First season with Sevilla I just missed out on the league by 2 points. Only lost 3 games but the draws let me down. Won the Spanish cup against Atletico. Have been using the striker version. Nasri had an average rating of 7.66, he was on fire. Hoping too do better in season 2, could be tricky with the Spanish giants spending big bucks on players.
 
About filters for 'striker tactic'
You consider:
- two center attacking midfielder or
- One left attacking midfielder and one right attacking midfielder?


I would use "left attacking midfielder" and "right attacking midfielder" filters, it looks logical to me :)
 
I would add to this that it's also very important to keep "Match Fit" all players in the team and not only your best 11 players and there are many way to do that but often people don't pay attention to that and that's why they get inconsistent results on long run distance

Very often, threre are 2 main reasons of poor results after a good start: 1) poor rotation of the team 2) lack of squad depth

You keep using your key players even they are tired or you give your key players a rest but their replacement is very poor quality, in both cases your results take a serious hit

So you have to rotate in every match? How many changes?

Mate, I’d say if you do these things right then it’s possible to win everything in this game even with any default tactic :).



1) Proper squad building:

- You should have at least 3 equal quality players for every position in the tactic, in order to be protected from injuries/bans/tiredness that inevitable happens during every season.

- It would be very poor squad building having 7-8 super star players and other 14-16 players in the team are much poorer quality than these 7-8 super star players because during the season you need to use all 22 players to achieve success and it’s much better when all 22 players are similar quality.







2) Keeping “Match Sharpness” of all players in the team at high level

“Match Sharpness” of any player in the team should not be less than 85% otherwise he won’t develop or even worse his attributes will be declining.

Obviously, it isn’t possible to give every player enough playing time to keep “Match Sharpness” above 85% so you need do make some players to be available for Reserve/U21 team

Please notice, that you shouldn’t move players to Reserve/U21 team because it’ll upset them, you need just make them available for Reserve/U21, also please notice that your Reserve/U21 might not have any matches at all or at some period so you need to make sure that it’ll have some matches and to do that you should go to its fixtures and arrange some friendly matches for your Reserve/U21 team.

3) Proper squad rotation:

The logic is very simple – the higher conditions of your players compare with your opponent’s conditions the more advantage they’ll get over the opponent in the match

So it would be smart to use “B” selection in some unimportant Cup Match or Champions League Match and then use your “A” selection in a league match.

Or It would be smart to use “B” selection in a home league match vs the weakest team in the league to keep the condition of players in “A” selection for more hard matches.

I took just few example but there might be a lot different situation when your successes depends on your decision when to rest your best players and when to use them

Well, for small teams, that way to do a squad isn't allways possible, in my opinion :)
 
Just a randoim question here: i am loaning out my 3rd choice wonderkid and i get the regualre fees, but i can add "future fee after matches played" and i put 1 million there, i presume it means if he plays 15 matches i get another million, not that they can buy him for 1 million after 15 matches?

Hi TFF

A very information post as always! Could you also give some tips how to develop young players in the best way?

Thanks! :)
 
Regarding development, i have been playing Balde as CB alongside Rugani and Rudiger most of the season rotating in Mbamba and Holding to avoid tiering the CB, but BNalde has gone from 5 star potential with 3 star CA to 3 star FP aswell, not developed any og his skills much at all and i wonder if i did something wrong here.... i have same issue with Tom Davies who i splashed 40mill on first season and hesmore or less spot on same lvl as he was when he joined 4 seasons ago ><
 
Oh ****! good thing i waited for reply here before accepting it lmao xD

something along these lines was in the morrata at juve loan deal last year, thats how i learnt about it

How are you going to have 33 players in the squad and the minimum that they do not play are getting angry? You can not have Neuer, Buffon and De Gea for a position
 
Who's been the best AMC currently Everton 2nd season and Barkley is smashing it rotating the other AND with Assensio (on loan) and Kuki. Have a 27m clause for Assensio from Real don't know if can get better though ( Using striker version)

i think he meant 22 players. Normally for a position, A : i will have a 25-30 age fully developed first team player, and B : a developing 21-25 age players for rotation. Then C : a 18-21 back up youngster to develop by subing them out. When the time goes by, then the B will become the new A, and you could sell your ex - A, and then the C will become your new B.

