(not at my laptop so im using rate my tactic) tempo is middle and no work ball into box ticked in the base tactic, i only ticked them in my last 2 games when they kept taking pointless long shots from way out when they could've clearly passed it. neither TIs made a difference, i just turned my PC off when we had 8 long shots from 11 by half time. IW, CM, Mez all have high composure, work rate, teamwork, decisions plus high passing and vision.

like? i switched it back to a WB/A and we started winning again

switching my LB to FB/A results in going from demolishing teams to creating 0 chances and losing every game

its quite literally just a goalkick. no, sometimes its my other winger doing that.

please just look at the gk screenshot. my LW is treq and hes pressed up while my rw is at the halfway line. this has nothing to do with my treq, i play IW, IF there too. more often than not i have 1 player back whos supposed to be pressing on the GK. already have mark tighter on front 3 and the 2 CMs

just look at my RW bro... my treq has 18 work rate and 13 aggression. i also don't always play him as Treq. has nothing to do with my roles. we press just fine except for GKs where there's always 1 attacker wildly out of position.

on opposition GK every time one of my player is out of position: vs on my goalkicks:

yes, fairly wide + DLP instructions + higher LOE but left DL on standard as my CBs are on the slower side. no luck trying attacking mentality now, still not creating chances but am somehow scoring more for example 2 goals from .1 xg and barely did anything all game, 4 goals in another match from .86 xg. we're just not creating chances ourselves.

ive switched my RCM to a CM/a and kept my DLF/a. still can't create chances unless i play with an AF , just relying on being clinical and scoring every tiny chance we get. i've brought in a really good IF and he keeps getting 6.1-ish rating every game. i hate AFs in FM, they're overpowered, you dont need a brain to score playing an AF, i've always scored way more than i should've with an AF. my AF at my last club scored 192 goals in 257 games and the guy did NOT have the attributes to do so.

hard disagree. +500 hours in fm22, it has the same issues that are in many previous fm games that they just refuse to fix. so i'll probably have to play an advanced forward type i guess cause i prefer 2 support duty CMs. my Mez/s has really good attributes and already has gets forward whenever, beats offside trap, gets in opposition box yet still doesn't offer enough penetration but on attack duty just mindlessly bombs forward.

FM21 my winger is really just a dribbly boy, very high dribbling and speed and crossing, really poor finishing. wide players in FM are just a joke, they beat their man then wait for them to catch up just to slam a cross into them. the amount of times hes in space to cross and doesn't makes me wanna rage quit. CM/a + DLF/a hasnt been much better but + PF/a or AF has created more chances and penetration, maybe i need a truly world class DLF/a to make it work. im using play down right to open up a cross field switch to the LW who has gets forward whenever, gets in box, breaks offside trap, and my RCM and RB both have +14 passing, technique, and likes to switch ball.

bell is a wonderkid but not a standout yet, gonzalez lacks dribbling and strength.

still unable to create anything, under .5 xg most games.

tried it for a few games and still can't really create much. main issue i think is the lack of players attacking the box in the final third with the DLF offering himself as a passing option instead of being a goal scoring threat. if i want to keep playing a DLF, im guessing playing a CM/a or Mez/a instead of a Mez/s is my only option for more penetration in the final third cause my winger is purely just a dribbly boy

mid table side, striving for Europe. nothings really clicking. usually we manage some nice passing to progess the ball forward then someone decides to punt it or play some non existent hollywood pass to nobody. we've only score from set pieces in 8 games against mostly similar sides and a couple goals from long balls behind while playing with an AF. tried CM/a RCM and DLP on support in a cup game against a smaller, we managed to create more but we were pushing more bodies forward and im thinking that would get punished in the league.

another game filled with non sensical plays; keeper throwing the ball back to the opposition, first time long shots from FAAAR out, CBs ignoring open midfielders, clearing for no apparent reason, 6 jumping 5 strength striker winning headers against our CBs, but this last one just made me rage quit - throw-in at opposition's corner flag, my player throws it directly back to their player for a counter, my right CB decides to rush all the way across...

they seem like they don't know how to play in certain games. when the tactic works, it works, when it doesnt, it's like watching kids play football. it's hard to explain. in the "good" games, the same player in a similar scenario would make the "logical" play whereas in the "bad" games he would do something that doesn't make sense such as clearing when under no pressure, not passing to the next logical player and instead go for a bad long pass, getting into crossing situations then making a long pass back to the DM, high agg and bravery stopper CB stepping away from a long ariel ball to let the opposition ST control it, throw-ins directly back to the opposition etc etc.

3-0 against a mid table side 1-1 labored against another mid table side 6-2 against a top 6 side 0-3 amateur performance against a mid table side 4-0 against a relegation battle side 1-0 two total highlights against a relegation side it has just been a yo-yo of performances. playing entertaining football, making logical plays in one game to absolute duds, making literally illogical plays the next game. similar scenarios in either game but result in the opposite plays.
