I got:

-Harry Kane gets in behind all 3 of my CBs for a beauty on the counter. GK rushed out for no reason and made it a lot easier for him.

-Penalty given away for a foul on Lacazette when he was on his weaker foot, my CB had inside position, and he had no support

-My SS takes the ball from De Vrij in the box but shoots instantly for some reason and shanks it 5m right

-Corner goes to Alderweireld who then heads it across the box over to Kane. My GK rushed out for no reason so he had an empty net to head the ball into

I don't expect to beat Spurs because they're still way better than my squad but shit like that still annoys me.

Starting to get my head around training more than one tactic. I haven't been able to figure out enough about tactic-making to make my own, guides are mostly useless and just make it seem overly complex. I just plucked a tactic off fm base that seemed to fit the roles my players were familiar with.

What Im wondering is do you guys normally run two or more tactics that use players in mostly the same roles, just with different instructions? Or do you get players that can do multiple roles or just have players that you can use in only one tactic? Im not sure what the most efficient way is.
>>
>>74114672
generally:
>fairly complex tactic that specific good players fit well into
>defensive tactic for matches where i deserve to get shit on but would prefer not to
>general/malleable tactic to be used when injuries inflame the entire first team

it's up to preference and you can certainly get by just training one tactic and changing it when you need to, though
>>
>>74114672

The first one.

I generally have a home and an away tactic. Both are adapted depending upon the quality of the opponents.

>>
>>74114672
My approach is always the following when I start playing a new FM iteration:

First, I pick the most sensible formation given the squad that my team has, with as few starting instructions as possible. At the beginning, I only have one formation - this makes learning the formation much faster (and maxing out my main tactics is very important to me). I try to make these tactics work, based on what I'm seeing in the 2D matches.

I only do minor changes in the first half of the season, like moderately alter width or back line, and I try out different roles to see what I like in which positions. After the first half of the season is over, I try to improve what I have or completely revamp it if it has been a shitshow or if I realized that the match engine favors certain things (wingbacks in FM15, crosses in FM16, etc). For that, I try to use all the analysis tools that the game offers (I try to find patterns and systematic weaknesses etc and try to adress them).

And once I max out this improved version of my tactics, I do two other tactics. One is usually a good park the bus tactic against teams that will BTFO me otherwise, and the other is either a tactical variety that my squad allows me to play, or just a more aggressive/attacking version of my main tactic for when I'm chasing goals.


tl;dr: only do one main tactic until you optimise it and max it out, after that just do two tactics for outlier opponents (since your main tactic should be balanced for your general team level)

I have a pretty good understanding of what each role does, but I'm unsure of how those roles should work together or how instructions and structures should work with those roles, or how to choose a formation. I tried googling some guides, but they mostly explain WHAT everything is without discussing how they should all work together.

Are there any simpler guides that detail how all this stuff is supposed to work in concert with one another?

I tried, but I don't like WBs with my 3-4-3 Diamond.
>>
>>74120498
I've had the most success going 3-4-3 strikerless. I give up hardly any CCCs (played Barca and RM back to back without giving up a single one as Bilbao in season 1). It's ugly as sin to watch and it looks like a clusterfuck playing so narrow, but the AI has difficulty tracking all of the the midfielders and IWBs.
>>
>>74120530
Flat 4 I suppose, à la Poop?
>>
>>74120537
Nah, I use IWBs with a BWM(S) and a DLP(D) at CM. For for the AMs I have an AM(S) in the middle with a SS on either side.
>>
>>74120553
Well that's a flat four to me, but that's semantics. So something like this I suppose. I despise BWMs so I've put a BBM.
>>
>>74120583
Ah ok yeah I wasn't sure if you were going to consider that flat or not. I use BPDs at the back since I'm Bilbao and have Laporte and San Jose but that's the formation.

The IWBs + 3 at the back is really broken right now.

I wanted to pick up some of my best XI that left me when the were out of contract in the past. The CB I wanted went up a division, got relegated back to mine and then finished 17th. Won't rejoin me because he wants to play in the higher division.

Then the two AM I wanted back retired at 28 and 22. Is this normal shit?