Guys, probably I should explain what I meant a bit clearly.

You really don't need to have a 33 players team to achieve situation when you have 3-4 players cover for every position.

I usually have a pretty small team that consists of 22 players with only 2 GKs.

When I said that you should at least 3 similar quality players for every position I didn’t mean that you should have exactly 3 different players for every position and when I said that I mean this:

Let’s take WBR position, I usually have 2 players that are main players for this position

For WBL position, I also usually have 2 players that are main players for this positions

All my players for WBR position learn to play at WBL position and vice versa all my players for WBL position learn to play WBR position.

So you have 4 players that can play WBL position and 4 players that can play WBR position.

Also, players for MCL/MCR positions should have similar attributes with players for WBL/WBR positions so it’s posible to train someone of your players for MCL/MCR position to play WBL/WBR positions.

The similar action should be done to increase squad depth for Central Defenders position and any other position in the tactic, for example, you inspect all your players for MCR/MCL/WBL/WBR position and pick such players that have the most suitable attributes to play Central Defender positions and train them to play there.

So every position in the tactic should be covered by 3-4 players and to achieve that you should not have 33 players, it easily can be done with a small team that consists of 22 players.




Well, for small teams, that way to do a squad isn't allways possible, in my opinion :)

Mate, I used improper word "equal" but I should used "similar quality" instead.

The main idea is not to have a big gap in quality between your "A" selection and "B" selection and you can achieve that with a small club and a big club it doesn't matter.

To illustrate what I said in that post here are few examples

In one of my saves I had Saul from Atletico de Madrid

Here are his attributes and the positions that he can play by default

Saul_Attributes.png


Saul_Default_Positions.png



Saul is left footed and has got only "Reasonable" rating for the right foot so by default he can cover following positions in this tactic: AMC/AMCR/MCL/CDL/CD positions.

But his attributes also suite well to play WBL position so I trained him to play WBL position and after that he was able to cover 6 positions in this tactic: WBL/AMC/AMCR/MCL/CDL/CD

Saul_New_Positions.png





Also, I had Daniele Rugani from Juventus

Here are his attributes and the positions that he can play by default

Rugani_Attributes.png


Rugani_Default_Positions.png


Daniel Rugani right footed and has got only “Reasonable” rating for the left foot so by default he can cover only 2 positions this tactic: CD/CDR

But his attributes also suite well to play MCR(BWM) position so I trained him to play MC position and after that he was able to cover 3 positions in this tactic : CD/CDR/MCR

Rugani_New_Positions.png







As I said If you do proper squad building and proper squad rotation then you can dominate this game and win everything with any average tactic and I’ve done that many times with tactics that were much weaker than Demolisher tactic because proper squad building and proper squad rotation gives you huge advantage over AI that is always poor at these areas, when you do proper squad building you are protected from unlucky injuries/bans streak but AI aren’t and when you do proper squad rotation then you always can have “extra” advantage over AI in some important match by using players that have Condition 3-5% more than the opposition player and that’s enough to have some solid advantage over AI in that match.

TFF - A quick question m8 on the striker version, Who as the most scoring opportunities the F9 or the 2 AM. So where should i put my best striker in the AM role or F9.


Mate, here's distribution of Goals and Assists in the Striker version after 85 matches, the same starting eleven was used for all 85 matches

Players at STC/AMCL/AMCR positions have identical attributes and the only difference between them is their main foot.

As you can see in the Striker version STC position scores almost as twice as often than AMCL/AMCR positions so it would be wise to put your best scorer at STC position.
