Winning all leagues and tournaments are possible if someone has very talented players or very good tactics. In this article, I am going to introduce you the most popular tactics of Championship Manager series.

All tactics of such games can be classified as offensive tactics and defensive tactics. This article covers only the offensive tactics of Championship Manager.

Offensive Tactics

Offensive tactics aim to score more goals. Furthermore, offensive players have a great talent of dribbling, acceleration, scoring, positioning and determination. Popular offensive tactics can be grouped as

3-5-2, 4-4-2, 3-4-3.

3-5-2 tactic: In this tactic, 5 players play in the middle of all the game field. 3 of them are placed in the center. Other two use the wings to attack and help the strikers to score. One of this midfielders should have a strong passing and defensive capacity. He breaks all attacks of the components. Wingers should have a capacity of accelerating, passing and dribbling. In this tactic, players mostly prefer using a midfielder who throws long shots. The advantage of this tactic is, someone can easily score goal. Weak defense is the only drawback of the tactic. If you use this tactic, I recommend you to use ultradefensive players in defense.

4-4-2 tactic: In this tactic, 4 players play in the middle of all the game field. 2 of them plays as central midfielder and other two plays as winger. Since 4 players play as defender, defensive capacity of the team is stronger. Wingers should have a capacity of passing, accelerating and dribbling capacity. According to most of CM fans, 4-4-2 is the best tactic.

3-4-3 tactic: In this tactic, 4 players play as midfielder and 3 players play as striker. 2 of the strikers should have a capacity of dribbling, crossing and accelerating and other striker should have a capacity of heading and ball controlling. The only disadvantage of this tactic is weak defense. To avoid being scored goals, 2 central midfielder should be defensive players.
