That's more than enough to build a platform for doing even better next season. Mid-table, here we come (hopefully!) Still using ME23.1BEOWULFKnap424IFVOLHDMUP102EC and I'm pleased to say that, not only did we survive comfortably, we've started the following season on a flyer. After 21 matches we're in 3rd place on 41 points compared to 16th with 44 at the end of last season. Partly that's down to better players (we signed a better DM and GK in the summer window + improving depth at ST and AML, after bringing in better defenders in January) but also having this tactic in play the whole season long means that we've scored big wins over weaker sides and haven't been outclassed against anyone bar Liverpool - and they have 60 points from 22 matches so they're outclassing almost everyone this season. Data analysis confirms that this tactic is great for getting the ball in close to the opposition goal - either crosses/passes to the edge of the 6 yard box for a forward to finish off, or fast balls forward from the DMs/FBs to break the defensive line and send the strikers clear on goal, with about 30% of our assists coming from through balls. My 3 strikers have 29 in 62 appearances between them - not exactly Haaland figures, but there's another 24 goals from the rest of the team, including 8 goals from the wingers with them also often getting in on the act of poaching goals from close in. We're averaging 2.1 goals per game - 0.76 higher than the league average, and that gives us the second best attack in the league (Liverpool have 60 goals to our 44 and Arsenal's 43). Having been unexpectedly promoted in season 1 thanks to one your tactics, knap, I now might unexpectedly be in Europe in season 4. I don't think I quite have the squad depth to sustain a CL push, but with United, Chelsea and Newcastle all between 8th and 11th there are spaces open and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that we might be facing continental opposition next season. Quite how the board will react given that that I was given a three year target to finish midtable, I can only imagine! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not at a particularly high level but still my defending, especially late on, it abysmal. I have tried to drop the defensive line, changed mentality, made individual player roles more defensive...nothing The particular low point currently is how often my centre backs are actually controlling a long ball from the opposition and letting that go straight to their forward so he can score from a one on one!

Quite how the board will react given that that I was given a three year target to finish midtable, I can only imagine! Turns out I did, in fact, have the squad depth: Sticking with ME23.1BEOWULFKnap424IFVOLHDMUP102EC and come season's end we finished 2nd in the Premier League! And that's with a side predicted to finish midtable in the Championship 3 seasons ago, with a net spend since then of less than 50 million pounds, and still starting some decidedly ropey players! My budget for the upcoming window is 70 million pounds - although how I'm supposed to improve on my team when a bogstandard defender like Marc Guehi costs 48 million is something that's going to take a lot of scouting... My last post was after the last match of 2024, a 2-2 draw with Chelsea where they equalised in stoppage time. We drew our next two as well and lost the following match for a run of 4 without a win, but after that our form improved again with just 2 losses (away at Man United where we came back from 3-0 down to 3-2, and at home to runaway champions Liverpool where we had a player sent off at 2-0 and still pulled it back to 2-1). We didn't exactly dominate teams, but did record 9 wins with a winning margin of 3 or more goals. Of our 7 defeats, only 2 (champions Liverpool and 4th placed Arsenal, both away) were by more than a single goal. What we did tend to be was clinical, hitting at or above our xG in most matches. One of my best players being up front helped there (21 goals/8 assists in 41 matches) but the other two strikers had 13/2 in 33 and 18/6 in 38 and they're both Championship level players, according to the coach reports. For context, my coach reports for my squad are as follows: Good/Decent Premier League player - 5/2; Leading/Good/Decent Championship player - 2/8/3; Good/Decent League One player - 2/2; Leading League Two player - 1 70 million won't turn all those sub-PL players into Champions League players... but with a few of the weakest players being out of contract this summer and Real Madrid tracking an expendable midfielder who might add 30 million to the coffers, we might just be in a position to pick up some points in the CL next season. One note that I know has been discussed on here is the rate at which players pick up bookings. This seems to be a match engine issue which SI are looking into, without very much likelihood of resolution. My team had the top 3 spots for most yellow cards (20, 14, 13) across the season, plus another 3 players on 10 each. Small wonder, then, that we had 139 yellows in total - Wolves were second with just 86. But we only got 2 red cards all season, less than 8 other teams. With 793 fouls we were more than 100 ahead of West Brom in second, who had the most red cards (9) but only 77 yellows. Our tackle success rate was 72%, in line with the 70-78% range of the league as a whole, and our total of 859 tackles was second in the league overall to Brentford - who had the best success %age and 2nd fewest yellow cards. Perhaps I just need to sign/train better defenders so their tackles are cleaner! I did try adding the 'stay on feet' instruction for a couple of matches, but we still attracted multiple yellows and it coincided with the 4 match winless run so I dropped it. Perhaps if I do bring in a couple of better defenders I'll consider trying it again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
