    The BWM on defend duty holds position, not as much as an Anchor or DLP-d would, but it doesn't headlessly chase around looking for tackles. It's on support duty where you get that kind of behaviour.
  2. zZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
    When you are facing opponents playing narrow formations you can try moving the DLP into the midfield to push your central midfielders wider and adding overlap instructions to push your wingbacks even further forward to try and threaten them more in the wide areas. Changing the midfield roles to Mezzala and/or Carrileiro will push them even wider, but it might not be needed. If you are worried about leaving an empty space in midfield you can raise your defensive line or ask your defenders to step up more.

    I agree with the suggestion of 'Shoots with Power', instinctively going for power over placement makes sense for a player lacking composure. I would lean towards 'Likes to Round Keeper' in cases where a fast and agile player has poor finishing but good composure, that is not the case here.
  4. zZzZzZzZzZzZzZz started following Expansion capacities for stadiums below the 3. liga and 2. Bundesliga requirements
  5. zZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
    So the 3. Liga and the 2. Bundesliga have minimum stadium capacity requirements of 10.000 and 15.000 respectively, but many of the clubs in the Regionalliga and the 3. Liga have stadiums where the expansion capacity is set below these limits. This leads to promoted clubs being forced to build new stadiums and move temporarily during construction with devastating financial effects, when in reality most of these clubs would meet the requirements by adding temporary terracing or building additional stands at a much lower cost. I would suggest that the expansion capacities of stadiums in these leagues be set at a minimum of 15.000 so they can meet the league minimums unless they genuinely are in locations where any expansion is physically impossible. While I don't know what criteria is used to set the potential expansion capacities, I am quite certain that setting expansion capacities a bit more generously will lead to a more realistic in-game world than the current situation of new stadiums, forced moves and devastated club finances.

    @Cleon If you were to adapt the 4-3-3 into a 4-4-2 diamond what roles would you go for with the front three? Would you keep the false nine? My thinking leans toward either AM-s behind a DLF-s and AF-a or a SS-a behind two support strikers but I see potential issues with both, so I'm curious to hear how you would do it.

    I mean, is the player you have as your short option being marked by an opposition player when you take corners?
  8. zZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
    Yes, but player traits will override role instructions.
  9. zZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
    Have you considered simply using a PF-a with the "does not move into channels" trait instead?
  10. zZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
    And if you did set the instruction, is your short option being marked?
  11. zZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
    Good technique, flair and decisions makes me think "tries tricks" might be a good choice, it's fun to watch and you'll get to see a few more creative passes and finishes. He has the speed, agility and composure for "likes to round keeper" as well in case he often finds himself in one-on-ones, would compensate for his relatively low finishing as well. Might consider "uses outside of foot" too, especially if his left foot isn't strong.

    That will also reduce the likelihood of balls being played into space for that player to run on to, perhaps more so than reducing aerial balls.. Not a trait I'd want in a player like that, it is more one for playmakers on support duty or slow poachers.

    AI playing strikerless? That's a first!

    Managed to find the kind of player I wanted for my enganche experiment: It was a bit challenging to find a player with the right attributes who didn't have any traits that encourage dribbling more or undesirable movement, but I did find Palacios at Basel and for €14m I have to say he was something of a bargain. The formation he'll be playing in: With AM's on either side, an AF up front and two wingbacks coming up the flanks he should have plenty of options when he gets the ball, but I am sure I will have to tweak my TIs to make sure that he does get the ball.

    It used to be, but for some reason it has switched over to highlighting agility this year. I'm not sure if that is an intentional change or a bug.
  16. zZzZzZzZzZzZzZz
    Speaking of getting certain roles to work, does anyone have any experience with the enganche? Been playing with a narrow 4-2-3-1 for a few days and only realised just now that it might be the perfect time to try out that role, should I manage to find a suitable player.
