Best PPM is shoots with power and it's not even close.
Best combination of PPMs is cuts inside + shoots with power.

>>76909815
making late subs in cup finals is a pretty sensible thing to do tBh. What if you go to extra time and you have no subs left? What if there is an injury? Plus it's always nice to have someone to sub in to waste time in the last minutes.

agreed actually, shoots with power is the only PPM with a huge influence. the others are nice to have and improve your player a little but it doesnt make much of a difference

>>76909879
Really? I thought that was something you give to a target man with no technique or composure and cross your fingers he shoots on target
>>
>>76909919
It doesn't make the shots more likely to miss from my experience, it just makes the GK that much more likely to not even react. Places his shots is the absolute meme PPM, it ruins your players shots because he'll take extremely slow curveball shots that are always placed directly at the GK

So, guys, bear with me, I'm going to redpill y'all.

What if """"we"""" memed Cristiano Ronaldo into existence? Lemme explain.

In CM 01/02 there was a flawed database that wasn't double checked. Some portuguese fag put on the game a uber player named Tó Madeira that would always become World Class, at the same time, this Kid named Cristianinho, from Funchal, Ilha da MADEIRa, was blowing up at Sporting, becoming one of the youngest to ever play for their main side. Two years later he would sign for Fergie, and the rest is history.

Meme magic is real lads.

Allright lads, lets talk about our saves for a bit.

I'm playing as FK Sindjelic Beograd, named after Serbian revolutionary Stevan Sinđelić who bravely fought the kebab.

The team was not on the map of Belgrade soccer before they appointed a young new ambitious manger. With a new system they swept the first league before dominating the superleague four years in a row, upending the duopoly of Partizan and Red Star.

The team, while professional, was only interesting ot the local fans and had only a few hundred show up at their matches, part of it could be blamed on their stadium, Stadion FK Sindjelic which was built in 1937 when the team was founded. But surely, the lack of any success contributed.

But as it happens, when your team achieves success in Europe, fans will start to care.

In the 18/19 season, Sindjelic borrowed city rivals Partizan's team and got huge crowds for their matches. Notable bouts include the 1-1 draw against Porto in the europa league group stage. And 3-0 win over Partizan in the super cup.

In the beginning, the team played 4-3-3 with three central attackers, but with the acquisition of local talent Igor Maksimovic, he would occupy a more central role, sitting deeper being the attack. Leading the team to adopt the 4-3-1-2 narrow formation they have made famous today.

Their philosophy involves building up attacks from the back, with fullbacks providing depth to the otherwise narrow formation. They very rarely deviate from this posession focused approach.

With the massive influx of funds from european success Sindjelic has opted to reinvest large sums of money into their infrastructure, both focusing on their youth recruitment, and training facilities which are currently being renovated.

But new for the 21/22 season is the Sindjelic stadium. A 15000 seater stadium built to accomodate the ever increasing demand for tickets. A big improvement of the almost 100 year old stadium they inhabitated until this which only housed 4700 people.

Let's meet some of the players.

First, the first choice keeper for Sindjelic is only 20 years old. Slavko Andrejic has spent his entire career at the club, and developed to become one of the best keepers in the league at a young age.

Now the only question is when he will make his national team debut.

Probably the best native serb on the team, the captain Poletanovic was named 2021 superleague player of the year. He arrived from Gent on a free transfer and have since played almost every mach he has been available for.

A rock in the midfield, Poletanovic stands with 25 assists, and have been instrumental in Sindjelic's success bost domestically, and abroad.

In a club where the majority of the first team is below 21, there is bound to be an abundance of talent. But one of the biggest, only partly because he is named after a country, is Hector Marroco.

Arrived for a record breaking £4.2 million the Uruguayan right back allready has seven caps at the tender age of 20.

The young man did not take long to establish himself in belgrade, in four champions league matches he scored twice and recorded three assists.

