So, I've asked this before in here but still don't get it, so here we go again... Regardless of what team I am, no matter the players, I always lose to teams that use this disgusting abomination for a tactic::
You know, the one with two DMC:s. I am currently Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga, and Every. Singe. Team. meet me with this nasty little piece of cat litter content, and I cannot for the life of me deal with it. I have players that should win against these teams with a severe hangover and two sprained ankles, but no. I hardly get any shots on goal, and even if I do, their goalkeeper saves it. If I ever score goals, it's mostly from set pieces or penatlies. I've tried different tactics, different mentalities, different instructions, different players, but nothing works. Quickly passing the ball over their defense? Not working. Slowly and sexy build up the attack and wait for an opportunity? Not working. It's cursed. My players do everything except what i expect a capped and experieced player to do. They act confused and like this is their very first time playing soccer football ever, and they either pass the ball between them until they lose it to the opposition, or just straight up howl the ball halfway over the pitch to the feet of one of the players from the other team so they can start a devastating attack. It's like a sad dance of clowns.
I don't know what more to try. Should I just accept defeat and cry in the bed with a extra large pack of Ben and Jerrys? Uninstall FM and look for something less unforgiving and stressful?
How do you deal with this? Please explain it like i am a little dumb toddler with no knowledge of the intimidating world of FM tactics.
Some FAQ:s based on my earlier attempts in here:
What tactics have you tried? Probably all of them.
Gegenpress!!!1 Not the silver bullet.
What team shape/mentality/instructions have you tried? If there's a button or a slider in the instructions, I have tried it (with the tactical knowledge of a dumb toddler).
What kind of players do you have? Most of them are hard working, disciplined, capped, sexy, skilled five star players in the Austrian Bundesliga, but if I need a certain kind of skillset in the team to win, I am prepared to buy other players.
Are your players complacent/unhappy/untrained/whatever? Not from what I can see,
Can you upload your save game for us all to laught at? I rather not.
Are you an tactical illiterate? Why yes, yes I am.
