Perhaps my novice familiarity with FM19's tactics and training is my issue. I'm in just my first season by the way. But I've played Football Manager since the 2012 version, if that matters. To be honest, my frustration with the gargantuan complexity of FM19 might be why I have 8 -- yes, I said EIGHT! -- of my starters injured, including the preseason injuries with Koscielny, Maitland-Niles, Kolasinac, and Lichtsteiner(?), then other injury-prone players that whine about a Medium-to-Light training workload when the (non-stop?) Fixture congestion between the EPL, two domestic cups, and Europa League is more suited for a 40-50 man Senior registered roster!!! Well, that might be a slight exaggeration. I'll address that when UEFA's Aleksander Čeferin and FA's Prince William return my calls. Anyway, enough of my whining, right? No matter what I try/coach or what I have tried to tell my self-aggrandizing Wing-backs or Full-backs who think they can cross with an Attribute of 12 or less, nor HOW MANY TIMES I tell them -- or select in any Tactics > In Possession, whether it's Very Attacking, Attacking, Positive, or Balanced, AND Individually tell them "CROSS LESS OFTEN DAMN IT!!!" -- they persist in bludgeoning their opponent/opposite!!!! I swear on my grandmother's BDSM dungeon, I think Bellerin, Monreal, and whomever else I must rotate in... they have to be freaky Sadists!!! Yes, I have already requested that my Wing-backs/Full-backs IMPROVE their crossing ability in the vague, General Technical Attacking Training Unit, but that takes more than 1-2 months for only an increase in Crossing of what(?), 1 or 2 points per 5-8 week intervals? Is it my novice knowledge of the hyper-complex FM19, or is there something else much more practical that can be done to STOP MY WING/FULL BACKS from pummeling non-stop their defensive opponent!? Please? Help? I must stop this 1937 radio-voice in my head constantly crying... Back to our programming here, can anyone suggest a solution to STOP my crappy WB's and FB's from their sadistic habits? Many thanks! -
Issues with FM19: Crosses blocked and go for corners majority of the time Strikers cannot score especially in 1v1s Please can someone let me know if the above are bugs? I’m halfway through my first season and seriously considering going back to FM17 (the last edition I bought). The match engine in FM19 just doesn’t work as well as it has before. Crosses are blocked the majority of the time, often going for corners, wingers/full backs seem to wait to be closed down before crossing - totally unrealistic. Playing as Arsenal, I have two superb strikers but they (and other players) miss SO many chances, I often have masses of shots on goal/target but they nearly always miss, and miss SO many 1v1s. In fact I think they’ve only scored 1! In contrast, the opposition have a reasonable number of shots and have a much higher conversion %. Is anyone else having these issues? Please can someone from SI answer these questions and whether an update will be released to fix the issues. They are seriously taking away from my enjoyment of the game and I love the series. Thanks

Has anyone got an effective corner tactic that they are using in their saves? Screenshots will be helpful! -
Into my 5th season with Young Boys and each season a reoccurring issue is that I’ve had the issue of not converting enough touches into goals (see the picture attached) - 195 touches and only 4 goals seems crazy! I play a 4-2-3-1 tika taka style where I dominate possession (see picture attached) Can anyone help in addressing this issue? I have changed training in the past in terms of adding in more chance creation and conversion but doesn’t seem to have that much effect Thanks!

Hi, for me the most annoying problem in current ME (apart from lack of movement in final third, which is AFAIK under review) is crossing. As i wrote in feedback thread: So there are no crosses from deep - every player goes to endline to cross and they mostly get blocked. That's one thing. Second thing is that wide players seem to wait for the opponent before attempting a cross. This is pretty weird. They don't take advantage of being unmarked, don't try to cross a little bit earlier, they go forward until a defender is near and than try to cross - same effect, the ball goes for a corner. Third problem is that even good winger or wingback, with pretty good dribbling attribute, with good acceleration etc., simply can't beat a defender in one-on-one situation near endline. Even when it looks like he ALMOST managed to beat him, he gets blocked. Very often, instead of running towards penalty area, they're going wider, then they're slowing their run, and then... blocked cross Generally speaking there are plenty of blocked crosses in each game (even in pretty easy situations - like counterattacks etc.). It's really frustrating, that when my player (but also AI players) have the ball on the wing and is preparing to run and cross, I can be almost sure, that it will end with corner kick. I'll upload few pkm's to illustrate the problem. All types of issues I wrote about above, can be found in these matches. 1. HSV - Dynamo Dresden 07:43 33:25 44:55 72:05 84:40 87:54 89:37 Most of these situations contain an attempt of running towards endline by a player who is FB/S and has got "cross from deep" PI (actually I haven't seen any attempt of cross from deep by any player). 2. Paderborn - HSV 11:55 21:59 63:42 67:44 Here you can see also these situations from my rival. 3. HSV - Regensburg 00:18 47:30 50:35 52:53 63:24 66:08 71:34 80:41 82:55 My team had 1 completed cross from 22 attempts :O There are also some blocked crosses from my rival. 4. FC Koln - HSV 21:52 57:07 61:25 69:36 84:31 3 completed crosses from 39 :O I'll be grateful if someone takes a look at this problem. I'm sure that there are many other users who experience same issue. Maybe they can also put some pkm's into this thread? 1.

Hello, people! I have posted before asking for advices on how to replicate 17/18 Hoffenheim in FM 18. You guys helped me A LOT and, after testing and tweaks, I created this: I've tried to not only recreate Nagelsmann's playing style, but also to adapt it to the italian way because, well... I am managing in Italy, so I focused in some main characteristics: - A pacient building focused in my DC and my DM, these two then choose if we remain pacient or if we try to be more direct; - Something similar to Hoffenheim's vertical positional play: when attacking, my WBs turn in attackers, acting almost in the same line as my Strikers, stretching the field, but still forming a back 5 when defending. Against weaker or bus parked sides, I use another tactic with my CMs as AMs and make six near the box; I am almost where I wanted to be with this tactic, but still feel we have too many crosses with too little effectiveness. Look at these examples: I think we are creating chances, making overloads and changing side quickly, shooting well, behaving very good defensively (althoug some times my WBs run like crazy to the middle of the pitch chasing a player, and I don't know why because I'm not telling my players to man mark), but we are crossing A LOT! And only having a tiny % of headers from them (even with Dzeko and very good crossers!). Contextualizing: I've started with CWBs support to have the effect of attacking with four players, but identfied two problems: we was crossing too much and when one CWB was getting to the byline, the other was not touching the box as much as I needed to also receive crossings or getting rebounds, and this way we have less people there than we should. So I changed to WB support with the "sit narrower" PI and got what I needed without loosing width. But in the support role they aren't as aggressive as I needed and not formed the front 4 line that I wanted. So I tweaked my WBs to attack and it finnaly worked as I wanted! I knew we would ending up having much more crosses with this configuration and was ok with that, because Dzeko (and Schick as backup). But I think 45, 61 is TOO MUCH! I'm also not happy with 35, yet could live with, but the other stats are frustrating me! And I didn't was capable of lowering these numbers. Tried to lower mentality and not saw any changes in crossing, so I'm starting to talk that this is a problem with the roles of my CMs and STs. Am I in the right way? What can I do in my case? (Sorry for my english)
