gunnersguy Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) I like playing possession football but the possession stat seems to vary wildly during the match and from game to game. I watch the game and I seem to have lots of the ball but it shows it at about 30% and vice versa. In FM 23 I could consistently get around 64% even against better teams but in FM24 despite playing for possession against much weaker teams I'm only getting possession in the 30's, even at home. I'm sure it's just confirmation bias or tactics but has anyone else noticed anything different? Edited November 1, 2023 by gunnersguy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiigman Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Does seem to be an underlying issue: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzek Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It’s not only possession stat that is wrong. I have noticed also some shots hit the post aren't showing on the match stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersguy Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 interesting, glad it's not just me. The issues raised are almost identical to mine. I can get 70% plus against teams that are a similar level to mine but struggle to get 40% at home to a bottom half of the table team that just aim to counterattack. Long-term possession football in FM I have found to be maddeningly difficult, you can completely dominate a world-class team one game then the next you can barely touch the ball against a counter-attacking team like Nottingham Forest.
