aritra14 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 What factors influence a player's chances of successfully learning a player trait? Is there an age limit to that? Consequently, which is the ideal time to teach PPMs to a newgen (when he's in u19s or when he's an impact sub for thr first team)? Any links/articles on this topic would be much appreciated.

Johnny Ace Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Your coaches will tell you if they're too old, I can't remember the exact wording but it's something like "it'll be a waste of time trying this". I did read, trying to teach a young player a PPM will take away training time from them so 19+ would probably be a good age 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You can't teach old dogs new tricks" as the saying goes. Conflicting Traits will prevent new ones being learned, so (silly example) a player with the Trait "gets forward often" won't be able to learn "stays back at all times". A player's Versatility can influence how many and how quickly Traits can be learnt. Check the coach reports for an indication of this attribute. And speaking of attributes, they can impact which Traits may be learned. So more technical players may have a greater propensity to learn technical Traits for example. Players can pick Traits up from other players, either via Mentoring groups or naturally by training closely with them day in day out. And finally the quality of your coaches can have an impact. Don't expect rubbish coaches to teach many Traits. Likewise don't expect defensive coaches to teach attacking Traits. TL;DR - listen to your coach advice and use your common sense. If a coach doesn't think a player can learn a certain Trait he's probably right, and if you think it'll be a waste of time, you're probably right too . 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiritdonkey Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 В 12.12.2020 в 16:30, NotSoSpecialOne сказал: How fast your team attacks in transition. With Counter your team will look to attack quickly during transition, to try and exploit potential space in the opposition formation after winning the ball back. The downside is that players can be become isolated and also potentially lose possession again. Hold Shape has your team approach the transition with more patience. Slow things down so your teammates can get into position before launching an attack and players are less likely to be isolated. Downside is it also gives the opposition a chance to get back into their defensive shape.

Is it remotely possible to play an even game against Liverpool at Anfield? I've been trying various things now but they always play me off the pitch. Worst result so far is 8-0, "best" 5-0. Mane, Salah, Firmino ... those guys are ridiculously OP. Any advice? I've been using a 4-4-1-1 but I'm on FMT so I can chop and change without worrying about familiarity. So, open for input! I don't usually replay matches, but this particular game is so insanely hard it's funny. Just trying for learning here. I don't mind losing, but not in this manner! I know that feeling! I had my best results using a 4-4-2 with PF(s) am AF up top and wingers on attack. Wingers also set to mark their super fullbacks.

I managed to get a 2-1 (good goal and last minute peno vs deflected goal) victory at Anfield. We kept them to outside shots and headers off corners for most of their shots and play a 523 that tries to have possession and be positive. In FM20, I spent the first 3 seasons getting absolutely thumped by them though. This season City blitzed us 5-0 so maybe they'll be the bullies for a while.

NotSoSpecialOne Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This will probably be a shot in the dark, but does anyone have any insight into developing staff attributes? Curious to know if there's anything we as managers can do to push their growth towards their staff PA ceiling or guide their attribute growth? Be it working in a specific role, gaining coaching badges etc. I posit the question because I'm a fan of bringing in loyal and usually noteworthy players into my backroom staff when they retire and usually they start on the bad side as you'd expect.

I believe this has changed in the 21.2: Quote - Team stats showing goals conceded to be 'worst' when it should be 'best' Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure my Conceded per Game part of the polygon is now correctly smaller (low value = good, high value = bad). Would be good if someone else could confirm though, since that Changelist note could be meant for something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halbraum Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Is the "Move Into Channels" a contradicting PI for striker roles that drop deep (F9,DLFs,TQ)?

That depends on whether you need him up early during the build-up or not and in case of a turnover whether there is a player behind him to delay opposition's potential counter-attack. By the way, you should also take your team mentality into account when deciding on this. Edited December 20, 2020 by frukox Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want your striker to do an early push, attacking duty strikers could do the work for you. If you want him to hold up the ball and create space around him support duty strikers may be better.
