>>77221518
>>77221378
Forgot to add that this was in the iddle of a promotion battle on the last matchday. I was 2nd in the league but a loss could've meant 3rd (playoffs rather than automatic promotion) or even 4th (no promotion) since I was only a point ahead the other two teams and had worse GD. We lost because of Rothenbücher, and I was lucky enough to have both other contenders lose too so that I could get immedaite promotion regardless.
My team was pretty shit that year and I never would've gotten promotion in a playoff.
Man, I need to check out that save again some time - some of the players I had were so incredibly based. Rousseau was on God watch in every damn game. Herelle was a beast CB even when I had to play him in the CL.
you now remember this pass by Christian Poulsen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shl3gibbFKs
>>77222073
very precise pass, perfect speed, played into the right foot.
>>77222073
Reminder that Secco actually bought Poulsen over Xabi Alonso for the sole reason of him "being fast".
>>77222159
kek poulsen fast
>>77221560
I would love to know the stats on how many people have ever chosen "Yeah I guess you make a valid point, I apologise for any offence caused"
Surely that is used less than 2% of the time. Even if I misclicked or confused my players I'd still bully them into thinking they were shit rather than admit fault.
>>77222159
>secco
he should've kept his role as press secretary, he's only bought shit players tbdesu
>he bought Tiago Mendes, Sergio Almirón, and defendes Jean-Alain Boumsong and Jorge Andrade all in the same season
the absolute madman
>>77222181
Man, being a Juventus fan in those times was so painful. Also because of that mongoloid Secco who overpaid on average players. Like Amauri, Felipe Melo, and other complete shitters.
>those fucking wing backs consisting of De Ceglie and Grygera
>>77222246
at least with De Sciglio as a wing back everything is much better now
>>77222261
i think you dropped your /s
>>77222261
He's still fairly young and if he gets put on his normal position which is RB, he may be back to being at least solid.
And Alex Sandro is world class.
Is he good lads?
>>77222314
World Class striker
>>77222246
kek and bendtner too
>>77222332
Bendtner was actually done by Marotta and he literally scored 0 (zero) goals in his stay in Juventus.
Lads, is there anyway I can stop so many fucking crossed goals? Literally only concede them.
Any solid instructions/tactics that helps to stop this shit? Idk seems like its unstoppable in this shit game
>>77222404
Stop playing FM16.
>>77222429
playing 17 la. Still seems like an issue in this game? Or am I wrong (and shit)?
375k offer from Novara.. I really don't know. Should I accept, I kinda like him, he would probably play half the matches this season, 375k is a lot of money for me though. It would almost remove 30% of our debt.

>>77222484
Try playing with 3 at the back and have actual good players. 3-5-2 with wingbacks.
>>77222494
aight cheers
i'm in december with Bastia. Actually not that bad of a team, beside the 0 budget and being unable to loan players
Is the match engine showing you a player get booked on key highlights mode a foreshadowing that he will be sent off later on?
>>77222484
There's millions of ways NOT to concede too many from crosses. Like, more often than not, a functional tactic wont have this aprticular issue. If anything, your problem in 17 will be through balls and attacks through the center.
you mustve gone full retard somewhere, but without your tactics we cant tell where

Errors
Not the time of season to have this dip in form, we're down to 5th place after being second for much of this season. Need to strengthen the fullback and forward positions. Maybe a new change in role, I use a DLF(S) and a AF up front, is that alright?

If you don't care about winning by being gamey; move the strikes to AM as shadow strikers, make the wing backs FB(s), play very narrow and don't use a defensive role in midfield. You can make """"different"""" tactics for counter etc, just always very narrow.

do not play with defensive full backs or you will have 0 width whatsoever in this formation
don't use BWMs they are just yellow card magnets, use the standard central midfielder role on support and add close down more and tackle harder if you really want them to chase after the ball like morons
just use a standard CD-d
would recommend an AMa instead of an APs
would suggest you change that DF to an attacking role like DLFa or something as you already have a player in the AM strata to help link up the strikers to the midfield

wowee, scots really couldn't count in the 19th century
also who here /rich/?
>>77243147
>/rich/
Lol no this is me in the English sixth division, I'm getting as many promotions as I can before our finances crash.
i'm gonna start a career with crusaders in northern ireland, where i'll only use players from my own youth system and not buy anyone.
how long do you think i'll last before i quit out of boredom
>>77243077
>John Petrie scored 13 goals in that match

