Football Manager 2011 | FM 2011 4-1-4-1 Uber Defensive tactic. As the description says it is very similar to my 4-4-2 counter tactic but this one is more focused on defending and will result in less goals. It is best employed against teams playing with 5 midfielders, from Barcelona's 4-5-1 to a 4-2-3-1 and so on.

Shouts needed: "Get the ball forward" and "Clear ball to flanks" . If you find yourself struggling with possession it is worth "Pass to feet" and if the opposition is defending very high but you find yourself unable to counter "Pass into space" will give you an advantage here.

Football Manager 2011 | FM 2011 Tactics - 4-2-3-1 - First of all, I should say that my mentality is goal goal goal... Football is an entertainment and fans are coming to stadium to see something nice and I always give them what they want to see... More goals than expected :)

If you have a strong attacking power, than this is your tactics. This tactics requires really technical and strong player. Besides you should really strong midfielders. Because two midfielders will take the load on their shoulders and pay attention not to get under of this load.
