Hey guys,

As a huge United fan, I'm always playing FM in the way of trying to recreate what the real life team does, tactic signings etc, and with the news that it's more or less going to be Van Gaal that will be the new manager, I've started trying to research his normal style of play, formations and managerial approach.

What I've found so far is that he works between two formations - primarily a 433 with a deep lying playmaker in front of the back 4 and wingers wide. He also uses a 4231 sometimes. So what i'm trying to do now is figure out what other aspects of his tactics are, and how to best emulate them in Football Manager.

Any help and advice on this would be greatly appreciated,

Regards,

Simon

I know he favours a very attack minded approach - however that's about the extent of my knowledge.

Maybe this will help
