Interesting. I know it really depends but what would you say it's the thing you change the most regarding the attacking aspect during the match? Do you ever change mentality for example? Because that changes a lot of things at once. What you said about the defensive transitions, what you really mean is that you also change it before the match begins (defensive line, low/mediu/high block, trigger press)?

Yeah I understand and I guess that's the correct way to do it. Unless you're really bad at reading the game as I do That's why I always use it depending on the formation they use

Do you guys automatically go for narrow width if the other team is playing a flat 442 for example or wide if they're playing a 352? Or do you normally start all the games on normal and change based on what you see during the game?

The shorter one, does he has higher jumping reach? Given the good headers won %

What formation are you using?

That's what I read most of the time regarding AMC position, that the player have a better contribution and ratings when playing with an attacking duty there.

For the past few years I've always read that AMC position it's not consistent and the players underperform most of the times, no matter how good his attributes are. Do you guys still find that same issue?

How often do you guys use hit early crosses option? Does it make sense to use it in a low/medium block? It doesn't mean that the team will constantly be pumping crosses into box but when there's a clear advantage in numerical numbers?

Can those negative hidden attributes change with time? Or at least the consistency one? Does mentoring help with that?

Always enjoy a good 442 thread. Even tho I'm playing an older FM version, I'm using a flat 442 for quite some time now, to have those quick direct counters I really enjoy. I'm not as adventurous as you, I use a B2B instead of CM(a). Upfront I use two attack duties DLF and AF. Whats interesting is that the DLF has the comes deep trait, so he's aggressive attacking the space with attacking duty but still comes deep sometimes. Most of my players have good jumping reach, which is really hard to find but it's important for the way I like to play. I love when the keeper take those long kicks, the player wins the aerial challenge and an excellent chance for a quick counter happens.

I've been using someome with low aggression but high bravery for a few games and he's been getting good ratings. Good tackling, positioning and antecipation too

Someone pls

How much do you care about aggression for someone in a BWM role?

@HanziZoloman you're really advanced in the game. Have you been on the same team since the start and what are those numbers after the name?

I still play FM21 and I don't think it's bad as what I see from FM24

Good to know there some of you still play it. I feel less alone Great. Same year here, with Groningen

Just to check if anyone does still play FM21 or I'm alone in here

You don't have to. I'm free to give my opinion, as everyone else. I wasn't criticizing, everyone play the game their own way, obviously.

I always avoid that. Playing with 3 central strikers its not realistic and it takes advantage from ME, I guess. I'm not saying its cheating but kinda.

Guess not

Isn't that normal? Since one is off the ball and the other is the general one. I just didnt know which one is better to demonstrate so Ive used both images

Hi. Does this looks like a low block to you? Off the ball average positions: General average positions:

Oh how I miss those good old days, playing with mentality sliders, trying the nike defence and so on

Should you be limiting Ronaldinho to such a short passing game? Given is insane attributes.

@crusadertsaryou didn't post some of your matches stats that I've asked you a few weeks ago
