Hey all, working on my tactical awareness and knowledge. Writing my thoughts help organize my mind, and happy to get any feedback that comes to mind! Let me know what you think. My team is a mid-table Bundesliga side, average in most things, but the team has the best work rate and teamwork in the league. I'm trying to play a counter attacking style with this setup, switching to a higher intense press for short bursts. Specifically with this tactic, I'm noticing some failed attacking transitions down the left flank. I started with FB(A)/IW(A), but there was a huge gap and the IW was always running away from the FB who was left with few passing options. I switched my to WB(A)/IW(S) and I noticed some improvement but did see a few failed attacks from the BBM when the ball was being worked up the left. I think I'm going to keep this for the next few games and see how we go, but any comments appreciated.

Hey @Rashidi, been following you YT series and love the spreadsheets. Makes me realize I need to have a deeper understanding of what each stat means . One I've been trying to nail down is Clearances. I took note when you said that Clearances means the defender is good at bringing the ball out of defense. In my mind, clearances were defenders hoofing it anywhere out of danger. I tried to use the analytical data to show me where clearances occured during the game, and watch a highlight of said play. However, looks like while clearances are captured in the stats, they don't save them for viewing later in the detailed match analysis, unlike interceptions, etc. Just wondering if there is a better explanation of what constitutes a clearance out there?

Sorry for the late reply. I am using the Zealand skin. My file is 300MB - any other way of getting it to you?

Also experiencing this in the 2.Bundesliga. If a save file is needed, happy to provide.

And now for the desktop! If only it wasn't so much more convenient to play on the laptop.
