  1. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure game time develops them better after a certain age.
  2. Yeah neither of my strikers scored alot last year so defo something to look at. Main goals was Bowen and fornals. Going to use DLF a start of next season
  3. Yea the version of the DLF where he is big and just holds the ball up is what I was looking for. I think both work well in this system. I have used both. DLF with move into channels is probably something I should look in to for more space for the players behind him.
  4. DLF a does work aswell. I just love a target man in real life. Which probably makes me gravitate to the role. Also I think I might get hung up on the passing attribute too much with them. As dcl and Antonio both have 11 passing which isn't terrible. So my instinct is to go target man and use there physical strengths. Never played the 442 either. In all my time In FM, I never get it to work. It could be something I try to do at another time though.
  5. There's probably a few things I could of done and I think mainly it's just be abit more aggressive out of possession I don't think it's necessary to up the mentality. Also I didn't change anything only duties I changed was coufal to wb s and the striker to DLF a to when mavididi and Antonio was injured. Also gave me some good insights into xg. So we would normally be close on xg if you looked at the stats that we have on screen in between highlights. I checked the shot map and for alot of games we had the majority of higher xg chances.
  6. So i finished second half of the season and everything that did go wrong happened but i dont think its down to the tactic. I think sometimes context is key with your seasons and certain things can change everything. However i did make a tactical change in the second half which was Coufal to wing back support. Mainly with more teams dropping back for him to offer more support going forward. It was after the Manchester united game when i changed to WB s with coufal and as you can see we went on a little run with progression in europe. Then when i mentioned everything went wrong did go wrong these injuries happened. Being west ham i don't have the players to fill the depth in and i think thats where it went wrong. With also making sacrifices in april to focus on the european games. I think not having the depth and having to overplay my key players cost me in the end but the thing ive took the most away from all this is the game isn't that complexed and i don't need a million instructions and some mad high press tactic with 40 players cause it causes loads of injuries. Also the tactic isn't everything theres games in the bad run where i had a kral and noble midfeild. # Also here are the most notable stats. Thank you to the people that helped me on the previous thread and any newcomers to the forum should really read alot of the old posts about the game as it is pure gold. This is definitely a new way of playing the game for me.
  7. Yeah the game is better when i have less to understand. I did no Tis or Pis with everton on previous post just got it horribly wrong. I also think people underestimate how much inspiration of a real life team would probably help them because i really didnt think it would help as much as it had help me.
  8. I haven't tried that so i wouldnt be able to tell you. But from my limited knowledge of how things pair together i can't see it much wrong with it. As stated it very much is copied from herne where he had yarmolenko as a treq a infront of wb defend and i really wasn't sure what role to use, so i picked that role.
  9. So my previous attempt with everton was abit of disaster. Tried multiple times and nothing ever really got going. We just had a lot of false dawns. Then i went away and started reading some old threads. I also watched a video on youtube on the coaches voice with moyes talking about his everton side and there evouloution as a team. With these two resources it gave me an idea in my head for base of a formation and roles and duties to put together. Unlike last time where i was trying to just fit a sqaud together, without really any idea what i wanted. The team i picked is David Moyes current team West Ham. Cleon talks alot about the 4231 and how in real life this is more a realistic version of how the teams set up. The reason i picked the roles and duties are because of the following. Goalkeeper: Pretty standard don't need anything else from him. Centre backs: The same nothing special just need them to head balls clear and play simple passes. Left back: Complete wingback attack. The reason i picked this role is because on the video on coaches voice moyes talks abit about the Baines and peinaar relationship and how they attacked down that side and i wanted to get something similar going. Right back: Wing back defend. Ill be honest this is copying Herne a little in his post on no team instruction or player instructions with west ham where he uses zabaleta in this kind of role. Defensive midfeild: Deep lying playmaker support and segundo volante support. Based it on what they play like in real life. Alot of west ham play goes through declan rice and figured a dlp, where he demands the ball would suit him with his passing range and the ppm switch ball to wide areas which results in some lovely diagnals to Bowen. Soucek is quite simple, he gets up and down the pitch while choosing his moment whether to get in to the box. Left wing: Inverted winger support. To cut inside and play balls inside in to fornals, bowen or antonio. Or cut inside and play the ball to the on coming cresswell on the overlap. Right wing: Inverted winger attack. To do pretty much same as left wing but also make sure ive got people in the box for cresswell to aim at and give rice options when switching the ball. Central midfielder attack: Get close to antonio to make sure he isn't isolated and run beyond him. Target forward attack. I did initially have this on support but found he comes back and defends too much and really need some one to hit up feild to hold on to the ball for Vlasic Fornals and bowen. He links play and is always in the box when the ball goes out wide. Only played till January and we are preforming way above expectations. Hopefully, unlike my Everton save where i had plenty of false starts and this isn't that. However i am seeing alot of things that i wanted to see when i put this team together. It will be whether this tactic holds up second half of season when sides adjust and play more negatively and space in behind isnt there anymore.
  10. Moaning won't help you here. Post a screenshot of your tactic and im sure plenty of people on here will help you out.
  11. Yeah he probably is. Its just a starting point but willing to adjust it. Maybe thats where everton are going wrong dele alli is a dm.
  12. Yeah gonna give it another crack with Everton. In the 4231 going to try and be the 90th manager to revive dele alli. Hoping Alii and richarlison can play off calvert lewin with mykolenko providing width may need to be a wb s but starting with full back attack for now. Allan and doucoure should provide a decent base. Second one is more of your suggestion. Putting DCL on DLF a with richarlison still on attack duty. again using mykolenko to overlap. Considering using the mezzala or maybe use a cm on attack but going to try both at some point both defo look more agressive when looking at my previous versions. Also my reasons for staying on balance is i want to learn the game from a base point without going to positive or attacking and learning to deal with higher mentalities on players and balancing that.
  13. Ah it happens doesnt it. Still a game end of day. I did try it in desperation but i think morale and form was that bad it just didnt work. Defo learnt im way to passive with my attacking options. As stated sometimes i just dont stop and think and analyse kind of blind optimism itll change cause start of season form. When i lost to southampton and norwich i should of stopped and think.
  14. I do love football manager. Ive not got a clue whats gone on after the Qatar world cup. Kept it the same. I thought i would struggle after xmas cause we had the big boys and i didnt expect to keep the form we had up but we fell into a right slump. We wasnt free flowing anyway and i was happy with that but we were decent defensively and then well. Lol i got sacked. Cheers everyone for the help. Believe it or not i have learnt a few things about putting things together. Defo got carried away after xmas and just kept spamming continue and not stop and think.
  15. Hello, i'm not really trying to create any style of football. It's more to make the game much less complicated and easier to work out what is the problem. Since the advice everyone has given me season 2 with everton has gone alot better and ive only made one change to the tactic which is mezzala a to mezzala s. I bought a more well rounded full back in kalulu who rotates with holgate. Lo celso to rotate with alli as van de beek left. Masuaku as back up left back. Betteneli and chris wood as back ups to the first team choices aswell. I kept the original tactic up until liverpool where i changed to mezzala support. We look to have hit some kind of stability in preformances. Richarlison is on 9 goals already and he only hit 11 in whole of last season. Again thank you to everyone for the advice it helped loads.