Has a disproportionate effect on long range shooting proficiency, even for very average shooters. It turns them into threats from distance. Nevermind FK takers: Pjanic might as well suck a dick, even with his superior Technique at range and on FKs, Payet will score more just because of this PPM.

Also, for whatever stupid reason, I found that keepers have an absurd struggle at behaving correctly on placed shots. I've had >wengers strike it directly at their feet and scoring anyway, with the commentary going on about how they love to place their shots or some bullshit like this. Meanwhile, this guy doesn't score any more or less with the PPM. Well with his Finishing this PPM doesn't matter at all anyway.

Arguably the biggest star in the club is Peruvian Julio Valdivia.

There probably hasn't been a european top club Valdivia hasn't been linked with, but recently he signed a 4.5 year contract, reaffirming his commitment towards the club. Making him the highest earner in the club.

The second key player in the three man midfield, Valdavia has dominated for several years and was voted the 2020 supporters' player of the year.

With 17 caps at 20, and teams like Barcelona and PSG rumoured to be interested, a bright future is thought to be ahead of the lad.

It depends what angles your attacking player is going to have. If he's a Poacher, if he likes to beat the offside trap and often happens to be in 1vs1 situations with the GK, and considering the GK AI (even if it indeed was improved in FM17), if he has good Finishing and Composure just blast it past the keeper: if he has huge angles he's unlikely to miss. If he has terrible Finishing but excellent Dribbling abilities, teach him "Likes To Round Keeper" and pray for Heaven and Hell that it happens to work sometime. Actually don't bother, just fucking sell him, he's a waste of oxygen.

The matter is different for Inside Forwards. If they have tepid Finishing or/and Long Shots, kill them, they're not worth it. Else, Curls Ball can work and is actually one of the two PPMs Robben knows (with Avoids Using Weaker Foot, unsurprisingly enough). I don't find that Curls Ball has much of an effect on short shots however, even if it would somewhat make sense... but SI quality.

For some reason GKs are retarded at reacting at Places Shots. I have no idea why, but it's still not that good of a PPM if he's not going to be inside the box often enough because GKs should have all the time on Earth to react to it, and it's of no benefice to strikers because their Finishing attribute is going to matter much more. And after trying it, Places Shot DOES NOT compensate for terrible Finishing. Don't even try, it doesn't work. Shit Finishing is shit, no matter what you do; there's only "Looks For Pass Instead Of Attempting To Score" for this guys or the transfer list.

And when I talk about the GK AI, it means that they're unlikely to Neuer through balls away unless they have huge Rushing Out tendency and/or huge Eccentricity, and they're a dime in a million. You can't teach a keeper to sweep; either he can, or he fucking can't. Bonus: SI is aware of the FM16 and 17 bug that makes the Vision of GK lower with time. They didn't fix it. From 8 to 4 FFS.

Lads, give me some advice.
I switched schools for my Master's. In my previous uni, I had four exams each semester and I could choose for each subject if I want to take the exam at the early date (early August) or the late date (late September). I always did a 2 and 2 split, so I never had too many exams to prepare for at once - I prepared and took the first test, and then I had 7-10 days to prepare and take the other.

Now, I have to take 4-5 exams in ~2 weeks and I'm not really sure how to schedule my time. I have enough time (I'll need 28 days for the four subjects, and I even have 10 days to spare, I'm guessing that I'll need to work about 4 hours a day), but the exams come in quick succession. How the fuck am I supposed to do multiple subjects at once? Should I work towards all four exams, which means that I only do about an hour of shit per subject each day, or should I do it sequentially (only one subject per day)?

I'm thinking about doing two per day, switching every day. More subjects per day water the shit down too much, only doing 1h per subject fragments the shit so much that you probably can't see the bigger picture anymore. If I only do only one per day then I'll have 3 days of pause in between two sessions, which will probably make me forget some intricacies and the finer things that you don't immediately see.

Anyone in here with some experience in that regard? Embarassing to need to ask this as a soon to be 24-y/o desu lads

That's probably what I'd do in your situation.

