He's natural CB, but with only a jumping reach of 10 I don't want him at the back. Currently having him train as a DM as defensive midfielder. Is that the best course of action?

Playing as Málaga and I won the league in the first season gaining promotion. Expecting a relegation battle the following season I started quite well. P6 W1 D5 L0. Following a few more results I stayed around midtable until I played Real Madrid at home. I lost 2-0 and after that played against Getafe at home winning 3-1. Then came the break for the World Cup. After the break well... I went 13 more games without losing, 8 wins and 5 draws. April was a bad month, 1W 1D 3L and in May, I had 7 fixtures to play. I was bearing down on European places with the dream of a 4th place CL spot. Given how other clubs lost lots of points, it was very close. First 4 games were against bottom half teams, 3 of which were 20th/19th/17th at the time. Come out with 3W 1D.
3 games left. All home. All important. Barcelona. Villarreal. Celta Vigo.
I was over the moon with this! Complete shock how we dominated. My team is average at best.
Tough game. Villarreal were fighting for the 4th place spot also and avoiding defeat gave me a great chance! This was the last match of the season ( round 38 ) however due to a waterlogged pitch, I still had 1 more to play that had been postponed and was in 2 days from this. A win would see me level on points with 2 other teams.
By god we did it!!!
Thanks to @Rashidiand his content on YouTube. I've learned so much about actually understanding tactics / roles / instructions and managed to get a solid system. For a relegation battle expected, with the low quality of my squad compared to the rest I never expected this. I've played FM for 10+ years and this is by far one of the greatest starts to a save I have accomplished.
Time for an even bigger struggle now, staying competitive in the Champions League! Will help the finances massively as Málaga don't have the much. I was given £8mil budget for the new season.

Check this out.

@thesharmzHaving VVD on Cover whilst playing with an Offside Trap makes no sense. You want him to drop deeper than the Defensive Line but also step up to play the Offside Trap. You need to remove one or the other.

How does a CM(D) compare with a CM(S) with Hold Position TI ticked?

Saw you mention that the game says your striker can't play CF due to having 1*. Personally think you should take the * business with a grain of salt as you can look at attributes and make your own mind up. Also just because the game recommends that your LAM is say an IW, doesn't mean he can't play IF or even W.
Look forward to reading how you get on, seeing threads like this help with my own situations with the game!

Hi, just a quick question for @Rashidiif I may.
How come you never use a Stopper or Cover or both when doing your tactics?

I always thought Pass into Space meant instead of passing to a players feet, they pass in front of them. Not necessarily a though ball all the time, just into open space. Doesn't mean however it's a good idea because the opposition might get to it first.
Some things like you have the ball with a midfielder, you have a LB on the left flank wide open. Pass into space would encourage the ball to go out to that player rather than play a simple short pass to another midfielder.
I could be wrong, just how I have viewed it.

What do you think are the common mistakes people make when creating 4123 / 4231 tactics?

How much do player traits play a part in getting better results? For what I mean is say you just use the standard Control Possession tactic, which squad would get the better results, assuming it's the exact same squad ect.
Squad A where no player has a player trait
Squad B where players have a player trait

This is fantastic. Nice job!

As far as I know, you can't do anything about it. Once a new president is selected he goes out and buys the players he said he would. Managing Real Madrid and the new President went and paid £196mil for B.Silva and offered £149mil for Sterling but he turned the contract down.

Or use the search bar, plenty information around already.

So after Mourinho joined Tottenham, I loaded up my Editor and set Pochettino to leave at end of contract on the day he got sacked, and appointed Mourinho as a future transfer on the day he signed. I did that for a few others and now I want to do some more but the option is just blank. I can't even add people to clubs.

Have you tried using the other skin to see if it changes the colours at all? That may make it better for you - I'm sure they must have factored this kind of thing in, but obviously couldn't swear to it, not being colour blind myself.
Just tried them both now, Dark mode hardly made a difference, light mode I could see the bars and even saw numbers at the end. It looks awful though 😂

Not sure if this is the right place to post so apologies if it is. It isn't a bug, just a suggestion.
As someone who is colour blind, I had to look really really close to try and find what was going on with this page. Real Madrid have 5 players and I can't see a bar for the others without studying it. Hoping it could be made a bit more clear.

What's the difference between a AM(s) with get further forward ticked and the AM(A) which already has it in? Sorry if it's been asked before.

How do I know what role to use for my players that are not just the standard roles? Like when would I choose roaming playmaker or a Raumdeuter ect.? Every tactic I make is just the standard Inside Forward or Wingers, AP/DLP/DM/BBM for my midfield and AF/CF/DLF for attackers.

How would you describe Modric's role?

I play it by ear. I'll leave things on Average usually, but if I don't think someone is developing well enough I might up it. Their personality and injury problems will play a factor however as injured players don't train at all and players with a poor personality won't take as kindly to more intense training.
Okay thanks a lot!

I have just been reading through your guide from a while back where you started as West Ham @herne79 and was wondering what you do with training now regarding the intensity level for each player. Looking at your post, it didn't seem to be an option back then but there is now. Do you set everyone to high intensity?

Can someone explain to me the difference in the CM(d) and DM(d) please. 4123 is the formation I struggle with the most and if I move the DM up to a CM position then everything just plays so much better.

Ah okay, thank you! That makes things clearer.

If I want my midfielder to train all round, should I have him training as a Roaming Playmaker? Will this improve all aspects that are highlighted rather than just focusing on say training him as a DLP.

Pointless improving youth setp

Pretty sure that the personality of other youth coaches / manager / assistant manager plays a part in the youth recruitment, not just the HOTD. You get a good set of personalities and it can be a golden generation every year. At least it has been in previous titles.
