I have designed my team to play with Black Echo 442. If someone plays at Vanarama, they know that finding players is PITA. Three defeats with 20.4.0 TEA FOR ONE. Rest defeats with Black Echo. Breaking wins for the team What about goals? We have it. My goal machine (this is a joke Knap, congrats) Regarding for yellow and red cards and fouls Now. The more serious things about the game. I am taking responsibility of training. I am using 2 Match from FM Korea and Chance Creation & Score More Goals from Passion4FM. https://www.passion4fm.com/football-manager-training-schedules-megapack/ I am also using training sche. for youths from Passion4FM. Not so much for comment about those, I have started to use it 8 months (in game) now. Chance Creation & Score More Goals sche. really helps. I haven't checked Youths.

Pulling my hair out here - never had such a good team but cant do anything. i'm using the black echo 4411 and changed the crossing to whipped cross as all my wide men have good decent crossing, vision, anticipation and technique. Coleman doesn't have good vision stats but the rest do. ST also has good movement off the ball. my ST scored 4 goals from crosses. Digne created 3 chances, Coleman created 1 chance, Iwobi has 2 assists, Bernard created 1 chance and 1 assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading into some blogs and guides and stumbled across crossing. So just trying to use my head on when the right time to choose different types of crossing. So just using this Everton save as a test. Whipped crosses will require technique, crossing, vision. Strikers should have good anticipation, of the ball and first touch Float crosses I would use when my wide players are poor at crossing, vision and strikers have good physical presence and bravery, teamwork Low crosses I would use when my wide players are poor at crossing, vision and strikers have good acceleration, off the ball and anticipation.

tmsinclair Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hi Knap, so it's a good idea to choose a tactic from 'top' teams when i'm favourite in a match even if I'm only a Championship team? And one from 'sub top' when it's evens and one from 'underdog' when I'm the underdog? Also, on the FM Base testing list I noticed blackecho4411 is listed as the best for poor teams but not as underdog on your list. Which list is better to use if i'm looking for an underdog tactic? thanks for your help and great work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knap Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 @tmsinclair The FM Base test is not what it appears to be at first sight. Poor relates to reputation and not under dog, same with other categories. I have therefore removed references to these tests. The categories top sub top and under relate to any league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

8BuggieNights15 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 As someone who has used 4411's religiously, I wouldn't recommend black echo 4411 unless you have some really decent players or willing to do as RDF does and tweak along the way, I've found it to be an unforgiving tactic on my saves. Of course you can always go on a winning run and you'll steam roll your way through the next 10-15 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactics have always came 2nd to squad building for me so never thought about those small micro manage points. they can make small differences that turn into a big difference. if i can turn just 2 draws in to 2 wins, that could be very important 4 points at the end of the season. asking players to do things they can't might just be too much to ask. also it could change your tactic...having 30+ doesn't always mean your tactic is working, you may be dominant in possesion but not creating good chances because players making wrong/different decisions. i noticed in one of my games (i use instant result but play back matches with extended highlights), Sigurdsson is slow and my midfielders have good decisions, but they would shoot or play different pass in situations instead of playing into space as Sigurdsson would be too slow to make the pass. so my midfielders may have good decisions and the good decision is to not play the pass thats impossible for Sigurdsson, but that changes the way we attack.
