Thanks, I appreciate the offer

However I'm hoping to get cracking on 4 new files in the near future to round my project off at 40 UEFA files. These will include Champions League winners qualifying for the following season (Europa League too, if it works properly).

I'm having a go at file 32 at the minute to get champs league winners to qualify for next season's competition. It doesn't seem to be working. How could I go about doing it? If I had some simple steps I might succeed. Thanks in advance Carlito.

As always I used your Revival project as base for mine. Did the classic format (all ties)

 

European Cup - 55 teams (54+previous winner)

UEFA Cup - 120 teams

Cup Winners Cup - 54 teams

Let me know if you wanna use it. It's compatible with the new clubs World Cup (2 finalists from European Cup, and the winners of UEFA Cup and Cup Winners Cup)

How did you manage to get the defending holders of the European Cup into the next season's competition? I've had no luck myself. Are Liverpool and City in your 2019/20 European Cup? I'd love to give it a go.

Thanks.

I haven't been able to yet due to my graphics card acting up. I'm hoping to get some more work done over the next week or two though once I get it replaced.

Bloody graphics cards! I'm currently going with the 1997- 2000 CL format that includes 8 runners up. That gets the European Champs in at least for 19/20 and there's no more than 2 representatives per country. The file is a good compromise. Thanks again.

Hi Carlito. Did you have any luck with getting the Champions League winners to automatically qualify for the following season's Champions League tournament regardless of final league position? I had a go at the 1995-1997  Champions League format i.e. national league winners only, 4 groups of 4 followed by quarter finals. I was able to get Liverpool into the 2019-20 CL as first seeds but unfortunately City took the Reds place in the UEFA Cup. That was just a temporary fix and I'd be afraid to get into the save, win another European Cup with Liverpool but won't be able to try and retain it because I didn't also win the Premier League. Many thanks.

Thank you. Really appreciated. I tried myself but I don't have a breeze what I'm doing!

Which files are you using? I'll take a look at them.

Also, when you say the Champions League winner is playing in the UEFA Cup because of their league position, are they in the Champions League as well? None of the files I made have the Champions League winner automatically qualifying for the Champions League in the following season. I couldn't get it to work properly.

This is top class work. The 80s and 90s formats prior to the expansion of the Champions League to take in non- champions run really interest me.The icing on the cake would be if the European Cup champions could defend their title the following season regardless of final league position. I had a go myself but I really don't know what I'm doing. I remember Mauvais editor files for the old European Cup/ original CL formats from FM2016 got the defending champions in the following season. The thread was titled "European Cups 90s" if you're interested. Many thanks.

1) whats the difference between Fluid counter attack and Structured counter attack?

2) Also whats the difference between gegenpress and control possession? I guess both are aim to win back possession immediately with high pressing right?

 

1. Fluid counter attack= Arsenal Invincibles would be best example I can think of. A structured counter attacking team from that era would be Houlliers Liverpool.

2. Gegenpress looks to counter attack quickly when the ball is won. Control possession looks to hold onto the ball. May be best for dragging a very defensive team out of shape to create chances or holding onto a lead without sitting back to deep. I reckon that because both defensive lines would be high up the pitch they would need to counterpress.

These tactical changes alone are worth buying FM2019. Also, should the proposed link work between your tactical style and the new training module, which in itself is long overdue, I believe this edition will go down as revolutionary. A small thing for me would be a more intuitive DOF in terms of transfers and contract renewals and with the possibility of tactics, training and DoF working together, I believe SI will have made huge strides in creating a realistic simulation of modern football management

Possibly Hazard's role at Chelsea?

Yes I can see that. Would maybe need to add roam from position if that's possible to make a world class winger the creative fulcrum of the team in a structured shape. He needs to be given total freedom. I would like to combine a player like that with a Raumdeuter on the other side. I hope to be able to turn this new wide Treq into a combination of a Treq/ Advanced Playmaker (wide).

So basically a inverted winger is a Inside Forward into the ML/R spot. The mezzala is a kind of Box-To-Box with less defensive responsabilities but that will occupy the half space in the final third. I can not see the sense of having a Trequartista on the flanks, I've never seen one IRL. Giving the opportunity to underlap is quite intersting, especially when you use a winger and an IWB, the IWB will underlap the Winger dragging out a defender or offering a possible passing opportunity. Any news about some fixes on the role like the Half Back?  

Hard to think of a Trequartista out wide currently playing. Two that I can think of from the past are John Barnes and John Robertson. Both had the freedom to either go down the line or cut inside so not exact examples. Robertson was definitely the playmaker in Forest's European Cup winning teams.
