scott MUFC Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 its not really the tactics thast are the issue.. its more the finishing, and the AI scoring from something like a player dithering for no reason, or an indirect free kick (always these... seriously..) I have high press, pace down wings... fluid all that.. away from home was basically like being Leicester though... the finishing is the issue, the chances are getting created. I kight have a look at my 4-4-2 again but its seems to be player behaviour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kight have a look at my 4-4-2 again but its seems to be player behaviour. There is a problem with the finishing, I have noticed that aswell, I have seen players miss open goals from practically on the line. I have slowed down the tempo which has helped slightly. I mean I score a shed load anyway, but there are hundreds more missed that could easily be finished Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 most of these misses are headers, last game 4 of them headed over the bar from only a mere metre or so away Pogba scored from the practically the Halfway line though see what I mean about AI.. they scored 2 goals.. one from box ping pong after a corner and one because players didn't tackle... but overall they created 4 shots on target and scored 2, this is what I am seeing. they create 3-4 shots on targets and score 1 or 2. binned retain possession as well, seemed to have fixed the random dithering players. poached this guy.

luka_zg Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 What do you guys do with Pogba? I'm finishing my 1st season, 4 games to go and need only a point to win the league. Playing 4-3-3DM, Pogba plays AP/A in midfield trio but he has av.rating of 7.08, scored 3 goals and has some assists but in general I don't have the production I thought I'll have from him. I'm thinking of making him regular CM/A, maybe then he would get in to more scoring chances. But even if he doesn't score, I would like him to have good ratings, not 7.08 ffs.

What's wrong with 7.08? that's not a bad rating. If he had under 7 then I would be concerned. Pogba isn't all about goals and assists, he's not a striker or a winger. If you want more assists from him, make sure he has the tries killer balls often trait and have a striker with likes to beat the offside trap, that hekps. But I am guessing your 4-3-3 is a wide one so most assists are probably coming from your wide men. If thats the case, have him on gets further forward and get the trait get's into the oppositions box more often, think it's called that?. As an AP-A he will likely move forward witht he ball and look to bring your IF or wingers(depending on which you play) into the game and they will get the assist. So then he is the assister to the assisters if you know what I mean hahaha. I personally have him on CM-S, with PI's of shoot less often, mark tighter, more risky passes and move into channels, just realised I hadn't ticked get further forward aswell which would have helped me lol. He is currently having his best season for me for goals and assists with 6 gls and 10 assists with an average of 7.37 after 25 appearances. He's never finished a season with less than 7.3 average rating. Edit - I just added get further forward for the final league game of the season after forgetting to do it all season and he got a goal and 2 assists. Made a massive difference. He would have had a couple more assist if others had finished his through balls and he hit the post 4 times!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
axehan1 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Pogba has either" gets further foward "or "gets into opposition area" as one of his preferred moves.As Powello said above if you watch the matches he will often play the ball that leads to the assist so i wouldn't be to bothered about ratings, if he's doing what you want him to then job done, i'm at work at the minute but i'm sure in my save,approaching the end of season 3 he is near enough double figures in goals and assists as an Adv PM(S) alongside a B2B in a 433DM formation.

Powello Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Season 7 Review Competition-wise it has been a fantastic season once again as we swept everyone anway, winning all 7 trophies. But I was unhappy with the goal tally this year, we didn't score as many this year apart from Rashford, who once again broke 50 goals. I think this is the first seaosn since the 1st or 2nd one, where we didn't get over 100 goals in the league. We drew far too many games for my liking, but once again went unbeaten in the prem for the 4th season in a row. But out of the 70 games this season, the only team to beat us were Bayern Munich in the Cha,pions League first round knockout leg at their groud 1-0, but we had already beaten them at Old Trafford 4-0 do I wasn't to bothered, although going completely unbeaten in all comps would have been nice. Squad Review De Gea once again was a wall playing 52 games and keeping 25 clean sheets, not his best season but he did his part well, he saved 5 pens. He saves about 90% of the pens against us, I'm never worried when the opposition get a pen if he is in goal. I have noticed apart from 5 players, the goals aren't being spread around like in previous season, I will look to address this next season. Ronaldo has decided to retire in a couple of weeks, so I have asked him to reconsider it. He is 38 now but still quality, his Portugal record is now 206 caps 129 goals, ridiculous! Plans for next season I need to get rid of some players, once again bring the wages down and some players need to be playing and they just can't get the time here. I have a few older players coming in on free's purely for tutoring purposes. I don't really need to sign anyone, but if someone stands out I might go in for them. If Ronaldo does retire, I might re-sign Martial, haven't decided yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powello Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I have a feeling this could be a tough season, I have sold off quite a few players, some big names from the last couple of seasons and we have started poorly. Lost the Charity shield for the first time, getting hammered 4-0 by City, drew the first league game 0-0 against the hammers but could and probably should have lost and lost the Super Cup 4-3 to Monaco and they really should have scored more against us.

axehan1 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 For the coming season I already have 2 transfers sorted out, Bernardo Silva and Ryan Sessgnon As for outgoings,Koke had an horrendous 9 month cruciate injury that has killed his stats, pace now just 12 which for this team is not good enough Ro-Shaun Williams has overtaken Kostas Manolas as partner to Laporte.I have Tuanzebe ready to offer cover to those two and a very good youngster ready for a few cup games so i'm going to offload Manolas.I bought Embolo 2 seasons ago but Callum Gribbin has now reached the stage where he has to be performing regularly and with the impending arrival of Silva i'll be looking to offload Embolo too. Wayne Rooney has finally left the club as his contract ran down so I can now look forward to savings of £12m a year in wages.

If you are getting rid of Fellaini(which if you aren't, why not? lol) and want another midfielder in there and don't want to use any of the young players yet then Adrien Silva, I highly reccomend, from Sporting.

Powello Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I forgot to post my transfer for the first transfer window of season 8 Ronaldo did retire in the end but I have taken him on as the assistant manager of the u18s, surprised he wnated that to be honest. I have sold off a few first teamers and slowly rebuilding the side. As I am big on player development and promoting form within, I have brought in a few oldies purely for tutoring purposes, I also got Romero on a free, shocked PSG let him go for nothing. He has started very well for me scoring on average over a goal a game. As I said in an earlier post, with calling more youngsters up to replace the ones I have sold, the team is much weaker and we have struggled at times in games. But so far they are holding their own and we are still unbeaten in the league, it seems the first few games were warm ups, they are playing a lot better and more like previous seasons now.
