Who are your favorite signings so far?
sugarbear0511 replied to Dustman2015's topic in Good Player & Team Guide
Tommaso Baldanzi for 21M to Newcastle to replace Emile Smith-Rowe who is on loan but has a 206M optional buy clause. Baldanzi has been superb so far. -
I second this. Only by AI goals though Keeper won't try to collect the cross and it will go through defenders like they're not even there.

[24.2] Through balls in central positions
sugarbear0511 commented on Sunstrikuuu's issue in Player Behaviour
as of now I'd say that 14 out of 15 through ball to my striker that resulted in a goal is always offside. It's really frustrating especially if you have midfielders with 15+ pass, 15+ vison and 15+ decision. Almost all my goals now come from long range shot from outside the box. this is a bit ridiculous. -
the RNG is wild without it. The results will always favor clubs who don't have to play a lot of matches. For example I try the same tactic with newcastle and everton. Everton finished 3rd while newcastle struggled to finish 9th. They both have roughly the same quality if anything one can argue newcastle's squad have a better average CA but the schedule is killing them.

I'm just curious when you guys test tactics by going on holiday for the whole season do you use the editor to freeze players condition at 100%. It seems there's a big difference in results between team that play in europe and team that just compete in their own domestic league. big RNG variance here.

yes and my strikers are not sunday leaguers either, Isak and Osimhen. I think SI really tweak one on one situation to heavily favor goalies. My strikers have less than 50-50 chance I would say when one on one and only slightly better at converting tap ins. It feels like the 'place shots' trait is useless now. They keep trying to blast the ball into the net even at point blank range.
-
It will be interesting if someone can test if the individual attributes really make significant difference in performance like the work rate you mention or the difference in shots on goal between a striker with 20 finishing and 1 finishing. I do notice the lack of tackling this year. Defenders just wander around doing nothing, not marking or anything.

@knap thanks for all the tactics. I'm having a great first season right now using your MC 451 tactic with newcastle but I'm having a difficult time against weaker team that sit in low block 7-0-2-1 formation. I try lowering the tempo and turning on 'work ball into box' to be more patient and dominating possession but it's still not very consistent and I'm getting quite a bit of 0-0 even 0-1 losses against this negative formation. Do you have any suggestions?

I guess I'll just banish them to the U18 squad instead -
Are Goalkeepers underperforming in FM24?
sugarbear0511 replied to phd_angel's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
unusual number of mistakes by goalies. especially when they're not 100% match fit like when you bring in your back up to play a cup match against a league 2 side
