I get this kind of leaves on different saves in different times. I suspect it has something to do with the fitness of the player - but can find zero explanations in the game for that.

Happens again on matchday 35. No international break. They just all leave for six days. What is it?

The last thing I will suggest is to verify your game files through Steam or Epic otherwise report it as a bug.
Update: after closing the game and reopening it (also new update installed), it is now working. Seems like deleting the preferences + clearing cache was the solution after all.
Thank you guys!

You need to check the option to "show hidden files"
Thanks, found it!
So even after deleting said folder + clearing cache and reloading skin - the scoring analysis stays empty for me. Frustrating.

little update on this: this specific folder doesn't seem to exist for me (there's no folder called AppData either), but clearing cache definitely didn't help.
Did anyone have the same issue before? I can't be the first one

Try clear your cache and delete the preferences folder and then try again.

The analyst report for scoring stays empty for me. This happens in every save, every skin, and for both my own team as well as opposition teams.
The conceding graph does work properly.
Anyone had this?

Not sure what I think about this.
My first attempt was PSV, I've set up a pretty bad, overly attacking tactic and got destroyed 7-5 (!) by Hercales in the first league match. CL Qualifiers also saw me getting disappointing results.
Second attempt was with Maccabi Tel Aviv, one of the top two sides in Israel.
Maccabi did win the league a few years ago with season records like 27-8-1 and and 26-9-1, so I can't say my results are completely unrealistic - but it is quite a stretch.
Not sure what I think

Another very exciting win for PSV yesterday.
If anyone here watched that game as well, I'd love to hear your FM insights!

If the current set up works well in the league, I'd stick to it
When hoping for a draw against a stronger team, I'd prioritize keeping more players behind the ball at all times. This could be achieved by switching the wingbacks to FB-S/D, and perhaps pulling the AML/AMR back to ML/MR.
A positive mentality will still encourage players to take more risks and position themselves higher up the field - which could be a good idea, but if you find it happens too much, taking it down to "balanced" will help.
Higher D Line and higher LoE are also a rather aggressive, risky strategy when defending.
Typically big underdogs will look to protect space by remaining more compact.

@Chris2509 so what do you suggest mate?
A good start would be -
1. Turn the WB-S into FB-S/D
2. Turn the RPM into CM-D / BWM-D
3. Revert to standard lines and pressing
However, my best suggestion would be to read this first:

Lowering the lines can only help so much - it's still a very aggressive formation by nature, and your choice of mentality, roles and duties makes it even more aggressive.
Both wingback push up high, the RPM roams and leaves the center - who's holding position in case your attack breaks down? With the current set up it's basically down to both CBs and no one else.

I'm still a bit in the past on FM19 - although given this is an FM18 thread technically I'm in the future
Anyway, this is copy-pasted from the Online Manual
If you guys have something more recent that supersedes it, by all means please share I'm not out to win an argument.
Honestly I think your quote actually supports what has been said by others and myself - the jumping reach attribute already factors in the height. But I can see why it might be confusing, they worded it rather poorly.

The in-game hint states it quite clearly I think. But if I were to explain it in my own terms, I'd say if your hypothetical two guys face off from a standing start, they're both going to get their feet the same distance off the ground, only the tall one's head will naturally be 10 inches higher up!
Of course when you put it into a game situation everything's a factor - a whole host of mental and physical attributes to put them in the right place, at the right time, to even make the jump.
I'm not sure you're right about this, the description of the attribute is "reflects the highest point that a player can reach with his head", so this should be an absolute term - regardless of height (i.e. 11 jumping reach gets you to the same point off the ground, no matter how tall or short you are).

I've read the article from TFA and watched some of the match (full match is on youtube), and thought of this.
You can see Madueke on the right hug the line quite a bit with Mwene standing narrower than him. First I wasn't convinced of making Max this aggressive but he's constantly making crazy runs, even though he rarely ends up in the last line as Wing Backs to in FM when you are camping in the opposition's half but the fact is, that PSV rarely does that anyway since they don't care losing the ball if they get a good press trigger anyway.
The Gotze role I'm quite unsure, you can see him standing right to Zahavi in a more classic 4-2-2-2 shape quite a bit so I thought of shifting him to the RAMC, but on the heat map shown in the TFA article he's mostly operating in the left half space so keeping him in the middle and let him make his decisions himself could be the best replication of that in FM.
I'd start by just using Attacking Mentality for quick transitions and the extremely urgent pressing with High/High lines you can obviously see here, was amazed seeing a Roger Schmidt team in full force again. Then use OIs to press the opponent's FBs and maybe if you want to prepare like that look for victims in their Centre Backs/Midfielders with bad composure, vision, passing to press as well. On attacking one less attacking width and to replicate the very narrow press force opposition outside. Then add TIs depending on the opponent and what you can see in the match engine.
Fantastic, love it. Thank you!