If you want to go full autist you can start from your last exam and work backwards, e.g., on the last day my South American Youth Intake Dates exam is in the AM then I have Useful GK PPMs in the PM, so the day before I'll study intake dates in the afternoon/evening and PPMs in the morning, etc etc

Might be going a bit but you get the idea. You've got lots of time so you'll be fine m8 good luck

Backward induction? I like that idea, seems like the most sensible way to do it (while sticking to the 2 per day rule whenever possible).

Organizing this shit took way too long, in the past I just had to think about how many days I want to budget per subject and prepare for each exam in one go/in one block. This shit forces me to turn scheduling into a fucking art form, I wasted a good hour on this shit alone. Fucking stupid to force students into 4 exams in 2 weeks, my old uni was much better in that (and only that) regard.

Fuck me, literally everyone makes this joke when they hear that one of my subjects is called PIKA. It's "Prüfung internationaler Konzernabschlüsse", German for "Auditing of International Group Financial Statements".

It's the official abbreviation. And the subject is literally waste of my time, I already interned at PwC and had some group financial statement lectures so I already know everything. But I won't half-ass my preparation just because of that and put in the work anyway. The days with PIKA will probably be much shorter than the others though

You shouldn't be worried anymore. I mean yes, it would not be great, but think about the alternative - he could've gone this summer for almost no money after all the shit that happened, or could've left for free next year. Now you'll get another year out of him, and a shitload of cash because he'll still have 4 years on his contract next summer.

It was basically 99.999% certain that Donnarumma would not play for Milan anymore, and now its guaranteed that he'll play for at least another year and that Milan will make shitloads of money for him. That's such a great improvement over what was expected that I wouldnt worry anymore and just thank Donnarumma for having a change of heart

Don't worry matey it only happens in Segunda B and below.

uh I'm in Segunda B 2nd Phase 1st round

The league rules just said "qualifies for playoffs"
>>
>>76914474
>>76914430
Think I've found it now

So there's a winners playoff where the winners go up
Then the semi losers go into a playoff with everyone else

What happens to the team who loses the final?
>>
>>76914474
If you finish 1st in your group you face the winners of other groups, and if you lose you have a second chance in the playoffs against the other teams that qualified but didn't finish top of the group.
>>76914507
>What happens to the team who loses the final?
promotes too iirc
>>
>>76914518
Yeah that looks like it, 2 up from winners, 2 up from everyone else

This is kinda silly desu, the promoted Segunda B teams get practically no holiday.

>>76915738

If you want to have everything done in an optimized and efficient way, you need to do it yourself. If you're seriously new, just take over a good, but not too good club (If you choose RMA, PSG, Barca, you won't learn anything), and just start with tactics, squad management, and training. But once you get the hang of it, FM is actually not that difficult.

Thanks daddy Barca :3

He's twice as good as our next best defender lol

>>76924616
He's a fucking awful defender, he's a slow midget with bad defending stats. His only strengths are good mentlels (except for >3 Det) and being well-rounded. He's only useful as a DM, but can't even play the position.

What a fucking horrendous player.

Dude, this guy won't intercept jack shit. Not to mention the fact that he'll leak headed goals all the time. The fact that he's literally better at handling the ball than defending should give you a clue, really.
No disrespect but you should not make him your starting CB unless the other choices are really, really shit - my 4th division CBs are much better.

Nice card you've got there. I'd say that the 1060 6GB is in the sweet spot right now - cheapest card that can run all games on good looking settings.

I bought myself the 3GB version because I'm a cheap fuck and don't care about texture quality if it costs me money.

How much did you pay for that 2TB external drive? I've had to make do with my 500GB SSD for the longest time because my laptop only had one SATA slot (and one for the CD drive I suppose, but I didn't want to remove that) but nowadays I'm annoyed with constantly needing to move downloaded series to my external drive. I'm considering getting a cheapo HDD now that I've got a PC with shitloads of space for drives and I wonder what they cost

My third time getting regens, my first time getting a """"good"""" one. Too bad my club is amateur and cannot offer contracts/does not have the money anyway. Also, all my talented players develop at an absolute snail's pace, I only have one coach and my players just rot. I almost feel pissed for getting a "good" regen at this point in my save.

