Hi hello again i finally got excel, and ive got everything working, but there is one small problem , everytime i go to sort something out it turns everything 0 and deletes everything if i try sorting from smallest to largest and everything in between.

I've fixed it i found someone who had the file, unlocked so now im able to use it, now the only problem i have is some stats arent showing but i know why is due to the formats, the dot/comma etc, but i dont know how to change it on libre office or browser office

I try to sort things and it asks for a password is there any issue there im using the browser excel

Ive seen some videos and articles on this concept of minimum width/Relative Width it's a concept that helps counterpressing and counter attacking is a concept used by the red bull clubs and julian naglesmann being the most famous applicant I would like to know how to apply it inside football manager, my question is it just making the attacking width very narrow or there's something more you can do it to make it work. I will leave a video that explains it in more detail then what I can explain in my limited English.

I know this adds nothing to the discussion but may i ask what skin are you using, it seems your are using mustermann's skin but you have nomeric attributes how?

I'm currently in the process of rebuilding Lyon while playing the game completely atributeless, relying on data, and I want to still build a DNA and a footballing Phylosophy,but I'm atrocious at tactics so I'm asking for a little help. What I want to replicate is this. I know he wasn't really successful in real life but I really like the ideas and would like to implement in to Fm24.

Yeah but what if i prefer to play online? and then what if i dont have so much time to dedicate to really tweak and deep dive into the tactics? I hate playing with downloaded tactics because i get a feel of not being me the manager and yes i win but at what cost? im starting to hate teams that gengenpress in real life as well coming from a LFC fan. But everytime someone has this frustrations people just say" oh thats because you dont understand the game and dont know how things work" ive asked multiple times for help , ive read books in football tactics , ive read alot of threads how to make good tactics and it just feels like it never works and its super frustrating.

I really feel your frustation, specially because i play online, as for me games are more fun when playing with friends and because everyone is competitive they will use meta tactics exactly like the one you described , but im a big fan of a more pragmatic negative style and i try to do it and it results in 0 trophies and getting slapped up by my friends by 4+ goals and feels horrible when i recruited smartly to suit my football, instead of just buying meta wonderkids and gengenpress but unfortunatly thats exactly how to win. Other thing that bothers me is yes you hipotectically you can win with every type/style of tactic but some people dont have that much time and effort to try and make a non meta tactic work. I really just want to pick up the game make a balanced tactic with few instructions that really suit my players and not worry about it, but for that it needs to be high press high tempo, otherwise ill have to do way to much to make it work, it can take hours of absolute frustration and bad result until getting something that wins 50% of the time and loses 100% against any good meta tactic.

Hello I'm here to look for guidance in tactics (which is the part I enjoy the most) but the one that's more difficult to get good at and I feel like Im very weak at doing them so I need your guys help, but I don't want a download, I just need a guide on how to use the tactics creator to its full potencial. I've called this the ancelotti method because he doesn't have a style or formation that he uses at every club, instead he builds with what his got, I don't want to play tiki taka or gengenpress if it doesnt make sense using that playstyle, I want to build a tactic around my best players and then watch them shine.

