Years go, I asked for the staff attribute history of changes. Nothing happened.

They may have removed the weight attribute because players might now physically change appearance as they age and grow? And it was difficult to calculate what the attribute should state for any given year so that it matches the appearance? Just a guess

Apologies, you can actually do this already

In preferences you can currently display players names during a match But it would also be useful to see the players role and duty displayed there along with the players name too. Then you could easily see... oh that's my segundo volante making a run there... or that's my support striker dropping deep Its much easier to understand when you can see the roles displayed Also because when youre designing a new tactic you might use a team whose players names you are not familiar with

Posted a request for a player trait map years ago Something like the current squad planner, showing traits which indicate the behaviours and directions of players in the formation Maybe it will turn up in the new version? When you consider how much of an influence traits have on what your players do, and how traits (I believe) over-ride player instructions... and when you add to that the fact information on your players traits are currently splintered across profile screens, and cannot be viewed in one single place for an over-view.... So in view of all this then I think its fair to call this a flaw in the game design and should be addressed urgently.

You can see the progress of attributes but not personalities.

Physical? Technical? Mental? He is often isolated out near the touchline, in a one on one with the defender. If he could get past the defender more often than currently, it would be very helpful. Then they could get a cross in much more often. So for my scouts, what type of CWB do you think I should get them to search for?

you can only search for one type you need to add an 'OR' option to the search criteria so we can search for multiple personality types in a recruitment focus EG i want to find any players with the following personalities: professional, model professional, fairly professional but I can only search for one personality type Thank you

Thanks One of my dilemmas when trying to make a good tactic is: 1) the player roles should function together cohesively and complement eachother versus 2) give your best players their best roles, so maybe 6 of the roles in your tactic should be those that your best players are strongest in If Im a championship team like hull, and my three best players are Liam Delap (Pressing forward), Tyler Morton (DeepL Playm), and Carvalho (Inside Forward), then the tactic I create should have those three roles in them. Right? But what if the best tactic would mean I should amend Carvalhos Inside Forward role to Inverted winger? Despite him not being as good at that role? And besides all that, how do I practise and work out a good tactic? Just play a season and keep adjusting team instructions and roles until you luck across something that seems to work?

In all honesty I don’t think it’s really possible to learn how to make tactics through the game alone. ive played a few years and still my knowledge is pretty minimal, the game doesn’t really guide or help you. you look at your team comparison and work out what your players are good at and bad at. You pick a custom formation based off that. It works for a while, it stops working, you don’t really know why, you try to change get things, you don’t really get anywhere, so you try to use data hub to find out what’s going wrong but it’s just a mass of information and you don’t know what to do about identified data showing where your team is poor. There is no conclusion from the data eg we see this pattern A is bad, therefore you should do these changes B to address it. its very much like: ok my shot taking is not accurate but… how can I fix it? no idea there are tons of options on the team instructions but it’s not clear or understandable how they relate to the data hub results and which team instruction changes would improve the data hub results Eventually you steady the ship but maintain a mediocre run of results. Therefore you are left to resort to thr randomness of forums to find answers there, but there’s a limit to what people can advise because they can’t see all your players So its a frustrating game that seems a bit poorly designed, hopefully the new version will improve this kind of experience

I get so tired of the FM UI after a few days, so I would like to try a different skin for the first time please. can anyone recommend a top 3 of skins for someone like me who wants a quicker and clearer interaction with useful layouts please? what are the most popular skins too please?

Hi On a player profile screen you can choose different roles and see which highlighted attributes are key and which are desirable (green are key, blue are desirable) On individual training you can do a special focus to increase attributes eg endurance training focuses on workrate and stamina. These focused attributes are in blue i find this confusing because it makes the important attributes stand out in blue, and I get used to this, so when I go back to the profile screen I think blue attributes are key in this context too (but they are not) so recommend changing focused training attributes to a different colour (not blue)

thanks, thats really useful advice.