This is my first FM and I'm really struggling to strengthen my team and in 5 consecutive seasons I've missed the playoffs. The first two on goal difference, the next two by 1 point and this one by 3 points. I hit smashed my last 8 or so games if this season to drop from 1 point behind 1st to out of the playoffs.

Am I doing myself a disservice by not loading every league to buy from, or will that not help a National League North side/will it slow my game down too much or whatever?
>>
>>74121145
players in low leagues often retire young, guess it's the same as irl for players that don't have enough potential to earn a decent living

just load in at least the british isles for vanarama north mate, try to get as many decent loan players as you can, as well as free agents - make sure you're scouting as many players as you possibly can with expired contracts so you can grab them on frees

you will have to get used to the idea of losing players every year due to contracts expiring and them demanding more money or wanting higher quality football, that's just the way of LLM

managing in the conference can be quite unforgiving because sometimes there's 5 points between playoffs and bottom half but keep trying and you'll get there eventually
>>
>>74121145
If they can't get a contract they like in a reasonable time frame, they'll retire.
>>
>>74121217
>>74121230
Cheers guys, I'll make a new save with a local leagues.

Players go from £700 a week to wanting £1.3k a week when my budget is 10k. So yeah I'm guessing he threw a tantrum and retired. I'm better at negotiating contacts now and have a better idea as to what I need to do.

I still struggle with tactics though. My first season I had the leagues fastest ever goal followed by the club's longest ever unbeaten run. It was all downhill from there. I pick up so many draws when they should be wins.

If you're 2-0 up at half time should you swap to 5atb? I had some luck playing that first about 10 games then we just stopped scoring.

My best luck has been with 4321 or 4312 attacking.
>>
>>74121436
if you're winning convincingly at half time... why would you change tactic?

1-0 up at 80 minutes maybe bring on an extra DM or CB but you shouldn't shut up shop completely at half time just because you're 2-0 up

a basic 4-4-2 on counter, with more direct passing and the fastest wingers you can find works nicely in the lower leagues

good physicals are very important in the lower leagues so try to prioritise that when signing people
>>
>>74121604
If I'm 2-0 or even 3-0 up at half time I always end up choking. I assumed that was a common thing to be honest. Maybe I just need to sub my CBs to stop the break a ways then.

Thanks, I'll try the basic 442.
>>
>board setting all their decisions one month into the transfer window

>>74121436
other things i learnt in LLM:

lower tempo is brilliant

work ball into box is brilliant (your players are too shit for long shots anyway)
>>
>>74121646
yeah definitely sub your centrebacks off, tired defenders will get shit on by fresh legs if you're not careful

consider telling your team to sit slightly deeper if you're having problems with your CBs getting outpaced by strikers

remember physical attributes are key so if you can get in a pair of centre backs with like 14 accel/pace you will do very well in the lower leagues

>>
>>74121882

ML/Rs are faggotry. Run AMs.
>>
Just realized I still had transfer updates on. Here's a different tactic with the vanilla squad.
>>
>>74122012

With a 4-2-3-1, I'd set wingers to attack instead of support and run an AP instead of DLP if possible.
>>
>>74122040
The DLP(D) is the most important role to hold a 4-2-3-1 together IMO.
>>
>>74122040
Is there any reason I shouldn't set the Wingers to Inside Forwards on support?

Also why should or shouldn't I set my Fullbacks to Attack vs Support?
>>
>>74122062
Alternate thought: Wingers set to attack, but set my striker to False nine. I figure then he's supporting three attacking players, and is getting balls fed to him from the BtB and two attacking fullbacks bombing up the sides.

I've learnt from my mistakes over the years

Who /supportingtheirlocalnonleagueside/ here?
>>
>>74122051
I'll admit I've never seriously tried a 4-2-3-1 so my knowledge is lacking, but don't you want the playmaker up when the rest of the team is that close together? Or is it the AM who's supposed to keep the ball while the DLP links the two halves together?

