Not using your best player.

It literally just works.
The less sense the tactic makes, the better it is in this match engine.
Strucuted counter 442 doesn't have shit on this.

Actually quite unnerving how much Gary Neville's look like Gary Neville.
Get rekt Belgium
really makes you think
The second they drop Messi.
It's going to take forever for me to update this because I have contracts to do too.
I imagine pic related is going to retire sometime in this contract, so I'm going to offer him a decent one. He was only on £3,100 a week, so this should be a nice increase.
Why do clubs pay that much money for De Bruyne? He seems pretty average to me.

How long until Luxembourg are the best national side in the Low Countries?
>player gets injury in friendly I didn't mean to schedule
then why did you play anyone of value?
I was thinking of scheduling two friendlies during an international break, but I decided against it and left to do something.
when I got back I hit continue and only realized I had actually scheduled the other friendly after it was already played.
>try and attack against a 532
>lose
>play counter against a 532
>win
So is the correct response to ultra defensive formations to force them to attack you?
attack and overlap the wings
did you think going full attack on a team that plays counter work?
442
It works irl
West Ham's 3 at the back, Juve's 3 at the back. They all got beat by attacking sides
i ate the word would cuz im hungry lel
>5-3-2
>ultra defensive
That's literally designed to score 15 goals from the fast break, la
Not the way the cunts at fiorentina play
but rl footy is far more complex than FM, lad.
Ofc I now play attacking almost always and I beat very defensive teams, but that's just because I have GOAT players and because I tweak a little the tactics if I'm not scoring.
Is Enter the Gungeon good? The FOTM tag fell off and I need a palate cleanser before heading into my next season
It's good but I got bored after about 4 hours
Too heavy on bossfights being the only challenge
Binding of Isaac does the random dungeon side better and Nuclear throne does the shooty side better
I always thought irl football wasn't that complex.
seeing as it's difficult to tell footballers to play a good game and also to keep wide, work ball into box, look for overlap, higher tempo, (more) closing down etc etc all that shit
>I always thought irl football wasn't that complex.
Fm can't even properly handle pressing
Irl teams have detailed defensive schemes and plans
In FM you're basically always Roberto Martinez just telling your lads to tackle a bit and push up
>mfw people actually went "i-it's unrealistic to tell your players to push up to 14 and keep a 15 tempo" when Mike took out the sliders

Less choice is more freedom. :)
>dat file name
I didn't like sliders at all, they boiled down to gaming a system rather than managing a football team
But the alternative of zero depth is rubbish
this is what you call a journey
What's wrong with an AP (S) at AMC?
>2nd in Serie A with relegation favourites
>linked with top jobs
>"Yeah I might not fire you"
Thanks new chairman
Also irl he appears to be Crotone's chairman so he just swapped clubs.
You''d better not choke lad
Your forward-most forward most midfield playmaker is being asked to not go so forward
>The less sense the tactic makes, the better it is in this match engine.
Agree desu
This is widely successful for me even though it has a bunch of obvious flaws
this is nice
youtube.com
They also cut a link with a local amateur side that was just for a preseason friendly
woo
That's literally Juventus though
All about where you are when the final match is played
Sliders will be reintroduced in fm 2019 as a vintage fan favorite feature
I see what you mean. I'm playing it atm with AML/R (A) either side though, and Poacher up front, and it works. But I also have attacking full backs, and a BTB CM, so all the players around him are getting further forward
Yeah but my players are dogshit, Juve's are world class
In most formations FM won't let you succeed without packing the midfield if you're not great
had this geez as my assman for 6 years... do we depart or do I keep him on ?
I got him when we were in Conference North
yes
cant really find better actually
>favourites for game
>can give underdogs teamtalk
love this
Fire your assman every 2 years just because.
I don't run my clubs like oil companies mate
>not hiring an assman the same age as you and keeping him throughout your whole career so you can grow old and retire together
>not showing loyalty to your men
you make me sick, worse than reloading.
Mine got a manager job because I holidayed at the end of a season and he got manager of the month
>loyalty
>to literally the most retarded role in the game.
Though I will admit that I miss John, but that was for the best.
>the guy that manages friendlies so I don't have to
I love my assman no matter how asinine his advice is
Thoughts?
Your fault for holidaying.
>holiday
not this again
BINGO
>not holidaying during irrelevant cup games and late season games when you've already won the league to boost your assman's profile
Play to your players strengths
i.e. don't make guidetti a defensive forward
Gimme a sec to show you the difference between DLP(D) as a CM and as a DM.
>to boost your assman's profile
Does that actually work? Might try it if so.
I stole Guardiola's after Pep back chatted me.
>finally found another job
>tfw will be considerably less tribbling
goodbye NEETlife
>firing this beautiful son of a bitch
There you go. As you can see, their average positions is nearly identical and it's key: in FM, the formation implies mostly the defensive positioning of your team. DLP (D) in general sit very low, the lowest sitting role as CM with CM (D) and nearly the lowest sitting DM outside of HB. As a DM will sit just in front of the defence when defending while it will be in-between the other CMs and the defence in the CM strata. It will push higher up when the team has the ball while the DM version will sit very low regardless. I prefer the CM DLP (D) in a system where the team presses high.
Also, with their tracking and roaming BWM and BBM midfielders will ruin your defensive shape. WBss have to be on Attack to provide width, and DF with SS is retarded, period.
>tfw playing reserves and kids against the relegation team because I want the other team in the battle to get relegated
I'm gonna win 8-0. I just know it.
you could use an intentionally bad formation
