[Touchline Tablet panels]

How can I extend the Touchline Tablet to three (or six with the bottom bar hidden) panels?

I've seen vids online of other people who have it extended to three panels, but I'm only able to drag it to two.

I'm playing on 1920x1080 screen resolution at 85% zoom.

Cheers

 

[Clear cut chances]

Sometimes I get a replay, which flashes "clear cut chance", but then in the stats it still reads that I haven't had any. It doesn't register the chance.

Could you update your Intel driver, please. It hasn't been done so since 2018.

And do you have any custom graphics or skins installed at all?

Hi Kyle.

Thanks for the advice. I updated the Intel driver, unfortuately I'm still getting the same lengthy pauses quite regularly.

I do not have any custom graphics or skins installed.

Please help!

Thanks.

[Game freezing in the middle of doing nothing much]

I have noticed several times that the game just freezes for a weirdly long time (FM2021 Beta). Not just a little lag between pages, I mean in the middle of moving around a screen, the game just freezes -- seems to be for around 10 or 15 seconds -- before it comes back to life.

Has anyone else noticed this or knows how I can rectify it?

It's not a crash -- it does come back -- but a lengthy freeze of the screen during which time the mouse still moves, but I can't select anything. When it comes back, the game cathces up and navigates to whatever screen I'd selected.

This happened so often during a three-hour session (at least four of five times) that I restarted the computer and then switched it off when the problem persisted.

I have a relatively solid rig (three years old and decent at the time of purchase) and the game gives it five stars for performance.

[Opposition instructions in FM19]

The OIs that you set in the left hand screen are applied but aren't shown in the right hand screen. I've raised this as feature request as it's certainly confusing.

Ahh, so they do work, but it just doesn't display? At the risk of asking an obvious question, how do you know they definitely do apply if it's not indicated?

[Opposition instructions in FM19]

The OP seems to have been shouted down, but I agree with him that instructions you give in Tactics are not carried into a match. I can only assume it's a bug.

I have not set OIs to be taken care of by anyone other than myself, and yes, I am looking at the correct screen.

I'd be delighted to be told I'm being dense and missing something,  but I don't think I am ...

What do people understand by the 'Headers won' stat for teams, e.g. 10/20 (50%).

I don't quite fully understand what this signifies. I know that might sound daft, but I would assume this would relate to an 'aerial duel' - as in a player from each team challenging for the same high ball. But then I don't understand why the opposition will have a different figure from a different number of "duels".

Surely, if my figures for 'Headers won' are 5/20 (25%), then my opponents ought to be 15/20 (75%).

If anyone can shed any light on this, I'd be most grateful.

Cheers.

Ignore your assman at all times because he has no idea what you are trying to do . The exploit shout will do as you want and try to focus play down that side more often. I wish it had a changed name and went back to he "passing focus" that it used to be, or to something like "attack focus" as it doesn't work quite like it used to when it was first named "exploit the . . ." Another option for you might be to have a playmaker role on that side of the field which could assist in getting your wingback a little more of the ball, but the exploit shout should do fine. Look at it this way, if your opponent is playing fullbacks and wingers, then either flank won't have as much space as against a narrow setup or a 3 man defense, but that doesn't mean it won't or can't work.

How literally should I take the instruction 'Exploit the left flank'?

I have a solid wing back in there and I want to get the ball out to him as often as possible as he can make things happen but my assistant advised me not to do that as he didn't think there was 'space there to be exploited'. He's right, the opposition is playing a full back, but that's not why I wanted to 'exploit the left flank'. I wanted my best player to see more of the ball.

Is this option only useful if there is a hole there with no full back (say in a three man defence) or is it okay to use the instruction just to get my best lad on the ball more? It unnerves me when the AI advises me not to do something when I think there is a logical reason to do it. Am I misusing it and is it not as effective as a tactic if they're playing a right back?

Cheers.
