Set up specific training regimes by adjusting sliders. Avoid overworking players, as high workloads significantly increase the risk of injuries in the FM07 engine. 5. In-Game Management
Recreating Jose Mourinho's Chelsea 4-3-3 is highly effective. It uses a very conservative back four, one defensive midfielder (the "Makelele" role), and wingers with maxed-out creative freedom.

The following guide outlines the most effective tactical frameworks and strategies that consistently deliver results in FM 2007. 1. The Power of "Tactical Theorems and Frameworks" (TT&F)
