RDF Tactics Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 10 hours ago, Rain Man said: First of all thanks for all the effort you guys put in this community. I want to ask any advice on squad re-building process? Which specific attributes to look for, is scout reports reliable, can we do our search based on position/role/duties and their key attributes etc? @knap I know you pretty much test a tactic for a season and just keep on testing new ones but if you decide to play a long-term save somehow, can you explain your go to's in terms of re-building briefly? @RDF Tactics From the training guide post, I know you primarily look for physical, then mental and last technical attributes. But can you explain maybe a bit more? Which attributes you look for specifically and how you judge a player's ability generally? Thanks in advance so a defender....if you have a defender with poor balance and strength....then positioning and tackle, no matter how good, loses its effectiveness....i can have tackling of 20, but i'f im not strong enough and have poor balance going into the tackle, i'm still likely to lose that challenge. but then, a decent determination may help, but he's just becoming more determined to win the tackle, still, likely to lose. if im looking for a ST, physical and mentals are most important to me...its like Haaland, he's a best. but how does he do so well with such low technique? because he's a beast physically and mentally...i like to have balance or strength so they can compete with a CB, i like acceleration, agility, off the ball, decisions, composure and anticipation....finishing is low on my list, even lower than first touch, he needs to have the ball under control before finishing a advanced Playmaker, probably the only time i focus on physical less, and more Technical then Mental of obvious reasons. i don't expect them to do too much, and for this reason, i never use a AP lol but please consider, this is only my way of thinking and not a rule for FMers to go by.

cragswfc Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 29 minutes ago, RDF Tactics said: i got results using this training method so i shared. its nothing complicated, nothing game breaking, no exploits, just the way i did my training. but i can try and explain a bit more because i can see my people are curious, as i was when i first tried this method Training roles and positions isn't needed, though, we assumed it was. Players will always train a position and role in training, you're not taking that away from them. giving them a specific role gives them even more training to do, which can give them too much. which, that would be counter productive. this method doesn't guarantee you great results, it gives you better control over your players training and development say Troy Parrot has a PA of 200...training him on CF will spread out his attribute increases though thats not what i want. he already has good heading, finishing and technique, but what he does have is poor movement off the ball. i want to focus on that so when he does reach his PA, he's more a complete player....example, he has finishing of 15 and off the ball of 10, instead of have finishing 20 and off the ball 10...he can have finish 17 and off the ball 13 players are still likely to develop without this method, this method gives you better control. in my experience, this method has giving me better training ratings, attribute increases rapidly and just good performances on the pitch. Thats not to say you won't win without this, thats not the case at all...i've only been training like this for a week now, i never thought i had training problems before, but now i can see what i could've done to improve things....ever since this method, i have 4 saves. Man Utd (i signed nobody for 4 years, only sold and used youth players) won the league 4 years in a row...2 seasons with Bournemouth, 1st season finished 2nd and won FA Cup, 2nd season won the league...1st season with Hoffenheim, won the league. 1st season with Brescia finished 2, 2nd season, was 2nd in Jan....1st season with Tottenham is my current save, and i'm 1st in Dec, 7 points ahead....in each of these saves, i've have come across a single player training bad. literally 0 times someone has had training ratings from training. @Cadoni done a test, with this method, he finished 13 places above when he tried the general method. This CAN be luck/RNG, also can be players morale were better because training at a good rate everyday...we don't actually know for a fact. but its just advice we wanted to give So You would put Troy Parrot on Attackin movement?

He's also 17, that'll increase over time, but his off the ball is 10, i want that to increase quickly so its matching his other attributes to be a great striker. as you can see here, his decisions and anticipation has gone up 1 already in 6 months of me being manager...his off the ball will increase i presume within a month or so. but you can see, im not losing out on development anywhere else, but getting rapid increase in attributes i need him to improve with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

warman1982 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I thought id post incase it hasn't been said anywhere else and it may help some people. I have found that what ever the score line in games shout 'show some passion' after the on and after 70minutes of a match has a positive effect on most of my players. have only been trying it for a few months but some games where nothing much was going on second halve after scoring 5-7 goals I then have scored up to 3 goals in the last 20 minutes. one game noting happening after half time at 6-0 went on to score 3 goals last 20 minutes and win 9-0 some games we have scored but had lots of shots and controlled games last 20 minutes also in tight games such as away to Tottenham we were winning 1 nil until 70 minutes, I've then used shout twice on 70 minutes and 80 minutes and won 3 nil. might be worth others trying it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason for that? Left back has sit narrower and RB doesn't. Just want to know if it's an oversight. I used the Float cross version you were playing with a while back and came second with Sheff Utd first season and then came second again in the second season on GD with 91 pts to Liverpool! Is float crosses best for lesser teams/when crossing is not a strong stat for your wingers wing backs? Final question, for "hard" away games, or just away games in general, do you still adjust width, get stuck in, switch to cautious, lower DL? All depending on opposition?
