Pretended Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Please see the SS of my tactic before anything else: In almost every match, I end up with 13+ shots of which at most 3-4 are on target. No matter how I limit my midfielders from refraining from taking shots, it doesn't seem to work and I am beginning to think I'd fare far better if I could limit those shots to situations that would eventually come up as clear-cut chances, or at least on-goal shots percentage to attain a level of 50% at least. Seeing the layout above, what would be your suggestions please? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean0987654321 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 What are your players PPMs? Maybe you could teach them not to take long shots or maybe teach them Places Shots Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm assuming the midfielders taking long shots are the cause of the off target shots? You can ask them to take fewer long shots, yes (and you have), but a player will still shoot if he sees no other option. So have a look at the situation where a player shoots and see if he had another passing option and that he would have been able to spot it and your instructions allow it.

Pretended Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 My freekick taker is a centre-back, so he contributes into that stat. Other than that, midfielders do not seem to hold back no matter what I do. I don't know if I should tick "Retain Possession" option but I am worried that that will detriment the team's ball control and eventually cause counter-attacks.

summatsupeer Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Typically its because there isn't a better alternative that fits the risk setting of the player. With 5 players on attack duty even on Standard team mentality they could end up taking the chance whilst they have it. Especially if they have the PPM and are in a shooting position. A few screenshots of the shots you don't want players to take might help with diagnosing your specific issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretended Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Well there hasn't been much left for me to tinker with. I'll see how this season unfolds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
