The instant result gives your manager "credit" for managing the game. Holidaying gives your assistant manager "credit". If you holiday an entire season and win the league your assistant manager might win manager of the year. However, you would win manager of the year if you did instant results instead.

detroitrex said: I've just had a lightbulb moment. The reason small, speedy "target" forwards outrank more traditional target forwards has absolutely nothing at all to do with target forwards. It's because (being quick and fast) they're better at pressing.

Pressing is king. The reason speed and acc kill everything else in the attribute tests is because they're the #1 best way to improve your pressing effectiveness. Not only does the ball presser arrive sooner, but all his teammates will rotate quicker behind him. 

That quicker forward gets to his man quicker, but he also is quicker to break into space if the press wins the ball elsewhere on the field.

If the meta wasn't so gegenpress-dominated, I think there'd be more room for big, slow target forwards. Currently, for a slow forward to pull their weight they need to bring something else to the party, whether that's playmaking or set pieces or something.


Sincere apologies if everyone else realized this ages ago and I'm just a little slow to pick up on it :)


I like your idea. That probably holds some truth. I would also consider the opposition matchup in this case. The fact that centerbacks in the test league have 13 Acceleration, 13 Pace, 15 Jumping Reach, 15 Strength.

The "short" striker has 15 acceleration and 15 pace. So despite lacking jumping reach and strength, he has a clear advantage in overall speed compared to the centerbacks he plays.

The "tall" striker has 12 Acceleration, 12 Pace, 18 Jumping Reach, 16 Strength. The "tall" striker is disadvantaged speed-wise but has a jumping reach and slight strength advantage over the centerbacks he plays.

Obviously, there are more changes than the 4 attributes listed. However, it seems to me that losing the pace advantage for a moderate aerial advantage seems not to be worth it. Even for the target forward role.
Can this tactic be added to the queue to be retested in v2? Thanks
