talino7 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I have a fairly decent AM but not sure home much I should trust his pre match advice. Part of me thinks he's part of the game code so maybe he know better! Do you tend to listen to your AM's advice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Similar to all staff advice it should be used as a suggestion and not as an order. It can be used as a guide to what to consider but certainly not to be followed blindly. Use it along with your own judgement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glengarry224 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Particularly useful during matches, especially if you play on 'commentary' or 'key highlights' or even 'extended highlights'. For example, your AM warns you that an opposition wingback is getting uncontested crossing opportunities or an opposition AMC is running unmarked into the box: how else would you know that unless you watched more of the match? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

du Garbandier Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Pre-match, it varies from AM to AM. Sometimes he's overly cautious, recommending that you take a lower-key approach than your tactic defaults to. Quite often I find that advice plausible but wrong. As you progress your career you get better AMs, and maybe find someone you want to take from one club to the next, but the best ones usually (for me) get poached to become managers in their own right -- and then get sacked after you've bedded in his replacement.

gunner86 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 It varies. Pre-match, I tend to take advice on opposition instructions. The other stuff I will make a mental note of, but generally I prefer to impose my own style, so stick with the plan, then revert to his advice if it goes a bit sideways. That said, if an ass man doesn’t have the same preferred formation and high tactical knowledge, he’s not gonna be my ass man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. For most of the advice, I learn what my AM usually advises and go from there. If he's always begging me to play 'balanced' and we're doing great on 'positive', I ignore it, but if we're conceding too much.....or if, for the first time, he suggests that we play narrower, I'll take a look at the opposition formation and players to see if maybe there is a reason to do that.
