My team is doing well overall, but I keep getting below average rating for my IWB. I bought Ivan Fresneda (supposedly one of the better players on FM24), but he also underperformed.

Here's my tactic:

I'm perfectly happy with my results, but unfortunately not my IWB. Is there something that I can try to rectify this problem? Thanks!

I guess match raitings not say too much to us actually. If my team perform well, I dont care about it too much. I use very similar set-up like yours. I tend to replace my players if they perform under 6.5 and I am confident in my tactic and think the problem is caused by the player. Otherwise I make tactical changes where I see problems. In your case, it might be player issue most of matches. Your tactic is not look like so unbalanced to me. And also, dont forget every opposition not play same against you. You are playing 3-2 rest defence for now and some oppositions could try to counter this rest defence. I like IWB-MEZ-W combo but you could need something else in some matches.

I'm glad you asked! Player attributes and roles work together to determine how a player will perform on the pitch. The attributes are the individual skills and abilities of the player, while the role is the specific instructions that are given to the player on the field. For example, a player with high dribbling and pace attributes might be a good fit for the "winger" role, which focuses on running down the wing and beating defenders. Do you have any specific questions about attributes and roles?
The short answer is no, a player will not perform an attribute if their role does not allow it. In your example, a player with a high work rate attribute would not necessarily work harder if they are playing a role that does not call for a high work rate. In other words, the role takes priority over the attributes. Does that help to answer your question?

I dont think so. For example; Even a player which was chosen for easy tackling, you could see his hard and bad time tackling and get a red card if he has this low sportmenship etc. Or, even if a player which was chosen not to dribble, you could see him dribbling fair enough if he has high dribbling and traits etc. Or, think about DLF with Offside trap trais etc.

I do use IFB(d) on both sides making it a 3-2-5. I have zero traditional full backs on my team. This is the height of all of my defenders.

I like using the DLF(a) to link up with the other players. I felt like the PF(a)/AF was getting isolated at times, and I don't see any problems using DLF(a) with two wingers on the sides. They will still make runs in behind and so will the CM(a) and BBM.

Hide contents

How do you find CM(a) on middle? He generally run forward too early than I like besides I like to play very much fluidity with positive mentality in these days unless I am highly underdog. In these kind of matches I tend to start with atleast balanced mentality and balanced fluidity. I wonder what do you think about CM(a) role and the player type you choose with it. Because we are not too far away with our set-ups.

Both sound fine to me based on that.

On media handling I'm usually looking for Unflappable (pressure), Reserved (indicating professionalism) or Evasive (my personal favorite).

Volatile/Confrontational can be red flags if not paired with a strong personality like Perfectionist.

Level headed is generally good, but just doesn't really tell you too much.

Media Friendly is the Media Handling version of balanced, it can range from pretty solid mentals to a problem player. I would look at the pairing Personality/Determination to get a better feel.

In your case, this is paired with Professional personality (one of the best you can have), so I wouldn't worry.

Ambition is very difficult to get a read on, which is a big reason why Perfectionist/Model Citizen are such great personalities.

I value Professionalism extremely highly in my own squad building, so even if these two don't get along I wouldn't be too concerned. My guess is that the media friendly guy is a bit low in one of the lesser hidden attributes. The big four personality attributes I look for are Ambition, Determination, Professionalism (all help with development, among other things) + Pressure.

Generally you need to be more picky on the potential for problem players when looking at newgens. SI doesn't want to get sued, so you don't see the truly terrible personalities as often on real players. Slack, spineless, unambitious etc. are newgen only and you can get newgens who go out partying or go AWOL on practice. Potential problem real players will have Balanced because SI either doesn't know or doesn't want to say

A players mentals will go up over time, if these are U23 players I would say both have exceptional personalities. Their mentals will naturally improve as they age and this can be double down on in how you build your staff/squad. With a proper squad culture/dyamics/squad leaders, they can grow into proper mentality monsters for you.

I get it now, thank you for answering and taking time 🙏 Btw, we share same principles on mentality and media handling 😁

Thats the way I like to play. High load is essential in the start of season. I push them as much as I can. The injuries can be acceptable for me in this period. And I prefer lower the risk of injuries in the end off season.

January 16

As far as I remember, he was using specific mark instruction instead of tight marking in some matches like chelsea eg. You should check his City recreation on FM23.

I'm doing somewhat of a recreation and wanting to cause numbers advantage in certain areas. Having the AP on the left when playing narrow, wouldn't allow the IW to come as narrow as I like. He would also attract the ball more than those two roles, which kind of goes what I want to happen down the left side. I want the IW and WR to be the natural creators on that side. I actually have more attacking options this way, as the AP can drift out left at times but doesn't do it all the time. So we have unpredictability in the team too.

