    This was explained by the staff in a thread I can't find right now. The number of preset formations was reduced and the DM/CM positions were readjusted to better fit with AI behaviour. AI managers only use preset formations, and they basically cover 95% of what is used IRL. (even Marcelo Bielsa said there are only 10 different formations everyone uses a small variation of one of those)

    I notice that teammates cross a lot more to the TM

    I have used a TM/A in a flat 4-4-2. I reckon a gegenpress style works better than the traditional long ball style, though. You can start with the gegenpress preset and use a front pairing of DLF/S + TM/A for example.

    you need to check the league rules. i think it's two players on loan from the same club, and around 4 loans total but I'm not sure

    I did a DOF save back in FM21. He was a fan of wingers and I only had one right back. It was ok for short term squad building, but if you want to develop youngsters and have a truly balanced squad it's far from perfect. But it can be a fun challenge nonetheless.

    if it works for you, good. but I don't get why people insist on overloading every position with player instructions and also claim to be inexperienced at creating tactics. just use the simple roles and duties and start from the base presets. it works

    I think the Libero will move to the same space as the BWM And also you are perhaps funnelling play too much through the middle, there are no wide roles

    A good rule of thumb would be to base your tactic on a preset style. Let's say you want to create a high pressing tactic where your best players are the left wing back and the right winger. You load up the Gegenpress style and take a look into the TI and player roles. Then, you change the roles to get the best out of your two star players (e.g. CWB/a and IF/a) and then adapt some of the TI to encourage some movements involving those two players (e.g. "Focus play down the left", "Run at defence", or "Pass into space").

    Something that matches the region I'm managing in. When I did a Scandinavian tour I went by konungur jeriko

    I maxed out my youth recruitment as soon as I got the money to do it. Every year I get one or two 4-5* prospects and several 3-4*

    Your DOF thinks the offer is good, but might not be good enough to convince Charlotte FC

    You need to sign players with higher CA than your current players

    I think these represent current job adverts, but I dont think they are playable roles, which means the practical effects are none.

    What is better for a youth player developing on loan? Loaning to a top team from the second tier -> expect higher match ratings but weaker level of competition Loaning to a bottom team from the top tier -> expect lower match ratings but stronger level of competition

    The thing that takes more processing time is playable leagues, because it generates match reports/stats/analysis/stats/etc. If you add e.g. "players from top clubs in Asia" the game will add those players and then it will create newgens for that same amount of players as the years advance.

    Teamwork and workrate should definitely remain visible, they're an "observable" attribute just like pace, bravery, or first touch.

    Another option for a game setup is the following: - one nation loaded (for a one-club or one-nation save) - many nations in view-only, to force transfer activity - manually add players from top clubs from all continents This means the game will only process leagues from one nation, but you stull get a boatload of players (around 100k).
  18. kingjericho
    base tactic is incredibly simple but you can change some roles. don't change many duties, though, it's important to keep the balance of defend/support/attack duties. for example each of my strikers has a different role depending on their attributes. i set the tactic to change for specific player between AF/A, PF/A, and TF/A also wingers are either W/A or IW/A depending on their stronger foot

    Caldas, PT 3rd tier. Back to back promotions in the first 2 seasons, in season 5 won the top division using only PT players.

    Sacchi inspired style. No PIs or OIs. Works just as fine as a 442. Almost gamebreaking
  21. kingjericho
    I watched an "optimal setup" guide in which the suggestion for one-club saves is to load only the club's league, and then add other leagues as view only and add extra players. Is that a good recommendation?
  22. kingjericho
    I put my newly signed set piece coach in charge of everything set pieces related. We finished the season with 25 goals from set pieced, second best had 10.

    Liga 3 has a North and South group, and in the end it has a Promotion and Relegation group. I don't know how the game structures similar leagues (Scotland, Serbia, Belgium, etc) but in the Portuguese Liga 3 the first and second stages are displayed as two separate seasons in the clubs' history record which looks off. See screen below:

    i rarely have more than 20 player in my default shortlist. I just use the player search and when the transfer window opens i shortlist the main targets
  25. kingjericho
    That's an interesting point of view. I don't believe the basis of the TC will change soon. Getting rid of fluidity as an option was a good start, though. Nowadays you can still use a Defensive mentality and then have 8 or 9 attacking duties which hardly makes any sense. Maybe the player duties should dictate the team's overall mentality?
