  1. It has not improved it. Defending is rotten, despite playing a pressing style, defenders literally just stand passive as people run past them and the long punt from the keeper is just mind blowing.....defenders either never win a header or when they are in 30 yds of space with players either side, they just head it back into no mans land and opposition counter on you. The shots/goals thing will never be fixed but its something that I just accept now....don't get bothered by it as its pointless. There are games in FM you simply will not win, I just move on now. Pointless dwelling on one game, tactic tweaks, obvious changes just don't have an effect in certain games. I doth my cap to players I see and read who are getting players into the 60+ goals a season, just don't see how its possible.
  2. In my third season with Feyenoord, in Jan Transfer window Newcastle & Celtic activated the very low release clause of £28.5m for Datro Fofana (couldn't sign him without it, wouldn't let me put it higher).....thankfully Endrick was still at SEP with a £20m release clause and after 2.5 years trying he was finally very reluctantly interested My problem.....after 3 weeks with the club and failing to sign a defender in Jan that he believed improved us.....he has handed in a transfer request!!!! Thankfully I got through the window without a bid, I assume he couldn't leave anyway but is this salvageable. If I sign someone in Summer will he change his mind?? Really need to find a solution. Scored 5 goals in 2 games in Uefa Europa League (new format in 2024/25 and has 5 goals in 5 in league games....I see what the hype is. Would like atleast a full season Any tips on turning this ship around would be appreciated
  3. I just wondered if anyone had views on what the sweetspot % was for goals scored against shots taken. im playing as Feyenoord. 1st season finished runner-up. My main striker bagged 31 goals but was so wasteful in games. Given he scored 30+ its difficult to be unhappy. I started looking at goal stats as generally I was on top most games creating and having significantly more goal attempts but never really seemed to build on the dominance in games with goals. Lots of close games scoreline wise but not statistically. 2nd season much the same. Sitting 2nd behind PSV again. Same thread of loads of possession, lots of shots, not the number of goals I was hoping for. Delving into it….overall I noticed 1st season I had a conversion of about 12% based on total shots against actual goals (936/114) 2nd season running roughly the same. Looking at main rivals, PSV and Ajax run at closer to 14%…based on my total goal attempts thats about another 20 goals a season Just wondered if others had studied this area and what % they run at. Any tips to boost goals greatly received!!
  4. Yes, my F9 is really struggling, apart from the odd very well worked tap in which look great in terms of build-up they very rarely feature. Working through various options but can't seem to find a solution to this. In some games they are non-existant.
  5. Playing attributeless….next level that haha. yes, I thought it would be better to flip it, it hasnt affected it so far…fingers crossed. Definately a bit more potent now the 2 players I felt would be better connected on the left of the formation are together on ATT on that side Just on the half-back….again I know you are playing attributeless in the one described but just general question do you think this is more suited to a CB or a DM. I only ask as Im short of depth for suitable midfielders but have a CB with what I think are ideal attributes, currently contemplating whether to re-train him in that position or just play him anyway
  6. Really interesting read. I have implemented this with a new Feyenoord save and from the outset comfortably into high 60's low 70's of possession each match. Just a couple of queries / changes that I was looking to implement purely on available players.....you have set your left IW on support and right IW on attack....was this based on the strength of the players you had. With Feyenoord it would suit current squad to have this reversed so the left IW is set to attack and right to support. Just wondered if you thought this would affect it. I am going to alter this tonight and see what the outcome is. I was planning to also flip the RPM and Mezz to keep the ATT selections on same side as best candidate for the Mezz I just think would be more suited to the left side. Also, how did you find goals output form the F9. Again I think its purely personnel available, Feyenoord pretty weak in the forward options from the start.....but just struggling to get them into the games Very encouraging start implementing this as its the style I prefer teams to play and it definitely dominates the ball. I have noticed some very good set-up play from this which in a few games has created very simple chances for F9 to score
