I actually just figured that out, should have noticed that one sooner. What else do you see that's conflicting? Thanks

This is more or less what I've been working with lately. I've been mixing up my tactics so as to keep the same one from getting stale but now nothing seems to be working. I've tried "Cross from deep" on my full backs but it hasn't helped. EDIT: Not those particular players in those positions...

Can anyone explain why my fullbacks only know how to dribble at their man and into the end-line before blasting a cross into the defender's legs? I'm playing as AC Milan and my offense is dependent on Carlos Bacca getting drilled crosses in the box. I was having great success with Abate...

I know that some roles require more dribbling/ ball retention than others, that's why I said apply "Dribble Less" wherever you see fit. Like you said, Target Men are going to hold on to the ball to play through teammates etc., but in terms of a regular CM/s or other roles that it can be applied...

I have also become frustrated at watching my players lose the ball in the midfield. I would recommend putting the "Dribble Less" PI on as many players as you desire if possible. I've been trying to construct a team that passes more quickly and efficiently to one another before trouble arrives...

In my own Milan save I bought Borek Dockal for 2mil. He's a great RW, has 17 free kick rating and hits them regularly, and has great mental and technical stats. I'm about to finish my second year and only a 3 month injury has kept him out of my lineup in that time. Kenedy had begun to displace...

You absolutely need a holding midfielder or you will get caught out time and again. Using two W(s) with two FB(s) is also not going to produce anything, as WJ said. Strive for balance across the field. One W(a) and one W(s) ideally. I tend to mix up my fullbacks as well with generally a CWB(a)...

Allan Nyom gets called up to the African Cup of Nations for an entire month, I play my backup RB for 5 games in a row while he's gone and he comes to me complaining of not getting playing time. Meanwhile it's January 23rd and he won't be back until February 13th and I have no option but to yell...

Zan Benedicic has become a reliable young BWM/DLP after a few years. He's 21 in my third season and still growing, though I don't play him regularly.

So, uh, I gave this a shot and started the game, walked away for a couple minutes, came back and it was 3-0 in the first 10 minutes. Works very nicely so far with my Milan team. Good stuff!

I've had a lot of success using two strikers with one as an advanced forward and the other as a false nine with a trequartista behind them. Lots of interplay and assisting between the three of them. They each had about 20-25 goals and 15-20 assists. That was in the Championship, I am about to...

I tried scrolling through to see if anyone has addressed this already but there's too many pages lol, so anyway, is there any specific pitch size required for optimal performance? I'm playing as Inter and there's about 5 different field size options, ranging from default narrow (115 L x 60 W) to...

This is actually working really well for me. Used Lennon's tactic to win a tough away game to Bordeaux and beat Man United 2-1 at home in the CL. Good find, thanks for the tip.

Hello, I just recently bought FM14 (Haven't had the money for it until Steam had it 50% off, thanks Steam!) and I decided to go with an above average team until I got used to the new ME, etc. I chose PSG and assumed I would be able to cobble together a tactic that they would be good enough to...

Halfway through my first season as Milan I bought Perrin for around 4.5mil and then also saw that Bardi was being released by Inter at the end of the year so I offered him a contract. Now I have both of them heading into season 2. I was originally just going to go for Perrin but I could not pass...
