If you instruct the no 10 to roam he will go to the flanks, same for the other midfielders with stay wider instruction.

No one does that? Surely he must stay narrower when the ball is on the other side? Tried narrow shape so that they will focus in middle? Also if the build-up is slow they get in the box, I'm sure of it. Could it be a player's issue? Maybe bad OTB? I will check it later but I'm pretty certain that I've seen goals scored by my wing backs like so. If I'm wrong I'll post again apologizing.

You need the following I believe: A positive / attacking mentality Narrow shape Cwb or iwb, not wb. underlap right /left instruction work ball into box (this brings the players to more attacking positions, extra important) possibly a lower tempo. I believe if you combine most if not all of the above it's doable. Will check it as I play 5-3-2 myself.

Here's mine, I'm trying to replicate Atletico Madrid as they are right now, there are a few PI's in there. It works rather well!

You can compare anyone with anyone, it's under the "comparison" tab in the default skin. Open the first player then the second and he'll appear in a drop-down menu.

Personally I play 5-2-2-1 DM AM, the extra congested midfield and two amc as pivotal points for the counter attack seem to work well. I'm a little shaky at the flanks though.

You should have no issues with this processor.

Well that depends on your forward I guess, however also a player who cuts inside wouldn't hurt to attack the half-space despite being crowded. You could probably keep the width to "fairly wide" and have the player cut inside later, it's risky however all good teams I've seen risk irl. Btw, not to mini-mod but there's a tactics and training discussion section, if you post there, you'll get more and better answers

Go heavy on wing play? A simple 4-3-3 should do the trick.

If you have mentality set to "ultra attacking" (or whatever it's called, the one when you are desperate to claw one back), he'll automatically come forward in the final highlights of the game in set pieces. Other than that, idk if you can do it permanently.

How do I find out info about a player's suspension? Neither the "profile" nor the "information" tab mentions anything.

Post full tactic please!

Doesn't it have multiple options as is? For all 3 slots? You could switch the new tactic to the 3rd slot for example and plan there maybe?

Same, I haven't lost interest in my Portimonense save (1st save and only one so far) where I've somehow won everything (except CL ) so many times I've lost track. Then went finally to EPL to the worst Liverpool imaginable (or else they'd never hire me I think) to win the title and the CL. None of those things are happening so far, however rebuilding goes well. Do you really start over the same save? This is the thing I never do.

I agree, yet they weren't doing that and were blocking the short passes, we are trying to recreate what they were doing mostly I would think.

Thanks for this, I was looking for it, I did the same mistake I think.

No screenshot as I've paid the extra 10M and bought him eventually, the player was 100% within his loan contract, the transfer would take place within this date and everything was up front. However, the player had a minimum fee release clause higher than my loan agreement, maybe this is what caused it? Maybe it's illegal to agree for less? It's kinda vague in the game. With another player I had the same agreement with (who had no clause) everything went smoothly, it gave me the green indication stating that they have to accept and all. i think it's a bug and the game gets confused when there's a minimum fee release clause. Thanks for replying!

Hi all, are the "optional future fee" when loaning a player mandatory for the other club? Like a clause? Because I've matched this amount and they negotiated for more??? Is this a bug? Thank you!

Most, if not all, of Gegenpress TI, close down much more, get stuck in, pass into space, higher line, much higher LOE, positive mentality, counter, prevent short GK distribution etc according to what I saw.

1. It's natural, he's a poacher after-all, try a dlf -su or pf -su as you did and you'll see results. 2.Try "Hit early crosses" maybe? it seems to be exactly what you want. 3. Are your players good enough to play this role? Is the if right footed? Btw, you need to "throw it long" to distribute to full-backs, not roll it out.

The 168 cm CB with 2 jumping who dominates anything and everything in the air...

Did 4/5, the first one was tricky lol. What really confused me was , when did he play a 4-4-2? I don't recall that last year...

Thierry Henry would like to have a word!

I saw this video and from what I saw, here is my Benfica team (comments following): GK: Rooted to his post. That's all. Didn't try counter attacking balls. DR: Close to the touchline, more of a wing back than a full back for sure, did angled passes so on a support duty imo. DCR: Just hoof it, no plan for attack whatsoever. DCL: Mose composed, tried mainly short simple passes so no bpd. Tried one direct pass and failed miserably. DL: Very aggressive, took lots of efforts, roamed from position, so he seems like a cwb on attack, a rarity but there he is. DM: For sure a HB, many times they form a three ATB with the defenders and change the passing angles in this video. MCR: That was difficult. He seems to close down a lot and lose his position and not stay wide in attack, so not a carillero. Did no forward runs and played the occasional long ball, so a bwm-su imo. Extras: Run wide with ball instruction. MCL: Did dirty work but also moved in the half spaces, drifted wide etc. A Mez on support. AMC: An attacking midfielder who took efforts and was at times further than the forwards, so definitely on attack duty. Not a playmaker as the team wasn't actively looking for him. FCR: Not sure where the difficulty is, a pure forward who links up the play and presses only selectively and not actively, so a dlf-a. Extras: Stay wider, roam from position (he mainly roamed after they were left with ten men though). FCL: Looks to win flick-ons, doesn't take effort to beat his man (though with weaker teams he was IIRC), so a TF-su.

So, you bought this guy or what? Cause I definitely would do so.
