A little introduction of myself as this is my first post in here.
I am 28 years old and live in Norway where I dream of being a football manager every day as I play FM. I follow the Norwegian league (Rosenborg) and EPL (Liverpool).
I have played CM/FM for a long time and have had reasonable success in all versions without downloading tactics. But for the last two years I have struggled to “understand” the game..
I have been lurking around for three years on this forum and I have learned a lot from all of you.
My problem can be split in several pieces but the main issue is – spotting tactical flaws within my system. On the older versions, if I took over a club I would just put together a formation and plot suitable players in them and it all worked OK. I would then go hunting for players that suited that type of role, not system, and the team got stronger for each new player I added. I am by no means saying that I won the champions league first year with Rosenborg on every FM up until now, but I could win the league with Liverpool comfortable. This type of approach didn’t need me to fully understand the match engine, but things change...
The last year I have tried to do things different and just implement a system beforehand and plot players suited for that type of role I have I mind, and this is where my main issue occurs, how do I know that my players are doing the right thing? How do I know that the move that player just did was the right one?
Reason for struggling I think lies within the tactical system. All the success I have had on FM I have played attacking and direct football, but the last year I have tried to do a mix with possession/direct, without luck.
SO, main issues; know the system and how the players should behave in it.
This is more of a question about finding areas within a tactic that needs fixing and how to understand that my players are doing the right thing. Therefor I don’t think pictures would help very much. I can add pictures if needed though J
