Poison

I'm not sure I like the midfield setup personally, it's too attacking, I'd use more static roles like a dlp or a cm-su somewhere there, both mez and BTB tend to lose their position, if you still want this, maybe use an rpm to have a focal point in attack. Use short or even ultra short passing and use more direct to certain players. Also try more disciplined and a lower mentality, cautious or defensive. Finally I'd make the forward a pf-su to give a little bit of defensive ability up front, I don't like any attack role at a 4-3-3 to the forward, support is much better imo. From the screenshot your passing is good, however you may want to try "run at defense" if they misplace too many passes in highlights.

Well in real life they are stretching the play, he doesn't play narrow because it's hard to find space there, he starts wide and then with his pace he advances to a more dangerous situation, however only you know whether this is the issue in the game or maybe it's just his morale or something.

Maybe the width is the problem? How do you struggle exactly?

Use a second more conservative formation for when leading is my suggestion. On an unrelated note, how do you overlap with one wide player? I have always been curious about this. Like are the forwards supposed to hold up ball or what? How does it work in- game?

Wait... there are walkthroughs for FM???

Ok, I've uploaded it but cannot find the link to share? The file is called "Jose Cuervo - Legend" and the player in question is Jeroen Zoet.

@Batigoal__ You are looking for simply more direct /slightly more direct passing? They attempt them but it takes time and cohesion too, I think the limitation isn't there from what I've seen so far.

I think so, yes. There are important matches so someone might have coded a boost in rep if you fare well there. I think if you go well to a series of matches you get better opinion from the fans and the board, that much is certain. Nobody knows for sure I'd guess except the staff, so if someone want to officially give an answer to this, be my guest!

Umm.. how exactly do you want to play? Also what are the issues you are facing?

I'm using narrow width which seems to do the trick. Also you could try focus play down the middle.

Why don't you put them asymmetrically, put the striker at STCR and the AM at AMCL maybe? Wouldn't that help?

Pretty sure there's something like this made with python, try searching for "football manager - python" at Youtube.

Fantastic creative midfielder for cheap, potentially a good striker or winger too if re-trained. Really good player it seems.

Narrow width? Also they should have good defensive attributes?

Easiest league ever? You amass talent immediately way better than the AI and it's all over. I lifted it about 25 times last year, starting from year 2.

Went for Palermo, I'm hoping to stay for long and lead them to domestic and European glory.

FBs: Kerkez maybe, Valentin Barco, Michael Kayode. Mid: Olise, Baturina, Nypan, Bergvall, Andre(Fluminense). I assume you have some M to spend. No one is cheap but they can make the difference.

You already have one (if you are Leeds that is), as Archie Gray is highly rated. Check your scout reports and intermediary suggestions and go from there is my suggestion. What is your budget and which positions are you interested in?

International multi-tool for about 1 - 1.5 Million, can do a job for certain teams.

The option is only there if you select to throw it long, else it just picks the most suited player, which still doesn't sound right (to pick a striker). Don't you have any full backs or wing backs in your formation? It seems like an omission anyway.

@daniel700 I think that Milenkovic isn't fast enough or anticipates enough for cover, try using a defend-defend combo to your central defenders. Also are you sure you want winger for Anthony? You basically instruct him to go for the byline and he's left footed, this position doesn't fit him at all, either use a right-footed player there, like Mount, or change to role to inverted winger which will give the opposition one more reason to worry about. Shaw is also a clear "touch line" player, wing back would suit him way more than inverted one.

That's because it IS something tricky to pull off in my opinion. The player has to balance his run and not get exposed in the counter attack (keep in mind that they are the only player in the side) and he absolutely HAS to know what the other player will do. It will probably be a combination of good anticipation, good coaching, good cohesion, good teamwork, good tactics etc. It's not as easy as it looks. Do you know that in local (amateur / semi-pro) these highlights almost never happen? I would guess there is a reason for this. In this ME the players square the ball a lot to marauding players though just as @Rashidi showed, I'll leave that here.

@Ivan787 Umm... all the wing back roles are positioned high up the pitch in the last few FMs always straight when the ball is at GK (initial build-up? Anyway, that's not what OP asked. At OP: Here's what's literally my last game in this ME, you can see the WB score from within the box in one of our goals. Sorry, I didn't know how to post video from in-game so I've just saved the match. FeralpiSalò v Palermo.pkm

Lots of good players for cheap in Italy, check Venezia for a few good options. The following player is however available for 50k(!!!) AND requests low wages, if that's not a bargain I don't know what is. Not sure what kind of reputation is needed to attract him though, so not sure if he's useful for LLM. I reckon he can come to most countries' B divisions though, which is fantastic imho.
