Harpoon76 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I don't buy every FM. In FM17, the PPM of "Likes to beat the offside trap" was a nightmare IMHO. A striker (IIRC, Harry Kane had it) with it would rack up 100+ offsides in a PL season. In FM21 I'm interested in a regen but he has that PPM. Is it any better in recent versions? I don't want to spank the transfer budget on him and find I just tear my hair out... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good trait for an out and out striker and if they rate well in Anticipation and Decisions (OTB and Acceleration wouldn't hurt either) the player should make the right call more often than not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piperita Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Question about player development: Is it possible that players are on a certain "development" path that they can not stray too far from? I spent 5 years (16 to 21) training what I wanted to be my new wingback. His crossing went from 5 to 7 despite constant individual training and lots of "Attacking - Overload" sessions. Meanwhile his other stats skyrocketed. Or my goalkeeper who grew from 12 Reach/Jumping to 20 each and got some nice general goalkeeping attributes despite me training him as a SKd with "Distribution - Short" focus and at least one, mostly two weekly Distribution sessions. I see players aged 21 to 24 mostly incrasing through individual training and only minor increases about everywhere else. Is that like that from the beginning, only masked by the general rapid development? Players have a relatively clear progression and we only fine-tune it in some places?

mikcheck Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Using a 2 striker system, the one you want to be the main scorer, will you use him on the wrong side of his preferred foot?

If they have high strength or balance though, it might be better to put them in their "natural" foot, I've noticed it works well in this ME.

The creative one has the instruction to stay wider and roam, while the finisher one plays as a PF with no instructions. He's playing on the side of his natural foot. Almost reaching the end of the season and he scored 32 so far, so cant really be mad about it. Edited October 18, 2022 by mikcheck 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For young players that I want to keep in my squad and don't want to loan out till they become CTPs and aren't strong enough to have some playing time with the senior team, for their developement it's more effective to play in competitive U19 matches or in friendlies i.e. in a B team against stronger opponents?

For player development it’s never better to play in a friendly vs a competitive match. Players don’t try as hard or put as much effort into friendlies as they do in competitive matches (it’s in the game coding). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngeloBenito1974 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Saludos: I often play 442 in Lower leagues, level 9 currently with Manchester Central. How do I make my Left and Right Mids to return diagonally to our defensive areas, especially the ones in the weak flank? How do I make sure they are well positioned ("goal side, between defender and goal") while defending the "static" attack of the opposition? (Sometimes they are in the wrong side of the attacker, closer to the sideline than the defender while being away from the ball). Thank you, gracias!

Lambielsa Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I consistently have problems with opposition getting high numbers of shots in the box. Happens in most of my tactics. I always play a back 4. I either have CD(def) CD (def) or CD (def) CD(cov) I usually end up putting the PI ‘press less’ on the whole back 4 to keep shape. Is this contributing to opponents taking shots away easily inside the box? It might also be midfield issues and allowing too many final 3rd entries. It’s just the consistency I’m having this problem that making me wonder about my back 4 set up. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXistenZ Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Inside forward (and to less extent inverted winger) are doing horrible for me in my first ten league matches.
