udinese, created the tactic as you can see in the video and played a whole season without doing any player transfers. Since the retro database was originally made for FM 23 but it also works on FM 24, the start date of my save is July 2022 and the end date is May 2023. I won Serie A and Italy Cup, while in UEFA Champions League I got kicked out in Quarter Finals by Alex Ferguson's Manchester Utd. I scored 135 goals in Serie A with Bierhoff topscorer with 56 goals, an incredible xg amount per game of 3.7 and my defense was not bad, the 6th best defense in Serie A (50 goals allowed).
Besides, using the current Football Manager 2024 database, updated to February 5rd 2024 (I downloaded the last update from sortitoutsi site) I tried a new save with Juventus and I won Serie A with the best attack (97goals) and 2nd best defense (27 goals allowed) and Vlahovic top scorer with 36 goals.
This is all for this tactic, I hope this works for you too.
