How do I figure out where I lost possession? I go on the analytics screen and it's a fucking mess.

>How do I figure out where I lost possession?
I mean you watch the match to see how it happens. In the highlights.

It's to the point where even on comprehensive it's all them. I have 40% possession and I might be 1/10 of the highlights.

So this game is just FIFA with shit graphics right? Why would someone play this?

I can't afford FIFA.

left my team mid season during a takeover

am i a bad person?

How on Earth did he become a PL player. All of the tekkers but no brain whatsoever.

>Flair 19

he's more brazilian than any brazilian player

Wet Spam just paid 22.5M€ for that faggot, so I can't even get rid of him immediately. Well he's in the "Others" group, so I suppose I could shaft him if I can get a replacement.

Look at who I can't get back from loan either? Fuck's sake.

How do you guys handle scouting?

Do you let your chief scout set assignments or do you do it?

I've been letting my chief scout do it and nothing good has come up. I've been giving him short term focuses of the kind of players I need (fullbacks) but again, I'm still having to swipe fucking forwards and shit on tinder.

>90+2
>90+6
>90+7
You've got to be shitting me. I didn't even see the last goal, it didn't even take my changes in account befroe the highlight was over. I don't know how they scored.

F

alfa or the weird kid?

LARGE DF11 IMAGES WHEN

use the player search function, scouts are worthless at finding qt players

sounds like an alpha af autist to me. if he was normie alpha he would be the team leader but all he wants is staying alone and enjoying himself.

So just leave my scouting responsibility on my chief scout with a general focus?

set the assignments yourself and use these functions

no homo

>Scousers
I would've never dared to play a 3-4-3 Diamond in FM17 due to how I got raped countless times on the wings, so seeing this happen was a pleasant surprise.

but liverpool can't defend anyway

nothing left to play for but at least the title fight is pretty good

I have a tactic for a 4231 wide and a 4141.

When should I use one or the other? The 4141 when I'm away? The 4231 when I'm the clear favorite?

formations don't mean much, roles, mentality, team shape and team instructions are far more important

why would someone play fifa?

I think my player injured himself celebrating winning a penalty shootout? He scored the winning peno then I got mail saying he was out for 5 days

I have high hopes for this lad.

>get penalty
>try to change player
>original player still takes it
>they miss
ty michael

What should I develop him as? I picked Mezzala because it covers all the nice stats.

What do I do against this team based off of this analysis?

nothing can cure englishness

Here's hoping he can live up to his potential since he's the only good goalkeeper prospect I have. May even become a first team player next year.

>first touch 4
>passing 1
>technique 2
>composure 5

you need to forbid him from touching the ball with his feet

Those stats are comparable with the old man goalie I have now. But I'm hoping some of his stats will fill out a little more of course. His loan spell did him a lot of good and he even made team of the week a few times.

I would like to give him some better mentoring though. While my gk did pass down good determination it also gave him a volatile personality and his ambition stat seemed to just grow on in his loan spell.

creating a new game

What are you playing senpai?

Does anyone actually even bother with the tactical briefings?

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVER NEED SCROLL DOWN BARS ON EACH ATTRIBUTE SECTION? LOOK AT ALL THAT WASTED SPACE AT THE BOTTOM. NOW I CAN'T TAKE A SINGLE SCREENSHOT TO DISPLAY ALL ATTRIBUTES BECAUSE 1/5 OF THEM ARE FUCKING HIDDEN.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

fuck fm18

So, we're actually stuck with five different shitty 3D hair styles and all the work that went into hair packs is now wasted, they are obsolete.

Why Miles, just why are you doing this to me.

It's your screen resolution.

Bravo Miles

Even if it is, here's a screenshot from fm17 with the exact same resolution as whatever the fuck resolution I use on fm18.

Posting from work, when will they release the mobile version?

I'VE GOT YOUR NAME WRITTEN HERE IN A ROSE TATTOO

Fucking hell.

With 9 (10 if I get to the CL final) he can beat his record of 80 goals in a season, too.
I'll never get tired of posting him because he's arguably the best pure striker I ever had in FM

>With 9 (10 if I get to the CL final)
I meant matches obviously

>city of Madrith

post your FM18 manager

How is he only estimated at 27m?

Because I manage in Belgium and I can't seem to get the reputation of the whole league up all by myself so the values of players are relatively low and no one gets past 30m

How comfy is an amateur Gibraltar save, now that half the teams are at least semi-pro level?

Where do you add/remove leagues in 18? Can't find it lol

Same as always

I must be blind because I can't find it on any screen

Literally same place as always, main drop down menu top right middle of the menu next to add manager

>both extensions are from FaceGen, which apparently was used for Fallout 3 and Oblivion

There might be hope for modded hairpacks

T-thanks SI

Explains why the faces look so bad then

Which are the best skins to use in FM?

SKINS WHEN?

Skins are cancelled for FM18
t. Mike

Instant Result skin is out

B-But I play FM15
Cant run FM18

>play my backups against second div side in frinedly
>real trouble to even draw. lose like 3-0

h-heh its just p-preseason so no w-worries

And so, the record is officially broken

Redpill me on Instant Results.

Good for friendlies and early cup runs you don't give a shit about

Also if you want to take control of youth teams tactics/lineups but don't care about the game itself

we worked so hard so you just have to use our skin

TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

meanwhile the manlet is retiring

...

Just rage deleted my FM17
fuck borussia

>tfw lost against the U19 squad ft. two or so 3rd string backups

Do players who don't like big games belong in the trash or is it manageable?

>the one time I don't have a goalkeeper on the bench
>the goalkeeper gets injuried in the 10th minute
>put up a CB in his place and hope for the best

>gk is out with a damaged shoulder and will miss the CL final

Depends, could still be good for 75% of the season

think of it this way

it's like having a gf who refuses to suck

it's still a gf

but she doesn't suck

>preferred born
wat, why

i think i'm gonna faceroll serial in the first half a season

I had TSUUUU retire, become the youth coach for Aston Villa and see them lift the EPL title under Samuel Eto'o's coaching.

[spoiler]All that still wouldn't cure Phil's racism[/spoiler]

He's finally done it la.

>second choice gk gets injuried in training a day later
Looks like I'm only left with my third choice gk, nice

Why not just let the assistant handle friendlies then?

>These results
>Still the biggest payroll in the league
>Media Expectation: 2nd

Is the Saudi purge scripted to happen in FM12? They sacked two managers in this process Laudrup and Mihajlovic were on the block. I never see a club this big go on permanent suicide watch.

Because Instant Result has match plans (from aggressive/attacking to full bus-park) as well as the option of letting assman take over

Letting assman do whatever he wants means your tactics aren't used

>a 7-0 loss to West Ham

???

So is 2018 good or not? I never fully trust Steam reviews for FM >games because most people just seem upset they aren't Peak-Pep or last years cheese is stale.

this

or this

this one

Easily the best and most realistic in the series thus far

>4.5 star regen
>born in my real life hometown

BUYBUYBUYBUY

another option

next friendly i used my new tictoc and won 2-1...

bench em in big games just to be sure maybe late sub for fresh legs

jesus christ
