Sorry about the dumb question, but how do you watch a match that already happened? Like not only the highlights but the whole match. I only get the option to see by highlights.

Having played this way for some time would you recommended it to someone who struggles with the tactics part of the game ? Speaking for myself, I feel that sometimes I get "blinded" by the attributes when analysing some of the behaviours of the players, maybe if only had some vague idea of the strong/weak points (like in those in Scout Reports) I would be more undertsanding. Yeah, I'm guilty of this too. I get too bored and/or demotived when something I had in mind doesnt work.

Glad these are back, sign me up.

What @summatsupeer says its true, and one of my biggest pet peeves with this game. Syaing this, you may want to look a the PI "stay wider" for your CM's, dont know if it is available in the AP role but it's worth a shot.

@herne79 I noticed you are using the roam PI in a lot of your players. Is that to compensate the lack of the Roam from Position TI that was removed since that was one of the instructions recommended for a possession style in Cleon's post ?

Thanks

Hey, is there a way to know the average training rating of a player and/or team ?

@Cleon How are you finding the inverted winbacks ? Do they actually come inside or just function like a regular fullback ? I ask this because the game description says they might not work if you use 2 DMs but maybe since yours are halfbacks they leave enough space ? Cheers

Probably when FM19 comes out, it is certanly something I am interested in

@OJ403 Unfortunately I had some disk problems and ended up losing the save...

Match Analysis Lets jump to the second game and do some more analysis. Game 2 Our second match was against Düsseldorf, another mid table team that we should be able to beat. Stats Very poor game from both sides, both teams only creating danger from long shots and nothing else. Player Stats Once again my the number of completed crosses of my WB's is shocking ( 0% !), again its probably down to the lack of players in the box as we saw last game. Pitch The next 3 images show what I suspected, the problem of not enough players in the box seem a real problem. Adding to this it seems that midlefield being too crowded is also a serious issue that needs to be fixed ASAP. The only new thing I spotted this game was the DMC sometimes being too advanced for my liking. Maybe give it the PI to Hold Position but I am more inclined to change his role to a DLP(s), Well this is all for Game 2, I think I will skip game 3 and show the changes I made and if they worked or not.

No worries man, the fun part of this is to bounce ideas and hopefully become better at the game. To be honest I didnt see much of England but I agree they lined in some sort of 3-4-2-1 wich is very similar to a 3-6-1

@Robson 07 I agree with you that the diamond its excelent for dominating the midlefield but regarding to pressing I would say it has some weaknesses especially in the wide areas as you can't press efficiently the fullbacks / wingbacks of your opponent. For heavy pressing I prefer some kind of variant of the 4-3-3 (4-5-1, 4-1-4-1, etc) or a 4-2-3-1. Saying that, in the future I intend to move to a more pressing style and for that I will definitely use fluid / very fluid. For now I am happy if the team defends in a kind of a medium block.
