  1. A bit of context and what I currently do.

    I have 2 tactics. both variations of one formation:

    The left one is the normal tactic, possession based. the right one is tactic i'd use to draw a team out and hit them quicker on break.

    Now what I am currently doing on match day is if the opposing team are playing wide AM's I will add instructions Focus play down the right and Focus play down the left. I may also revert to more counter attacking one with a focus down that side.

    Scout reports only really trigger me to use these basic things and I get nothing else from them that I feel I can use. Data analyst reports don't seem to trigger anything for me either. Even if I look through the oppositions last 3 home/away matches.

    Some times if I notice their corners are aimed mainly to one side I might alter corners to have tallest player there.

    I played regularly from CM93 through to FM2009, then had a decade off to raise kids, work long hours and grow old (I never enjoyed the 3D match engine either to be honest).

    I came back to FM20 when it was included with the Xbox Game Pass and also managed to pick up a copy for the Switch. I've now completed 2 seasons on each platform and I'm amazed how easy the game seems.

    On the Switch, I spent a season with Altrincham, won the league at a canter, losing only once. At the end of the season I moved to Forest Green and won the league at a canter, losing only once.

    On the PC, I'm at the end of my 2nd season and I'm yet to lose a league game. First season I played as Dukla Prague, before moving to Sparta Prague. Both times I was 3rd favourite for the title, but managed to go a combined 66 games unbeaten. No restarts, no save skips.

    During the 15-16 years of my heavy playing I was never a master tactician, which is why it's surprised me how easy 20 feels. I've played the same formation with all 4 teams, 4231, but I dunno, seems odd.

    You've played 2 seasons per platform. Try taking Altrincham to the prem. The first couple of seasons are easy because any team can go up with decent tactics until they hit the higher tiers. Any one who thinks the game is easy from tier 6 or lower to winning premier League and CL please message me on how you do it so easily. I struggle when I get to the prem because I'd love to know what you do different.

  3. I couldn't find the relevant forum for this. I normally install a database which has leagues down to 10th tier in England. Can anyone give an indication of when this would be available? Hoping available for the early access release :)

    4.A missed penalty being the death knell for that player.

    Only once recently has this not happened. I'm playing FM19. The player misses a penalty in the first 20 minutes, we go 1-0 down on 30 mins then the penalty misser pops up with as headed equaliser 5 mins from end. IRL the player which conceeds a pen/misses a pen/scores and own goal goes looking for redemption at the other end and almost does it.
