Mark said: And here is my modified version of set pieces that I am using with my modified version of ZaZ Blue 2.0 where I have changed the Central Defenders to CD Defend and the Wingers to Wingers Support to suit my team. Working well so far
I think I have tried that but It doesn't make much diff with Winger and CD
ZaZ said: My set pieces were based on Duke's, then I made experiments until I started getting good results. I didn't pay much attention to what you said, only numbers by the end of a season. I will check during matches if it really happens, then try to understand why it happens. I believe it might have to do with difference in attributes or maybe substitutions during the match. I will check and let you know.

P.S.: I usually play with key highlights and never noticed. I might be blind.

I started a save with Man Utd and sometime not Rashford ( ML ) and James ( MR ) take it, but Bruno ( AMC ) take it
@ZaZ
I saw in the Corner Set Piece that MR and ML take the corners. But sometime when watching the highlight the AMC take it. Is it a bug ?
ZaZ said: I can confirm. central midfielder is the most important position in this formation.

Can you show a Match plan for Light Blue ?
I want to auto change to Light Blue, I can see that we can add some touchline instructions with match plan
Will try it and report results later.
Also gonna try it with blue 2.0 to see if it make any diff ?
@ZaZ  Do you suggested to changed to cautious or Very Defensive ?
All prob gonna go away if 2.0 gonna be tested @Zippo
Good jobs. Very dedicated in your work !

FM-Nation skin offer that widget
kireby said: Wow, really the good one result, i will try again a bit later. Can you please share tactic here (or PM)? Maybe i missed something
I dont know much about French League. Don't know if this is good or bad xD
kireby said: Yes, did this too, forgot to mention
We deserve the 0-2 loss but the 0-1 loss man xD. Fm'ed
kireby said: tried with Nantes and Elche. Nantes performed well but nothing special (was 2nd in my test with Blue 2.0), Elche performed poor (was 4th).
Maybe i did something wrong, but changed SS to CM-A and gave him instructions as second CM-A has


Also have to changed Mentality to Attacking
kireby said: Is it result via holiday test or you played that games? Because this tweak doesn't work for me that well as Blue 2.0 :(

Instant Result. Which team are you playing ?
Unbeaten with Lazio
ZaZ said: I am quite sure I tried that before with positive mentality and it was about the same. Let me try with attacking and very attacking since the CM might provide some defense stability.


With a predicted 17th squad, I do think It's working well
And also Very Att not working well for me
Try this one:
Change SS to CM(At) ( with all PIs)
Mentality to Attacking
ZaZ said: I tried different mentalities to see which would work better. Cautious gave me the following results:



It's definitely better defensively, taking around 2/3 of the goals from Blue 2.0. I am still checking if I can improve this, as well as reduce the intensity to rest players and avoid injuries.



Gonna try it later. Didn't see IW working in this patch yet, but it would be nice if it did.

P.S.: It seems to work surprisingly well. I am running a second test to see if it was a fluke. I tried it before to change wingers by something else, since very few of my goals happen from crosses. However, I didn't try Inverted Wingers since all tactics with them was performing really weak. I will check if IW is better as ML or AML, then compare with DW and see if it's an improvement. Thanks for the tip.

P.S.2: IW as AML/AMR is better than IW as ML/MR. However, it doesn't seem as stable as DW. I am not saying it's worse, but it doesn't seem better either, so I won't test any further, since I am testing in another direction (park the bus).


Yeah, I Just do that when i really need a goal
kireby said: I have a little tweak (if it could be called a tweak at all) - set attacking mentality while playing vs teams weaker than you. It allows to converse xG to real goals (because i had FM'ed games with 3+xG and 0-0)

Instead, Change MR/ML to AMR/L and changed them to IW(Su)
Early Result but look good
sandy said: skin?

FM-NATION SKIN
I dont think It will make it to the top of the table but still a good 4231
ZaZ said: Thank you. Sometimes I just want to know if the changes are really effective or just my confirmation bias, so I know what is worth exploring and what should be dropped. For example, I want to know if from next patch I will start optimizing from Blue 1.0 or 2.0, or even Red 2.0. Without any tests, I can only assume that Blue 2.0 and Red 2.0 are better, but without 100% certainty.

Do you have some tips for play from semi-pro football club ? I'm struggling with 2nd season because my football team so poor and have quite bad player
