Funny how this whole thread was caused by the player ratings bug in the game. Looks like the preset gegenpress + 3 world class players works after all!

It’s because you’re managing Tottenham. The game knows they could never win the league in real life and is having a hard time replicating such a ridiculous scenario.
Good one.

Good to know, I’ll stop playing for now then.

Just won the league but only 6 players in my squad averaged over 7 for the season. Are playing ratings more strict than in previous versions? It feels next to impossible to get players to rate consistently well.

Is anyone else having issues with selling or even loaning out players? I can barely give this lot away for free, much less get their value. Even when a team actually bids, my players consistently reject them (despite being on the transfer list and in the reserves.)

Your previous setup of roles and duties looked way better and more balanced than this new one (default gegen). So you have actually made it worse.
In my previous comment, I already told you what was wrong with your tactic. And that was not the setup of roles and duties. So you actually changed the last thing you should have changed.
I’m not posting tactics after one match, I’ve tried many, many things and literally nothing is working. Here’s the latest attempt where my full backs are still absolutely average and my L-IF (Son) does absolutely nothing. Same roles as the one you said looked ok, trying for a more patient build up.

Could not be further from the truth. The fact is pre-sets are guides of roles and instructions which you can use and should not be taken as gospel. Surely you're not naïve to think they'd include tactics in the game that make you win all your matches?
Tbh you say you've taken onboard some of the advice given, which you did initially, but now you've gone to a completely unbalanced tactic.
How is it unbalanced? From looking at it, it’s almost the literal definition of balance, so clearly I’m missing something about Football Manager.
I (obviously) don’t expect to win every match - I’m not a moron. The funny thing is, I was winning more than I was losing, but 90% of the squad averages less than 7. How does that work?

Thanks for all of your replies. I’ve tired to implement various things, trialling over the course of a few matches. This squad is too good for these types of performances, but I just cannot get anything going and I am currently sitting 6th, 14 points off the top. Kane and Son’s goal numbers look good, but completely skewed by some 5, 4 and 3 goal matches.
This is just the default gegenpress with the AM changed to a DM. Surely a preset tactic should work with 3 of the best players in the world?

Thanks for the reply! I’ve implemented some of the things you suggested, and things have gone ok so far. The most frustrating thing for me so far is the inconsistency of the front 3 (Son as IF-(A) is particularly frustrating) and the full backs. The full backs are averaging 6.75 and producing no assists. In the screenshot you can see the last 5 matches I have no one playing well. Despite this, we’ve won 3 (2 last minute wins from penalties and one where Kane scored 5 in a 5-0 win), drawn 1 and lost 1 (2-0 loss to Wolves away, where we had 1 shot at goal.)
Would appreciate any ideas on improving these points!

I’ve played FM for many, many years but it’s usually just putting the best players on the pitch and things will work them out (or I’ll give up and start a new game).
It’s seemingly getting hard to just plug-and-play, so I wanted some assistance in getting a tactic together for how I want to play.
I’m Tottenham, just starting out so this is how I want to play in a 4-3-3.
———
GK: Lloris - sweeper keeper or not, don’t really mind
Fullbacks: I want attacking full backs, to get high and wide when we have the ball
Centre backs: Comfortable on the ball
DM: Hjoberg to start, but I’d like to sign Declan Rice or Florentino Luis to play this role. I want someone who sits and cleans things up. Someone who can drop in as a 3rd CB when the full backs bomb on.
CM: I like the idea of a DLP and BBM (to start, Ndombele and Sissoko) but open to ideas.
IF: Bale on the right and Son on the left as inside forwards - I want these guys to get in on the goals.
FW: Kane - how do I get the most out of him. Surely should be hitting 25 goals each season.
———
I want to play a high-press, fast tempo game. Win the ball back and we immediately spring into attack. Can anyone help me achieve something like this? Appreciate your thoughts and tips.

Ability to select more leagues and an editor or more regular updates.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve tried those suggestions and it seems to have made a bit of a difference, but still struggling for consistency. Wondering if the AM could drop back as a CM - Advanced Playmaker.

Hi there,
This is something I’ve struggled with on repeated saves, so there’s obviously something wrong with how I set my team up. I create 15-20 chances, dominate possession and keep clean sheets...but just cannot score goals, and average ratings of my attacking 4 are shocking.
I’m currently Anderlecht, with one of the best teams in the league. And though we are doing ok in terms of wins and points, it’s frustrating not to dominate more (and usually my goals come from set pieces or the CM.) Then you get a game like the one I’m posting screenshots from - where I have 20 shots to 5 and lose 2-1.
I’m playing FM20 Touch and would appreciate some help! I want my striker to be scoring 15+ goals with the IF contributing 10 or so themselves.

For the millionth time on this forum … The free game does not come with the editor
Thanks mate. Sorry to have ruined your day with the question!

Trying to take advantage of the COVID free play offer and want to do some editing, but I can’t find the editor on Steam. Has it been removed? Not available during free play? Have to buy the game for it to show up?

This same issue is back this year. Is there anyway to update a file, rather than uploading it brand new every time?

Thanks! All sorted now

You dont need my system for this - you can make this in regular way and set minumum/maximum teams - for example minimum 10 /maximum 20.
Thanks for the reply. Would it then just be using the region settings to do it? I’ve tried it that way, but the borders seem obscure and confusing. If you could give me a heads up on the correct part of the editor to set that up, I will give it another shot.
Many thanks!0 -
I tried to follow your instructions for my custom regional leagues, but either I mistook some steps or the rules don’t work in my case.
As part of my system, I have one league with 4 regional leagues below. I want the Champions of each regional league to be promoted, replacing 4 teams from the top league, but I want the relegated teams to fall into their appropriate region.
For example:
2 teams from Region A, one from Region B and one from Region D are relegated
1 team from each of Region A, B, C and D are promoted. Typically, one of the Region A teams will fall into the Region C league. I want to avoid this, and for this next season, Region A will have 1 extra team, and C one less.
Is that possible with your rules?
Many thanks in advance!

This turned out to be quite popular, with over 500 subscribers on Steam, so I am in the process of re-making it for FM19.

I'm trying to release a fix for a database I've created, but there's no option to override the file - it simply uploads as a brand new file, meaning my 300+ subscribers miss out on it. I also have no way of contacting them to show how to update.
I contacted Steam directly and they say this is a FM issue:
QuoteIn the case of Football Manager 2018 it appears that the developer has setup their Workshop to where users can't update the file they uploaded which requires them to upload a new version of the Workshop item entirely. Unfortunately, this isn't something that we at Steam Support can change since the game's developer set it up in this way.
Please help?

Loving this league set up! into year 2 now!
I can't for the life of me download the logos from steam. Tried going into downloads with fm but they dont seem to download after i hit "scan for graphics"
Any chance you could upload the graphics to something? how big are the files?
Cheers!
Glad you like it!
Here's the graphics - hopefully all works. Let me know if theres any issues.

Just bumping this for anyone looking for an Australian database. 150-odd subscribers so far, all seems to work quite well.

Nice work, what about the wage limit & maximum foreigners?
No wage limit in my version, and each leg is set to a maximum of 5 foreigners (the lower leagues have slightly more)

Cannot sell players
in FM Console and FM Touch General Discussion
Posted · Edited by tommysvr
I only posted the screenshot after being frustrated by no bids for 2 months. It's happened across multiple saves (pre and post updates) with multiple players. In my latest save, I cannot sell Matt Doherty, Harry Winks or Gio Lo Celso. Lo Celso is worth £58m, and even offering him for £30m in July got nothing!
