TacticalMaestro Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I tend to struggle in the second season of my saves in FM after dominating in the first. I will not say that the computer has '' learnt '' my tactics but I've gained an understanding that the computer Respects us more so they drop deeper and defend better and counter us etc. .

HTC Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I already using the tactic. But with offside off. What do you mean? My DMS have TB often, FR sometimes and Direct (15) Passing My MC the same but FR often and Move Into Channels. My Wingers Move Into Channels, Sometimes Run from deep, Often Run with ball, often cross and pass. My Striker is a quick one. Run onto ball Supply. Counter On, Mixed Focus.

furiousuk Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Employing an offside trap has more to do with teamwork, positioning, anticipation and general smarts than speed. If you think your guys can work as a unit to make the offside trap work and frustrate the opposition quick striker then go ahead. If not, or your guys have the pace to catch someone who has gotten in behind, then don't use it. Probably the simplest answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just been reading a blog about Pro Vercilli on FM and he mentions co-ownership deals. How do they work? 2 non-EU players from abroad per year is the main rule in terms of transfers and there is no registration. Co-ownership is basically that you sell half of a player's playing rights and retain the other half. You can choose which team he stays with during a period of 1 or 2 years after which both teams make an offer and the player goes to the highest bidder (current team if offers are equal). During the period each team can buy the other's 50% share, while a third team would have to negotiate with both to get the player. Useful for limiting risk on transfers as a big team and equally useful for small teams to get some money in without losing the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiabloRojo Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi guys, I hope I'm in the right place! Im lookin for a little advice, iv just started my first save with huddersfield and terminated all my staff. I planned on getting in coaches and then setting them attribute specific in the training section, I.e my best tactical coach purely focussing on the tactics and so on, so I would employ around 7 coaches, is this right or wrong? Will I get the best from my staff and players doing this? I only ask as I looked at various teams of different leagues but non seem to have that many coaches, unless you take into account youth coaches aswell, thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I leave my assistant (tony coton) to cover all aspects of training, or set him to his highest attribute of goalkeeper duties? I'd say it depends on whether he's got something to offer all aspects of training - if he's a good motivator or man-manager then yes, he should do them all, so long as you have enough staff, you may need him to stick with maximising GK ratings. In general I have a 'star hero' who just has to maximise star rating - if he's crap at motivating or managing then that's fine because I'm going to have a motivator and a morale guy work with everybody anyway so cumulatively I've got all bases covered. I think I generally have 4 guys in each training category which is a lot to be fair, thats: Star coach - maximises star rating, usually lowers morale because these guys are hard! Motivator - works with everyone, keeps em working but lowers morale Psychologist - works with everyone, helps keep morale high AssMan - my AssMan is surplus to training so he works with all, helps with relationship building (I think) I also have Edgar Davids and Jason Dodd floating around my backroom staff. Davids is kept for his knowledge of Holland and because he was a very high rep player (he's probably kept through nostalgia and I should probably get rid really) and Dodd because he just loves the club (I can't say exactly how this benefits in FM but it feels right - if it does anything then it'll keep morale high and boost relationships, particularly between players and the club which means they'll be extra-doubly determined playing for the club). Both fill any vacancies if my staff get poached and both are decent-ish motivators so it doesn't hurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember if he's a lone striker though then naturally he will drift more than he would when playing with another striker as he'll have more space to cover and play in. Thanks. If I want my lone striker to create space, ie like drag a defender or 2 away, so that my inside forward/attacking midfielder can cut inside/get into the free space to attack, I should have 'roam from position' checked? My current setup Position - Role - Roaming S - Poacher(Att) - No AML - Winger(Att) - Yes AMC - Adv P - Yes AMR - Winger(Att) - Yes I would like to change it something like this Position - Role - Roaming S - Adv Forward(Att) - Yes AML - Winger(Att) - Yes AMC - Att Mid(Att) - Yes AMR - Winger(Att) - Yes or Position - Role - Roaming S - Adv Forward(Att) - Yes AML - Winger(Att) - Yes AMC - Att Mid(Att) - Yes AMR - Winger(Att) - Yes Position - Role - Roaming S - Adv Forward(Att) - Yes AML - Winger(Att) - Yes AMC - Adv Playmaker(Att) - Yes AMR - Inside Forward(Att) - Yes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uselessoak Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi I have a problem...I am playing a 4-1-2-2-1 with two inside forwards on the wings. When my striker in a CF (a) position gets the ball I would like my wingers to move in into the opposition box but they seem to be staying wide almost on the same line as the CF. When the inside forwards do have the ball, they cut inside though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the inside forwards do have the ball, they cut inside though. You can try very high creative freedom, make sure they have roaming ticked and pick inside forwards who are really strikers and see if that helps. To be honest, they are in the AMR/AML slots because they should stay wide and tuck in late. If you want them more central most of the time have you tried playing with a 3 strikers? You can set it up to play pretty much exactly how you want pretty easily and still retain a good 41221-433 shape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