Thank you for you answer, yeah it looked like a very high press, i will put it into practice but not now with the team im currently managing but i will leave a little present to the ones that read my post, i will break down how ive mastered the art of the 4-4-2 especially 4-4-2 with mid and low blocks and show results. So i will start by thanking some threads ive read so you guys can read it too and learn about that especific formation the way ive learned. https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/552927-a-guide-to-defending-like-a-real-442/ https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/483681-the-4-4-2-examined/ One of those threads speaks about the importance of partnerships in a 4-4-2 and the other one speaks about how 4-4-2 are used in modern football and how they can be a defensively solid formation. I will give my own way on how i build my 4-4-2's. Lets start by roles and duties ,the way i look is, i will go to my attackers first and see what kind of partnership they can have , i generaly like to have a support attacker and one that focus on scoring goals, at my buxton team we have the perfect kind of strikers one can play a pressing foward and other plays the goalscoring AF like this. Other combinations that i like to use are P and TM(s) P and PF or any other supporting role with a AF. but if your team doesn't have two strikers i will use an assemetric 4-4-2 like this. Where you can have also a lot of roles combinations and, you can use your good n10 in a position that he is more comfortable in without forcing him to be a striker and still have that 4-4-2 shape, another thing that i will use on my strikers is the PI to mark specific position(not player) where i will ask my left foward to mark the right DMR and the right foward will mark the LDM this way the will recover to a defensive position and will come back deeper and support the defence. Now onto the flanks on the flanks i like to have a partnership where the full back is instructed to overlap(without the ti) and other that doesn't overlap ,this is a principle that i've taken from the thread mentioned above. So my flanks look like this Left Flank(Overlapping Parnership) this can be a multitude of roles, a more agressive variation would be IW(s) with a WB(A) for example , but this was what suited my players best and generaly i like to be more cautious. Right Flank (non overlaping partnership) this again can be multiple roles you can use for example a FB(s) or if you dont have a right footed winger on the right you can play an IW(A) with the PI Stay Wider. Other PI i like to introduce on the flanks is again ask my wingers to mark a specific position on my Left Winger i like to mark the RCM and on the Right the LCM respectivaly , i use this because i like my wingers to stay more narrow and ive noticed that it works and they wont come super inside that resembles more like a box, instead they will stay narrow on the sides of both my CM's. Midfield, on the midfield i like to have a role that focus on work rate and one that focus on playmaking and dependent on the players on my disposal i can have the playmaker the one that defends and the work rate player supports or vice versa , the playmaker supports and the work rate player defends at buxton this is what im using . Other combos that work well are DLP(D) with a BBM(S) with PI Tackle Harder, also BWM(D) with Roaming Playmaker(s) this one is very good if you have two players with high work rate, also there are other combos that will work well but my rule of thumb is a Tackler with a Playmaker Role. So this is how the tactic looks all together in terms of roles and duties. As for team instructions i like to keep it simple and have as few TI's as possible but that is not a hard and fast rule , its just the way i approach it. The ones that are really very important are the one's out of possesion. My team doesnt have the fastest central defenders but still i play with a very high line, why because i really want to compress the space, if you read about a mid block the n1 rule for a mid block is to have compactness , this does leave us vunerable to balls over the top, but ive noticed that this is well set for balls over the top as well so i dont suffer it that much but is a little risk to be mindfull of. And against better teams i will go with this So this is it as a bonus i will add my OI's that i use inspired by the other thread on the 4-4-2. When im winning i change the opossition centerback's to never press.

I want to replicate a pressing I saw in a video I will leave the video down below, I usually play 4-4-2 no matter what team I'm playing, I play very many different types of 4-4-2 I can say I've mastered that formation and it's my favorite to use, this video is an analysis of the villarreal press against Liverpool in the UCL last season, and my question is to achieve this type of pressing in FM23 what type of defensive line and line of engagement/block should I use, I have a pretty good idea on how can I make it press in a diamond by using the PI mark specific position (not player, because they retreat back in to a 4-4-2 although marking position won't be perfect but it will be close enough, my only doubt is on how can I set up defensive instructions like lines and if they step up or step down instructions.

This little edited version with the explanation was very good it cleared a lot of my confusion that's a great ideia appreciated

OK so a more rigid distribution of duties will achieve a more structured team shape I thought team fluidity meant noting since we can't fiscally alter it but thanks for opening my eyes, but does it work like it used to? By used to I mean if you are more fluid the team moves together but if you are more structured it creates more depth and separation?

I am trying to figure out the best way to play a Possesion based tactic, but I don't want sterile Possesion I want some goals created and good chances, but the question I have is how to create those passing Triangles and Diamonds and a structure team shape? And how can I monitor if it's working in terms of shape and passing Triangles, what analytic can I use in game the show me those Triangles and shape? I normally split my tactics with two or three attack duties 3 defend duties and the rest on support should I use more support duties in order to have a better team shape?