We want to create as much space as we can, not cover it up. We want to encourage the opposition to come into these areas and then we can force turnovers and swarm the area with aggressive pressing. This then causes the AI to be out of shape and we can use this new space that has opened up.

I see, it is more clear to me now, thanks 🙏

The Carrilero is responsible for providing support and balance to the midfield, ensuring that the central areas of the pitch are adequately covered. They work tirelessly to link the defensive and attacking units by winning the ball, maintaining possession, and distributing it effectively.

Hi @Cleon mind-opening as always, thank you👌

One thing I wonder. Wouldnt be CAR more fit on the right and AP on the left side? I assume CAR could cover the space behind the IF and AP could get a little bit space with IW which could stay wide more than IF. Also, couldnt it helps with overload left and freeing IF on 1v1 situation. What do you think when you was choosing sides with these two roles?

I try to make some advice in my tactic creation, and i need to tell that your advice are more efficent.. like we don t lose the ball in the final third, beacuse we press high and we cant lose the ball when we are in possession.. so, i put only 2/3 roles with risk passes(bpd,rpm and if, maybe if but i can put iw with different pi than other iw), the forward is a pf with take less risk, the same dm-s.. fb without go forward help to build up the offensive phase, his pi is to stay wider, try to put him to support the phase in all construction.. with this modifies i see the possession like 60/65% in every 6 games that i ve play..

the duo Cm-so and Rpm is fantastic.. cover the pitch and drop off to receive the ball (rpm has direct passes with risk, is the creator).. i like this setup for now..

SK/BPD/RPM is a very very good set-up against high press. FBs and CD could keep possession in a safety way and you have a bwm to disturb oppositions play and an opportunity to win second balls along with CM. I like the set-up. If there is one thing could be thinking about, it would be sacrificing wide. Sometimes, you could be forced against deeper sides. I would consider a MEZ with right foot instead of CM, and a winger with right foot instead of IW on the left side. That way, mez could go wide with ball on the right side and winger could stay wide and then come inside on the left side and you could achieve more wide option in these kind of games.

Check the Media Handling of each player. That will give you more of an insight on if you should be concerned or not.

On Driven: that's a personality that can hide a lot of other personalities within it, as what it indicates is 17+ determination w/fairly capped ambition.

Thanks for helping 🙏

Stuggling one is Fairly prof with level-headed media handling and other one is prof with media friendly media handling. As far as we know they have both 1-14 controversy and +15 professionalism. I wonder what is the reason for this situation. And how could I avoid . Or can I avoid it?

January 15

Hello everyone. In my 6 season of career, I have a player who has fairly professional personality, struggling to connect with someone who has professional personality. Is that normal? I mean in previous version, I had a driven player stuggling to connect with professional player but never happened before with fairly prof and prof. Also, do you have any idea how should I manage this situation? Btw they are in same mentoring group with model citizen players.

I'll try wingback suggestion but both attack duties in the left wing isn't sounds good. It looks too much for me. What's your opinion about that?

In this version of FM, I tend to pay more attention to positional play and “rest defence.” With choice of CM instead of AP, you are getting kinda 2-3 rest def with your CM/DM/IWB. Because your CM doesnt move like AP for positional play. Having defensively reliable CM could help here. Though I prefer 3-2 rest def for coviring wings.

January 15

I agree with CM(s) idea instead of AP. Also, I would think about B2B or MEZ(s) instead of CM(a). They could involve build up phase more than a CM(a) and be still scoring thread with right player and traits, if CM(a) was going forward too early than you like. Other than that, WB(a) could be a choice instead of CWB as a more consistent wide option on the left side because of being extra narrow with IF.

I was reading again @Rashidi’s book. I saw something that might interest you. You should have a look.

Its from his book:

January 14

If you are interested, here a video of Xavi’s thoughts about importance of creating numerical superiorities and getting second balls. You can also find a lot of other things about possession orianted styles on the video.

but I guess that’s one of the flaws of a high possession system. Might experiment with trying to minimise the amount of counters I get hit by.

Couldnt agree more with this. As a fun of possession based football in my opinion, thats the weaknesses of possession orianted style IRL and FM. Because you are the playing one with ball, slowing things, taking time, opposition have much more time and chance to win the ball on their own half and you have much more time to make a mistake compared to fast transition style. Thinking about rest defence carefully and having numerical superiority are vital things on these kind of styles. Thats why Guardiola obsessed with his wing backs and central backs and trying lots of different things with them 😂

- I would choose WB(s) instead of FB(s) for some width on the left side. Also, there are already two holding midfielder. In my opinion, FB is too way conservative in this setup.

- I would choose standard or even lower LOA for utilising my AF and SS.

I would start with this simple changes and make changes based on what I see.

