there's really only 3 positions in soccer:

defender, midfield, and forward

everything else:
>false 9
>winger
>fullback
>sweeper
>attacking midfielder

these are all memes. so are formations. soccer is a very fluid game on the pitch and none of this matters once the whistle blows

prove me wrong. spoiler: you can't

Where were you when a ragtag group of broke Argentinians landed in Ecuador, tore ass through the streets on a team bus, showed up with no kit and went and qualified for the copa libertadores?

>>74132439
Heaping amounts of this. I don't understand what a "football manager" does beside pace up and down the sideline while wearing a pricey suit and a gaudy watch. Compare that to an actual NFL coaching staff where you have a chain of command, starting with the head coach and his coordinators, all the way down to the kid who gets the juicy fruit gum. Despite what Euros will say, it's a lot more logistically impressive than whatever you have in soccer.

It could be meme in lower leagues, but in top ones it's very precise. You don't train players with special sequences to just let them run in anarchy during the week-end.

>>74132439
Autistic Frenchie is 100% correct here. A target man and a poacher are both positionally forward/striker. However they don't play that position in the same manner. An Advanced Playmaker and an Anchor Man are both positionally midfielders, but their play looks nothing alike.

Also, even with your stupidly limiting mindset, I would argue that there are five true positions: Defender, Midfielder, Forward, Winger, and Keeper.

m8s is there any way to fix this shit? Most obvious ofcourse would be change the false nine into a target man but I can only do that next transfer period.

Do false nine's only work with inside forwards? its pretty annoying since i have no real strikers.

Should I change the cm(d) to a box to box next transfer period too?

>>74134468
maybe it works better like this for now.
But i'm keeping the wingers since im going to buy target men next transfer period.

>>74134474
>using a target man
>ever

>>74134478
it works great mate. maybe not for you because you use your fancy inside forwards

>>74134482
I'd rather use a strikerless formation or use an AF or CF than ever use a target man. The game makes your team hoof it up to your Target Man and lose possession way too often, it's a shit role in ME.

>>74134468
Wait what do you want to fix? What's your issue?
What are you aiming to do with your tactics?

>>74134493
In the ME**

>>74134498
The main thing is that the false nine doesn't work at all like this. maybe I should change it into a deeplying attack, but I never used that one before.

>>74134534
When you say it doesn't works, you mean he doesn't score? Or he doesn't receive the ball?

At first why did you set up your ST as a F9?

(All those questions are not bad intended, I hope we can figure something)

>>74134534
i should elaborate a bit: the false nine gets the ball, runs 10 meters then loses possesion.

>>74134556

I suppose there's no one in front of him to pass the ball? So he either shoot from far or impaled himself in an opponent.

>>74134554
I don't really have real strikers, just a bunch of false nines and one devensive forward. I dindn't buy them because i had 2 central midfielders total so I had to buy some of those first.

>>74134560
So if I put the wingers on attack and with stay forward maybe he will be able to pass to them

>>74134556

--- F9 ---
SS -- SS

>meeting in 3 hours
>not idea what it's about

Maaaybe... it's about FM?

>>74134568
I'm watching full match sped up now but I should put him on some kind of setting that he passes quiker after the match is over.

>>74134562
Ok so those are "best suited" roles acoording to your staff, it doesn't mean the player will be inefficient if put on other role.

>>74134568
Hum, not sure about it, the stay forward would made them staying higher on the pitch when you're not in possession, it's useful with a direct passing if you want to attempt long range pass on the side.


The main issue with combining a lone ST as F9 with Wingers is that it's pretty unproductive, as your wingers have to cross early to reeach the ST, who will then go straight on opponent, here you miss the point of using wingers.

But there's several options.
You can try Look for overlap, it will allows your fullback to come higher on the field and your wingers to play narrower, restraining space in front of goal.

