I have collected some screenshots, because some people told me that there is no issue... actually, right before the game, I activate the OIs for each position I want. During the game, almost every time, some of the positional OIs just vanish... I was told that it may have something to do with the opposition changing the formation during the game, but first, thats not true, because, as you can see, even with the same formation OIs vanish during the game. Second, this would absolutely make zero sense for the usage of positional OIs...
Is SI actually aware of this issue? My tactic heavily relies on OIs and I really hate it to always follow the OIs during a game...

Respectfully I think you may be able to draw comparisons to Liverpool and man city in real life
I don't wanna play anymore xD... never experienced something like this... at least not used to it in a top league... could easily be the dutch, german or french leagues... but serie a?

This is just crazy... I became a Serie A winner after 5 seasons, but since then, Inter has completely taken over the league... in my last 3 seasons, I collected 87 points on average and it wasnt enough... It really kills the joy... I am happy with my team and results, but this is extremely unrealistic that a team like Inter is dominating in such a way... they only dropped points against me at home...

That shouldn't be a problem. Attribute drops can happen, but a drop like that would probably be indicative of overplaying/overtraining, terrible personality, or something like this. Sometimes this just happens and there's very little you can do about it.
Non-highlighted attributes aren't affected by their individualized training but are impacted by matches and the training schedules you pick for them. The individualized training is a pretty small component as well.
Also, you can fine a player who performs below a 6.5 to improve his workrate
it's the easiest attribute to improve rapidly in the game alongside determination.
well, thats what I have read a lot, but somehow it does not work for me... I am literally fining and criticizing my players after every bad game, but yet to see an improvement in determination and work rate after 2-3 years...

I signed 3 non-eu players in a season, as I was not aware that Serbians do also count as non-eu. However, I was told to prioritize two players and the third one could only be registered when an existing non-eu player is sold. So, I had one non-eu player who I signed two years ago and I sold him. Note that I have also sold him to a club outside of Italy. Yet, I can still not register my third non-eu player. Why? It seems like a bug or did I get something wrong? Any workaround here?

I wonder whether a player that is assigned the inside forward role for the individual training would suffer from a work rate decrease, as this attribute is not highlighted as affected attributes. How does individual training really work? Are non-highlighted attributes not affected from training and would they still increase over time?

Cleaned up your post a bit, no issue with you being annoyed, but don't swear or circumvent the swear filter.
sry mate, got frustrated, since I lost some progress and had a good run. it happens the third time today... seems like a bug... can't click on skip...

Happens so many times now... I can not click on skip pregame and have to restart the game... I am playing on a Mac... what is this? Had a 6 months break and thought with the final patch things like this would not happen...

I mean, come on, this is not something you will find irl... this fixture issue is existing since FM10 and it has never been addressed...
It really makes the game unenjoyable and it is extremely frustrating when you miss all your goals in the last few weeks of the season, because of such a bug...

Has anybody gotten their if's or iw's - whether on attack og support to dribble inside and actually do what the role description says?
I've seen a few times from my own team and ai controlled teams, but far from enough. Played roughly 100 matches and maybe seen it 3 or 4 times
If so how did you do it?
I've tried a lot of setups, and cant really seem to get it done. Hopefully some of you tactical wizards have done your homework bettdr than me 😅
Winger with opposite strong foot works best for me. Somehow there is a ME weakness and IW/IF do not behave as they used to...

The ME and the game does have its flaws, so no matter, how good your setup is, you will still be disappointed a lot of times... However, here are some things that I have done, to improve my results (also playing with a 4231 in PL with West Ham)
- Maximize "Closing Down" - You have 5 subs and also, despite SI telling us that you can play with other styles successfully than just Gegenpressing, I have to admid that it is still like in former FMs... I have had two separate saves with 9 seasons and all I noticed is, no matter how good your team is, going full pressure is still the best way of defending in this game. Also keep in mind that with the current flaws in the ME, e.g., long balls over the CBs, defenders suddenly stopping to react (or freezing), it is just suicide to allow the opposition so much time on the ball and invite them literally to make long passes.
- "Trap outside" is really good for two reasons - Players never cross by just running down the flanks... It is an existing flaw of the ME... no matter what you tell your players, they will run down the line, will turn and pass it to either a midfielder outside of the box or a full back. So therefore it makes totally sense to say keep it tight in the middle of the pitch and allow space on the flanks as crossing is not threatening anyway. I would also recommend you to use "Allow crosses" as this will also help to keep it tight in the centre of the pitch and do not allow your opposition to cut in, which is far more dangerous than crossing.
- Play counter and counter press in transiition
- Change your Volante to "Support" mentality, as your Anchor and CBs need one more passing option
- Change your left IW to Attack duty - Will allow you to press earlier in the opposition third and they will make more counter attacking runs. Somehow, "Positive" mentality plus support role for Wingers just doesn't work... they do not make forward runs as consistently as you would imagine... If you still want them to participate in the build up play more often, then use overlap/underlap options, which will increase the mentality of the full back and decrease that of your winger.
- Change your striker to a support role, as otherwise he will be isolated, despite having an AMC, I made the experience that it is not enough to ensure that the striker is not isolated. try out complete forward, it works wonders in my save.
- Change your CWB on the right to wing back, as I think having an IF(a) plus a cwb is really too attacking minded on that flank