Then again, He can't even get 5* potential in a 5th division club, so he can't be that great anyway. I'll outgrow him in the next 2 years before he can even start playing for me.

Fuck. No matter how bad this game is, one thing it can do perfectly is to feed my autism with challenges.
So I'm browsing through chicanoland regens before draft. It's classic foogbowl manager shit. Despite lowered youth rating there's bunch of pacebabys and beasts of teamplaying. But then I see picrelated. African striker physicallity already and a bunch of potential. I take him on draft and open scout to see if it's worth wasting time on him.
>he is perfect imperfection
No finishing and movement to just surround him with playmaking and make him striker.
No reason to waste him on defback slot + SI will never balance them.
Not enough technical+mental attrs to be great midfielder.
Would be shitshow as defender/libero because his current mentals would lead to 20 extra goals off his mistakes.
So help me decide his faith lads. Maybe some of (You)s already did something like that and can save me from wasting time on ones that won't work:
>AMR/L with what role to use physicallity on max (WTM is ok but it's tough to make him run)
>roaming playmaker to be ever-present and not get exposed through things he can't do
>libero/DMwould be a waste of some of his physical gifts and CWB would be too easy
>something i don't see
I excluded striker surrounded by playmaking cause it's fucking boring and work with shit pacebabies all the time. Alternative of playing longballs over defence counter style is equally disgusting. Just doesn't feel right making him striker.

Apparently winning a medal in the Olympics grants you an exemption from the National Service.

>Kim Kee-hee’s brief appearance at the 2012 London Olympics could be one of the most lucrative five minutes in soccer history. Appearing just before the final whistle in South Korea’s 2-0 win over Japan in the bronze medal playoff ensured that the defender was granted, along with all teammates who played in the Games, exemption from the country’s military service, which is mandatory for able-bodied males.

That guy played for 5 minutes and was exempted.

Rooney has glitched on my game lads. Moved to DC United in 17/18, then had 2 seasons with 15+ goals and 7+ ratings. I signed him for 1 Mil as Milan for a laff and merchandise money. Now he is consistently getting better to the point where nearly all of his stats are 16+. He's gone from "Veteran" to "World Class" too so I imagine his CA is shooting up.
>>
>>76938552
maybe not shooting up but perhaps he's losing physicals faster than CA and thus the surplus CA goes into technicals and mentals

>>76938565
True, his physicals haven't increased but literally every other attribute is green arrowed. Very strange but I'm loving it.

My numbers usually depend of the main formation I'll use during the season, so yes if I use pic related there will be a AMC with the number 6. I do it notably because I have terrible memory with names, so it's easier for me to see who is the starter and who is the substitute with numbers alone. I usually comply with number preferences, especially if they fit the formation. Only the first team has given numbers, the rest of the squad will get random numbers; FM generally starts at 30 for this players if for some reason I play an amateur side and wish to send my useless kids against them.

My favourite number is 17, so when I use pic related it's not uncommon that my starting AMC will use 17 instead of 6.

Because defending players don't anticipate that there may be some attacking players at the far post or at the penalty spot when they track a player on the ball who's near the touch or the byline, allowing for easy tap-ins.
>>

thing is, for every country each win counts as (at most) 25% towards nation ranking, but Liechtenstein's coefficient is only affected by Vaduz - because they have only 1 team in Europe, each Vaduz's win gives them 1 point towards the rankings, while e.g. my win gives Poland only 0.25pts to the rankings

>>
>>76944037
>>76944051
I wonder whether UEFA would reset Liechtenstein's coefficient if they decided to field a league with Vaduz moving in. Imagine Vaduz having a pretty good run over 5 seasons - making to Europa League 3 times or so. Getting ~30 points over 5 seasons isn't completely unrealistic for Vaduz, and if a league was formed with Liechtenstein having 30 coefficient points it would probably be enough for the league to have automatic CL GS spot

Which begs the question to why they wouldn't just fully integrate the Swiss or German system, Monaco style. Same goes for San Marino (and they do have a club in the Italian system).