If you want to get rid of the F9, I would rather suggest an AF as you have wingers, you will have a prime target for their crosses. P could work too obviously.
If you keep want to use your ST in animation/creation, CF can work too but care as it needs good player and it also can be unproductive in terms of goals.

DF and TM would only be useful if you have a player who can be another threat in goal scoring.

>>74134605
Thanks. I will do the overlap. I'm eying some player now who is good in both AF and in TM and he's cheap too so I'm probably going to buy him as replacement.

>>74134605
Also you have to set your wingers instructions and mentality right.

Same for your team mentality, that's why I asked you what was your objective with this tactic, or if you prefer why did you create this one rather than something else (there's no bad answer here as everyone got his philosphy of playing). Just keep in mind that you have to focus on few points to create a strategy

>Do I care about possession
>Do I want to score a lot or do I prefer not conceding
>Is my team a top team on the league or a low team

You will not play the same facing strong opponent or weaker, and a tactic can become inefficient against some.

>>74134568
>>74134562
Another case of "Should have read the OP".
>http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/375632-Pairs-amp-Combinations-The-Complete-Series
Simply: a False 9/supportive striker role goes hand in hand with either another attacking striker role or a "False 10" role. Namely, Raumdeuter, Inside Forwards (Attack), Shadow Strikers. Your False 9 needs someone to pass the ball to. And obviously, it's not because his favourite role is False 9/Defensive Forward that you have to play him as such.

>>74134628
Rather than buying just try your actual F9 as an AF, if he sucks this hard look in your squad (even younger) if you can find a decent ST.

And obviously listen to my fellow compatriote >>74134642

I was going to sell him in the summer window but i asked here and people said "20 DET don't sell!! He will be worth 5 times more in a few years"

He's playing pretty good desu but if he doesn't have a higher potential in inclined to sell.

A lot of the downvote spam is from chinese pissed they didn't get a translation

Then it's people annoyed at wide players becoming useless defensively.

One of the FM's made a big improvement in the new tactics, I can't remember if it was 16 or 15. If it was 16 that did make that improvement then 17 will feel different enough to be worth it.

How does physical condition influence the player in a match? Without a doubt, he's more likely to get injuried but what about anythink else? Does it lower his stats? Or does it lower only his physical stats?
Check my qt striker tho

>>74137546
Thats a big forehead.

>>74137546
for someone with such a huge head he is very weak mentally

>>74137546
I'm pretty sure they've solved it now or at least lessened the effects but I had a tinker with condition back on 14 and found players performed substantially better if they started the game with 100% even if the difference was literally 99% vs 100%.
So I'd imagine they won't play as well as they could and the lower the condition is the worse their performance will be.

>>74137451

That's some street football shit.

Is having half a star game speed okay? Or is it frustratingly slow?

Really up to you. I wouldn't reccomend it, but if you have lot of patience it's fine.

>>74137943
Can't I just start with lots of leagues then remove them after a season?

>>74138034
Yes. You can also add leagues.

>>74137936
If you're on 17 I find the game speed stars aren't very reliable now but in a good way in that its usually much faster than it says. Which is probably due to proper 64bit processing.
If 16 or earlier then yeah you're probably fucked.

I know I can, I was just wondering if it would increase game speed. Cheers lads>>74138046

>>74138046
>64 bit processing

>>74138137
It does handle more leagues better but probably not by much, it really shows its worth later in a save imo when it hardly slows down at all after 30+ years compared to previous editions where you can end up crawling along.

No, keep the combo, I meant that if you have no creative outlet at all it might be a problem, but if you have an AP it should be good.

If the AF can play TM(a) that'd be a good change, but if he can't, eh, AF should work.

It can happen, but your coaches can also have shit in their eyes too. Another way of saying it is that they don't believe the player can improve at your club, even if he is still young, has leftover PA and a good personality. Some players just don't develop too, I had that happen to me and I couldn't figure why he wouldn't develop more. He just didn't.
