I haven't got a screenshot to hand at the moment, but am i doing something wrong in installing? Near enough every panel / page i view doesn't fit the screen in full view. Play on 85% zoom, aswell as trying out on other zoom's too but can't seem to figure out why it doesn't fit.

How would you say these two systems fair with the positional play rotations? I've tried to design two systems for a 2-3 and a 3-2 build up, and it does play out nicely, but is there any roles which could clash when the rotations are triggered?

Great thread, always look out for your posts as they're very informative and always a good read! Was just wondering what you think of the system I have at the moment? Been trying to get a 4-4-2 going, and with my main goalscorer getting injured I had to tweak a little. CB's both have 9 pace, so a high line for compression with a mid block is out of the equation, and we've not been bad this season, missing out on championship group by 1 point. But found our defending can be pretty passive at times, and attacks our pretty stale 90% of the time. This system is newly tweaked, but wanted to see if there were any glaring errors in it from a set up point of view.

Can you define what you mean by saying they need to be quite broad?

Not sure if it’s a common thing across all teams, but I noticed it last year too. When managing West Brom, I noticed that the heights of players were never the same.. Akeel Higgins was 5’7 on one save, and 6 foot on another. Reyes Cleary was 5’6, 5’8 and 5’11 on separate saves. Bit odd seeing as that a players physical information shouldn’t be different at the start of saves? Is it a common bug across the whole game?

With the update that’s dropped today, is this issue going to be resolved?

West Brom - The finances at the start of the game don’t seem to match up to how they are in real life and seems a tad unrealistic. Starting balance is relatively healthy, when in real life it is not the case as we don’t have much cash in the bank and were almost relying on player sales to keep the club running day to day as the finances are so stretched. The ownership status is also wrong. It states in game the owner is Enjoying/Loving life at the club, when in reality he is looking to sell and we are also in very early talks with a few parties. Has been absent and also looking to sell up for quite a while now too so not sure why this hasn’t been reflected in game.

To be fair, I am just experimenting with it at the moment. But with the mentality being on positive, and using the Step up more TI, I'm trying it out for the keeper to be more closer to the defence as part of the "rest defence". Ideally I'd like him positioned further out from goal to give him a better chance of sweeping up any balls over the top, and also increase the likelihood that he attempts to help out in the build up more efficiently and higher up the pitch than you would expect. So far so good though, he is currently the goalkeeper attempting the most passes per 90, has the most saves per game (probably due to our standard of team), and has 6 clean sheets from 10 without making any errors from being caught out high off his line.

Changes worked a treat

This is the attributes and traits for my choice of player to play the AP(A) role, and then this is the set up I could try, unless I possibly use a poacher as previously suggested? Or is the AF or another striker role more suited now I've changed the roles of the RW and RB?

Thankyou I did word that wrong to be fair, had meant to come across for what role CM next to an AP out wide, keep it as the CM (s)? And then use the WB (a) or use it on support instead?

I can give that a try for the RB, only left the roles as they were as I wanted to try and create a 3-2 or a 2-3 in the build up, but I think my RB has player traits that suit a WB (A) more so I’ll give that a whirl. I’ll try that for the passing slider too. I did actually want to try and use an AP on the RW, as my best right winger has dictates tempo as a player trait and the back up has comes deep to get ball trait, so would you change the CM role next to him? Yeah I flicked through after posting and saw you mention about the advanced playmaker. I’ll check Lewis Cook’s attributes when im home, as Lerma is just a stopgap option there due to a major injury crisis and normally players the DM role

Apologies for the poor photo, didn’t have chance to get a proper screenshot before work. Was wondering what changes I could make to help my tactic be a bit more threatening going forward? Defensively we are solid, getting 0-0 draws against City and Spurs, aswell as keeping 5 clean sheets from 8. But going forward it just doesn’t excite me. I’m seeing possession numbers of 60%+ but the shot on target numbers is quite low to the number of shots we’re having. Short passing was only used to try and help us keep the ball better as we’re a weaker side, but could this be an issue?

Currently trying to get a 4-2-3-1 DM formation working, but can't seem to get anything to click.. We're either very passive or very clinical, and there is no consistency. Had a little tinker and I wanted to try this out, but is there any glaring holes in the tactic that anyone can point out? Or any role / TI changes that would be good to use with this formation? Any feedback would be appreciated, as I'm sick of using my old faithful 4-3-3 and this formation suits my squad best