Reminds me when Andorra FC had a decent showing in the Spanish leagues... before Andorrans insisted that they needed a NT. The government took the money they used to pour into the FC in order for the NT to exist. Now both the NT and the FC are completely mediocre. What a waste.

>Backorders everywhere on Pentium G4560
Possibilities:
1) Intel realized it was too good compared to the i3s and they really need to clear these out;
2) They were taken aback by the demand;
3) Even miners need a CPU per rig, might as well buy one that has a good resale value.
4) Combination of any of the above.

In any case Intel are retarded since the Pentium G4560 is the only CPU they produce that's worth buying compared to the RYZEN outside of the 7700K if you really need the extra juice for games and can afford to delid because it's a fucking hoursefire.

Advanced Forward or Shadow striker?

Not a fan of strikerless but the role stops the striker from trying to dribble all the time
>>
>>76945596
Depends on what you want, really. Players prioritize killer passes to the AF, so he will get the ball more often in general. He'll also constantly drift to the wings based on his mood swings, and he'll like to dribble.

Shadow Striker is much more vertical and also much simpler. He just runs straight ahead into spaces and tries to be a poacher from deep, basically, trying to time his runs and trying to get behind the CBs. His starting/average position will be much deeper, of course, which can allow the opponent to push up higher and fuck your shit up by choking your attack all the time.
>>
>>76945216
Being the "overachiever" in 5 European competitions in a row sure helped.

Worst roles/positions of 2017?

>I rate Raumdeuters

>>76945874
Never used a DLF in my life so I guess I'll have to say those are the worst
>>
>>76945791
I don't really need him to cross in my tactics, but because I play fairly high on the pitch (else I'm pretty toothless), I need FBs and CBs who are somewhat good with the ball in their feet. Like this Aryan Realist (which means poor Sportsmanship). Must be the only good German junior Dirtmount and Buyern have missed. Usually when I get reports of Germany, they already have signed with either club or are going to.

>>76945846
Doesn't work with my tactic. I tried, nothing happens. Literally. I don't get any highlights at all until the end of the match.

>>76945874
Enganche. Too static. FFS, I keep repeating it, but both Recoba and Riquelme were competent dribblers.
>>
>>76945874
Libero probably. Or are they less shit than in 16?

The Japanese/German partnership.

>>76945919
Less shit, but still don't work in the ME because they spend their time getting forward and back depending of which team has the ball. it would work if you had literally 80+% possession.

>>76945932
>>76945944
Their passing and availablility is great, they also get into the box Off The Ball unlike APs (which is the role I hate the most in FM). But they just can't dribble, or even try to get themselves out of trouble when they have the ball... unlike Riquelme who was good specifically at this.

I didn't even know that it was 'meta', I just played the game and loved IWB this year.

>>76945874
kys cuck, Raumdeuters in front of inverse wingbacks is great. In general, Raumdeuter is the only worthwhile attacking duty for wingers this year, and the only acceptable choice next to IFs.

This years worst roles by far:

>enganche
he L I T E R A L L Y stays in the same exact spot the entire game and does not move. Why would you EVER want this cuckboy instead of a regular AP who will actually try to remain open? Enganche will literally always get a 5.9 or worse because they dont do anything at all and lose the ball.

>advanced playmakers
these buffoons suck cock. they're literally just a regular attacking mid/winger who hamstrings himself by subjecting themselves to the rule "must not enter the final third". absolutely useless role, why would you have a player so far up the pitch and then refuse to allow him to enter the box when the opportunity arises?