I need to look into this deeper to be able to contribute to a replication but I wanted to ask why Gotze as SS? Schmidt is a 4-2-2-2 Red Bull dogmatic who now switched to this 4-2-3-1 to give Gotze a more central position playing to his strengths so I'd thought that it would be more like an AP or Treq role?
You might be right, I'm not sure about my choice.
My observation was that he contributed to the team pressing too much to be a Treq.
He was also consistently moving into channels and looking to score, another trait the sounds more like an SS than an AP.

I got inspired by their 5-1 win and would like to try and implement their style in FM.
I've watched some parts of the match and read this tactical analysis:
And this is what I came up with.
Not sure about some of the roles.
Positive
Play out of defence
More direct
Higher Tempo
(pass into space?)
(fairly narrow?)
Counter
Counter PressHigher D Line
(much) Higher line of engagement
Much more urgent pressing
Prevent GK short DistributionForce opposition outside
Would love to hear your insights, especially if you've watched the whole game

I'd be interested in hearing your experience with this.
I find that even within a winning system and a very well performing team, getting DMs (anchor men, for example) to achieve a high average rating is very difficult.
For me this has also been the case with CMs who aren't expected to score or assist much - the match engine rarely seems to think they've had an exceptional game.
Has this been the case for you as well?
A couple of examples. Palhinha mostly played as an anchor man.
Both of them have been a part of very succesful seasons.

I'm sorry you feel this way, but your approach to this thread has been very bad.
You post a tactic, people give you very good and precise advice - next thing we see is you posting a new team and a new tactic, disregarding everything that has been said.

WHen I set up it differently it is onyl the worst. And with Arsenal, Roma or Seviila I tried many tactics, altough I was always trying to put it logical, I mean without some extremes...
I honestly don't think you've put much thought into fixing what has been suggested here - which is why you can't expect very different results in my opinion.
Even if you like attacking with many players, think about where they end up on the pitch with the roles and duties they're given - then think what happens when you lose the ball, and who's supposed to cover for them.
In all of the tactics here so far, there's not enough covering players (for my taste), and some of them aren't suited to the task either.

I'm not sure why are you expecting very different results when your tactic is still about the same. It hasn't even changed much from the first pic in this thread.

Thank you for your great post, it is so obvious you care...
I listened to some of your advices and beat Atletico away, but in next game I lost home to Betis (had all the same like against Atletico only tweaked positive mentallity). And then lost to Eibar, (was losing 4:0) ://
I see what you wanted to say to me, but it is still the same issue, but I still dont get it how to play for example quick passing game, or defensive game against bigger sides, or possesion game, or through the middle to feed strikers, or with one striker (433, 4231).... I still dont know anything, dont know direction to go... Was it purpose to be this hard? I mean, I am person of maybe average IQ, I love this game (playing it from CM 00/01), exploring tactics from end of november and I STILL didnt figure it out.
Averagely intelligent person who loves the game and have experience should have master it in two months time. Ii is hard to motivate yourself to play it when every game is some different problems
In FM 2020 I knew that it is ideal to play higher tempo, etc., here I dont know how to set up, for me this is all 100000 combinations and I dont know how to adapt. But, once again, you helped me a lot with your advices
Two games is too little to judge, and you had a good result in one of them, but keep this in mind -
both Rakitic and Oliver are very poor defensively. Check out their marking, tackling, positioning, bravery, aggression - they're all around 8-12.
You let the wingers bomb forward and allow Rakitic to roam from position. So in most cases, you'll have one, maybe two players covering the central area when you lose the ball - and both of them aren't good at it.
You also ask the team to press more - which will pull them even more out of position.
I'm not saying it can't work - but you should expect to be very leaky in defence. And Eibar took an advantage of it on that day.

Great post, @Crazy_Ivan! Enjoyed reading it. Could you elaborate on why you chose to add "fairly narrow" and "focus play down the flanks"?

Hey man.
Don't let it get to you like that. If you're finding it too difficult - try starting from presets and assistant's recommendations.
Also, I highly recommend you read the following guide, it could help a lot with some of the problems you face/create with your tactic:
To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, this is what your second tactic looks like when your team has the ball - based on the roles you've assigned:
That would be without the team instructions.
On top of that, you're playing wide (so even bigger gaps between players), your defensive line pushes high and you press high.
Can you see why it would be very easy for a good opponent to score goals against you? Especially when you lose the ball in their half.

I've been having repeated issues with these screens. The right panels keep acting up and showing no data.
At some point people here adviced me to delete cache and preferences - this seemed to help once, but doing this now doesn't solve the current issue.
Any other ideas?
