It's my tactics

It must be.

The shots on target against goals scored ratio for the opposition is just ludicrous. And this is just a small example.

I don't mind too much as most of the time I'm still winning, but you know if you're playing against me and you get the shot on target it's likely to be a goal. Most likely the match engine compensating for my attacking tactic, because I have a decent goalie and a world class back four.

Are they hitting you on the counter and not creating many other chances? If so yes, you're probably right. If you have great team and go on the attack from the off, it's probably a tactical thing. Not a big problem, unless your team has an off day.

When are the opposition goals coming? If they're late on it's possible your players are a little tired. On the other hand, they may just all be up the other end of the pitch.

That's just it, the opposition goals are random types and times, which is where my compensation thinking comes from.

Fulham scored from a through ball (was offside tbh) on 64 minutes. Barely touched the ball for the rest of the game. Am wondering maybe if my GK is missing a vital stat?

That must be really annoying. At least you're winning, but it must be frustrating. Perhaps the keeper's concentration could be higher, but I'm not too confident on my knowledge of goalkeeping attributes!

It is annoying, I'm going to try a different goalie and see if it's his fault!

No change with a different goalie

Concentration? Nothing to do until that one shot, maybe fallen asleep. Just a thought.

A couple of things stand out:

1. Your goalkeeper is rubbish. He has almost no mental ability. He doesn't pay attention and is very mentally slow anyway.

2. You have a huge amount of shots but a very low shots on target ratio. The consistency of your lack of accuracy versus number of shots leads me to believe you must play at a very high Tempo for long periods of the game. This will make your players very tired and lead to mistakes.

3. You leave out all information barring the opponents shots on target and goals. There are no screenshots of defenders, defender ratings, tactics, player condition, Clear Cut Chances or anything else that would help build a better picture of your problem.

So from what you do present the only real information that can be gained is that you may very well be running your players into the ground and therefore have a knackered defence ahead of a rubbish goalkeeper late on in the game.

I have tried it with another goalie with slightly better mental stats, but tbh looking at the 50 most expensive goalies in the game, only one has more than 13 concentration and still have decent technical/physical ability.

And every single mistake that leads to a shot on goal = a goal? Come on, that's far fetched.

3. You leave out all information barring the opponents shots on target and goals. There are no screenshots of defenders, defender ratings, tactics, player condition, Clear Cut Chances or anything else that would help build a better picture of your problem.

I think what I've provided gives enough indication of the problem. Regardless of what my team is and the mistakes made, there is a problem with the amount of goals per shots on target against me in games that I dominate.

So from what you do present the only real information that can be gained is that you may very well be running your players into the ground and therefore have a knackered defence ahead of a rubbish goalkeeper late on in the game.

Which would explain it if all the goals came late on, which they don't. One game had the 1 shot = 1 goal after 20 minutes.

Hey captain I'm edging in the direction of concentration and anticipation being the reasons why you are conceding like that.

My reasoning is this....some of those games you posted, you dominated in. Goalies like having to make saves occasionally, not necessarily tough ones though, just to keep them active, you know....on their toes. Basically if they have nothing to do for long periods of time, they have a tougher time concentrating when they are needed. The fact that he has poor concentration only compounds this.

Well thats my opinion on the matter.

Also, I don't think its your tactics

I'm coming to the same assumption, going to give it a bit longer with my other gk and see how it goes

I also play at the lowest tempo for the whole game. But nice incorrect assumption making by the way

1. Your goalkeeper is rubbish. He has almost no mental ability. He doesn't pay attention and is very mentally slow anyway.

CaptainPlanet, how is your defence set up and what kind of players do you have in it? how capable is your cm's on giving defensive backing? what kind of formation do you use? do you play rigid or fluid? is this fm09 or fm10 with odd skin?

From having a look at you GK I would say it looks as thought quite a bit of the problem is with him.

He looks as though he would be a good GK at a team where he was constantly under pressure but if you are dominating games then his concentration of 8 along with his anticipation of 9 means that when he is eventually called into action he isn't prepared.

I don't know the attributes for the other GK you are using but maybe look at getting a GK higher on the concentration and anticipation while taking a hit on his physical stats.

Funny that anticipation and concentration don't appear under the GK pre-set filter when searching for players.

Searching the world for GK with more than 13 on both anticipation and concentration returns 10 results only half of which have remotely decent other stats. So only 5 GKs in the world have the mental and technical stats to be in goal for me?
