Form
I don’t understand - does his actual CA change or what? Is it just the game trying to tell me “who is good, including form”?

Why do players change their Current Ability even when they don’t change attributes?
Example: My 29 year old Jamaal Lascelles is now a “Good Premier League Player”, and he was previously (like a month ago) “a decent player”. This is also shown on the Progress bar, where it seems the stars change even when the player doesn’t change. I haven’t had any new signings either, this is in May.0 -
Which roles have hard coded movements and other peculiarities and which roles are just “a group of PIs”? Is there an overview of this somewhere?

Is there any point in having multiple recovery sessions, either on the same day, multiple days or before/after the game?

I took Newcastle to fifth place in my first season there, using a system a lot similar to the original post.
For the second season, my reputation will be high and teams will be more cautious. I’m thinking of having a version of the system that presses a bit higher, for games where I’m the clear favorite or where I’m behind - for instance by pushing the LoE and DL up by one, as well as having more aggressive wing backs (and maybe a DLPd and a B2B). Do you have any experiences with that sort of thing? Not changing the system when I’m down a goal feels wrong.

If I change position/role/duty training to "playing position", will the additional focus training be more effective? Let's say I have a central defender that I really want to improve in Defensive Positioning (Marking, Tackling, Positioning). Is it best if I only care about the growth of those three attributes to put position/role/duty on playing position?

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll test out some different combinations in the games.
My first league game was a solid 3-0 win over Leeds where we created over 2 xG and the barely got over 0,2. The ME is really improved since last year, more smart interplay between the players.

Thank you!
Sure, the DLF-A could work, and I would try it out with a supporting attacking mid behind him.
Why is that? Do you think an APa would be too aggressive?

This is a great thread that came at a great time - I had just started a new save with Newcastle and wanted to be defensively solid and strong on the break to utilize the speed of Saint-Maximin, Fraser, Almiron and Wilson.
Wilson is such a great goalscorer and I feel that by using him in a DLFs role, I'm removing some of the potential goals that come from him being played in behind. In possession I want him to be leading the line and looking for goals also. The best thing would be a halfway-role where he sometimes attacks the space behind the defence and sometimes drops deep. On Positive team mentality, the only individual mentality for forwards are either Balanced (all the support mentalities, like DLFs) or Very Attacking.
My question is: Do you think a DLFa could work as a sort of "halfway role" for Wilson? Do you think another role would suit him better?

I'm currently playing Sunderland, and we overachieved in our first season in the PL (21/22) and finished 6th. Hooray, we're going to the Europa League!
But then Tottenham wins Europa League, Everton wins the Conference League, Liverpool wins the FA cup ... and Sunderland isn't going to Europe?
Currently it's 22 June in-game and I have to compose my squad. If I'm playing in a continental cup, I need extra depth. But it seems I'm not playing there.
I don't have any EL matches in my schedule, I see that Liverpool have these matches. Does this mean I'm not playing in a continental cup this year?
It says in the rules of the Premier League that 6th place gets you into the EL group stage "depending on the winner of the FA cup" - but Liverpool won the FA cup, so it seems that's wrong.
Anyone else have experienced this?

Hello everyone!
I'm struggling to understand which parts of the scouting report I should pay more attention to when it comes to player potential - especially stars vs. the actual words.
Potential ability is found three places - in the "Potential Ability" stars, in the words of the Recommendation and (sometimes) in the Observations.
Look at this report:
If he has the potential to be a Premier League player, does that mean that his actual "stars" are more like 3,5 than 2,5?
Compare to this one:
This player also "has the potential to be a Premier Player in the future".
Same here, but it's a "decent Premier League player".
Also - what does "could improve a lot" mean?
For players with a high current ability, it seems that potential ability isn't mentioned in the summary. Examples:
With regards to my own players - do you know what the logic is between these examples? Do you know what the words correspond to in actual PA?
Currently operating at an Championship level - Potential to be a PL (Premier League) right winger in the future (CA 3 stars, PA 4,5 stars inc. one black star)
Good player for most Championship sides - Potential to be a good PL player in the future (CA 2,5 stars, PA 3,5 stars)
Currently operating at a PL level - Could improve a lot in the future
Currently operating at a PL level - Could improve by a slight amount in the future (CA 3.5 stars, PA 4.5 stars inc. one black star)
Decent player for most PL sides - Potential to be a good PL striker in the future (CA 3 stars, PA 3,5 stars)

