Any update about it? @Zachary Whyte

In truth. my goal is the opposite: remove the Under 20 and add the Under 23. Anyway, I appreciate your message and, yes, I know it's a complicated process I'm asking for. I have tried many things, but without success. We need someone very experienced. I eliminated the Under 20, I changed the rules of Primavera 1: I changed the number of teams and the ranking rules. But in the game my Under 20s are re-created anyway. Why? Because I discovered that on advanced rules->Italy->reserve championships... there is the setting that automatically creates the U18 and U20 teams for every club. If I remove this rule, what happens is that the Primavera Championship no longer works and all the Under 20 teams are entered in the Argentina Under 20 Copa Libertadores. WTF!!!

Can anyone help me?

Yes, but...it happens. I think it's a bit complicated and it's all linked to the major leagues. Maybe there are some rules that need to be changed. The point is that I have never changed competitions, so I am not very expert about this area of the editor.

Hello everyone! I have a question for you about the pre-game editor. I'm Inter and I would like to eliminate my Under 20 team and make it an Under 23 team registered in Serie C. Is it possible in any way? I've tried various tests, but I can't. A strange thing happens: I managed to create the Under 23 team and inserted it into Serie C by moving other teams. Okay for now. But the Under 20 is also automatically created in the game (so I end up having (u18-u20-u23 and 1st squad), not registered in the Primavera Championship, but still selected for the Primavera Cup. I would like the Under 20 to be completely eliminated, because I effectively converted it to Under 23. I'm probably a noob and I'm missing something.

Hi everybody! I created a new topic about Wide-Centre-Back on FM. Another role that developers should refine, beyond Wingbacks. I believe that you, lovers of the 352, may be interested.

Why not use DWs instead of WMs to have slightly more consistent flanks on defense? Maybe use man marking on opposing offensive wingers.

Yes, it's good, but I disagree on some points. There is still too much superficiality in the analysis of Inter's 352....some clichés persist and are also present in that topic. And they also disagree on some roles and some team tactics.

Not I have not a gaming channel.

That's right, that's an option! There are various solutions to fix this. What you said or add a new preferred move/trait, create a new indication in team tactics about how many players attack the area, etc etc... The important thing is that FM personnel understand the problem and that their scouts do a minimum analysis of modern 352s or similar to understand that they don't work like they did 15 years ago. The 433 evolved with Guardiola and in the meantime other modules also evolved!

Yes true, that's what I think/fear too. But I hope that at least a small improvement can also occur in FM24, because for too many years certain modules or roles have been left behind in an approximate way. It seems there are only 433, 4231, 4312, inverted fullbacks, Guardiola and gegenpressing. What a drag these trends are! The 352 also needs to be rethought regarding the WCB, its fluidity, the passages that change the flanks, etc...but... For now, I believe that this single change (wingbacks) is quite quick to implement and despite being one thing, it would already be very important! I hope so, at least that they give us some news.

@Zachary Whyte I found a great article about pro training the 352 and wingbacks. I hope it can be useful to developers. We dream of a day when these actions will be possible on FM24! With a BBM and a Wingback attacking the box like this. Which now never happens. https://elitesoccercoaching.net/attacking/attacking-phases-incorporating-wing-backs

Will possible updates on this topic be reported here by you? In the meantime, the discussion is also going on in depth in another previous topic. Perhaps this can be useful to developers.

Exactly! Both the underlap and overlap of WCBs need to improve. I have the impression that the game applies these movements (TI) only to full-backs or wingbacks, not to central defenders. This makes WCBs limited. In general, 352 is not very well known and interpreted in England. Both by developers and users. Especially about the roles of WCB and WB. There is an anachronistic conception! With my 2-3 topics I'm trying to make some suggestions, perhaps if more people talk about it, FM will make some changes. I recommend all you participating in the bug reporting topic.

