My interpretation: The Ben White is the most difficult to mirror. I would try an IFB with run wide with the ball as well as underlap right in the TI's - not sure if this would work or not though, my idea would be to get him to over and underlap. LB probably add sit narrower as a PI. Could put Havertz as a DLF but I think having both him and Odegaard in the AM slots makes more sense, perhaps add to mark the opposition CB's? Note, this is an interpretation if Jorginho/Partey + Rice both start, otherwise it would look a bit different.

On the subject of scouting, below is the issue I am having. If anything, it's worse than before. Here is my focus criteria: Then, on the scouting assignments page it shows this he has 9 reports: Upon clicking the 9 reports it shows he has zero: Then when I go to recruitment focus it shows only 2 in progress: I started this assignment in July and it is now 1st November. So my scout has seen only 2 players that are a minimum 2 star current ability and 3 star potential all season? Scouting has been broken all season - and it is a huge part of the game. How am I supposed to squad build whilst not finding any players? the changelist said this was fixed, it has not been fixed.

I set up some scout recruitments (mostly 1 star min, three star potential - so you would think each scout would find plenty of players) and went on holiday and am still getting next to no recommendations. Scouting has been broken all year. This doesn't make any sense, surely they would have spotted a few players that meet those requirements?

FM24 : Nottingham Not Notts Forest Thread
Gilberto Silva replied to Ronaldo Beckham's topic in Good Player & Team Guide
Finished up season one with Forest. Ended up finishing 15th in the league, a fairly comfortable 11 points from the relegation places. The FA cup we got to the 5th round before losing to Wigan of all teams, 2-1 after extra-time and the league cup we were dumped out in the 3rd round losing to a strong Man United side. Stand-out players of the season were definitely Chris Wood (16 goals in 32 league appearances) and Taiwo Awoniyi (12 in 29). Elanga (11 goals, 6 assists in 36) and Hudson-Odo (7 goals, 6 assists in 36) i both impressed as well. In other areas, Murillo impressed at the back with an average rating of 6.90 over the season (highest of all defenders). Summer transfer window I was given a decent kitty of around £45m - wanted to add another few attacking players and replace some ageing defenders. Window ended up looking like this: Ins: Rodrigo Ribeiro (Sporting CP, £10.5m) Omari Benjamin (Arsenal, free) Jack Moorhouse (Manchester United, free) Zack Steffen (Manchester City, £1.1m) Lawrence Vigouroux (Burnley, £300,000) Gonzalo Montiel (Sevilla, £8.5m) Neal Maupay (Everton, £4m rising to £4.8m) Manor Solomon (Tottenham, loan) David Brooks (AFC Bournemouth, loan) Tobias Slotsager (OB, £3.8m) Wout Faes (Leicester City, £15m rising to £22m) Outs: Scott McKenna (Wolves, free) Joe Worrall (Crystal Palace, loan) Fin Back (Hibernian, free) Cheikou Kouyate (Cagliari, free) Felipe (Corinthians, free) Gustavo Scarpa (Al-Qadish, £4m) Matt Turner (Al-Shabab, loan) Odysseas Vlachodimos (West Ham, loan) Jonjo Shelvey (Luton, £3.9m) Hwang Ui-Jo (Al-Raed, £2.3m) Remo Freuler (Real Sociedad, £10.5m) Lewis O'Brien (Bologna, loan) Josh Bowler (Sheffield Wednesday, £5m) jonathan Panzo (AZ, loan) Richie Laryea (Luton, £2.3m) A fairly decent squad refresh - getting some high wages off the books. Leaves my squad for the upcoming season looking like: GK: Sels, Steffen, Vigoroux DR: Montiel, Williams DL: Richards, Toffolo, Aina DC: Niakhate, Murillo, Omabomidele, Faes DM: Dominguez, Sangare, Danilo, Yates AM: Gibbs-White, Brooks, Elanga, Hudson-Odoi, Solomon, Dennis FC: Awoniyi, Woods, Maupay, Ribeiro Still have a few weeks before the window closes, currently unsure on the left-back situation. I wanted Tavares back from Arsenal but they wouldn't loan him back and he refused to join on a permanent deal. I think with the additions of Brooks and Solomon in the attacking areas should give us enough for a push for mid-table this season. -
FM24: German leagues - Bundesliga and beyond
Gilberto Silva replied to Fraser's topic in Good Player & Team Guide
Booted up a Union Berlin save with aims to get them regularly qualifying for Europe. Decided to adopt a similar strategy in terms of transfer and tactics. Recruitment will focus on players from the lower levels of the German pyramid whilst looking to unearth some players from the surrounding regions (Austria, Switzerland). Tactics-wise, I’m keeping with the 3-5-2 they seem to pivot toward in real-life. Want to keep compact and solid at the back and mainly create chances on the counter. This leads me to utilising the defensive and cautious mentalities for the first time in a long-term save. Hopefully I can defy the odds and keep Union in the top-half of the table on a limited budget. I also plan to integrate some of the academy players throughout the save, to start with the facilities are not great, but there are a couple of youngsters I feel can add depth to the squad in the second season. Will also help with European squad registration (if I succeed) as to start off with, there isn’t many homegrown talent at the club. My aim for the Champion’s League campaign is to try and sneak a third place finish in the group stage and give the Europa League a real go. -
What Happened to Custom Photo Upload?

I don’t think we’re supposed to ask - as any mention of it has been completely ignored. -

Ok thanks mate - are you aware of any way to change it? Perhaps I'll take a file from another skin if not. -

Is there a way to remove the graphic of the user manager on the main menu? For whatever reason it's very laggy on my machine. -

Absolute top work on the skin. I remember using it a few additions ago, I think I've found my FM24 skin. One question I have though, whenever I click a player - their info can take a few seconds to load in: Is this normal? Perhaps an issue my side. -
Anyone had any luck attempting a recreation of Michel's tactics at Girona this season? In real life they have taken La Liga by storm. Tried my hand after reading a few bits about how they play, in my first attempt I feel like I got pretty close. Below is a pass map from their game against Real Madrid: Then below is my first pre-season friendly (a 3-3 draw with Sparta Rotterdam): Current tactic: I moved Aleix Garcia into the central position as he and Blind seemed to occupy the same space a lot - by moving him central I am getting similar positions to how he is in real-life, conducting everything in the middle of the park. I'm thinking about perhaps switching Gutierrez to a IWB or perhaps giving him sit narrower instruction but wonder if I'd run into the same issue with him getting in Blind's way. Perhaps switching Blind to an IFB with Gutierrez ahead of him as an IWB? But I wonder how that would work out of possession. Any thoughts?

Top work as usual! Not sure if this is a bug or not, but went o make a sub in-game and clicked the position to see who I had that could replace the injured player and it gave no names despite having other left-backs on the bench:
