If I ask for something, I would be very happy if you could do it when you are available. Can you take a trip to the champions league with the worst team from the lowest Turkish leagues? Expand
I will see about that later, since it will take at least seven to nine seasons before I can challenge UCL with Concord. Not sure how much energy I will have to do it all over again.
venomenom said: I'm sorry if this seems as a bit of a noob question. So I downloaded genie scout, uploaded the ratings and everything. My question is, how do you find players for specific tactics, for instance yours @ZaZ Expand
Genie Scout will just show the current rating and potential rating of all players. You need to filter the ones that match what you are searching, like age, position, sale price and minimum current rating, then press enter. After that, you need to talk to them inside the game and see if they are available.
By the way, you need to change the rating from default to the ones we provided, clicking in the start button in the top left.
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? Expand
You can change DW-Su to W-Su and set it to have higher pressing intensity (trigger press). You can only increase the intensity after you decrease the pressing intensity of your team to minimum. Remember to return team pressing intensity to maximum after doing so.
We are the champions, bitches! Kinda expected since lowest division is so easy. With a squad of just eleven players (by the end I recalled two extra from loans due to injuries), a team predicted 17th can easily dominate and be champion, as long as your tactic is at least above average. Next season will be more of a challenge, since the gap between other teams and mine increase a bit, with Concord being the worst in league.
Also, I kinda hate the end of championships, when my team starts playing bad because of anxiety to the title and I feel like they will let it slip. That final run got me a bit nervous, even though I had a good advantage.
Now, I'll run a couple more of experiments on my own to decide if I will keep using Blue 3.0 or if I will move to Blue 3.0 RPM (aka Blue DM).
Next step is to dive into the market to do at least 30 trials a week to reveal player attributes, repeat that every week until I select 22 players for my squad next year. Only player that will continue is Jordan Aina (his contract goes to 2023), but I can keep someone else if I don't find better replacement.
zagor said: Thank you Im very old FM player and i always tried to create a tactic. Sometimes it works but usually it has mistakes and some lacks. I like offensive football. In this tactic no mistakes no lacks. Very successful. I just noticed 2 things. First, The opponent's greatest weapon is the counterattack. I only concede from counterattack but not every time. Second, individual mistakes and lack of fitness. It's not important, it should be So you inspired me for try to create a tactic And I opened an account here just for you. I will try it maybe i can. I wish you continued success. I'm following you! Expand
Now at 30 matches in the league. League is almost won and I'm progressing well on FA Trophy. I usually win that lower cup in first season (P.S.: I talked to early, lost on quarter finals against a team from same league as me). Got two longer injuries (longest lasting three months), so I recalled two players from loan. I don't plan to renew contract with any of my players, as it's often better to just hire a new team after season is over. Since all players are pretty bad, you get interest of better players (even free agents) after your team increases reputation.
As a funny fact, I got a bug where half of my team played in black uniform, so it seemed as if three teams were in the field. Picture attached.

(about the test grade) Expand
Version with RPM is better for FM-Arena tests, but the difference is smaller than margin of error. In my tests, version with DLP is better, also with a very small difference. I'll be doing more runs to see if the difference is significant. For now, I would recommend anyone to use RPM version.
Screenshots from instructions, set pieces and training are up again.

I don't think it will help much. IWB already automatically underlap with DW. Adding the team instruction will just make DW not run with the ball as often, but instead hold the ball waiting for IWB to run into space. In other words, you will sacrifice DW options to create more IWB penetration. I prefer to leave it to the DW to choose what option is better instead.
Did a small change to the squad view and updated the post. Sorry for the change, I just tried to make it look better since other people will be using it.
P.S.: Anyone using in-game editor can change ability and potential columns to real CA and PA, if they like to have that info visible.
Mark said: Can you upload the squad view for us so we don't have to recreate it - Thanks Expand
Sure, it's attached to the message. I removed additional focus and added playing time happiness and contract expiry date. I also moved games missed closer to playing time happiness, so all selection info is nearby. I kept the position/role/duty training since it makes easier to sort players and compare players from same position. (Sorry for changing it two or three times!)
Anyway, 20 matches in the league. Got kicked out from FA Cup against team from League Two (two divisions above mine), but league title is on the way. Had to use some gray players during a few matches because of suspensions, but things are going well. During one match, I got my DR sent off and I removed SS to make up for it (actually I moved SS to DR since he was better than the gray player, and neither could play DR anyway). Again, Danny Green was the best in my team. The guy is a beast for assists.
Finances are way better now, but my main goal is to get over one million to become professional during National League (next division). That means I need to progress a bit further in FA Cup, which also means I need a better squad.
Hardly. At least with me, corners are being sent to the head of DCR (near post).
Read Squad Management at first post.

In short, they analyzed tactics and improved the league to have stronger opponents.
Those were all starters, though. It was 4 or 5 players.

That's life. I'll take screenshots again soon. Thanks!
