Really enjoyed reading this, so much so that I shamelessly copied your tactic to see how it would do with a more elite team in Atletico Madrid. So far, we have scored 34 in 16 league games, conceding only 8. Sat top of the league with 38 points, the only losses coming to Real Madrid and a 2-0 FM'ing to Granada. The highlight, though, is definitely a 4-0 demolition of Barcelona, in which they had 60+% possession and 1 shot I would definitely be interested to see how you tweak in game, especially as your team gets better and faces more teams trying to defend deeper.

I really enjoyed reading through this thread, kudos @crusadertsar! I've always been obsessed about the importance of defence in every sport I follow, not just football. However, when it comes to FM I've always been more interested in the squad building side and just chose some form of high-pressing system. This year though, I find myself frustrated at the amount of unrealistic scores, such as 4-3, 5-2 etc. Indeed, look across the most popular tactics and you will see a lot of teams winning leagues with a league-average defensive record, if not worse. If nothing else, I just want some more realistic scores. Thus, I have downloaded the Defence First 4-4-1-1 to have a play with. The main changes I have found beneficial are enabling low crosses. It makes sense to me, as the striker in this system is not a brute-force type of striker, and low crosses enable the high pace and off the ball to come into play. I have also lowered the midfield pivot into the DM strata, as I found I was conceding goals just in front of the defence, and the CB's were not stepping out to stop the shots. @crusadertsar I may have missed, but what was your reasoning behind having the pivot in the CM strata?

FM 2024: A Wanderer From Dubai (Journeyman Redux)
LUFCspeni replied to Sahaj Oberoi's topic in FM Career Updates
I have to ask, and I ask with the utmost respect. What are you doing tactically in your saves? It seems like you get sacked in most of your jobs. Can we see your tactics? There are some very good players here who could provide some advice. -
[FM23] Born to Run - A Journeyman’s Escape from America - AC Milan
LUFCspeni replied to 13th Man's topic in FM Career Updates
That third place finish will definitely make you an attractive candidate for a good job now. Maybe us Leeds fans wouldn't be too opposed to another American coach now -
The team I support, managed by my favourite player of the last decade, emulating my favourite manager of all time Will definitely follow this with interest. Your tactics look interesting, although you're missing one where the DM drops back to create a back 3, a la Kalvin Phillips. Any opposition instructions to recreate the man to man aspect? And how are you choosing which formation to use in each game? Sorry for the questions, you can probably tell I'm quite passionate about the Bielsa years!

[FM23] Born to Run - A Journeyman’s Escape from America - AC Milan

Have to say I am really enjoying this. Would also selfishly like you to go to Leeds and see what you can do with us there (although I think our fan base would explode if another American took us over in real life). Is the 49ers takeover in the game, or is it still Radrizzani as the owner? If the rumours are to be believed, the 49ers philosophy regarding coaches is to get the best coach you can afford, hence why we went after Bielsa, and why they didn't want Marsch. But I digress, I could write a whole thesis about what has gone wrong at Leeds Good luck for the World Cup! -
This is a little before my time, what was the gimmick?

[FM23][SKIN] Mustermann 23 v3.03 - Updated 10/06/23 - NEW SKIN ADDED!!
LUFCspeni replied to GIMN's topic in Skinning Hideout
I love this skin, I haven't enjoyed the game this year until this skin came around. My general gripe with "attributeless" skins are I don't find them realistic. If I were a manager, I could say that a player had excellent speed, is a good finisher but can't head for toffee, which I can do with this skin. My only request would be to ask if it would be possible to put in FM Stag's stats on another tab on the player profile screen? -
This looks incredible! If someone could merge it with the Zealand skin that would be my ultimate skin.