>>74122062
If it's inside forwards, go ahead and put them on support. And if you're going with inside forwards, then I'd set fullbacks to attack.
>>
>>74122094
You need at least one midfielder to shield the defense and to be an outlet to recycle possession. DLP(D) is the only role from CM that does this well while making useful contributions on offense.

>>74122094
And if you're using IFs make sure to turn look for overlap on.
>>
>>74122094
In fm you need the cm roles to be defensive distributors

An irl 4231 is more like a HalfBack and a RPM at CM but that doesn't work well
>>
>>74122115
>>74122094
Made some changes. Any advice on what I should be doing with my Striker and my AMC? Also does that Box to Box work or should I give him another role?
>>
>>74122126
Add some instructions.

The dumbest myth I see float around the FM community is that you need less instructions for LLM saves. The players receive a fixed list of team instructions, by not selecting anything you're just choosing to leave everything in the middle. Think of how to make your team more effective given the formation.I mentioned look for overlap already, you're going to be pushing up the pitch with a lot of bodies so you're going to want to close down more to recover possession and to stall counters, etc.
>>
Do I have to manually sign everyone to full time contracts after turning pro?
>>
>>74122185
Had a look and had a think about what the players will actually be doing on the pitch, this is what I came up with.
>>
>>74122232
Looking at your instructions I'd make your team shape fluid to try and encourage the front 4 to be a little more involved on defense and I'd use a lower tempo if you're retaining possession and working the ball into the box.

Now 12 years after leaving my old club. Looking up my former GOATS. This guy has 737 appearances for the club and is still decent at 36.
>>
My greatest goat ever just retired. I stopped managing in 2031/32. He had 2 decent seasons after that, then got inexplicably benched. Finished off his career as a Championship hired gun.
>>
Just left after 494 goals for the club in 772 games. Still starting for a premier league team at 35.
>>
This guy is still insanely good. Won a balloon door in 2040 and 3 times best player in Europe.
>>
Now at 1037 games for the club. That's about 20 years of starting almost every game. Doesn't seem to be picked anymore for England, so probably won't reach 200 caps. Also went bald and grew a moustache.
>>
Was supposed to be the goat left back, became a goat CM instead.
>>
Still quality right back at 34.
The managers that came after me used 3 centre backs and wingers, so this guy played as a 171cm CB for 5 years. That's also why this guy >>74123516 never fulfilled his destiny at left back. But he was a retrained CM to begin with.
>>
Former jack-of-all-trades guy, still playing at 39. Liverpool are in the Championship though.

Those are the seasons after I left. He was my favourite ever player and it deeply pained me to see him benched. A bunch of other players had better stats, but I've never had a AMC/CM so perfect for how I play.

Another player from my past club. This guy was too young and was just making a few bench appearances when I left. Didn't know he'd be this good. After he got sold, Everton immediately won the premier league. He just won the balloon door averaging an 8.13.
>>
>>74124061
Same deal with this guy, sold by Ebbsfleet in the same season. I signed him the year I left and don't remember playing him. QPR won the premier league the year after Everton, and they just won the champions league with this guy as best player of the CL. Also won best player in Europe, as a CB/RB.

Sup /trb/?

First time poster, been lurking for over a year now. I've started and ragequitted careers for 2 years now, the furthest I got was half a season, the shortest time I spent playing a save before deleting was pre-season. (Using FM 15)

I finally managed to get the hang of it, I'm playing FM Classic because I genuinely can't be fucked watching every single game including friendlies, Instant Result is a life saver. With that being said, how the FUCK do I stop myself from binge playing this? I went from never playing to spend all my off days on it for a minimum of 7-8 hours. What the fuck is it about this game that makes me love it so much? I finally understand you guys.

Anyways, a few questions:

1) Played almost 9 seasons now, found that I always play better when I set the team as Structured instead of Fluid, what exactly is the difference? If I change to fluid will my CB think he's a false nine?

2) I've got 4-5 star rated staff, my scout recommendations fluctuate heavily during the season. Why is it that a player with a potential rating of 4.5 stars suddenly drop to 3 during the season?

Thanks lads!

>>74126015
Could be a lot of reasons for the star ratings.

- Star rating is relative to your first team, so if your first team improves then star rating of youngsters can increase.

