    You cant without a custom database as there are only so many free slots in the 3. Liga. There is a custom database that extends the German League system all the way down to 7. league.

    Check my answer here with a link to that database - can also be found on Steam workshop

    Ok. So there is nothing I can do in-game to improve the chances for them to get promoted to the 3.div?

    Holy hell! What did you do in the second season to make him explode unto the scene like that?

    Well, I went to a 442 from a 433 the season before. And I brought in Andreas Pereira, who can not score but makes a lot of assists (14 in the league). He played up Uth nicely consistently through the sesason. In the end we finished third, well behind Dortmund and Bayern.

  3. I would like a bit input on how to think about squad selection. Lets say I have a 23 year old CM with great attributes for the AP-role, but after 6 months have played 17 matches, 0 goals, 3 assists and a rating of 6.69. Not very good, but still my coaches rate him at 4 stars. I also have a 16 year old, rated at 2 stars, how have played 10 games, 2 goals, 2 assist and a rating of 6.90. 

    Do you play the star player or the highes performer?

  4. I dont understand why this tactic encourages so many long shots. Even with "work box in to box" and PI "fewer shots" I'm getting way to many long shots. Just played at home against Chievo; 42 shots, 32 long shots.

    Is it because Very Fluid gives players more creativity? Even my MC who has a PI saying he likes to pass rather than shoot had 13(!) long shots in this match. Non hitting target.

    I have to mention that the tactic worked great for the first half of the season (14-5-0, 53-21) and not at all the rest of the season (7-7-5, 39-18). This might not be the tactics fault..

    I feel that sometimes switching to counter improves my attacking play. You'll draw out opposition a tad and get a little more space for your players to run into, your midfielders will then more often chose to play through balls to your AM or striker instead of taking shots. I usually switch to counter right when i scored one goal and often score some more afterwards.

    In general though, this is not a very high scoring tactic i feel. Winning 1-0, 2-0 a lot, realy high scorelines are a rare thing.

    Thanks. I will try counter. Switching to control or attacking never works for me. Resulting in only more long shots.

  6. After playing almost a season with this style and tactic with AC Milan, I am pretty happy with it. 2 points behind Juve, and 12 points above third place. But I have noticed a problem:

    - We often have many shots (25-30), but many of them are longshots (15-20) if I tell my players to put the ball into the net, almost nothing happens in attack. The shots fall to 5-10 pr. match and few goals.

    Any tips?

  7. Do you ever lower the defensive line? I play on FM17 with the tactic from the start of this thread.

    I just played against Juventus with my Milan team in a pre-season match and...:

                      Milan    Juventus

    Shots:           11  -   10

    On target:    5   -    6

    Possession: 56%-44%

    Big chances 1   -    3

    Result:          0   -   6

     

    Five of the goals came from through balls to Higuain from the center.

    Edit: Just played Sevilla and the same thing happened. Vietto runs through the defence like a knife through butter. We win the possession and shots on target, but the match result was 1-9 with Vietto scoring 8 goals.

     

  8. I`m having big problems on my left back. First halv of the season gone and 13 of 32 goal conceded is from crosses from my left side. My left back is still one of my best players, both in rating and in stars (7,45 and 4 stars). It looks to me like he is always too narrow in defence. Looks more like a CD when we are under attack.

    On the other side we have only conceded 4 goals, but my right back is just 17 years old and really no good (6,66 and 2 stars).

    I have tried different instructions on my left back, with no result. I play a 4123 with a inside attacker (support) in front of him.

    Any ideas?