>>77243296

>>77243296
I lasted 4 months in Northern Ireland before being sacked.
Good luck.
i got literally De Gea'd
>>77243077
How did i not know about that 149-0?
>>77243341
>>77243395
was inspired by some guy on the SI forums who is playing with some san marino club. i want the northern ireland league to become a force but i probably dont have patience to play more than 3 years
>>77243545
It was thrown in protest so it basically doesn't count. Pic related is my favorite blow out, it was so bad that it eventually got Australia kicked out of the Oceania confederation.
>>77243644
a friend of mine started in bhutan, with both a club and the NT, he wants to bring bhutan to the world cup before 2040 and win the asian champions league before 2050, and i know he has the patience to do that
good luck for that my man, might be easier than bhutan desu
>>77243644
The San Marino challenge is easier because San Marino is in the Italian third division so eventually you get Seria A money. The club in the Italian third division is literally called "San Marino", similar to Monaco in Ligue 1
>>77243674
I think anything outside of Europe is pretty much impossible
I took Liechtenstein to a world cup and even got to the final of the Euros before losing 1-0 to Germany in FM13
the memes are coming, literally no penalty takers
>>77243809
yeah he's already out of every international competition and nearly got relegated in the league
>>77243849
WHY DID THEY LET THEIR GK SHOOT
Why are literally all my transfer targets fucking injured til after the window shuts?
>>77243674
i think ill try it.
>>77243706
what? san marino has its own league what do you mean
>>77242770
Holy shit Mitch, you're genuinely getting good at this. Good job senpai
>>77242974
use regular centre backs man not stopper/cover or they will create imbalances that your opponents strikers may exploit
use support or attack fullbacks - automatic duty sets them to use the same mentality as the team which means they will play very differently depening on what mentality your team is on
do your instructions make sense? do you want your team to smack the ball straight up the pitch into the box, bypassing your midfield? personally i'd remove your team instructions, watch how your team plays for a few games with no instructions and see if you might want to make any changes then
team instructions are not required to have a functioning tactic, roles and duties will have a much greater effect on how your players play individually and therefore how your team functions as a whole
>>77243978

Gunna reinstall FM2015 after a few years of non-use. Is there any real difference in FM17 or are they just pulling the same-old churning out the same game every year still?
>>77244743
Same game every year, but with different cheese.
FM15 and FM17 are similar in their cheeses though, albeit FM15 is more balanced overall.
what is this meme

>>77246297
Probably PSG although i don't really know what sort of weird restrictions the french league has
>>77246297
a midtable team
just like real madrid
Started with PSG think i made shit transfers at the start, i got Reid, Correa and Poulsen. Hardley ever conced but have to many 0-0
what's the fastest you can get the sack?
>>77246436
And the battle to avoid relegation rages on. Kinda hope Everton fall to be completely honest with you.
Is this any good? I played it last game we out shot the 29 to 8 but the score was 2-1.
>>77246694
You have WAY too many APs. Use one at most, in central midfield (not in attacking midfield). You can use one of them as DLPs if you want, but dont use more than one APs (and to be honest, dont use any. Use a DLPs and a RPMs if you want multiple playmakers).
Switch your CB to CDd.
Dont listen so much to what the game thinks is best.
>>77246694
lol what the fuck am i looking at here?
>>77246806
Pls help I'm more of a spectator.
>>77246752
I could replace Amiri with a striker winger or a shadow striker. That's what they're most familiar with so I'll have to look into changing they're training. What about instructions? I'm basing it off of previous experience and what I've read.
>>77246979
Dude, its not "what theyre most familiar with". It's what your assman thinks suits his attributes best. Problem is, the assman's opinions are trash.
>>77247073
Oh i thought that was the star thing and the green bar was familiarity. Thank you thank you kraut.
>It's a "opposing team has 4 on target shots with 4 goals episode"

I can get through this
This is getting a little tight. We lost a home game to fucking Burnley sometime in December.
Burnley need two wins to overtake us. They play Bournemouth and Liverpool. While we play Tottenham and Bournemouth. This one is gonna be close.
>Inb4 Liverpool plays their Youth team to kick us out the EPL
>>77247821
And Bournemouth just beat Villa, and they play both >us and Burnley. I honestly don't like the chances. Bournemouth is probably the best of the three teams.
Phew. Get to keep that big TV money rolling in. Team needs to be absolutely revamped though. I was still using a few of the guys that were in League One with me.

