do you think fm23 'exposes' blue's defensive issues? i never used to have this many goals against me in fm22. also, the foul rate is definitely cranked up from fm22, to the point where i'd have anxiety in late game situations with so many bookings

i've tested it with Luton town...def concedes way too many goals (even with my shit quality defenders) and tons of yellows and reds. That being said, I did end up in ECL spot in my second year (100 goals for, 72 against), by outscoring teams in crazy shootouts

ZaZ said: That tactic is more solid, meaning better defense. Blue is better at attacking. Expand

is your ss version better than the cm version? sorry for the dumb questions, i'm new to the game

ZaZ said: It does work well for underdogs, but if you want a more solid tactic, try this one or Green 5.0. Expand

ironically, i've had a lot of trouble with that tactic, are the CMs supposed to be world class attackers? cos i have an easier time scoring with blue

thanks for the reference, lots of advice from Zaz for me to try

is the tactic suited for underdog teams? ive had some good results with it in my first year in the prem (managing Blackburn), but it feels like my players have regressed and i'm giving up a ton of goals to big teams

I'd like to second a request for a guide to genie scout ratings. Is it the percentages that we look at? E.g. after loading the grf file, it says one of my players has a rating of 67% in the AMC role, is that the only number to look at? I assume that's the weighted rating cos I couldn't find any other numbers
