Top menu option in game/post game/half time you'll see 'Analysis', select the first sub menu option and it will display the heatmap (I have combined two screens there so it's not a standard view), you can then click 'Player Analysis' to dig into even further metrics and see specific player stats and movements.

My post was a joking one (and passive brag) after myself and crusaderstar were joking about only winning minor trophies with possession football. To really get into the analysis options Google - 'FM 2020 analysis tab' and you can watch some Youtube videos that dive into it.

Thanks for this. I was able to watch a video on YouTube about analysis on fm 2020.i came across this screen which was not to clear. I just want to ask how to get there

Just dropping this:

I'm using 2323 Wide shape as you can see. This is early in season 5 of my Barca save. I averaged 64% possession with 93% passing rate the last two seasons. Now using this shape and so far I'm getting even higher possession numbers with 2-3 clear cut scoring chances plus 2-3 half chances.

Thats pretty amazing! What are your roles and instructions?

This is my tactic. Pretty similar to what you have seen from me before. Only PIs are on the AP (stay wider) and the MEZ (take more risks). Here are some team stats after 7 league game in season 5:

Still maintaining that average 64 % possession with 93 % passing rate. 25 chances after 7 matches. My Team Cohesion, Dressing Room and Managerial Support are all on excellent. 

I'm having too much fun with this save and can't get back to my AC Milan one.

Sure - it's a little blurry but that looks like the prematch analysis you get from your scout (data analyst does one too, but has different info on it) for your upcoming opponent. It shows their likely formation/player roles, strengths/weaknesses and tactical style.

You need to go to your Scouting tab and create an assignment for one of your scouts to report on upcoming opponent.
