always use general/average for testing
View attachment 118494
i actually had a lot of money left to spend at the end of the summer window. only bought kurzawa coz gaya got injured but then forgot to register him lol
as i'm testing i know it wont be a long run save and i offer a lot of money after 50 games / 50 goals and next transfer percentage so that i can save up on money paid up front.
i dont like playing unrealistically so i dont go around offering 30 or 40M after 50 games, but i do play around with it as i like to build teams at my own image, so i'm not affraid to sell 75% of a squad.
squad building has always been my favourite part of the game, only in recent years have i played around with tactics
did your defence remain solid and did the defenders actually make a diference going forward?
im loving my brazilian based liverpool
felipe anderson is a GOD on the right wing and alex teixeira is a near perfect SS. love fred too, he can play in so many positions due to his all round stats and playing with either foot. i once adapted him as a complete wingback and he was a superstar!gazzahutch

does match preparation stay as match tactics or do you change to def positioning or attacking movement?
my assistant manager is handling match training
cheers! anyone else find the first version to work better for them?

****, I have done pretty much the same transfers as you, veez (except for Giménez and Kurzawa, went for a goalie instead, Karius got injured and Mignolet is disappointing as SK)
I have just started it with Leicester. Sold slimani, Ulloa, Huth and Morgan. Replacing them at the moment so will see how it goes.
Veez is back.
Wide midfielders were really good on FM16 and from the 4-4-2 (2DM) that I tried and looking at your results it looks like they're still really good. I tried to see if I could sneak them into a 3 at the back formation and get them to do enough defending but even on very fluid they don't end up contributing defensively enough so I scrapped that idea. If you're having success using two SS I'd also be really interested to see how things work out using a 4-4-2 with 2 DMs and then two shadow strikers instead of forwards like I'd been using.
I saw some people mentioning low crosses, I'd definitely stick with those. I haven't had much success with whipped crosses or crosses from deep this year; low crosses and cross from the byline individual instruction seem to be the most successful combination for me so far. It probably won't make a lot of difference but you might try your GK on SK(D); with two SSs you're not going to be winning much in the air anyways so having the SK just distribute it short to your CBs more as opposed to trying to hoof it up to start a counter might work better over the course of a match.

I think having two playmakers in the same area of the pitch usually isn't that beneficial , I would try DLP(D) + DM(S) to start with. I've never used the RPM role outside of in-game adjustments so I'm less sure what the best role to pair with that would be, although I'd lean towards DM(D) or HB since the RPM ends up pushing really far forward during possession. 2x DM(S) was fairly solid for me as well.
I'm allmost halfway through my second season now with Liverpool, and have used the latest version since the start of season 2. This is more like it. My team is actually playing very nice football, the low crosses and the flexible shape made all the difference to me. We're playing really well, solid defence, and scoring goales like crazy. Now the results actually reflects the gameplay.
Changing the ap to central mid has also proven effective.
Have ofc done a few transfers to better suit the tactic aswell, but mainly the tweaks thats done the difference

awesome!
i have reached the same conclusions with my first season at liverpool with the flexible tactic, 2 games away from finishing the season and will post some screenies of my results.
thanks for pointing out what you did and motivating these tweaks

Lol, the tweaks were all you mate, I only complained about a couple of things

it takes a wise man to only complain about the right things
