[Board unhappy about the number of different formations used]

Hi, in FM20 my board are "Unhappy about the number of different formations used".

Do they think I am using too many formations or not enough?
I'm presuming too many, though it could be clearer.

I have used 4 formations in the past month.

It seems a weird thing to say - are my board just finickity perfectionists?

Will it go away if I settle down to 2 or 3 formations?
How long would that take to happen?
(I have stopped using the 4-4-2 Diamond Narrow they are complaining about as it wasn't defensive enough)

Is there a limit to how many formations you can use during a particular time period?

 

Thanks!

[[Suggestion] Opposition instructions - never use Hard Tackling option]

I hope to understand that your suggestion already exist in the game; plus I would call it "conflict". Telling a player to Show Onto Weaker Feet, but not in hard mode (that option already exist) is conflict with what's the purpose of what already exist in the game. What you are suggest is putting a "pressure" on weak feet, but this can achieved with various methods. 

I think you have misunderstood my suggestion.
I am not wanting any change to the show onto weaker foot behaviour.

[[Suggestion] Opposition instructions - never use Hard Tackling option]

 

I would like to an option to never use hard tackling.

I don't want my team to play dirty, and I don't want the increased risk of injuries that it brings.

But I do want to accept my AM's other helpful suggestions on closing down, show opposition onto weaker foot etc.

So before I start every game I have turn off all the AM's suggestions on which opposition players to tackle hard.

And I have to do it during the game when the AM makes more random suggestions to do this.

This should be a once-only option. Perhaps when setting up tactics.

If not then even just once per match rather than having to turn it off for every player.

[FM20 - wrong manager shown in press conference]

In the press conference, I was discussing the upcoming cup match. Opposition manager of Blyth is Lee Clark.

Then I got this question about the manager of Accrington who I have a loanee from.

The background information is referring to the wrong manager.

 

[Tackling advice - can it be turned off globally]

Hi, using FM20.

I would like to never tackle hard.

Currently I use my assistant's advice but that always includes some hard tackling, which I then have to manually turn off every time.

And not just before the match - he often sets hard tackling on selected players during the match which I then have to turn off.

I don't want the increased risk of injuries, and I don't want my team to be dirty.

(although I presume if playing a ball-winning midfielder they would still keep their personal tackle harder instructions)

Is it possible to do this, while still using the assistant's advice for marking, closing down, weaker foot, etc. ?