Of course, many of us currently use DWs instead of WBs for all the reasons described in this thread. But DWs are not the perfect role. Because they don't drop to 5 in defense exactly like the WB, they don't have much freedom of choice on the TIs (marking, pressing, dribbling) and above all in the opponent's midfield they don't stay wide exactly like the WB. They tend to give less width in the last 30 metres, even with the ball on their side. Obviously it's good for them to enter the opponent's area. But they provide fewer crosses than WBs and don't allow many underlapses to your wide defenders. In reality, WBs cut inside ONLY to attack the far post on the cross coming from the other side or if there is a fluid transition with positions exchanges. Otherwise they must always stay wide, almost on the sideline, because they must give breadth to the team. So giving "cut inside" to DWs is not correct. (I tried too) Because he is a TI who tends to centralize while carrying the ball and perhaps use his weak foot. It has nothing to do with what we're looking for. In short... the problem remains. Between WB and DW a pendulum between pros and cons. Maybe we should also talk about the WCB... maybe I will in the future.

I re-suggest these other 2 complementary topics. AND...

@avenger22 @GunmaN1905 Wow done guys, I'm proud of you! It's nice to see so many tactical fans who are so careful to the dynamics of an advanced 352. Let's hope that the FM24 developers will also pay attention to it.

Here I am, I have uploaded the pkm file. The two wingbacks (WB and CWB) are both set AT and the team mentality is OFFENSIVE. The tempo is medium-low and the structure is fluid. Both players have player traits: go forward often, enter the opponent's area, play on the edge of offside. Precisely to force them to be as offensive as possible. They also have good off the ball, great quickness, stamina, workrate and good intuition. During the first half I also tried to lower the attack width by 2 steps, even though this shouldn't be the case. Inter's wingbacks in real life stand very wide...yet they attack the far post, as can be seen from the real matches I linked below. In my FM24 game: Min 6.00 Carlos Augusto doesn't go up on the opposite side. Min 8.50 Carlos Augusto does not follow the action, he walks to the opposite side. Min 9.00 Carlos Augusto arrives too late in the area. Min 13.00 Bellanova is late when Carlo Augusto goes to cross. If he had done so, there would only have been Haaland in the area. It's paradoxical that Bellanova only started running AFTER Carlos Augusto LOST the ball. 15.55 Emblematic. Bellanova runs and goes for the cross, but Carlos Augusto advances walking the other way. He will never be able to reach the area at the far post. It's a shame, he really had a lot of space in front... with a long cross he could have volleyed or headed the ball. 19.25 Carlos Augusto does not throw himself into the area. 20.50 Carlos Augusto does not throw himself into the area. 25.55 Carlos Augusto does not follow the action, moves slowly and does not reach the area. 27.14 Same thing as 1 minute earlier 40.00 Bellanova enters the area, but only because the game restarted from a throw-in and he was already positioned forward. However, the movement he makes is not totally satisfactory because he walks close to the opponent instead of attacking the far post. 41.50 Bellanova runs with the ball and Carlos Augusto goes up lazily instead of increasing the run. 48.25 Bellanova runs and crosses, there are only 2 attackers in the area. Carlos Augusto stands behind and walks. Since min 48.30 I have changed a lot. I went back to my usual DWs on the sides, set the maximum width, lowered the mentality by 1 and activated hold positions on transitions. Yet you will see that the DWs often accompany the action and enter the opponent's area. (Obviously this role is NOT the right one, because the DWs don't descend like the WBs in defence, they press too much, they can't adopt narrow marking and are less wide in attack...) 50.50 Carlos Augusto follows the action and enters the area. 58.50 Carlos Augusto follows the action and enters the area. 62.55 Cross from Augusto and there are 4 players in the area. This should also happen with WB (if the team has an offensive mentality), but it only happens with DW, W and WM. 64.15 Carlos Augusto attacks the post perfectly as soon as he sees that Bellanova pushes to the right. Remember that if your scout team needs to talk or have doubts about this role I am available. I'm used to doing tactical analyzes on Inter in real life. But they can understand everything by seeing the highlights of the 3 linked Inter-Roma matches here below. Inter - Salernitana.pkm

@Zachary Whyte HI!!! Thanks for the reply Zachary! He's in every match... for years, not just on FM24. This is precisely an antiquated tactical conception of this role. As explained in the 2 linked topics. I'll send you a screenshot...but as soon as I can I'll save you a PKM file For any doubts I remain available.
