no updates for 8 hours. I don’t know anymore if that’s a good thing or not
Maybe they stopped the updates to test. Maybe they all went to bed and not uploaded more hard work. The longer that goes on, the more I think its soon™.

I am glad that my post helped you. But just to clarify: I was talking about AP on attack, not A
F(although AF also works better in counter-attacking tactics btw).Yes it was the AP I was referring to. My midfield was too passive in attack but wingers on attack would seemly run into a cul-de-sac and lose it.

AP on attack duty is better utilized in counter-attacking and fast attacking styles than possession-oriented ones
Just logged in to say thanks for this golden nugget of a tip. My strikers have a late arriving option of a pass and I score more now.

Good question. I'm curious about this as well as I'm only just experimenting with this.
Generally, I still leave it to the AssMan but make the occasional change prior to upcoming games. I do think the standard sessions are a little too generic and, whilst it stops overall stat drop, it doesn't target those important attributes at those low levels. not a dig; just room for marginal gains.
The other problem I have at that level is it takes an age to get team cohesion up to even a moderate level. Poor players playing poorly together: Nightmare fuel.
I've not planned this out extensively but overall it goes something like Pre-season (mostly leave to AssMan) > Match prep/squad cohesion work > Key attribute focus.
During early phase 2 I will have two match-prep style sessions (Tues = Overall + Match Practice) (Thursday = Outfield + Teamwork). Tuesday is a heavy day so that I gradually will start changing Match Practice to maybe the attack or defend match prep variants.
Once I'm happy the team is playing sufficiently as a unit or at least until its not a negative then its onto player key attribute focus. I break a month's 8 training days (counting 1 game/week) up to focus on Attack, Defend, Tactical and a Goalie/set-piece sessions. I try to make sure a training unit gets 1 session focus per day. I used to do these as 1 week all-attack etc. but found that the neglected units didn't train well that week and would flag up on training reports.
Not even looked at youth training but i'd probably leave out the match prep and crack on with attributes.
That's just my take on it. I hope it's at least logical. I'm looking forward to hear others take on it.

@Rashidi any thought what type of playthrough you're going for this year?
That Gloucester City playthrough was great to watch.

Why people go and bother Miles on twitter and aren't in here
speculating beta releaseposting memes is beyond me.1 -

Did this happen? it was officially denied?
I'm sure in previous years when we've got to within 2 weeks of release, Miles (or others) have explicitly told us "not today".

So, I'm gonna make it all serious for a second.
My one concern with waiting for the beta, is that we're not even at the point of confirming the beta won't come out on the day in question. Last year we had 2 days where it was confirmed we wouldn't get it before the moment of sweet sweet jubilation.

Looks like there was a flurry of changes made late yesterday. I hope the crunch isn't too harsh. Much love to all the SI peeps hard at it.

My thoughts on how to create a deep/mid block
in Tactics, Training & Strategies Discussion
Posted
It's always nice to get someone elses take on setting up tactics. I would never of thought of a lower block with a 4231 just because of the numbers you have in the opponents half.
