Its fun to see.... but possession for its own sake becomes self-defeating. The only possession-specific tactic I created for FM19 was great in that regard, but didn't create enough. Its cool to have your playmaker with almost 200 completed passes in a match and two other players with over...

When they hit 200 completed in a match is where I want to stand and applaud. Entirely possible.

Yeah, they will often try to bypass the midfield with those passes. Long, scything passes up the middle. Not short touches to the DM. That's more the Team Instruction of Play out of Defense.

You gents hit the mid-year point, by chance?

The unit that the players in matters when it comes to mentoring. Attacking players will train more with other attacking players, and same for defensive players. So a senior player from one unit mentoring young players from the other is going to be less effective, because they literally spend...

Moved on from my Mineiro save and decided to tackle Lobos BUAP in Mexico. I've had a few good saves with them on past versions. But the last one on FM18 was kinda buggy. Hoped they had fixed it since I reported it, but appears to be a hard nope. Lobos are a university club (there are a few...

Are you looking for someone who will be an upgrade on Leno, or just a backup who can provide reliable cover? That will make a BIG difference in the kind of options we can suggest.

No problem at all for the help. I love the new training module on FM19 but I'm still far from expert at it. I started out leaving the training to the AssMan and it was done well enough. I created a set of schedules (time-consuming and a real pain to load into another save), and then a second...

Agree with what WJ says. You have to realize that the suitability indicator is just the game "reading" skillset, not the game saying they cannot play another role. You might have a perfect box-to-box player but because their aggression and tackling are a bit higher, the game says they are better...

Adding in restrictions that you must abide is a good one. Can also come up with a list of specific accomplishments that you want to hit. Stuff like winning back-to-back European titles, go undefeated thru the league, etc. Those can give a bit more meaning to the dominance you can find at big clubs.

Not too much rage here, so its kinda like a save update, but whatevs. So I manage in some kinda weird places. Russia has become on of my favorites, and my go-to club there is Lokomotiv Moscow. I've grown to support them as a second club in real life, and they won the title last year. I was...

You've given us absolutely nothing to go on. How exactly are we supposed to help? Give us some tactical details, as much as possible, so there is at least something to attempt to analyze. Bear in mind that it might be purely down to the new patch. Something that is often overlooked is that club...

Big clubs regularly do that, whether its developing players who they don't give time to and never will or fully developed players who are just on the fringes. Big clubs keep buying and that pushes players who could and should be starts out. Or the newcomers sit and rot. If you are at a...

Agree with Cookie. Its not REALLY a gegenpress. In defending and transition it is, but the attacking Team Instructions are a bit muddled. The general application of the gegenpress is about lightning fast attacks, and playing a possession game isnt' really that. Even at an upped tempo. But...

Those 0MB "updates" can be them switching things around already in the game, so its just a line of code or two. Things like changing out the boardings you see in the Match Engine, etc. So my newest save is my first foray into Serie A in a long, long time. Was eying Atalanta and actually...
