So you're saying if I play with 2 WB/A and give individual instructions to 'go further forward' and then switch to, say, counter/very rigid, then the individual settings will not get overridden and the players won't behave like WB/Ds instead?
The individual settings remains, the changes involve mentality and creative freedom of the player. the fluidity affects creative freedom but also mentality, with a rigid system WBs or FBs will act more as a defender leaving the build up to someone else. basically you divide your team in blocks. this happens also with midfielders. there are still roles who have more creative freedom than others. also you have to use the head because if i am approaching a game with counter/rigid mentality i don't want my WBs or FBs going too far up the pitch :)
 
I play short passing and high tempo, still having great sucess with lower teams and possession against bigger teams, plus 100 passes in the MC, in Team Instructions when u say to retain possession, play out from defense, players will retain the ball, trying to circulate and only risk passes when they see a opening, if u have higher tempo u still have the possession but player will play at higher speed being more difficult to the opposition to catch the ball, mixed up with very high defense and pressing, the Guardiola style !!! hehe :)
Short passes causes your team to be more narrower and slower so "short passing/lower tempo" is good if you are trying to maintain the lead but you may struggle to score against someone who is parking the bus. i think is a good idea using higher tempo if you are using control :)
 
will give it a go now as i am working on tiki taka
by the way why dont u use pass into space option along with retain possession shoter passing

I give instructions to direct pass for the 2 MC, and they will try to make key passes more often, but they are the only ones that i want to do that, if i use the pass into space, possession will drop as everyone will try to do key passes.
I use the passe into space very often, and change mentality or give be more agressive shout, when i want to score and my team is lacking objectivity, sometimes add the very high tempo shout !!!
If i want to keep possession and protect a lead, i add less risky passes to MC and AI in order to control the game, sometimes i get almost 80% possession, but dont use it very often ! :D

Exactly mate, i use control and very fluid as i want my team to play as a unit !!! ;)
 
I was top with Leeds 10 games ago using the BOMB but have now dropped down to 5th with 6 losses 3 draws and 1 win.

Any idea what might be wrong? Tried changing team about 3 times but still nothing, worried I might not end up inside the playoffs with just 6 games left.

Thanks in advance
Can't say much without seeing some SS OF MATCHES AND TEAM MORALE .look back few pages there was another friend who had the same situation with schalke and than look for some of the fee backs he got from users