>wingers
god fucking damn theyre so fucking retarded. They run wide and try to beat 3 men to get a shitty cross in every damn time. No nuance, no decision-making process, no evaluation of the situation - they just run wide and hoof it. literally the Antonio Valencia role.

>target men
theyre the literal worst cancer in the game after enganches, except maybe in the shittiest leagues. if you want to use a target man, just buy a tall guy with good heading and play him as AF. having a target man will make your team hoof it 24/7 to this buffoon, and the role itself does not allow him to do ANYTHING useful with the ball. it wont even get him to head the ball towards goal a lot because he'll sit too deep compared to an AF.

>half back
this role has LITERALLY NEVER worked so far. they're supposed to play like a playmaking CB on the ball, but they simply never do. They don't actively drop deeper between the CBs, they merely wait for the CBs to push up enough.
>>
>>76946027
The only Raumdeuter I ever had work was Muller and well I kind of think it's more because Muller is a goat
>>
>>76945983
Welp. From my intake, I kept him initially only because he has a surname in common with a Cpt. Tsubasa character.

>>76946027
Because APs play like Özil. The only role I use in the AMC strata is Attacking Midfielder. The rest can eat a dick. I used to use a Treq in FM15, but I could've played that fucking Jhon Arango cheese as anything he would've performed anyway.

They killed Enganche and Regista this year by limiting their roaming, I had both working in meme formations last version.
Also Libero is the best it's ever been but you're still effectively sacrificing your offside line and/or 2 stopper/1 cover cb setup in exchange for a DLP.
For it to really work you need a fast as fuck technical midfielder who can also defend well otherwise they're never in position
>>
>>76946105
Funny, I dislike the Regista this year because he has "Roam From Position" stuck in. I'm sure I could ask him to Hold Position in FM15, which gave me a more creative DLP.
>>
>>76945910
>Doesn't work with my tactic. I tried, nothing happens. Literally. I don't get any highlights at all until the end of the match.

Okay, so the thing with the IWB is as follows: They're nothing special by themselves. They're not great by any means, they don't do anything special/noteworthy, but what they allow you to do is fantastic.

Think of an IWBs as you would of a DLPs. The roles are actually very similar in possession - the IWBs is perhaps more free in their way to play as they might sometimes go wide like a regular wingback would, but generally, the IWB plays like a playmaking holding midfielder. The thing is that unlike a DLPs, the IWBs are not really marked by the opponent for a long time before they eventually start to press the IWBs. You can think of IWBs as an improved DLPs who defends on the wings rather than in front of the CBs, that is pretty much the only difference.

This means that you can get away with playing crazy shit like 4-2-4 and not lacking numbers in midfield. Alternatively, you can play a regular formation but go super attacking in the role choice - since you already have two holding midfielders who have playmaking capabilities and are not afraid to create, you can allow your midfielders to take attacking duties like CMa, and wreak havoc by simply overloading the attack. What IWBs can allow you to do is to have a very strong core of ~3 midfielders and, at the same time, 4-5 attackers who attack the back line in different ways. if your players are capable of doing one-touch passes and the like, you WILL fuck your opponents shit up because you'll constantly overload certain areas of the pitch and exploit holes in the defense. Lastly, you can use IWB coupled with an already strong midfield to just hog possession and beat much bigger clubs by getting 65% possession and winning by making your few chances count.
>>
>>76946159
Yeah, I noticed that CM(A) work wonder with IWBs. The only reason I still didn't use them in my 3-4-3 Diamond is because they defend in a line of 5, which makes covering the pitch impossible. The irony is that from what I've gathered in his interviews, Cruyff would frequently ask his CMs to track back players on the wings, which basically mean that they were IWBs in a way.

Nah, I meant that the IWB role doesn't work for me with pic related for some reason.
>>
>>76946159
>>76946094
Hence, the IWB allow stupidly attacking formations to be usable, or normal formations to be lethal in attack by having too many players run at the defense for the other team to handle, or to make weak teams competitive by playing pep-ball and limiting the chances that your opponent will get.