How does the Hidden Attribute "Pressure" apply in FM Touch when there is no team talks or individual talks except for the occasional media question?
0 -
(Not sure if this falls under player development, please let me know if I should take this to the General forum)
I'm a bit baffled by this scouting report (and others like it). When it says "potential to be a Premier League player in the future", that sounds pretty good. But the stars and the recommendation is pretty low. What should I pay more attention to?
Also, when does the game use "potential to be a EFL Championship/Premier League player" and when does it use "could improve a lot"?

Is there any way of making sure that the Training Intensity is set to the Physio Recommendation? If I choose "automatic" Training Intensity, it just becomes Normal all the time.
I'm playing FM Touch mostly to save time, I still want to maximise player development, so I find myself changing the Training Intensity to the Physio Recommendation every other day. It become tiresome, even if I have a Player View that allows me to change the Training Intensity for several players at once.

Do you use any PIs?

Hello everyone!
I want my players to develop as well as possible, and I see that my Physio often recommends Double Intensity for players with ~90% Condition and above. Choosing “automatic” for intensity means it will always be normal. Is there any way to automate intensity changes, or do I have to do it manually? I’m afraid of forgetting to change it back and then having injury issues related to matches.

Based on experiences from previous FMs (I'm talking the first half of the 2010s), I almost have no faith in 24-year-olds (and older) to do any significant developing. This is within the context of a club with good training facilities, coaches etc. I remember seeing 21-year-olds take giant leaps, but 24-year-olds barely improving.
So my question is: How much development would you expect from a 24-year-old in general?

When I replace my Chief Scout with another, I lose all my scouting reports. Is it supposed to be this way? It doesn't seem logical that when you fire your Chief Scout, he deletes all the scouting reports.
This makes me reluctant to get a new (and better) Chief Scout with better attributes or a higher Size of Scouting Team.

(I'm playing FM Touch)
While playing a game, the game (or assistant manager?) is able to analyze which roles your opponent's players have. It's shown on Analysis - Formations.
1) Is this something that the assistant manager does for you?
2) If yes, is this affected by your assistant manager's "Tactical" (under the Coaching category) or "Tactical Knowledge" (under the Knowledge category?)
3) Are there any ways of knowing the opponent's player roles when the game starts?

Hello everyone! I'm managing Sunderland and won League One in the first seasons. Right now it's July 2020 and I'm preparing for the Championship.
Do you think this guy is good enough to play as a backup striker (Deep Lying Forward) in the Championship? By that I mean as a second/third choice, meaning I have a clear first choice and another guy that also can play striker pretty well, but it's not his primary position.
I play a possession-oriented 4141 (41221) where the striker is meant to receive balls and distribute them, and also try to get on the end of chances.
Also: His ability is judged as
and 
. Do you have any idea what this could mean, PA-wise? It would be nice to have an inkling of his ceiling if I choose to use him.

Have you tried with 2xIWB and a DLPd plus a CMa in central midfield?

If I fire my Chief Scout (and replace him with one with better JPA but worse scouting knowledge), will it reduce the numbers of players in my Player Search?

If I replace my Chief Scout (who has a lot of scouting knowledge but low JPA/JPP) with a new Chief scout (who has low scouting knowledge but high JPA/JPP), will I lose a lot of player knowledge in Player Search?

Assuming I want to take charge of everything I can in the club (in Staff -> Responsibilites), is there a guide to what attributes are important for the things only the staff does? I've tried looking online, but all I find are guides to the full game.
For instance - newgen recruitment for the Head of Youth Development, or scouting players' potential for the Chief Scout. I don't really trust the game's evaluation of the staff or the recommended attributes, because I dont' know what responsibilites it assumes. Therefore:
1) What are the things that only the staff can do besides youth recruitment, player scouting and injury treatment?
2) What are the important attributes for those tasks for the roles responsible?

What happens when a players get those “orange arrows on every single attribute” shifts? It’s quite frustrating when it happens. Sometimes you get the reverse a bit later, sometimes not.