Hi all,

I may have seen a thread on this, but can't find it (and I think it got closed anyway), but I am trying to get a better idea of what the passing range and tempo settings actually do, because I think it's not obvious or intuitive from the description, and I am starting to wonder if they maybe two of the most important setting in the tactics screen.

Tempo would imply something to do with speed and energy, but what I think is actually the case is it's more about 'aggressiveness', so a high tempo setting really means a more attacking approach (ie. an attacking vs defensive mentality).

Passing similarly doesn't actually seem to me short passes versus long balls. Pass it shorter seems to actually play out as the team making more conservative passes and keeping possession, whilst more direct seems to mean going for more progressive passes, not necessarily long ones.

Does this match other people experiences? Is it essentially the old mentality setting hidden with two innocuous sliders?

Lower tempo- slowing things. Taking time. Thinking more. Lower pulse, lower rush decisions. Going opposition’s goal with a slow way.

Higher tempo- opposite all of above. Speed up things. Not taking as much as time and thinking as much as lower tempo. Higher tempo, higher rush decisions. Going opposition’s goal with a quick way.

So with a more direct passing and more higher tempo, your players could bypass the midfielders more than a lower tempo and shorter passing. And this situation could be repeated much more with higher tempo/ direct passing than shorter passing/ lower tempo.

I generally choose my tempo setting according to the play style in my mind. If I would like to benefit my deeper players, I go with slower. And vica verse. Its not the rule btw, its just the way I like.

I actually think you've got the overlap on the wrong side. In my experience a Raumdeuter works better when the wide play is a little focused down the other side, allowing him to lose his marker in the box/at the back post. I would use an attacking FB/WB on the left and the IFB behind the RMD. This shouldn't be your only route to goal but is more logical than having the overlap on his side forcing him to make runs later when the box is more congested, especially as you're using WBIB.

Makes sense to me. And you could overlap naturally with WB(a) role on left. According to Rashidi’s Book of the Roles’ book, I would be careful to use overlap instruction with the same sided AP. Because it could effect AP’s movement.

this is our tactic now. AF scored 38 in 37 last season and started this season with 10 in 6. but we still have a problem conceding most of our goals from through balls or balls over the top. we especially have a difficult time playing on these stupid square la liga pitches, there just seems to be so much space and gap between defenders on those fields. nearly all those games have been +5 goals games.

Looks much more solid to me. I tend to change 1-2 roles and/or duty according to situation and/or oppenents. For example I use 3-2 rest def against 2 striker as IWB-BPD-CD-IFB at the back. In some situations I use 2-3 rest def with 2 IWB. Always looking for numerical superiority at the back according to oppenent’s attacking style.

In more recent saves I've preferred playing a PF(s) w/the attributes of a TF so the play is less one dimensional while offering more defensive structure.

Thats what I like about PF. And as @fraudiola said, it could be hard to find nice TF in regen territory.

good off the ball is a bonus

Now you got what I mean bro 👍

January 10

@fraudiola Btw, I dont associate clearing the ball with TF’s attribitues. If you read my comments, I said lots of thing like defenders behavior and risk situations before coming TF. It was a “possibilty” we are talking about which came in my mind. There is nothing wrong about TF and its function. You should re-read them 😁

what are you talking about mate? why are you comparing a plain old TF to pirlo and messi as f9?

TF doesnt require so many attributes to function.

Im not compairing roles or players. Im talking about “off the ball” instruction. And gave some example IRL player and how they move. Pirlo had amazing off the ball skill to recieve a pass and pass it to other guy from deeper area. And I guess I dont need to talk about messi. @thebreadlady said TF isnt running behind, so off the ball isnt related. I tried to help him to understand how it could be related. Isnt off the ball related coming deep from forward position to backward position? Is it just about running behind?
So whats weird about that? 😂

I started using such hybrid between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3. Generally I love it, it's pretty versatile tactic with various types of goals etc. The only thing that annoys me is that in possesion, my CM (A) positions himself almost always near the left side. His PI's are "more roaming", "take more risk" and "move into channels". I expect him to make more moves near my AP(S) but somehow he chooses the left channel and my stiker the right one. I tried to remove his PI's, I tried the other players on the CM but also CF positions (both my starting players are left footed, I thought that this might have some impact on their moves) but nothing changed. I also changed my tactic to be the mirror version: AP(S) on the left and IF(A) on the right, VOL on the DMR, DM on the DML. Still the same - CM(A) almost always positions himself on the left side of my striker. What else could I try? Any ideas?

Did you try IWB on the left? IWB’s move could make VOL a bit more higher freely and your CM could move to the right. Also, you could get 2-2 rest def with IWB. Just an idea but worth to try.

For the rest, it looks like very balanced setup, I love how it look.