>>76946058
Think of Raumdeuters as regular AF/Poachers who happen to play in a wide position, and set up a formation that can support three strikers (of which two happen to play wide). That's basically the idea between Raumdeuters and making them work. They're great if you can manage to have a good defense/midfield with the remaining 7 players on the pitch, as they allow you to have three strikers and width in your attack at the same time. Also, they're not bound in their decision-making like all the other roles are - Wingers will always cut outside, IF will always cut inside, APs will just do stupid shit. Raumdeuters only have the agenda of scoring or assisting, and doing whatever makes that the most likely - they'll judge the situation and go for a cross if the situation commands it, or they'll just lay it off/shoot/cut inside/whatever. Don't be put off by their pre-defined instruction of "plays shorter passes" or whatever. They cross/do risky passes just fine, but only if it actually makes sense. To be honest, they're the only role worth using in the AMR/AML strata, unless you want your wingers to actually defend (in which case, the only possible answer is IFs - Ws is straight up trash).

The thing with Raumdeuters is that they position themselves like strikers would. They don't drop deep to get the ball, they don't try to initiate attacks unless prompted/passed to - they're really only there for action around the box, for shots/key-passes/passes before key passes. If you don't have a great mdifield who can do the work for the three strikers then theyre useless.
>>
>>76946094
>Because APs play like Özil
this.

>The only role I use in the AMC strata is Attacking Midfielder
I do the same. In general, AM and CM are two of the uncontested best roles in the game, they're so damn good for different things. Vastly underrated because they sound so generic.

>>76946245
Yeah, in that kind of formation the IWBs really would be pointless. Midfield is already stacked, but the formation lacks penetration - no clear goal threat from the midfield, it's a very solid but slow/patient approach and simply doesnt need the IWB. You can't really utilize the fact that you get two holding midfielders "for free" if you already have 6 players who help you maintain possession. A regular fullback who will run with the ball and cross every once in a while (or at least offer some wide passing options) is much more useful.

As I've said:
>Hence, the IWB allow stupidly attacking formations to be usable, or normal formations to be lethal in attack by having too many players run at the defense for the other team to handle, or to make weak teams competitive by playing pep-ball and limiting the chances that your opponent will get.
>>
>>76945874
>nobody mentioned defensive wingers
I know it's because nobody uses them but they are really good
>>
>>76946347
They're great for what they do.
>>
>>76944472
It's been this way for as long as I can remember, and because ratings are considered gospel by the game, it really has a knock-on effect on so many elements.

As newly promoted Poole against 1st place Man City, my GK had to pull off 12 saves including an 85th minute penalty to get an 8.1, keeping a clean sheet as we won 1-0. If he didn't save the penalty, it probably would have been 7.3 or something.

Meanwhile, play a friendly against a trash team where you win by 3+ goals and they'll get high ratings for doing literally nothing, no saves and shit pass completion. It's a joke.
>>
>>76946347
>>76946354
Actually lads, humor me for a minute - I can't make it and post it because I'm playing CSGO with a mate right now, but would a wide 4-3-1-2 work with IWBs?

Wingers perhaps as defensive wingers on support duty, or perhaps as WMs or WMa. Up top my standard trio of Treq/AF/AM, and midfielder could be something like BBM or CMs. Could that work? Such formations always suck because of literally no midfield but IWB could make it happen, while providing you enough width and two strikers as well. Sounds dreamy.

I tried something similar with my 3-4-3. Offensively it works, but defensively it's a nightmare a you have aches of space between the midfielders. The defensive side of it is the only reason I stuck with a more "straightforward" 3-4-3 Diamond: FM cannot handle the fact that many teams in the world actually can and will use different formations on and off the ball while FM shoehorns one formation onto everything.
>>
>>76946464
Isn't that more down to the fact that you only have 3 defenders? But wait, youre right... the wingers dont actually do anything in defense, and the AM cant really do much either.
