  1. Do anybody know what prompt is RocknRolla using for his creations ? The quality of the result are the best I've seen so far ! https://fm.zweierkette.de/en/ultrarealistic-newgan-faces-english/
  2. This + swapping roles and duties up top was gold. This are the results from last time posting : Also, another very satisfactory point is all the front line (subs included) are playing well in the system, with goals and assit spreaded among the team. Below the standard tactic I've ended up. Poacher occupies the central defense while suprisingly applying quite a lot of pressure on the backline when no in possession ( I think to recall Poacher role was much more passive in defense in previous FMs) BBM and IWa create a nice overload on the right side, IWa + "Stay Wider" was a successful gamble ! Less useless crosses but still crossing when decent opportunity arise, while skinning his fullback in one to one situation (Poacher and BBM occupying the central defender) Left side, IFs is dragging both his fullback and central defender with his high dribble and speed, opening up the flank for an comfortable cross from the WBa running up the field. And with no overlap TI, not wasting a good opportunity to beat his fullback and go through goal (instead of waiting for the WBa). Regista at DM position was a bit too crazy, got scored against 5 times in 4 games during the experiment! but DLPs revealed to be very good and balanced in the tactic. With BBM supporting the Poacher and right IWa + BWMd holding the fort center/leftcenter, the midfield trio is SOLID. Very very happy, thank you again for the hint and suggestions @silentwars Now for the contextual changes : - when opposition has no quick forwards, I move the block up (Higher DL, Press GK, CounterPress). When up by two goals and with 20-15 minutes to go, I remove the counter press (and maybe lower the DL) - if wasting chances, I move to Positive but slower tempo + Work Ball Into Box. - If they are tough, play through my press and/or have quick forwards, I simply go Midblock and change left-fullback to WBs. - When one or two goals up with 20-15 minutes to go, I remove "distribute quickly), do some time wasting, then width to fairly narrow. (additionnal time, I max time wasting and go "more disciplined")
  3. Hey @silentwars, thank you for the input and detailed response ! Got a lot more questions ! The NCB on Dunne was due to him being inept with the ball while being great at defending. I'll try with CD (+less risky passes), hopefully things will go right ! Would not Warrington handle the creativity duty (instead of looking for a new player for APs)? Attributewise is quick decent I think (passing/vision 14, anticipation/composure 13). I put him at DM because he is very sound defensively while being only bang average offensively (dribble/finishing/otb). My idea was to have Warrington picking the right pass (to the WBs attacking on the flanks or into space to any of the three forward above), with Browne in BBM (+GFF PI) arriving late would be a second wave attack and Reitz patroling/covering for the Flank players attacking on the left. I thought about this but I'm a bit worried of him just making super poor crosses on repeat as the role as "Cross more Often" (Bell has only 11 at crossing). Would playing him as IWa (with stay wider) make sense here to avoid him crossing so often ? Make total sense ! him and Ashby are my only two decent crossers in the team. Question though : with Zuriko speed and technical abilities, wouldn't that be clipping his wings? would no-overlap but IFs (+stay narrow) X WBa work as an alternative ?
  4. Hello everybody, After 2,5 season at Valenciennes (France - Div1) and performing pretty well, I've been offered a job accross the Channel at Bristol City (England - Div2). The team is not half-bad, some decent players, and after 7 league games in the season we are doing OK...but my power trio s*cks and I don't know why/how to improve them. In the last 5-6 games, the quality of the offensive trident (433DM, see below) is not there and as a consequence results are getting hard to get. We average an xG of only 1,18 goal per game (and 0.72 goal against). Three of our five victories in league came from late minute goal from the midfielders... Here is my tactic, nothing fancy/crazy (I think!) : And my all mighty powerful trio... I recon they should be performing better, and I guess I'm doing something wrong for them to be so mediocre. Any input/advice to improve the situation is much welcomed. I don't care losing (some) games, but I would like at least for my forward to give it a decent try !
  5. Hey people; So...thank you all for the tips and advices. Changes I've made ; - Higher tempo - moved the AP on the left and the IW on the right to the WM strata - changed the role of the striker to Complete Forward (thanks @kandersson) with duty "attack" or "support" adapting along the games), despite him having very mediocre passing, vision, decision and aerial/strenght attributes... Well, it worked wonders : It seems like lowering everybody on the field (wings and striker) + playing at higher tempo had tremendous effect on his delivery. Now scoring opportunities are way more diverse, while having the striker scoring sometimes by getting behind the defense, sometimes just with a quick 3m rush backward/onwards for a swift tap-in. Main lesson learned here for me : the movement of a role, within a given tactic, is way more important than the attributes marked as key for that role. 🤷
  6. Thank you for the advice ! Considering my striker low ratings in passing and vision, I don't think DLF nor CF would really suit him (or does it?). But willing to try AFa and Winger (a). However, by having the striker as AF (so, moving much more into channels) and a Winger (a) instead of IW(a), wouldn't this result in having very little attacking thread inside and in front of the oppisition box ?
  7. Hey people, I'm on FM21, going into my second season with Bristol in English 2d tier. Quite happy with the team of players I have, I am however quite disappointed with my start striker, Adam Armstrong. With 2 goals in and a rating of 6.81 in 10 games, I feel like he should be doing much better considering his attributes, the category we are playing in and our xG rating. Despite being top of the league (we were considered play-off contenders), the score lines are often disappointing. This is the tactic I'm currently using (and PIs) : My striker profile : Our xG stats : And as a result, despite having chances, we struggle to score more than one goal per game... What am I getting wrong here ? what should I do to unleash my striker potential ? Any help is welcomed !
  8. One question : how did you do the filtering? I guess you did not enter each city of Aragon manually in the search tool, but there is no "Kingdom of Aragon" In the nation/region filter neither. 😁 I'm currently undergoing a Málaga save trying to sign almost exclusively Spaniards, but this thread really makes me want to switch to Andálucian focus. (LOVING the thread btw)
