how do you lads adjust tactics to stop yourself getting exposed?

is it is simple as a few tweaks the catch the opposition off guard, or is a completely new tactic required?

any input appreciated

Which one?

>>78098591
I'm thinking Williams, but I like Mendez' scout report better. He's older and slightly worse technically though, so I'm not sure if "potential star" and "likes big matches" are worth it.
>>
>>78098541
supposedly it's better to send them to leagues you loaded

their matches are simmed in more detail so they grow more realistically apparently

why didnt you load the netherlands they have the qtest regens
>>
>>78098591
Fuck it, I'll take both and loan Williams out. Both are free, so might as well.
>>
>>78098604
>>78098591
mendez's off the ball is a huge turnoff but otherwise he looks good because he has physicals, teamwork and work rate

but if williams has better decisions, I'd say he's better in that case

More leagues or meme leagues with meme rules.
Cons: Inaccurate data (as in much, much more inaccurate than SI) and not well bug tested meaning your save may just break completely after a few years and be unfixable.

The old fees? They went up ages ago. No I paid the standard £9k a year for my undergrad. I'm doing an MA and they tend to be cheaper especially if you're outside London. But yeah having looked around at the prices before I applied for my masters there weren't many decent unis that offered cheaper ones, Newcastle were the only one. I'm at the University of York.

My 8th copy of Football Manager 2007 arrives tomorrow and I simply can't wait to spend the weekend playing it. I plan to start with Celtic and try and bring in obscure youngsters from Europe and Africa to sell on in a couple of years. It's easy-mode I know and with gate receipts I'll have about £15 million to spend in the second season if all goes well, but I can't wait to buy 17 year old Bale and perhaps Corluka, Fellaini, Anthony Vanden Borre, Lucas, Nicolas Millan and some other youngsters I know have the potential to develop into fantastic players. Ok so tactics-wise I'll be playing a 4-3-3 with a defensive midfielder for away matches and tricky home matches but otherwise two central mids (mids = midfielders) and one attacking midfielder, preferably Jarosik who I know can really put them away in that game. Wish me luck guys, I'm in for a hell of a trip and if it's ok with you I'll post a 50 - 200 word review of each game I play to basically summarize what I got right, where I went wrong and how I intend to improve in future. Anyway so wish me luck haha I'm gonna need it in those tricky Champion's League games!

Where is the line between LLM and lower league easy mode?

>>78103136

>>78103136
LLM = sign free agents, and get a bunch of good youngsters on loan, completely stretch your wage budget and walk the league(s)

Well, firstly. Roles and duties, and what they actually do. The more I play, the more I feel like SI doesn't do a very good job of telling you what roles actually do. Like, they tell you the gist of it, but not how they act within the match engine.
>>
>>78103572
I turned one into a Makelele/Kante type so I like them now

really the game still needs more regens that are "weird" players: one-dimensional target men, slow wingers with great technique etc
>>
>>78104145
I have a shadow striker with no finishing or composure, or physicals. His mentals and technicals are otherwise outstanding and it's painful watching him try to play football.
>>
>>78104145
>really the game still needs more regens that are "weird" players
couldn't agree more. fm10 regens were stupidly overpowered, but at least you'd occasionally get things like that. then they "fixed" it.
weirdest regen I ever found was a fast albanian amc/st with great defensive attributes (as well as great attacking/creative attributes)
>>
>>78104138
FM has got to be one of the very few strategy/managements games where you don't have perfect information on purpose. Then you get to the forums, go see some videos and you think "How on Earth was I supposed to know that?".
>>
>>78104189
>weirdest regen I ever found
in the post-fm10 era, I mean
>>
>>78104189
The weirdest regen I've ever had was an Armenian who could play every single position on the pitch except goalkeeper, had no stats under 10 but no stats over 15.
>>
>>78104145
I had a 190cm winger who was extremely physical and had 19 Crossing. I never played with a WTM so I just played him as an IF and he won as many aerial challenges as my CBs while assisting several goals.

alternate the playmaker depending on their preferred foot. replace any of them with a CM if required. don't play more than one kind of playmaker - game engine tends to ignore other playmakers when your team begins an attack and there's already one doing it.

>>78111225
If you have transfers pending, are in the midst of a takeover or are in danger of failing FFP then it could be locked but sometimes it just gets locked if you fuck with it too much since people used to keep switching it between the extremes to arrange deals so SI stopped it because it technically allowed you additional money you didn't really have. Either way all you can do is wait and see if it frees up.

What the fuck is wrong with my board? This is the third first team player they've sold this month and they would sell my key defender as well, if I wouldn't protest it. Despite having a record-high income from prize money this season and our finances being fine. I understand one player, but fucking three in a month?!

You should sell your best players before they do so you at least get a reasonable price for them.

