hi Knap,
Is there a 343 to go with the pep 3421 and how would you hold a lead or do a tough away game with either?

Millwall played in the UEFA Cup back in 04/05 after losing the FA Cup Final to Man Utd. They have never been in the PL

Hi @knap I've used your 424 and venom to win the champs league and fa cup with leeds 2nd season and record points in 3rd season and fifa club wc and the thing i found was to set cb's to press less often and they perform much better and don't get caught in zones where they can get turned. I'v done this with all tactics and works a treat.
They will still have the odd bad game but their usually beasts.

I've just started a United save & hoping to try and keep it fairly realistic. Who have you guys bought as a Casemiro back up / rotational option?
Fred and Mc Tominay will do 1st season then signed Palhinha from fulham and untrained dive into tackles and then let the first two go, got decent money for both.

Has anyone massively reduced the debt or the club got sold?
Would really like to massively reduce debt, nearing the end of season 3 and i'm nearly 350 million in debt. Got wages down to 5 million and about to let eriksen and de gea leave on frees and already have their replacements. Don't plan to buy anyone and probably need to let go a few extra wide men to bring in a 150+ mil hopefully. Will have to reduce bonus payments drastically.
Any other tips?

What is the best tactic against 4231 away, my team is great but i'm badly struggling in away games vs this. 343 works sometimes but 1-2 bad player performances and i end up getting trashed.
Any ideas?

78th save!? Since October 2018, I assume? That's still a lot.
There's no harm in being a tinkerer. I'd actually say it is beneficial if you have a team that can learn and adapt to different formations. If you watch real world football managers will change formations regularly to counter the opposition. FM often rewards the same formations being used.
In my current save I have tended to switch between a 3-5-2 and a 4-4-2. I've tried 4-5-1s and 4-3-3s. I will also tinker a lot with player roles to get the best out of individuals.
Thanks for reply, on average a 2 or 3 season save to be fair. but thats at least 2-3 weeks anyway, i rarely holiday.
I was wondering when you look at the opposition do you tinker your tactics to beat them or do you go with what you know?
I've trained all age groups up to Junior IRL so I've always had a feel for tactics, but FM is another matter.
I also didn't mention different teams and diff tempos, Barca playing fast is one thing but trying it Fulham is another.
Any recommendations for a 2-3 season save? before FM21

WARNING! This might be a bit of a read!
I didn't buy FM19 or 20 but I won 20 off SI last August 19 and I didn't mind the first match engine. Actually liked it a lot. I ended up breaking my laptop screen and couldnt fix the resolution( long story bla bla bla)
So I saw a thread this morning asking for the best FM20 tactic, I saw a few replies and 2 or 3 people said there is no such thing. There is no plug and play anymore. Fair enough.
On FM18, the game I always play I have 9 dif tactics with many different permutations and mirrors in those systems.
So my default tactic is 433, DLP with inside forwards and a complete forward. Play this vs 433 at home or against 4141 away, Iwbs Attacking in away european games
The 2nd Tactic is also 433 vs. 442 away or a 352 anytime, A half half back always and depending on how they line up 2 ramdeuters with man marking vs fb/wb
3rd tactic is a 442, vs another 442 at home I'll change a bwm to DLP in home games and vs a 4231 at home one of my full backs plays an inverted wing back, the dlp i'll switch to a carrello and my main forward next to a F9 will be an AF.
Next up is playing vs a 4141 at home and I'll play a 2 inverted wbs and it looks like a 424 with second striker, if you know fm you'll have seen it. I also have a 4231 which I only use away from home with nothing to lose.
A waste Time 4141 and a tactic I call anti football 4-2dm-1cm-2wm-1st for when I need an away result.
I guess my point is, has anyone done anything like this on FM20 or have you found a plug and play? I get called the tinkerer by FMs social media thing.
Also I think this is my main problem with FM20, I didnt want to learn the nooks and crannies again.
I number my saves, every year! On FM18 i'm on 78.3 i think; so what that means is, its my 78th save and I changed clubs 3 times... Anyone else do this??

Don't know if this is the right place but here goes?
I had the demo since the start and have seemed to only update to match engine 20.20 but the file isn't in progfiles(x86)/steam/fm20/data etc only got 2000, 2001 and 2010. Shouldn't it be 2020 now? Started new career and that says version 20.1.2, which file is it?
No longer says demo in my game so taught it must have updated or will I need to re-install?

Can anyone recommend something like this:
I'm with Sunderland 1st Season and I'm clearing out the whole squad in the summer, Got Lucas Romero as the Only one staying and I'm going to but a couple of young Italian defenders. So 3 Centre Backs would suit also and could lose the AM no problem

FM24: Manchester United - Same old problems?

To anyone managing Man Utd after 24.2 or the march update. You have absolutely no money, and you need a left back and a striker. I loaned out lindelof, mc tominey and martial for nice enough loan fees and got in larrios the lb from southampton who is a decent sub for shaw and offered a huge optional future fee (around 130 million) for moukoko from dortmund to get him on a cheaper loan deal.
Saved up about 25 million by selling clauses around oct/nov, especially Garner at everton who goes over 7 million euro by nov (cash in then, it doesn't get better).
Won the domestic treble but lost the CL final because I couldn't score, strikers had a nightmare. Was then told we would fail the FFP rules but that was wrong so when the sponsorship comes in your sorted. Got 65 million to spend after qualifying for the CL. Enjoy your save.
