My quest to acquire every single player in Senegal is going well
>>
>>74390926
Senegal barely ever produces good regens tho
>>
>>74390953
They produce some pretty amazing cheap regens. At least for Africa's standards. I've sold 4-5 to top-tier European clubs too
>>
>>74391228
Ivory Coast, Ghana, South Africa, Algeria, Nigeria, and DR Congo produce a lot of good ones too (I'd rate all those countries ahead of Senegal), why are you only buying Senegalese regens?
>>
>>74391475
Senegal is consistently best. DR Congo and South Africa are expensive. I do use Nigeria and Ivory Coast from time to time. One of my foreign starters is Nigerian and the other is Ivorian. I've recently started taking guys from Algeria though because I found out they aren't as expensive as I expected.

Trust me Senegal is the best. I essentially bought out their entire U-20 team and every single one is quality enough to resell at a profit or start eventually

Yeah mate, from the boards stand point going up and then back down puts the club in the same position but all your players are now two years older, so you're probably in a worse position.
If they think a better manager can keep them up then you'll be sacked come January if your position is weak.

what team
>>
>>74394281
Man Utd, doing a challenge where I have to sell everyone who wasn't at the club under the age of 21, and then win everything using youth prospects. Challenge is made easier by the fact that Pogba and de Gea are eligible under those rules, not sure if I could succeed otherwise. Luckily the youth team was chockablock full of GOATs at the start of the game so I'm alright for now, it's just annoying that none have come through since.
>>
>>74394319
shoulda picked a french or a german team for that challenge

>>74394319

wouldn't those have to be 200PA?
>>74394329
it's a doable challenge, someone posted having done so in the FM13 days
>>
>>74394329
Those leagues tend to be less competitive, so as soon as you start to do well it gets a bit too easy, or so I have found in the past. I'll do maybe 10 seasons with United, and then try with someone else.
>>
>>74394334
I don't know really - it seems like 3 star corresponds to low-tier Prem players, 4 star is good Prem players, and anything higher than that is GOAT. I have room for 5-6 3 star players in my squad as rotation options, but soon enough I'll need some more world-class players, especially if I'm aiming to win the CL consistently.
>>
>>74394334
I don't know if this counts but I've won everything with domestic and club-grown players with

-Sporting CP
-Empoli
-Stuttgart

It wouldn't be a massive stretch to extend that to not signing anybody, though it would be a bit down to luck to get a generation with enough star power to challenge the giants.

its always fun to promote and getting rid of all the deadwood saving the club's finances in the process

>>74399823
the obvious answer is lyn, in fm16 lyn is in the third and lowest playable tier in norwegian football, but dont let that fool you. They have a rich history as one of the premier teams in norway.

What happened was their owners spent over ability making the club's professional team go bankrupt. When the club got dissolved the team's fans started supporting their amateur team in the sixth tier, and this quickly became the reincarnation of Lyn.

After some years of success in the lower leagues the 2015 season that you would play in fm16 was a disaster in real life.

The first half of the season saw them with only one point, after sacking the manager they "won" the second half of the season only to end up going down on goal difference after winning their final game of the season 9-2.

Your goal would be to save the club and take lyn back to the premiership, which would restore the only true derby in the premiership.

They also have a good stadium that theyre renting for cheap, so you wont get ruined by stadium upgrades when you promote.

Makes me think of Balotelli. He was the best youth talent striker in FM editions from years ago.
>>
>>74400840
He is pretty decent, I have no idea why he had such high potential. Physically good and positioned himself well. He just never really made the leap, and it's not like he was an incredible talent at any point.

Mammana was always the real goat.

More Fluid does make your team more cohesive, however it raises creative freedom. Not the smartest idea when you need to sit and grind out a result. And obviously:

You want structured for defensive play, fluid means your dm is gonna roam around and play from the back

Depends how dominating you were and if you have your targets set.

