[[FM23] Creating chances in a 532]

Hello all,

After a while of playing a bunch of careers with 433/4231 tactics, I have decided to switch it up and do one with a main 532 tactic. My goals here are to make a similar tactic to that of Ole Werner at Werder Bremen in real life, fast paced, more direct, counter attacking football. However, playing through games, I barely get any chances, or possession, and keep getting destroyed by the opponents. What am I doing wrong? Attached is my tactic

I would strip everything back to normal roles and get rid of all of the team instructions except one core idea, say play out of defence then work on it from there and add more tis if you need them.

Who will score goals for you? How will you supply them? Where are the gaps when you attack and who will fill them?

It all seems a bit too complicated to me.

You have an APM feeding one player basically. DLF and SS compliment each other, that part should work in theory.

 

So I've adjusted it slightly, would changing the AP(s) to an AP(A) or SS(a) change the effect of it, and if i change the DLF to a TF/CF would it also enable for space to be created? (thinking along the lines of Spurs with Kane/Son/Lucas Moura)?

So I've been trying to replicate a Graham Potter type Brighton tactic but have had little success with it. The team doesn't create any chances or retain possession, and I do not understand where I am going wrong. From analysis the DLF is very weak in terms of collaboration and impact but I dont know how to fix that. Any tips on how to improve this tactic to make it more competent going forward and to score some goals would be appreciated

[[FM 22] Unleashing Die Wolfe: The Rise of Wolfsburg]

 

 

Wolfsburg are in trouble.

The club sits 13th, just 5 points off a relegation spot, and has lost 3 games on the bounce, dragging them back into a relegation fight few predicted at the start of the season.

After having sacked Mark Van Bommel only 13 games into his tenure, the club has now once more pressed the eject button, sacking Van Bommel's replacement Florian Kohfeldt, as they look to somewhat salvage what has been a horrendous season for the Saxon club.

The rumored replacement is the former Norwich City boss, Daniel Farke, himself out of work after leaving Russian club Rostov without having managed a single game, eager to prove his worth after his disastrous exit from East Anglia...

 

 

Will Farke take the job? Will he redeem himself in the face of his critics? Will he save Wolfsburg and take them to the top of German football? We will soon find out

[FM21- Tyneside Revival: A Newcastle Career]

Being an avid Football Manager player, and having been inspired by others posting, I decided to start my own journey to share with everyone. A journey on Tyneside. Newcastle United.

One of England's most stories clubs, Newcastle United are a team that have been in crisis for a very long time. Mismanaged by Mike Ashley, gone are the days of Les Ferdinand, David Ginola, Alan Shearer, and Champions League nights. Gone are the title fights, the iconic Keegan rants. Nowadays on Tyneside, for over a decade, ever since Ashley's acquisition of the club in 2007, Newcastle United have seen multiple relegations, sackings, horrific football, you name it. A far cry from the 90s, when Newcastle would challenge for trophies and break the world transfer record on Alan Shearer. Despite Ashley's best attempts to sell the club, a rumored Saudi takeover by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman fell apart after the 2019/2020 season. This, of course, occured after yet another relatively mediocre, yet comfortably mid-table finish, in their 3rd season back in the top flight after their promotion in 2017. With that, seeing no hope for himself, or for Newcastle, manager Steve Bruce decided to mutually part ways with the club. 

Who would be his replacement?

 

The man chosen to take the reigns on Tyneside? Gary Neville. Yes, the Manchester United legend, former failed Valencia boss, and current Sky Sports pundit. Contacted by Mike Ashley after Bruce's leaving, Neville was quick to agree to terms to take control of the Magpies. Despite frustration from the Toon Army that Neville would be another failed manager, following in the footsteps of Alan Pardew, John Carver, Steve McClaren, and Steve Bruce, it was done. The True Geordie himself remarked "Well, surely he cannot be worse than Steve Bruce". Only time will tell, though.

 

The aim:

Get Newcastle into Europe within 5 seasons

Win Newcastle their first major trophy since 1955

Win the league

Revamp the largely mis-used youth academy

 

Can Gary Neville bring back glory to Tyneside? Will he fix his managerial legacy? Will Mike Ashley sell the club? Keep up to find out!

Looking to start a save in Spain, narrowed it down to Valencia and Real Sociedad. Anyone know how they are doing in the future in your saves?

[[FM21] Teams to manage]

Hi all,

After consistenly doing a process of starting and ending saves before even getting to the first matchday, a RTG with Derby County, and after doing a successful save with Milan, ending in a treble win in 2024, I'm looking for a medium-sized challenge in any of the big 5 nations or possibly even their second tiers. Looking for a team that isn't title-winning quality, has some quality but does need a bit of a rebuild. Any suggestions are welcome!
