[can't create chances, not a lot of highlights even]

tried it for a few games and still can't really create much. main issue i think is the lack of players attacking the box in the final third with the DLF offering himself as a passing option instead of being a goal scoring threat. if i want to keep playing a DLF, im guessing playing a CM/a or Mez/a instead of a Mez/s is my only option for more penetration in the final third cause my winger is purely just a dribbly boy

If it is the lack of players attacking in the box, it could be several issues.

1. First of all you're playing on the counter, I'm not sure 433 really fits a counter attacking approach. You have few players in the attacking third, so it will take time before your players even reach the box. By turning on counter your players might move up the ball quicker up the pitch than your players can enter the box. You might want to try to switch your BWM to a box-to-box, and turn off counter. Moreover, you have higher tempo, maybe reduce this to standard or slow to give players the time to run into to attacking third.

2. There seems to be a lack of synergy on the left. You have a IF on attack and the only player close to him is the DLF. Here also switching the BWM to a box to box might offer more support to the IF. You could also try to switch the BWM with the CM-A, if you want to keep the BWM.

3. It is usually recommended to have 1 player on support and 1 on attack on the wings. This reduces the gap between them and gives more option for passing combinations.

What do you do when nothing works anymore? I think I am tactically quite adept, but nothing seems to work.

However, tinkering about all possible solutions whether playing defensively or attacking and ending up losing most games is frustrating. Especially when I have better players than last year, and also actually players that can play their roles well.

Anyone?

As far as I can see, I can only click continue, but cannot change tactics or make substitutes. Can someone please point out what I am missing here?

When you're watching a game can't you see the Tactics button? It's under the current score in a game.

Thank you furious!

Another question. My players keep attempting shots outside the box and using the work the ball into the box shout doesn't help. Player instructions don't help either.

What can I do about it?

Hey, quick question. When you have your AMC swapping position with your striker does the AMC take the instructions and role of the striker or only his striker position?

Thanks man! I had that problem too.