What CM roles do you guys use when playing IWB's

I used CM(d) and BWM(d) and it created an average position flat 343 when in possession, with the IWB's pushing straight ahead to basically form a square when passing

And this was great for ball retention but not actually that effective for chance creation. Should I push one of the cms to attack more or be happy with the strong midfield?
>>
>>74418903
Depends what you have in front of them.
>>
>>74418917
Wingers and whatever will work for the striker

Right now the wingers are getting some balls but unless they're sat high and wide at the time all they can do is recycle the ball back to the IWB/CM

I recall doing the same to a 1st team player I was planning to let go at the end of the season. I did it at some other time with an old fag just before the winter window. I'm pretty much managing like Poop 2bh: I've got my philosophy, those I can mould into it are welcome, the others go into the trash.

Playing 3-5-2 strikerless sort of works around this. You have so many bodies in the midfield your team ends up blocking passing lanes (often by accident). Then if you funnel their wide players inside, you again have so many bodies in the middle of the pitch it makes it more difficult for the AI to find passes. A far cry from pressing passing lanes in real life but effective in game.

>>74418903
CM(A)----DLP(D)-----CM(A)

CM(A) still does the regular duties of a CM defensively, you're just a tad more vulnerable on the counter. The gains offensively are well worth it.

Quick update to my men Yiddie, Norbro and anon frog:

Defensive roles in midfield are cancer. If you want a player who defends well just play a role that doesn't skip out on defensive duties (like DLPs or CMs), if you want a dedicated defensive player play a BWMs, and if you want to have a player who doesn't go forward and holds position just play a DLPs.

You really need to watch a few full games to appreciate just how asscancer defensive duties in central midfield are. Defensive doesn't mean that they are defensive minded, try to position themselves in a way that the team can't be easily countered against, and that they are generally more timid/pick their moments, then you have to realize that that's only partly true.

What defensive actually means is that players on defense fundamentally do not give the slightest fuck about on the ball action. They can be right next to an area that they can move into to easily expose the opponent, there can be a troubled teammate who needs that midfielder to make a short run into an area so that he can receive a pass, but no. A midfielder with defensive duty will play as if the other team had the ball, even if your team has the ball. A regular BPD does more to help his teammates than a CMd or even a DLPd (unless of course the midfielder actually receives a pass, which is when they get their shit together a bit).

If you want a defense-first midfielder, the only solution is to play a good defensive mid, or to play a DLPs who will always be in the back to support the defense but will actually care about helping your team as well.

>>
>>74422457
There's very little functional difference between DLP(D) and (S). I like (D) a little bit more just because of spacing. I have 6 players who push high up the pitch and my back 3. Someone needs to be an outlet for back passes and to give the CBs a shorter option. DLP(D) sits just a bit deeper than (S) so for all of my tactics I prefer that.

>>74422556
It's an underappreciated role. On support duty, a BWM is a really decent attacker, he plays somewhat similar to a BBM, but with a twist - he can help your left winger help press the full back, even though the BWM plays as a right midfielder, for example. I'd definitely use one if I had enough men behind/next to him so that I can defend even when he's out of position.

If you play, say, a 4-1-3-2, having a BWMs sounds like an extremely good idea to me desu.

>>74422582
The off the ball behavior/movement/decision-making progress is huge. DLPs noticably reacts to what goes on around him when your team has the ball, DLPd simply does not in many cases. But yes, if you have shitloads of attack-minded players that leave your defense exposed, DLPd is the best CM role to help out your defense imo.

Seriously though, watch how DLPs plays compared do DLPd on full match. If you have 3 CBs, there's no reason in my opinion to have a dedicated DLPd.

Ok I'll bite
every coach and his dog recommends teaching fast DMs the "knocks ball past opponent" PPM
in dozens of saves I've just ignored it because it sounded like a stupid idea for a central, defensive player, and because backroom advice stuff is retarded about 80% of the time, but it pops up so much that maybe FM is trying to tell me something
anyone gone through with this?

>>74423875
the coaches are retarded

pacey fullback with 15 crossing? Better stay back at all times.
>>
>>74423875
Its one of those things that can work absolutely fine but it just depends how you want your midfield to set up, if you want your DM to get past the guy allowing the rest of your midfield to move up a bit and thus having more options in attack then its worth teaching. If you want your DM to just sit back and get rid of it to somebody else as soon as he is under any pressure then thats fine and you shouldn't bother teaching it.
Certainly not teaching it is more prudent defensively but you're not right or wrong to pick one or the other unless his attributes suggest he may have trouble beating his man in which case obviously that is not sensible.
