Thanks for the reply, Ah okay, I thought it would be worth a try or doing something similar. Yes i've got that on Team Instruction sent to much more. I was hoping i'd get my wingers to close down, perhaps the Opposition Instructions and closing down the defenders and tight marking may help.

Hi, i'm making a 41221 formation and my aim is to play a gegenpressing tactic. I've got my AML/AMR on Inside Forward (attack) and i want them to close down much more but unfortunately my only options are closing down less and much less. What is the best role to have on my AML/AMR as i want...

Thanks for the response, i'll read it better tomorrow when i play FM but from what i've read, i agree and understand with what you're saying. Some very good points made.

I've just scanned it but will have a proper read of this tomorrow morning (it's late). Thanks very much for the response. I think i just need to be a little more pro-active, take more notice of the player ratings and the zones they're attacking with. I'm already a fair few games into the season...

Hi, I've played FM for a fair few years, i'm not great at the game but i'm okay. Just a question regarding tactics/pre game/during game Tactics : How do you decide what formation/team instructions you use for your team, Pre Game : Do you change formation/team instructions depending on the...

Thanks for the response, I shall try that, I usually have a rest day after each game but i'll try do that too

I think i do that already, might have to re check about 2nd fitness coach. Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for the response mate. Yeah it's auto set to rest day after a match, even considered doing 2 rest days. Yeah i do around 93%+ to start.

How do you deal with player condition if you're in the Champions League? I'm in La Liga in the 2nd season and i think in La Liga you can only register 21-22 players but i could be wrong. But with Champions League, my players condition is never really 93%+. What is the lowest you start a player...

Hi, I'm currently managing in La Liga and i'm in the 2nd season so i'm in the Champions League. My questions are: 1) How often do you rotate for league games before and after Champions League fixtures? 2) What is the lowest fitness you actually start your player on? My team seems to be 74-76%...

Thanks, I'll take a look shortly, is it possession based? I saw a few of your videos i think when i was typing "Football Manager 2017 on YouTube"

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had any success with 3 at the back but without any wing backs? I've already done 31411 with Koln and i really enjoyed it but i fancy a different formation with a different team in the Bundesliga? Ideally i normally do low tempo, structured and retain...

Apologies, realised i typed 2D, I meant 3D.

Hi, Sorry if the incorrect thread. I deleted my preferences folder earlier as i made my squad not be in position order from when team selected but it's now fixed. But since then, i noticed my match engine in 2D is quite laggy, but it was fine before. Anyone know why maybe? Doubt there will...

Thanks for your tips mate. I shall take a look, i do tend to use my ST as an AF. Just testing with Bologna (keep going on holiday to game but installed my tactic) 3-2-4-1 with 2 CDM(BWM) 2 LM/RM and AMCL/AMCR and i won away to AC Milan 1-0 with 58%. Tried it with a higher defensive line to see...
