Connor Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 In FM17 I have noticed the pre-match advice stating that when using a standard mentality etc, I should look to increase/decrease the amount of the Defend/Support/Attack duties, but I just wondered has anyone got a split of those recommendations per mentality. I have tried searching the forums and internet/articles, would be very helpful Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi thanks I did see that but what does that apply to? What does the number reflect? Using the example of Attacking = 4, 4 what? attack duties, defend or support Ideally it would be good to see a split such as the below: Attacking Mentality - 4 defend Duties, 4 Support Duties, 3 Attack Duties but for each mentality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunwwfc Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I dont subscribe to the idea there should be x amount of duties dependant on mentality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers are probably not set in stone, but I suppose the overall point is that the number of attacking duties should be limited if you are playing a with a defensive mentality which makes a lot of sense.

DavidRicardo Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I dont get any advice on mentality, shape or formation. Only fitness concerns and set piece takers. What am I doing wrong? It's suppose to show up in your inbox, right? My ass. manager is chosen for the task and has a tactical knowledge of 14 and has been in the club for a year.
