How are you guys that are a couple season in doing with your tactics? Are you trying to shape your youth players in to a existing and successfull(?) tactic or do you switch tactic every other season to better fit your new better players coming up? I've always struggle to decide if I want to stay with a successful tactic when a really good youth player breaks in to the first team and does not properly fit in immediately. Or i'm trying to shape a youth player to early and do not let them develop their strenghts properly because it does not fit my senior team tactic.

Trying this out for a bit and two things have I noticed for my team. 1. Must have strong defenders with good heading/jumping reach ability and a goalkeeper that is good in the air. First matches I had a really small keeper and got punished severly by teams using the outside of the pitch to put pressure. My defencers were not good enough to keep the forwards away and the keeper was gluyed to the line instead of goiung out to get the ball. A extra plus if your wide defenders are decent at heading/jumping reach as well. I have switched out the keeper and my two centre backs for next season which I hope will fix my defensive problems a lot. But I will continue to investigate how this problem occurs depening on if the opponents have 1 or 2 forwards or IF on both sides. 2. Using "Work the ball into the box" against smaller teams that don't push their defensive line forward. It keeps the pressure arounbd the opponents box and let my players move forward and a more steady flow of the game for my team at least. It's a really interesting tactic that I like a lot! Will continue to use this as a inspiration and see if my teaams can wion something with this.

Would you say that you have to load the big leagues in Europe to get more clubs interested and paying better for your players? I played with Velez in FM21 and had really big problems with selling players because a few european clubs were interested despite greats talents.

I've got the same problem. Very frustrating.

Anyone having luck with pairing double CM(A)s or a CM(A) with a Mezzala in a 3-midfield? Something like CM(A)-DLP(De)-CM(A)? With fullbacks cowering or IWB maybe?
