I would want Rashford or Hojlund as spearheading number 9's with their profiles. Either a Poacher or an AF.
On Martial, if he's on the left hand side I would distill his ability down to a player who can run with the ball very well. He's quick, strong, has a good agi/balance combo + dribbling fair. An off footed winger support role would help make space for either of your cable 9's to finish off chances. I wouldn't want him in a role like IF where others are working for him as his off the ball is 12 which is a problem on a player you want scoring goals for you.
- Pulling/pinning the fullback out wide and providing the ability to beat a man will help break down teams that sit back against you (which is going to happen a lot as Man United).
Looking like I've gone about this tactic all wrong
May have to restart it from scratch again

Sorry, unclear on my part regarding height. The game mostly cares about Jumping Reach compared to the height itself. The height plays some factor in being able to reach the ball, but it's largely inconsequential compared to the jumping reach itself (so you're really looking at Martial Jumping Reach 9 vs Rashford Jumping Reach 12).
IF(a) would work well for Rashford as you mention, I think his profile is largely focused on scoring goals himself.Oh with ya now 😂. Yeah that’s true. If went with Rashford up top what role would you say DLF still? And then would the IF-A still suitable for Martial?

I like an inverted fullback + IWB combo! That gives you a solid platform to go out and play in front of.
On the frontline...could use a bit more punch, two IW(s) is fairly conservative, try giving Rashford an attack role. I would try using off footed winger roles instead of the inverted winger, particularly w the IWB setup.
Martial will struggle to lead the line for you, he is no great. A short forward with poor off the ball, poor decision making, and no vision will struggle as a DLF in my opinion. Does Fernandes have the training to play in the striker spot (he plays almost as a second striker irl)? You could him in slot in nicely as a F9. If not, I'd prefer Rashford or Hojlund through the middle and Martial out wide (it doesn't suit Rashford in how he actually plays, but his profile is crazy for a striker).
If you keep him in the 8, how about trying him as a RPM? I usually like a MEZ(a) who can carry the ball forward and MEZ(s) probably doesn't give him enough space to utilize his great ability on the ball. It's not a role I've utilized too often, but could but fun to give it a go!
Only problem with the IFB and IWB combo is I have 2 Full Backs who like to bomb forward by traits which makes the IFB role awkward as they likely go off anyway I think?
Yeah I did try the Winger roles didn't quite pan out through Pre Season but could try again. Maybe I'll give Rashford a Inside Forward-A with a Winger-S on the wings
Yeah I agree Martial is more the back up until Hojlund is back fit as starts Injured until 2-3 games in to the season, and didn't have funds to sign a new one to cover the gap left by Hojlund's injury . Martial is only an inch shorter than Rashford though lol but agreed hes more suited to the striker role than Martial.
I tried the Advance Playmaker vs Chelsea for Bruno got 7.7, 95% pass completion, 4 Key Passes & 3 CCC with 7 shots 28% on target. But having him as a False Nine is a interesting strategy to say the least!

You could stick Bruno and Mount as two 8-->10's in a 4-3-3 w/positional play (CM(a), AP, MEZ, BBM etc.).
I would avoid a second inverted wingback with a 4-3-3, w/out two DM's to screen the backline (and two fairly adventurous 8's) you're fairly exposed on the break.
How about a BBM + AP combo?
I could try the BTB and AP combo. Played Arsenal and we struggled to say the least they had 0.57 and I 0.21 which is barbaric and finished 0-0. So willing to give anything to get things going.
If not a IWB what would you suggest to have on one side?
This is currently the set up and who I had start in the last game:
I am thinking of going with a CF-s & IF-s on the left potentially in future

What about switching to a 4-2-3-1 and putting bruno in the 10?
Tottenham have been the best English Side under Postecoglou in my save (they just won back to back League titles) using a double IWB setup that's been brutally effective.
I used to play 4-2-3-1 last couple versions wanting to go with 4-3-3 especially given the variety of ways to play it in attacking phase

Thought I'd provide a little more information: On a possession style with a 4-3-3 I'd recommend either having an IWB or Libero move into the midfield to create the nice box 4 you can get going there to control things a bit more.
MEZ(s)+BBM are both roles that trigger a rotation and give you a good combination of creativity/output/hard work for the 8's. I am a fan of the CM(s), but the role doesn't trigger a rotation unless its run as an attack role I believe (just something to keep in mind). I'd personally be more inclined to run a CM(s) in a 4-3-3 w/out a defender stepping into midfield.
I have 2 IWB -s to pack the midfield and support the DM who's legs aren't going to last most games, eventually a Libero is the plan once get a player more rounded to play it
It's for Bruno I can never seem to find many roles that have him perform well along with being a threat in terms of goals and assists. Not sure how to line up the midfield without the as he doesn't always perform as the Mez so thought Mount as a Mez along with Bruno a CM s with get further forward, roam, move into channels and take more risks would offer some of the rotation that is hard coded into certain roles

