I’ve recently upgraded from fm22 to fm24 and am impressed with new match engine. However, I am no longer able to watch the full match. I just wanted to check this isn’t a bug?

Thanks for response. That makes sense I’m using touch and clicking on it just takes me to my squad page without anyone highlighted. I’m sure I can work it out from there. Cheers!

Hi all. In the data hub, match analysis I am consistently getting a thumbs down for ‘weak influence’. Does this mean I have been unable to influence the game as it’s happening?

Hi all. I’m still playing and enjoying FM 22. I was considering upgrading to FM 24. Are any of the new features game changing massive improvements in your opinions? Thanks

I’m probably overthinking this… if I want to train a trait to encourage cross field passes from one wing to another do I go with ‘Likes to switch the ball to wide areas’ Or ‘Tries long range passes.’ If the player with the ball is already on one wing does the 1st trait necessarily mean he will ping it to the opposite wing..?

Great. Thanks again for taking the time!

Thanks for response. Not using IWB(a) definitely makes sense. I was hoping he would provide another runner from deep but they have been stepping on each others toes in the box a bit. Can I ask why the AP(s) is unnecessary? My thinking was he would kind of connect the left and right sides of the pitch and be enabled to attempt the riskier passes to MEZ(a) and RAM

Hi all. I was looking for some advice. I’m trying to get a tactic using raumdeter as the main goal scorer. Main idea is to overload the left hand side drawing the opposition that side and pinging the ball to the ram on the right. Currently not working amazingly, raumdeter is getting space but having trouble getting ball to him. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi. I have FM22 touch for switch. The stats seem a bit sketchy. I am only getting assists per 90 in chalkboard. Also xg for players is 0 for everybody when scouting. Is this standard? Thanks

I consistently have problems with opposition getting high numbers of shots in the box. Happens in most of my tactics. I always play a back 4. I either have CD(def) CD (def) or CD (def) CD(cov) I usually end up putting the PI ‘press less’ on the whole back 4 to keep shape. Is this contributing to opponents taking shots away easily inside the box? It might also be midfield issues and allowing too many final 3rd entries. It’s just the consistency I’m having this problem that making me wonder about my back 4 set up. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will look forward to your next article and have a search your previous writing

Thanks Cleon. A really interesting thread. Motivated me to start playing again and I am appreciating the game from a whole new angle. I am having some joy with a 433 playing in Scotland. I found what you said about having championship level players competing in the champions league fascinating and that ‘Just because someone might have bad crossing/low dribbling doesn't mean they can't excel at those things’ This blew my tiny mind. I am reading this as; if your system is working well, players end up in 1v1 situations or with good crossing options that don’t require 20/20 quality? How do you go about scouting or selecting youth players with promise if the attribute’s aren’t that important to you? Thanks again for the thread. I always enjoy reading them even if I’m not currently playing.

This is really interesting. I get the idea of having a spare man taking advantage of space the opposition leave. I can’t quite picture the significance of the pentagon. Has anyone got any links for further reading? Thanks!
