AceCream Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) I believe it just increases the likelihood that your players will disobey your instructions and make more riskier (attacking) passes and movements. Using "Be more expressive" as a team instruction (TI) will therefore tell every player on the pitch to try something risky from time to time. So, unless you have a highly creative group of players and are a lot better than your opposition I would not use it as a TI except maybe late in the game trying to win against a team parking the bus. In my opinion it is more suited as a player instruction (PI) for players with high flair, technique, decision making and vision. You can think of it like a risk modifier. If you are already playing with an attacking mentality and play direct risky passes, like the gegenpressing preset, you probably won't see a big difference. If you were however playing a cautious methodical possession based system you would probably see players going off script and improvising more often and trying riskier moves. Conversely, "Be more disciplined" decreases the likelihood that players within your system disobey their PIs and TIs. Similar to how Guardiola or van Gaal want their teams to operate. They actively discourage players to use their imagination and make risky dribbles and want them to stick to the system. Look at Grealish when he was at Aston Villa and now at City. He has been creatively neutered. Which, to be fair, makes for very effective albeit dull football at times. Edited April 6 by AceCream 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NineCloudNine Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The tooltips on these options are pretty clear. I'm not sure what else it is you want to know tbh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevinho7 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It isn’t only effective when you have very technically gifted players with high flair tho… When playing in the lower leagues, where players aren’t that good in general and they already have some difficulties in following your tactical instructions in a disciplined manner, you can use be more expressive to let them try things out and just play their game. Think of it like letting them think outside the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreambuilder Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Turn on more disciplined when facing a better team or when you want to preserve a lead. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
