Board unhappy about the number of different formations used

[Bevan11]

Hi, in FM20 my board are "Unhappy about the number of different formations used".

Do they think I am using too many formations or not enough?
I'm presuming too many, though it could be clearer.

I have used 4 formations in the past month.

It seems a weird thing to say - are my board just finickity perfectionists?

Will it go away if I settle down to 2 or 3 formations?
How long would that take to happen?
(I have stopped using the 4-4-2 Diamond Narrow they are complaining about as it wasn't defensive enough)

Is there a limit to how many formations you can use during a particular time period?

 

Thanks!

Yes- I would assume that they think that 4 different formations in the last month is too disruptive, especially as they have highlighted deficiencies in one of them.  I think that most managers will have 2 different formations in mind and rather than change the actual formation , will adjust the mentality and team instructions when trying to make changes.

The Board satisfaction module is far too sensitive IMO and they appear to want to pass comment on every aspect of the game, but I have found that winning on the pitch will  pretty quickly overcome most of their unnecessary concerns.