I am really sick and tired of this crap... it happens in every single game, mostly in away games... this can't be about tactics anymore... I tried everything, from lowering the mentality to dribble less etc... nothing works... its always the same pattern... my defender wins the ball back, just stops playing, loses the ball and then of course it results in a goal... whoever claimed that you can also play low block this year is just a bunch of liar... no, you can not!!!! its all about full gungho gegenpressing... lose the ball, win it straight back because of the stupid AI acting stupid...
More and more, SI reminds me of EA.... releasing unfinished products, which will never be finished during the lifecycle and give a damn about players, as there is no other competitor... oh wait, it also reminds me of infantino and fifa... yeah, we love football and we anyway gonna consume that crap, so lets do whatever we want...

Am I the only one who has problems with crossing? My FBs/WBs always run down the line, make a stop, turn around and then cross... I tried with and without "Work Ball Into Box" instructions and even told them to "cross often". I ready through a couple of forums and saw that other people are also observing similar things... This for sure is a bug/weakness of the match engine. Does not have anything to do with tactical instructions or player intelligence, as opposition players behave in the same pattern... Nobody is running down the line and crossing, there is always a stop and 180degree turn first and then they cross with the weaker foot...

I think you are doing quite well in terms of results.
Remove play out of defence, it can really make your players struggle if they are set under pressure from a high pressing opposition. Transitioning the ball quicker into midfield will help your players to overcome the press. Dont worry, they wont hoof the ball as you are on a positive mentality.
//edit: Oh and there is noone creating width on the left flank sufficiently. And noone is creating depth on the right flank sufficiently.thx for the help, yes, result wise, I am more than happy, always finished at least top 3 in my first 2 seasons and in the third I am challenging city, however, my away stats are just awful. don't you think that a mez (a) plus a full back told to stay wider is not offering enough width? and what would you recommend for the right side as combo? I replaced underlap on the left and ticked on counter and just beat liverpool 4-0, but again, at home xD

I am just getting desperate and I don't really now, what I am doing wrong... I mean, I am happy, finishing 2nd, 3rd (CL quarters), currently 2nd with West Ham, but I feel like I could get way more and challenge the league, when I could just find a way to not lose every second away game...
Just look at the screenshots... 14wins from 14 games at home, and already 7 losses away from 15 games...
I sent my tactic aswell and hope, you guys can give me some feedbacks... I played almost all games with a dlp on support instead of an adv. playmaker, but didnt help either...
The way how I concede? I am very very easily losing possession in my own half, literally, my players just stop playing and wait for the opposition to close them down and take away the ball... I am even losing games that I dominate, because I miss so many chances meanwhile the opposition just wins one ball in my own half and scores...

It actually happend two times in my current save. I was looking for an assistant manager with Gegenpressing as his tactical style. The moment I signed one, his style changed to tiki-taka xD
What is the reason for this? Anyone else noticed it?

try my way, hope it works for you. Added hold position instructions make your players prioritize possession first to give other players back to their position rather than making careless counters and passing mistakes, high tempo your players will think faster to make decisions when opponents are presing, at least your players will choose a safer pass because your players don't want to rush to counter. you can still select the counterpress or remove it.
So would you recommend higher tempo or lower tempo? Did not get it

what are the instructions in your transition on TI?
Usually what I do is hold the shape, and increase the tempo 1 notch
Sweeper Keeper (d), roll it out to CBs and FBs, counter pressing and thats it.

I am playing a 433 formation, Control Mentality with play out from the back. Two CBs, one iwb(s), one wb(a), cdm(d), mez(a), and cm(s).
It is working very great, however, in the last games, I have noticed that life becomes very hard against the bottom sides, not because they are parking the bus, but rather going full gegenpressing, especially when they play 4231. Judging based on the highlights, I have difficulties to build up the play from the back, as my CBs or GK just play the ball forward blindly due to the early pressure... Surprisingly, I do not have this issue against bigger teams (playing with Brighton). How can I solve this? I am scared to remove that play out from the back instruction as I fear that my players would then just go full route-one... How can I solve that issue? Appreciate any help.

Does the training schedules include "Finishing"? Your AM pick schedules according to his preferred tactical style (eg. Route-One for example)
This is my assistant manager's profile.
How can I check whether he is training finishing?

I have this newgen, who I am trying to retrain to a striker and like my other players as well, I just can not improve the finishing attribute... Is that a bug? Has anyone had any success and if yes, can you share your methods with me? I am playing with Brighton in my 6th season and I have one of the best facilities and great coaches. My assistant manager is responsible for general training, while I am taking care of individual training.

Ouch! On the bright side, you should be in a very good spot to try and win the Europa League
I already did in my third season
Beat AC Milan 3-0... Usually, I would be really frustrated and come over here to moan etc... But honestly, I can not really blame myself or my tactic, I won like the last 6-7 games including city und manutd and got 83 points xD Looking forward to next season, as it could be one, where I may even become premier league champion with that amount of points LUL

Positional OIs are bugged since two years...

Oh, is there a way to uninstall them without deleting them? It is soooo big and I spent a lot of time downloading and copying them
Do you guess that it might be a visual bug caused by custom add ons?
