One of them has that PPM and it isn't having much of an affect.

Ok so going for a very fluid possession based style with NUFC (Think Pep at Man City). The formation is as follows : 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-2-1 as FM calls it Gayle(AF) Atsu Richie (W-Att) (IF...

A good point. I'm in preseason having just been promoted to the premier league. I've signed a forward more suited to an advanced forward role than a poacher (I chose this role as i wanted him on the shoulder of the defenders so they couldn't push up on the player i had in the attacking mid...

Tried that and they still do not get forward far enough or break the last line of the other teams defence. Changing to attacking also means i concede more goals

Thanks for the reply. The mentality is set to Flexible. Forgot to mention that.

Okay so playing with Leeds United and doing well in the Championship however there is one part of the tactic i cannot get to work. I will give some basic information GK CB(D) CB(D) CB(D) WB(Au) WB(Au) CM(At)BWD(D)CM(At)...

Tried EXACTLY that. Actively sought out players with excellent work rate and passing also

I went with 4-3-2-1 in my first season. Krul in goal obviously Santon FB (Auto) Taylor CD (Stopper) Yang-Mbwia CD (Cover) Debuchy FB (Auto) Tiote BWM (Support) Cabaye DLP (Defend) Sissoko BBM (Support) Ben Arfa AP or AM (Support) Gouffran or Felipe Guitterez AM (Attack) Cisse/Remy P (Attack) I...

I only added 2 players to the squad second season so cohesion shouldn't be the problem. My guess would be the settings in FM 2014 don't allow you to directly match the high pressing/counter football dortmund play. They press high up the pitch and try to use pace and vertical passing , when...

Yeah i know it would work better dropping off but given the high work rate of the team it seems a waste and very reactive to drop off. A lot of teams now press the ball high up and counter. Dortmund being the best example. Can a high line /press and counter tactic work does anyone know ? It...

The only instructions are the that the two centre backs play it short and that Cabaye,Ben Arfa etc (Those with high passing etc) try more risky passes. I never have much possession which is fine but i was shocked at how well the tactic worked first season and how poor it was in the second (with...

First season as Newcastle i wanted formation which could take advantage of the excellent midfield options whilst allowing me to to use the pace of Remy,Ben Arfa , Gouffran and Cisse. Set up in a 4-3-2-1 Narrow - (Can't do a print screen) (Cisse) (p) Ben Arfa Felipe Guitterz (AP)Att...