- Injuries, unhappy with training, bad mentality can cause the player to stop developing and star rating decreasing.

- In most screens you see the star rating given by the assistant manager, who maybe is shit at judging potential.
>>
>>74126308
>so if your first team improves then star rating of youngsters can increase.
*decrease
>>
>>74126015
1) it depends on how your tactic is. If you play a possession based game fluid would be better. The difference is that in Rigid the players stick to their positions and roles. If you change to fluid your CB will not think he is a F9 but he might think he is a BPD for a few moments.

How do you even find a backup keeper?

Most veterans don't accept backup roles and their wages are too high and having a youngster as backup fucks his development for not getting enough game time.

Anybody tried to replicate Bielsa's 3-3-3-1?
I never managed to get a successful tactic working - only tried with lower leagues though.
What I've got: higher tempo, closing down, fluid shape. I should be using a high D-line but as I've been using a libero I fear this would be a trainwreck idk
I've got a libero on support, 2 CB, inverted wingbacks, a DM/DLPM, 2 wingers, 1 enganche & a poacher.

It's all about that world knowledge % scout atributes are overrated.

Sounds like me even if I can't remember any of it. You still need good Determination when scouting wide areas to get more reports more often. It's actually pretty hard to find scouts with good Det.

>Sounds like me even if I can't remember any of it.
Yeah it was a long time ago but i started doing it recently.

Crazy how much you can raise your world knowledge % with just a handful of scouts from different continents.
>>
>>74129246
One you get around 50% it gets harder to find staff who are from the "right" countries (id est countries who have knowledge of multiple other nations). At that point, target ex-players: they may have good knowledge of certain shitholes due to being journeymen or/and having friends and overall favourite personnel who are from shitholes or have played/managed/worked there. But generally at that point your club is good enough to recruit good scouts anyway.
>>
>>74129273
>id est countries who have knowledge of multiple other nation

What specific countries have you found to have the staff with the widest knowledge?
>>
>>74129342
Germany has Poland and Austria. Russia has a bucket load of ex-USSR countries. Japan has S. Korea and Brazil. Scottish/Irish players tend to know about other UK countries. Argentina has Paraguay and Uruguay IIRC. North African countries tend to have Western African knowledge. Netherlands has Australia. Sweden has good knowledge of almost every Scandinavian countries. Serbia knows about one or two (or three) ex-Yugo countries.

My players constantly chuck the ball to the opposition. Is there a way to fix this?

Also, what's database size really related to? If I choose just one or two leagues but a large database, does this let me scout and buy players from any league?
>>
>>74129433
>>74129417
You could also wonder why French staff have no knowledge whatsoever of Martinique, Guadeloupe and the likes even though they are French territories (even if there's nothing there), or why Netherlands has no knowledge of Suriname despite the bucketloads of NT players who come/came from Surniame, etc.

Depends how and where. First you need to check the technical ability of your players and their mentals (like Decisions and Teamwork). Check their traits/PPMs. Then "It's your tactics"â„¢ and you gotta post them.

The way morale works is fucking weird

Just tested it on a match, with morale jacked up to max it was an even game with both teams having almost identical shots and chances

Put down to Okay and the team I was in charge of had a fifth of the shots the other team had.

I get morale affecting how well players play but it seems insane how much of a difference it makes even when just dropped to the median setting

No La Liga trophy for me. Fucking Suarez.
>>
>>74132157
For OPTA, possession is heavily linked to passing, and the number of passes you make. For FM, AFAIK, possession is usually the time you spend on the ball. Even if you take forever to do a throw-in, even if it's a defender that dwells on the ball, etc. So possession in FM isn't an indicator of the quality of your passing game or lack thereof. It's just the raw time you spend with the ball.
>>
>>74132204
I generally just use shorter passing to accomplish this, I haven't been liking retain possession since FM15
>>
>>74132367
>>74132367

>>74129549
>>74129556
Sorry, I meant from throw ins. I was very tired when I posted that. I've asked them to take short throws, work ball into box, play out of defence mixed passing. The always go for the wrong man who isn't even remotely open.
