[[FM21] Return of the Phoe Nix - Rise of the Raven. FC Isle of Man Youth Save.]

@Punchjust wanted to congratulate you on all your success here.

This is one of (if not the best) youth save thread I have read on the forums.

Brings back memories of IK Tord on this forum way back when.

Absolutely! Total bagger, unfortunately not real!

 

Cherno & Ton ton were both great, had them at Leicester City in my game.

Lee Novak brings back memories, he was one of my favourites.

Going back to when it was called championship manager I still remember players like "Steve Palmer" from Telford or raiding Cheltenham for Mike Duff

[Will anyone be buying FM21?]

I absolutely will be buying it as I do each year.

I don't find it too easy now but don't find it too difficult, a happy medium.

I can see how those completely new to the game do struggle but if the idea is to make it as realistic a simulator as possible rather than an arcade experience this is going to get progressively worse.

[[3-5-2] - not converting chances & unable to have possession - please help]

@karanhsingh I believe you've got some good advice in this thread already but I will just add my 2cents with a few tidbits.

1. You should look at the quality of your chances rather than the number, unfortunately the in game stats don't take that into account. Try searching for the SIBOT method by @Rashidi on his Bustthenet channel, that should help you.
2. If you want to have a possession team or even to create better chances I would analyse your players, such as your three CMs & two wing backs. What do their Off the ball / first touch / vision / passing / composure / decisions stats look like? If you want to keep possession and cut the opposition open you're going to need players with those stats, if the average of those 5 players isn't high, say only hovering around 13 (league average) then how will you manage that? You'd need your 3 CMs constantly looking for space (off the ball) and then having the ability to take a good touch (first touch), locate & find the right person while under pressure (vision, passing, composure & decisions).

@michaeltmurrayuk great effort on this, it is fantastic. I did notice that the new patch removes the roles & duties, is there anyway to get these back for the opposition?

Thanks!

Thanks for this Cleon it is awesome. Reading the game, tweaking and making changes is still something I really struggle with after various versions so threads such as this are invaluable.