I made changes that german anon suggested we out shot them like crazy but we barely won. Nothing really seemed to change. Is it my instructions?
My left back has been sent off literally 3 games in a row, what fucking gives?
>>77248105
>that german anon
lol
I'd stop "working the ball into the box", because imo all that does is lead to blocked shots that go nowhere/give away possession.

>>77248248

Okay I thought it when improve our accuracy we're getting upwards of 20 shots constantly but only a half to a third are on target.
>>77248169
Go into your player instructions and make him not yolo into tackles, change his role if you have too to make him not two foot people.

German national team has disappeared in my game. Started a new game the other week and I've finally worked my way up to the first international break and I noticed my Germans don't get called up and the whole team is a bunch of greys.

Also having played this game for years I only now realised that non-contracts raise your wage total in the budget
I wanted a team that I could remake cause it had some shitty players + no depth + potential
Didn't want to get shat on in my first season while waiting. So I chose Juventus.
Just got blasted 4-0 by Napoli. I'm fucked
>>77250512
It's not on my laptop (where I started the game) but it's still on my desktop and I switch between the two, would that cause problems?
>>77251550
But you're playing FM11, so it's no big deal, right..?
why do ball playing defenders not exist in the regen pool

Well considering you got greyed out Germany, apparently it does cause problems.

Every fucking year some team tries to poach this nigger and he was unhappy for about half his stay in my club because I just won't let him go and then sign a 4 year contract when he stops being unhappy. You're not going anywhere, you fuck.
>>77254821
I hit the absolute jackpot with the first intake when we were L1. Everton put in a bunch of sub 1M bids during the summer, but they offered 1.2M and the board said yes right before the Championship season started.
I'll take the draw but that was possibly the worst i've ever seen us play

Goddamn Hyde why couldn't you just get promoted last season. I knew they'd be my only real challengers this season. On the plus side most of their players are on non-contracts, maybe I might try to poach a few just to disrupt them kek.

The better question is how do you get all of those extra windows? Like how do you get match stats in the bottom right corner and the league table in the top left?
Is running 3 at the back without any actual wing backs a terrible idea? I'm thinking maybe my wingers might be ok at coming back a little bit plus I'll have a DM sitting on top of the 3 defenders.
>>77253071
>drunktexted

>>77262135
It's not that rare if you have the dutch leagues loaded
>>77262204
It's because of the game engine on 17 heavily favoring narrow formations. You'll actually win more games than you have any right to by playing narrow. Ironically enough, from what I've seen, 4-2-3-1's that the AI does works best against.

E X P O S E D
hehe
>>77262724
If you're 2 or 3-0 up at the half-time, you should probably change to something more defensive, since the AI is clearly going to try throwing everything at you.
4-4-2 on Defensive, with at least one Wide Midfielder instead of two Wingers out wide. Two CM(D)'s in the central midfield (their priority should be to protect the defence, not to be ballsy).
Closing Down and Defensive Line on default for the Defensive mentality, so you don't expose yourself too much. More Direct Passing and maybe Pass Into Space as TI's, so you can expose the space that the AI is leaving behind. Don't try to be smart and play from the back, since the AI is going to try pressing you. Slow Pace Down PI on the goalkeeper, so you waste as much time as you can.
I don't usually close the game down that much unless I have a 2 or 3 goals lead though, since it can obviously backfire. Maybe gradually decrease the mentality through the match and only go full on Defensive in the last ten minutes, if your team can't handle being under pressure for the whole second half, for example.
Newfag here, if I train 2 tactics, can I have one team as a starter for one tactic, but other team for other tactic?

Could be. I don't recall seeing that many big money (around 100m) transfers in the previous FMs. Though I did sell a CB to PSG once for 80m, but that was in fm15.
Also I just bought this GK for 11m and I'm not sure if I did well, considering he had a locked release clause of 30m the moment I started the contract talks.
