Conflicting advice

My scout says I should use a deep defensive line and my AM says I should use a high defensive line, for the same game...

people have differing opinions. its natural and replicates real life.

if you are going to listen to someones advice pay attention to the one with a higher tactical knowledge attribute

Thanks. What if they are both a rating of 9

if possible hire a coach/assistant with higher tactical advice attribute.

alternatively make up your own mind. look at their attacking players and compare them to your defenders. if their attackers are a lot quicker than your defenders consider playing deeper to stop them breaking past your back line. (i'd advise against offside traps but others will see differently)

Where do u go for this staff advice?

The backroom advice screen

I know that wazza.

I seem to missing something here. I only get advice from one coach (not my ass man btw), and they never give me advice on what defensive line to play for example. Just what advantages and dis-advantages i have got.

Here's a screenshot:-

***bump***

If they got fast forwards use a deep line. If your defenders are faster use a high line.

Thanks but doesn't really help as to why my coaches aren't suggesting it

someone suggested emile heskey could score goals.

not every suggestion will be right, and you will need to rely on your own judgement at times.

And he can, have you not watched Villa this season?

Sharpy, that screen you posted usually tells me about Tempo and Defensive Line, from my ass man.

My scout that scouts the next opponent also tells me this.

However, if it is based on pace, then both scout and ass man should give same advice. Surely the game does not give 'opinions'.
