I have no one in the DM strata (except for my IWB when in possession, but you get it). No playmaker in the CM spot : my F9 is my playmaker somehow

I would like someone in the middle, not out wide

Hi ! Hope you're all well. First of all, you can check out the philosophy of my football in this thread : I'm looking for a 3 at the back while defending // 2 at the back while in possession. I did try this : - Half-back : it is doing the opposite (3 at the back while in possession // 2 when defending). The pros are that it helps to play out of the defense + against quick transition. However, as we play a slow tempo, i "lack" of a player in midfield, as the HB stays very deep - Libero (A) : could work, however, I found that the Libero (A) doesn't go up the field that much, staying with a 3 at the back every time. - Role in DM strata (d) : they do not drop that deep between the 2 CD when defending. Is there a way to get what I'm looking for ? Thanks !

Ok, I’ll do that. Thanks for the advice ! It was incredible how Laimer could make more killer ball than Aarons only because of this PPM.

They won’t sack you if you’re not playing like Liverpool. Furthermore : - Attacking football means scoring goals, and not scoring a lot of goals (this is spectacular football) - Attacking Mentality ≠ Attacking playstyle Wrong. You have talented players compared to your team. Is one of your players a regular starters in a top 6 ? If the answer is no, then it’s not talent. You’re kinda saying that your team doesn’t like to counterpress. It’s hard to help you with your tactic as 1) I don’t know the exact quality of your players 2) It depends on the way you want to play. If I was you, I would play a classic counter attack style (something like a mid block) trying to catch opponents on the break with speed.

I’m using this topic to ask you : is it possible that a player never unlearn a PPM (I think it’s that to say Personnal Traits) ? I have Aaron’s as a IWB. Huge vision, Technique and passing BUT he won’t loose his “Play short and Simple” while he could be the next TAA in my save… really frustrating

For the moral issue : - Give a praise to all players about their attitude - Praise everyone who’s doing good on training, warn the ones who are doing poorly - chat with your strickers, tell them you notice that they’re doing poorly but you have faith in them. For the results: You could do better but, hey, you just got promoted ! And it’s not like you’re getting battered 4-0 every game. Going 2-2 against ManUnited IS a great results. Loosing only 1-0 on away game IS okay. Avoiding relegation should be your goal. Do not aim for European places : you don’t have the players for it. about the tactics : - for the positive one, it is a quite okay one, only if you’re a top tier team, which you’re not. You try to get possession of the ball while 1) you don’t have the players to keep the ball from the gegenpresserdogs of the PL 2) you don’t have the technical quality to create CCC - for The attacking one : way too agressive. Try to regroup and counter, droping one WB on support and invert your Mezz and AP (even though, I don’t think that X. Simons has the quality to be a good AP in the EPL). Don’t overestimate your team : as I said, staying in PL should be your goal of the season. According to the screen, you’re in the 7th, which is HUGE for à promoted team. Don’t forget that EPL has (in FM at least) 6 top tier team. Right now, you’re 7th = best of the non-monster team.
