jackane24 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Decided to start a Fulham game where I can only buy transfer listed players. The idea is that it will force me to change tactics every year as I grow + better players become available. Then I need to find a tactic to suit those players (ideally my 3 best players). I like that it will force me to focus on getting the best out of my best. My best 3 players are Mitrovic, Palhinha and then quite a few on 3.5*. So Mitrovic is a bit slow and gangly to be an effective pressing forward, but as a DLF/TM he's mustard. I think to get the best out of him I'd like to give him a good bit of support, so a 2nd striker and an AM (Fulham have no good wide players). Pereira is skillful and I want him on the ball attacking. I started off with him on SS-A but that didn't go well so trying on AM-A now. Also given him the 'gets further forward' trait now. Harrison Reed is a quick, hard working BBM so he can support too. I'm doing ok (I threw my games away to Ars/ManC, combined 7-0 loss), the attack is a bit rubbish at the moment but I've just changed mentality to Positive and that resulted in an easy 2-0 away win at Soton. Just thought this might be a topic worth starting as we can come together to work out how to get the best out of individual players, and we'll become better players as a result.

jackane24 Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) I've just realised I shouldn't be such a prude and Mitrovic is now on TM-A and his partner an AF. Edited August 16, 2023 by jackane24 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I think he'd be better off as a DLF here. TM you always think direct balls and crosses, where you only have the two wide players in a 4-4-2 diamond and you're playing short passing You need some width on the right so maybe a MEZZ or CARR on the right of CM and the holding DLP in CM is a bit much for me too when you have the DM holding The Diamond's a good counter shape too, so I'd maybe rework the TIs You're doing decent though so ignore me if you want sounds a fun save 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackane24 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 No, thanks, I appreciate the advice. Keep it coming! I got FA 1/4 final coming up vs Villa now. EPL 10th, 4pts behind 7th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roles and duties look good, that right hand side stands out a bit though but you know the system better than I do, I'd want at least a WB(S) seeing as he's the only wide player The TI's look a bit of a mix of gengenpress (the Out of Possession) and cautious play (In Possession and In Transition), you could easily change them a bit for games where you're a favourite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackane24 Posted October 3, 2023 Author Share Posted October 3, 2023 Sorry for not updating, this challenge was frighteningly scary unfortunately. I'd have to limit purchases to £15m to make it anything like a proper challenge, just too easy to improve year on year and buy good players. I bought Declan Rice at the start of Season 3...

Since the game doesn't come with difficulty settings, setting your own limitations is necessary. I would consider the following if success is starting to feel inevitable: No future fees (all transfers paid up front in cash). No loans. Only doing recruitment via scouting networks. These changes help reflect a more realistic financial/recruitment state at a club. They address some of the issues in the current game (ie no punishment for overspending your budget) and provide a uniqueness to your save that I would highly recommend. You still might want to start a little farther down the pyramid for a long term challenge Edited October 3, 2023 by Cloud9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
