FMAddict said: Hi ZaZ. Using this tactic for the past 3 ingame seasons now, works wonders with an average team in the league.
I have 2 questions: 1. My strikers seem to score a very low amount of goals, 16 goals in 40 games seems a bit low. They aren't the best strikers I could have however and I was wondering if there is any particular attribute you look for in a striker to be successful. 2. I see you covered the training schedules for 1,2 MPW and preseason. My question is, for example if you have 2 away games in a week you lose the Defensive Shape training for that week because travel is placed instead of it. Is that ok? And another thing is how would you structure the schedule for a week in which the matches are Wed - Sun or Thu - Sat or any of that variation. I have these 2 schedules that tackle this particular question, would you consider this approach ok for this point?
I have also removed the Tackle Harder instruction from most of the roles because I was getting too many yellow cards. I have seen a decrease in yellow cards received by about 30% over the past 2 seasons and the results have not decreased whatsoever. Expand
I have done the same as @FMAddict, (removed Tackle Harder from all positions except for the DWs where they are locked) and found that it doesn't affect my results negatively. I did this for two reasons. 1- to reduce the amount of yellow cards. 2- in some matches, mainly against poorer teams, I find that I can struggle to create chances due to the rhythm being disrupted because of too many fouls being committed.
Regarding the DW role. I am reluctant to change the role because I love the pressing from the DWs, but what would you suggest to do if the DW picks up a yellow card? Because Tackle Harder cannot be removed, would you suggest substituting the player? Or would changing the role to Winger Support be ok?
