  1. I'm running the following tactic and have been successful but i do have a slight worry: The passing is pretty poor and I'd like to tidy it up a little. What would be an adjustment to stop turning the ball over as much? I am winning so maybe it's something I just need to put up with. Another issue I have is a lack of goals from the striker. He was a DLF(A) but I changed tactic (see previous tactic here) and I simply don't think the new tactic suits either Joao Felix or Tommaso Baldanzi who are more creative. I am in the market for a striker but I also think the role may not suit the build-up players as much as it did previously.
  2. So, I've been playing around with a 4-3-3 with a bit of a twist: I wanted to use a wide targetman and thought the 4-3-3 shape would work best. I workshopped it with Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2027 with Samu Omorodion as the WTM. Results (below) were pretty good except for a three match stretch in March. I started a new game with Everton and again started well with Beto as the WTM. I'm posting this after only five games because Beto just got injured for three weeks. In this save injuries have killed me - lost Onana and Doucoure in the Tottenham match and then Gomes and Beto in the forst seven minutes of the Chelsea match. Edit: *gif failed to load - got sick of trying* Above is why I like the wide targetman. Chermiti is 192cm (coincedently, the same as Jostein Flo) vs Ben White's 185cm. Add in Chermiti's 16 jumping vs White's 13 and it leads to assists like this. Note McNeil's floated cross goes against the team instructions - a good choice by McNeil. Further, a quick search shows me there are currently two starting-standard natural left backs in the EPL - Dan Burn (201cm) and Mickey van de Ven (193cm) who are taller than either Chermiti or Beto (194cm). Newcastle are currently playing Dan Burn at left back so I will probably adjust tactics against them but Tottenham are playing Destiny Udogie (plus I've already beaten them).
  3. I switched the IF’s to wingers with cut inside. Seems to have opened the middle of the field up for me. I also got an attacking player (your BBM role) with comes deep to get ball so switched to an attacking CM. The switch to winger on that side as a minimum has allowed the CM to be my second highest scorer and fourth overall in the Bundesliga. I am still having a bit of trouble with some formations but I’m working through that
  4. How do you fine a player now? I haven’t been able to find it since moving to FM24
  5. I know I need to make some changes to suit players and/or opposition but thought I'd post some results versus different formations over two seasons with Gladbach. I've left out cup games but added in Eurpoean matches. Vs 4-4-2: 2 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses Played this one mainly with the IFs but as it's two banks of four I probably need to rethink my tactics here. Vs 4-3-3: 7 wins, 1 draw, 9 losses Six losses in Europe including three versus PSG so the stats are a bit skewed here. In the league Augsburg and Freiburg were about the only teams to regulary play this formation. I mostly need to drop playing into space as these aren't the strongest teams in the league. Vs 4-2-3-1: 11 wins, 3 draws, 3 loss A very god record against a staple of the league. I seem to match up well here. IF tactic and drop playing into space aganst crap teams. Seems to work well. Vs 4-2-2-2: only three matches - 1 win, 2 losses. Not enough data on it's own Vs 5-3-2 DM: 6 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses Not a bad record here. I mainly switched to the IW version and dropped passing into space. With 3 at the back and 3 in the DM line I needed to retain possession. I also stuffed around with removing more expressive passing to help build up for good shots. Vs 5-2-3 DM Wide: 2 wins - not enough data but it is a tactic that leaves a lot of space ot exploit Vs 5-2-2-1: 9 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses Not a bad record but need to make thoses losees into wins. Again used the IW version but I need to work out the best way to defend as only two of thoses losses I didn't score in. It is a tactic where I am outnumbered in midfield so may need to condsider a DLP in midfield or to concerntrate down the wings more to try and open up the middle? I like the learning I am getting by playing this. I sort of wish it was on the main Tactics board so it could generate a bit more discussion as it does seem like a basis for a tactic rather than the finished product.
  6. Hi @Maddux - great basis for a 4-3-3 (I haven't tried the 4-2-3-1 yet). I have a couple of queries. I think I am aware of most of the answers I just want to clear it up 100%: Do you ever consider putting the wingers onto swap positions? I know you said the strong foot is outside but that way you would maintain the strong foot outside for the most part but also have the strong foot inside to change the attack up on occasion (I assume you don't). I have assume the player at right MC is more attacking than the left MC due to the players you are using in each position and also that you have swapped the CM(a) for a BBM. Also, you said that the CM(s) could be a DLP so my assumption is the right is more attacking - is this correct? Edit - is there ever a time you use floated crosses? I recently brought Joshua Zirkee but missed he has Plays with back to goal. I'm going to test out floating crosses so he can feed the IF's a bit more as I'm concerned with mixed crosses or anything else he will be facing the wrong way too often.
  7. Might be a weird question but how do you know through the analysis whether it's a tactical issue or player(s) underperforming? First off, this isn't your tactic but the question does relate to your analysis. The above is from one match (a few minutes apart. The goal was from a corner so not really relevant other than the xG finishing higher from less shots. In essence, the xG is really good and I can even cope with less shots than the opposition (especially in this case against Bayern Munich). Wolf playeed at MAR, Hack at AML and Weigl as the CMR. Elvedi started at CB before moving to RB when Scally was subbed off. Netz was the LB. from here I can ascertain that the midfield and striker (in particular) under-performed. Here is shows that Neuhaue is under-performing as an attacking playmaker. And here my feeling that Plea underperformed was true as well. So, my question is when using the data centre how do I make an informed decision that the tactic is at fault or the player?
  8. @tikitakamaster I’ve been playing with this and it does work. I quite like it. Whether it’s a fair representation of Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham or not isn’t for me to comment on. What I will comment on is the tactic itself. I changed a couple of roles to suit me (striker to AF, roaming playmaker to attacking advanced playmaker). I also had some players already that suited particular roles (Sergio Gomez as left back for example). I also purchased Florian Wirtz specifically to play the advanced playmaker role. What I have noticed is the left can be both attacking and deadly but also very vulnerable. I haven’t played around with the tactic yet but I’m thinking of dropping the left back to support and/or adjusting the playmaker. One less convincing idea is to adjust the left centre back to a wide centre back on defend but I’m not sure how this will work with the half back. all in all a good tactic with the right players but for anyone playing with it watch the left flank.
  9. I did notice this and thought the role and mental stats would balance out the passing Yep, absolutely. Makes complete sense.
  10. Thanks - I thought 'clear' meant 'clear as mud'. Turns out I didn't miss anything when reading the original post. On that note; is there player traits you look at to get what you want?
  11. I must admit, I am struggling to pick up on the player instructions you are using, much like @coach vahid. I am guessing the central defenders are told to pass short and the defensive midfielder is possibly told to make more direct passes (to offer a point of difference to the team instruction of shorter passing) I also think both wingers are told to sit narrower. Beyond that, I have no idea what your standard player instructions would be. It feels like asking for the player instructions when they aren't listed is a bit of an insult. I certainly don't see it that way and am more in the camp that they help understand how individual roles work within a tactic.
  12. Makes sense - the crosses become like a pseudo through ball rather than an actual cross.
  13. I've got a question about your team instructions rather than the roles themselves. Why have you chosen low crosses with a 194cm striker? Is it due to your 172cm AMC and what I assume is a short inverted winger or are the crossing players (wingbacks and winger) doing something funky with their player instructions where low crossing is preferable? By the way; thanks for leaving the team instructions in the picture. It helps make sense of the roles chosen overall.
  14. What constitutes a good pre-season? I use your Boot Camp schedule for a week then the rest of your schedules as per your training video so I assume that is a good pre-season but I was wondering in general what is good (or bad).
