Also, 1 lost match vs Rostov left me without invincible status in first half of the season and again, they had 0.5 xG while we had 1.4 xG so it's a bit of FM in that match. Forgot to mention, we 7th pred.
It's interesting to see how team will play without Riquelme because he's a beast in my save. I signed him free from Atletico B, this summer many EPL clubs wanted to sign him and were ready to pay 15 millions for him, but he rejected them all Expand
Can't be helped. Your team has a budget 100 times smaller than most teams from UCL and you are developing youth, which takes time. To be honest, can't imagine even the best russian team succeeding in a group with Chelsea and Porto. Keep improving and it will come.
Not up to me. They will only test if people assert them this is an improvement over Blue, else they will think it's too similar to test. I think they should allow testing new versions of good tactics, even if they limited to once a week or less, so we can try small optimizations.
kireby said: I can't even buy a real player, i think i have a phychological issue as i want to develop players only. Sold my grown player to Spartak Moscow for 20 millions (which idiot bought him??). Now he costs only 4 million after 2 seasons and played only 7 games. I think i can try to buy him once again and maybe sell after 1 successful season again Expand
My team in real life does that all time, buying bad players for high price then reselling cheap a couple of seasons later. Football Manager mimics real life.
My team just got promoted to the elite from Sweden and finally became professional. I can finally pay more than minimum wage to my players, since I have a rule to never spend more money than I received in the previous year, including staff, so I never go negative on finances.
kireby said: Blue 2.0, buddy And yes, it's very consistent. Even if we don't win, we have 1,3+ xG when opposition have below 1 xG. And in these cases i blame either weak defense/GK or attack. But i met this kind of cases only in few games like game vs Akhmat. Even vs Spartak we had 1.5 xG or smth like this when they had 0.8 xG Expand
It can't be helped. I like to play in lower leagues, like the last division from Sweden, England or Brazil, then bring a semi-amateur team to the elite. The players are usually in the level of grey players, with the star from the team having a couple of 11 or 12. It really hurts to see how many goals they lose for being incompetent. If you run this with the likes of Liverpool, I doubt you can make less than 3 goals per match and not get over 100 points in the league, as well as winning all cups. Gonna run a couple of holiday tests with Liverpool just to show the results.
kireby said: I finished another season, and... it's a treble! What a season Rodrigo Riquelme have spent, with rating of 7.46. He is one of the 3 best goalscorers with 20 goals and the best assistant with 16 assists (2nd place is my player too). But we got smashed in UCL, but bookmakers odds were 10001.00, so we underdogs there. And last word, look at my GK and we conceded only 29 goals in 34 games. Expand
This tactic is very consistent, as you can see by the best Goal Difference in the table. Are you testing basic Blue or 2.0? I think 2.0 is even better, too bad it didn't get picked for tests here. In healmuth's test, it proved really strong for underdog teams.
Check the tactics that score more from corner. If you want a better measure, get the one that score the most divided by number of goals. More offensive tactics will have more corners and therefore more goals from corner, even if their set pieces are not the best.
I did a final change to Blue 2.0, setting passing directness to neutral (I left the direct passing to Phoenix, since they are already too similar). with Blue 2.0 and Red 2.0, I will only try to make new tactics or improvements in the next patch. Please, test and tell me what you think.

Is it happening on the shadow strikers or other positions? With me, I usually get between one to two red cards a season, which isn't unexpected for any tactic.
ta2199 said: I suggested remove tackle hard in both AMC and instead add mark tigher Expand
Thank you for the suggestion. Too bad it's too small of a change to show much difference on my tests. They won't test it here either since it would be almost the same, so I will never know if it's better or not.
DB8 said: Hello Zealot and all the other guys. I want to ask you somethung about this great tactic...
What can we do about the general training and individual training? Do we let the assistant manager to take care of them or do we do somethig else? Expand
I like to train Match Practice twice a week, as well as Teamwork, Defensive Shape and Attacking Movement before every match. If I only have one match in the week, I also add one Physical. Before important matches, I set one session for Set Piece Delivery and if possible, Attacking Corners and Attacking Free Kick. The rest is flexible, but I like to set Recovery after every match for injury prevention and Team Bonding for squad happiness.
I tried. Never got sacked so fast.
Won Porto and Brondby and 2 draws with Chelsea and Brondby.

And once again, @ZaZ, well done, thanks!
Thank you for the tests! Let me know how your UCL unfolds.

You should get this tested, thanks a lot.

I used your tactic on a test with Leicester, 1st season 6th 1 loss but many draws but won Carabao cup and Euro cup
Next season made the right cheap transfers finished 1st prem, semi-final in champions league, won fa cup, won carabao cup, and won super cup
Next season you will win UCL!

Try Red 2.0 later. It's looking really good.
Not really, but I would only put Shoot More Often if I had a good shooter. Did it work well for you?
Probably some players with bad hidden stats, like Dirtness, or just bad luck. Thank you for trying to help, anyway.