@Cloud9 for a possession side would you say the 3 man midfield of a
Mezzela(s) -Defensive Midfielder(s) - Central Midfielder(s)/Box-To-Box
is what would be needed for that Creator, Runner and Enforcer style of profiles

Don't know if it's the update or I just missed him before but Chris Rigg looks great.
Think he was already a top player but think he got another boost in winter update

Don't tell people his PA is "only a tiny tiny bit lower than Salah's". It's spoiling the game for others since most will have a pretty good idea of what Salah's PA is. And more importantly, his PA is random so you quoting a set figure is meaningless.
I am actually surprised that Nypan got a higher world rating than Lamine Yamal. One plays in the godforsaken place of Trondheim with the amateurs, the other plays in Barcelona and has made his senior debut for Spain. Nypan is around 7 months younger. I wonder if his world rating is there just to ensure he ends up in a fairly good foreign club.
Not like he posted it without it being hidden least it was hidden.

Performance analysts come under the coaching category so would imagine it would improve them in one way or another. Probably be putting together a formula to put what they want to do on training pitch on the playing pitch to then aid their development from it

Kept him as the game is, and letting him go when contract expires

Libero, DM but I do primarily use BPD but like yourself his ratings do often swing one way or the other.
Not used him as Libero or DM. Used Varane as the Libero when I did have that role in my tactic. Restarted my save as wasn't happy how the team were playing particularly Martinez and Onana

Where do you play Martinez? Find he struggles in this FM as a CB as BPD which should be very fitting for his attributes. Am considering him as a IWB - S

Need to be in control of the training and set the tactic you want your B team and reserves as your primary tactic I believe will set the tactic you want as theirs.

Anyone got any good recommendations for a backup striker or rotation one? Someone who will actually be rotation too, can be someone young but Hojlund will be my main striker going forward.
Martial doesn't cut it at all
Barbosa maybe? He's 27/28 so not young but not old wages should be reasonable only on £65k at Flamengo, Dybala could also do it but wages would be higher much higher but may be available for cheap as think he has a release clause of around £20 million I believe in first season so depends on the season your in

I watched a few YT vids and found one quite useful. So for wonderkids or youth, do each age group instead of doing 15-18 or 15-21, so do 15-15, 16-16 etc. till 18. Then every 2 weeks or month, redo and set it again. Look in the progress tab instead of the near matches or recommendation and pick which ones seem "viable".
But for general scouting for teams I may try that, also managed to scout every prem, champ, laliga, ligue 1 french and seria A, nearly took a month in game for every report
Can you link the video if its allowed? Struggled with scouting since they introduced the new scouting feature to but more so this year

First transfer window!
With the awful finances being what they are, I'm totally handcuffed in the transfer market. My balance is 28 million pounds and I have 1.4 million in my transfer kitty along with being just on the edge of my wage budget. Thank you leeches...Main aim is to offload players to get in some kind of money and getting the wage bill down. Expecting more changes in the summer and realistically that's when I can get new players in.
I'm happy to sell Varane/Casemiro to the saudis in the summer (maybe even Fernandes), but I don't want to sell mid season.
Looking to sell
Wan-Bissaka (might have to trigger the extension to get a decent fee...)
Maguire (perfoms OK, byt doesn't fit my plans and I need to sell him financially)
van de Beek (doesn't play, need to recoup money + get rid off wages)
Sancho (barely plays, ridiculous wages)
Looking to loan out
Malacia (needs game time after injury, Regullion playing well)
Mainoo
Gore
Diallo (same situation as Malacia)
Plus quite a few from U21s...
Transfers in
Might not have money for anyone...
I have however offered Taremi a pre contract. With Martial performing very well I don't need another striker to back up Hojlund and I wiew Taremi as close to a perfect backup to Hojlund as possible. Wish he was 1-2 years younger, but he should be good for two seasons considering his attributes.
Really looking forward to the second half of the season and then to have a big overhaul in the summer!Decided to finish my Beta save first season(work and amongst other things means not got to far before full release). Am in January have had offers for AWB and like you decided to trigger his extension, Chelsea came in for him for around £20 million negotiated to £34.5million waiting on a response but had Arsenal sniffing around rumoured to be of that fee so hopefully accept the offer I negotiated. Offered a contract to Taremi and Isaac Babadi(Beat City and Arsenal to pre sign him!) Along with Enoch Mastoras a 17 year old RB Inverted Wing Back who also plays CB and DM as natural and CM, RWB and RM as acomplished so could have a very versatile player with a 3.5-4 potential

Hold shape is the build up shape, which is more used for possession football for patient build up
"Hold shape will ask the players to adopt a more considered and patient approach, keeping the ball and retaining their formation, before then building an attack"