>>78118825
Here's the projection.
>>
>>78118963
It's not financial issues. Your chairman is just a greedy cunt.
>>
If I see a staff member with the "Retiring" icon but still lets me discuss a contract with them, does that mean they'll defer the retirement or will they fuck me? (also he's employed elsewhere atm.)
>>
>>78118963
>>78118974
Projection doesnt really tell you anything and is a fairly useless page. You should be good though. I always thought this stuff happened because of debt but it might have to do with chairman personality too. With Savona my old chairman did this to my squad too, new one hasnt yet and I've actually been able to earn some money on players.
>>
>>78119274
The chairman's eagerness to sell your players is determined by their attributes. Also I think club finances and reputation to some extent.
>>
>>78119274
>>78119352
Do you know if there's a way to force the chairman out? What are those interviews for, that usually appear after you make board requests and are asking you about the relationship with your chairman? Would giving negative answers speed up the process of him selling the club? Or do they just affect the relationship, meaning the more you slag the cunt off, the lesser the chance he will accept your requests in the future?
>>
>>78119490
You can't do anything about the chairman. Other than cheating.
>>
>>78119490
some club have chairman elections and I think there is an interview question where you can side with a candidate. but generally you can't really do shit.

Czech Republic is great for it as well, but that's mostly for young regen talent rather than hidden gems people have signed. Israel and Romania yeah I agree. I once got a world class DM from Maccabi Tel Aviv on a free. Some great lads hidden away there.

I've found a few gems in Croatia too. Usually Africans picked up by Dinamo.
>>
>>78123485
I would consider knocks ball past opponent, but I guess it depends how you play. make sure he isn't being allowed to play a lot of through balls or long passes.
and do whatever you can to get his workrate up
he might do better at AMC or even striker
>>
>>78123485
knock ball bast opponent might be a good ppm depending on your tictac/formation. I'd also try him as an AM with move into channels maybe. just try to get the most out of his speed.

>>78123485
"Gets further forward". He looks like a useful player despite none of his technicals being above 10.
>>
>>78123581
apart from long shots, mb. But yeah "gets further forward", he can be danger to the opposition defence so long as he's arriving late from deep or lurking outside the box.

start by sending an enquiry, then if it works you'll get a message about the player being mad he wasn't allowed to discuss terms w/ your club

then declare interest, passionately say you want him, scout him

then submit an awful lowball bid that gets rejected on principle and the player will get even more mad

passionately talk about him the media every chance you get

then declare him your top target

and then keep lowballing them slightly higher until they cave

I was undefeated for two years (and that means winning everything) with a 4-1-4-1 DM. To be entirely fair, I would've lost a lot more if I was in a competitive league. Being able to swap an entire 11 every match made possible for my players to be perfectly fit every time.

>>78126313
That's what you get when you play with manlets
>>
>>78126313
Which do you use? I've gotten some success from 6-yard box. I put strikers at the posts, defenders at the 6-yard box edge, and whoever has the best combination of OTB, jumping, heading, and pace at attack from deep. Usually the latter player will head the ball towards any of the five players waiting inside the box and nod it in.

>>78126273
i too have noticed the AI doing very very stupid formations
>>
>>78126506
For some reason the somewhat successful AI clubs in FM17 plays 4-2-3-1 all the fucking time, it's uncanny. It's like I'm back in the early to mid-2000s. The now working IWBs mean that you can slaughter teams with pic related tactics. I don't even use the role that much, but each time I swapped WMs for them it and turned my CMs from Support to Attack... The issue is that you have no stability in your midfield.

>>
>>78126729
You were asking; first match of qualifyings. Honestly, the "traditional" diamond, with CM(S° and WM(A) (or >wengers) gets mangled against 4-2-3-1 Wide. The IWBs+CM(A) seem to suffocate it. The home bias helps too.

Then this team is typical of Indian and Chinese teams: a couple of fairly good foreigners and a mass of local shitters.
>>
>>78127244
40k isn't unreasonable even with the broken leg, I guess
he's a really limited player but I can imagine he'd be a passable backup just because of his size
only do it if 40k is nothing to you and if you're going to be in the championship or lower for at least another couple seasons

A too large gap between where some essential attributes are, and where they should be. And as Swindon, you are not likely to have the facilities and staff available to close that gap for some time. At best a championship player in five years time or so.

I used to like the 3-2-3-2 quite a bit in PES. Slap some CWB(A), two midfielders in charge of shielding the team like DLP(D) and CM(D)/BWM(D), the rest up to you.

Nice ban evasion. Absolutely not noticeable.

Anyway, if he's under 24, get him tutored by a more Professional player. See list of good personalities down there.

Well technically it isn't a bad result all things considered (fuck Hulk, and Oscar). The players work themselves in good situations, defend well but can't finish at all, hit the post, slightly wide, aren't as sharp passing the ball around, a bit slow physically, mentally and technically. They're just inferior players with the great majority of them not being even close to 100CA. I quitted without even saving, it really was disappointing.

At that point I would've just used the Empty db file and simulated for two decades. Would've achieved the same result without a fuck huge savefile and waste of time.

>>
>>78128944
Yes, that is only the potential relative to Crewe, so could be awful. But include a 50% of next transfer.
>>
>>78128847
S(D) is a CB(C) that actually does somewhat more than ruining the offside trap by actually sweeping leftover balls while a CB(C) runs on every ball they think your other players can't get onto, leaving aches of space behind them as they completely miss their interception. L(S) is a somewhat more creative version of that.
