Not at all cheers, I quite like a 433 although I am trying to get a 4141 and a 4411 right at the mo. Can try the 433 if that's ok?
Sure! It's more successful away from home for me but hopefully it'll be good for you everywhere
Excuse the players being picked already, a match is coming up soon 
Formation/Player Roles | Player Instructions | Results (away matches highlighted in yellow).
UPDATE: I just beat Uzbekistan, regarded to be the 2nd strongest team in the group ahead of us (and about 30 places above in the world rankings) 4-1 at home with this 4-3-3 tactic; I also beat them away as you can see with my results- we were 2-0 down at one point but won it in the 90th min! This latest result proves that this tactic is just as efficient at home, it's just that I didn't try it before

Well, I have a tactic that won me the league and EFL Cup and got me to the UCL final and FA Cup semi-finals in my first year at Spurs, as well as one that has got me 3 wins from my 4 away matches with UAE solely for away games- if you want I'll post some screenshots for them because Spurs and West Ham are quite similar and the tactic might work for you too
I have a 4-2-3-1 possession and control tactics as well but they haven't been tried and tested like the other two so just give me the signal and I'll post some screenies
If you decide you would like a tactic but only 1, just let me know whether it's the 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 you want- obviously I won't be offended if you don't want either of them, it's your decision and I fully understand if you want to make one yourself. I don't wanna sound like I'm forcing it upon you

About potential signings, I don't know whether they will want to sell but have you considered Carlos Tevez? He has 15+ on all 3 attributes discussed, his current ability is 14.8 out of 20, his potential ability is 17.8 and OK he's 35 but he's got a few years left in him and genie scout reckons his sale value is about £500k. Alternatively, Kostas Mitroglou has a CA of 14.6 and a PA of 15.1- he might be 31 but again, he will be going for a few years still, as reflected in the potential to grow in ability still. According to the software, roughly £6m would be required to land the Greek forward. These are just two examples and there are lots more if you want them
This is linked to my save and it's in 2019 so the players will be a few years older/younger in your save, meaning the sale value/CA and PA might increase/decrease. However, this is just a rough guide and the PA will most likely be the same, as well as the value being similar.
By the way, have you checked out individual training? It sounds really obvious but you could train them to improve such stats.

Yeah, the game is very frustrating. With the United Arab Emirates in my journeyman save, my corner routine is a low cross to the edge of the box and we've scored twice from them in our last 3. As for crosses, I feel your pain- only the odd low cross finds its target. Low crosses are still OP compared to the other types of cross but it's like they 'over-fixed' crossing for this year's game. Maybe set your corners up like I do- put players in and around the area, try to get it on the edge of the box and shoot, it might just solve that problem like it sort of did for me. All rounded players are very hard to find in FM without spending ridiculous amounts of money- what team are you managing and what is your transfer budget? I can have a look on genie scout and see if I can find anyone suitable if you'd like.
I would advise also to look again at your strikers, find the one with the highest concentration/composure/decisions and try scouting for something maybe 2 or 3 higher (unless that takes you to over 15!) Sometimes, little margins can make a huge difference in this game. I certainly wouldn't want to be buying 39 year olds!!
Overall, I would say set pieces and crossing is very hard to master in this year's game, as is finding the right players with a good balance of everything. To reiterate, try 'edge of the box and shoot' for set pieces, low crosses if you haven't done that already and try to find a player with 2 or 3 more of those 3 stats than the player that has the highest of those stats in your team (e.g. if the best composure stat between your strikers was 10, search for someone with 12/13+). If you tell me your team and budgets I can possibly try and find a suitable player but there is, as you know, a limit to how good a player you can find with certain budgets and teams- taking relocation and wages into account too.
Sorry for the ramble and hopefully this issue can be fixed- if not from logical thinking, then by random tinkering and messing around with tactics
EDIT: I just had a similar problem where my striker stood there and let it be stolen. Luckily it was saved but he does have low stats. However, he is one of my star players so I can't really replace him!

Thanks but tried all that. It's very frustrating because dribble less they just stand there waiting to be tackled, but with dribble more they just run straight into the defenders.
Well, do you have players with low concentration/composure/decisions? This is all stuff you've probably looked at too but it might be an idea to buy some players in the window with a high score in at least one of those three attributes. Try getting Genie Scout if you haven't already, that can help with scouting. Also, have you considered what role is being played in each position? It might not make any difference and I'm probably thinking too hard but you never know xD

@Sussex Hammer I'm no expert and this probably won't help but have you tried "dribble less" or taking off "retain possession" (if applicable)? If that doesn't work, see if there's anything in individual instructions that might help. As I said, I'm not a tactician so it probably won't help but you could try

@oohlala111 Unfortunately added leagues / customised databases such as the Solomon Islands aren't allowed in this challenge. I see that you posted in Earl's Giant 70, and I will definitely follow your progress in that, or any of the challenges that do allow extra leagues.
OK that's fine!

I'm joining this challenge this time, as I kick things off with Telekom S-League favourites Solomon Warriors from the Solomon Islands! The competition works as a 9 team league of which the bottom team is relegated. The remaining 8 play a knockout tournament to get a winner, with the top 2 qualifying for the OFC Champions League. My aim is to win the title and qualify for the UCL although actually winning the tournament isn't a priority for me at this club.
The badge is very bizarre (see below) and looking at the squad, it's pretty decent. According to the media, the league's dream XI compromises of precisely 11 of our players. However, we are weak down the left with no natural left backs or left midfielders, and with no transfer or wage budget, we will have to make do for now. As for our opposition, odds to win the title are quite close but most of their squads are pretty poor. As long as I find the right tactic and we get the right mentality, we'll be off. Our first match, after over 5 weeks of pre-season, was a 1-0 away win at KOSSA. I will continue to update each season or when I get sacked/get offered a new job! Hopefully, this series will be successful and I will win lots of trophies!!
Solomon Warriors FC
EDIT: Just been alerted added leagues like Solomon Islands aren't allowed so will continue solely on Earl's Giant 70 thread!

Like, take them out of the Africa, Asia, Europe, folders and put them in separately? I'll try it
Edit: It worked! Thanks so much!

I'm still struggling to get these files to work. I have downloaded them and extracted them then moved them to the correct folder. Is it something to do with it all "turning into" folders? (i.e. the file is duplicated as folders.) Or is it because I use WinRar to extract the files? I'm really confused right now!!
I'll try and provide a screenshot of the files if you want!!

@oohlala111 : You must put the files directly in the folder editor data, without the subfolders "Africa, Europe, Asia..etc"
That's what I did, but when I tried to open the file it split into the different subfolders...

Hi claassen!
I downloaded the files today, put them in the folder and opened them but when I went into FM, they weren't an option to select... For some reason, everything transforms into folders- do I need to open the contents of the folders separately? Thanks!

Can you estimate when the first release will be out? I'm really eager to do a double pentagon/hexagon challenge! Thanks
