1. Positions
when you state that the ML should be right footed, do you mean that the player can be 'Accomplished/Natural' ML but right footed? And vice Versa for MR? At times I will have to field a player on MR who is right footed.

2. Transfers
i currently have mirallas playing on the right and I'll just use him as an example here but is it still ok to sign a player who is natural as AMR but accomplished in MR? I want to replace him with someone better end of season but will it make a massive difference if you play someone in a position accomplished rather than natural?

Players have the rating for positions the same way as they have for the attributes it can be 1 - 20 but the rating for the positions is hidden and we can't see it(or we can if we have any editor ;)) but it's possible to get a clue about its approximate value:

20 : Natural

15 - 19 : Accomplished

12 - 14: Competent

9 - 12 : Unconvincing

5 -8 : Awkward

There are many players in the game which have suitable attributes for the position but they don't have high enough rating for that position but such circumstance shouldn't stop you from buying these players if you find they have suitable attributes for the position because it's very easy to increase the rating for the position and eventually you can make player has "Natural" rating for the position you want.

Most of time it takes about a month to increase the position's rating from "Unconvincing" to "Competent" or from "Competent" to "Accomplished". As you can see it takes really small period of time.

Of course, you want that your players have "Natural" raring for the position but I find that "Accomplished" rating is enough and it looks like a player plays at about 90% of his ability when he has "Accomplished' but as I said eventually it's possible to make your players have "Natural" rating for the positions you want.

In order to increase the rating for the position you need to make the player train that position.

3. Lack of goals
i have noticed now that my team has started to score less. We still create a huge amount of shots on goal but not scoring often. Any advice on how to tweak this? My team is now fluid in tactics and I have started focus the training on attacking.

When a player has a scoring opportunity whether he scores or not in hands of his attributes such as Finishing, Long Shots, Composure, Concentration, Foot Rating and others and of course, it's in hands of GK's attributes too.

I'm sure you understand that football consists of probabilities and nothing is guaranty.;)

For example, if a player has Finishing "11" then there's about 25% probability he scores one on one and so on...

If your team in matches creates 10 times more scoring opportunities than the opposition then you are on the right way, you have much more chances to win the match in this case.

I've bought balanta,andrija zivkovic and loaned in munir also saviola not sure if I should play sissoko or Anita in cen mid so any help is much appreciated

Andrija Zivkovic is a very poor player. His attributes are poor for any position in this tactic and his total CA is 113 which suites to the mid table teams from Sky Bet Championship the league below. :) It would be possible to use him in the starting eleven only when he reaches at least 140 CA and this could take him about 3 - 4 seasons.

Munir isn't improvement for Newcastle. He has only 133 CA but as backup he is great because he is able to cover many positions and you get him almost for free.

Jvier Saviola also isn't improvement for Newcastle. He has only 135 CA and he is 32 years old so his attributes decline at great rate every season but he is also a good backup for not more than one season because he costs really cheap for his ability but as I said you can expect the next season his CA will decline sufficiently.

Alvarez Balanta is a great transfer for any club. :)

I would prefer Anita over Sissoko as MC.

"Finishing Training" ----> "... to try to blast the ball in the back of the net"

You know that left footed players are rare and if I can't get a left footed player for MR position then I start to look for players who have "Fairly Strong"/"Strong" rating for the left foot.

So if I had a very good player for ML/MR positions and he were "Either" footed than I probably would played him on MR position because it would released me from the need to find a left footed player for MR position.

But if you have any other left footed player for MR position who is better than him then play him on ML position.

I'm ur tactic fan .TTF thank for great tactic.I have some question.
Wide Midfielder:

2.55 - Acceleration, Pace
1.8 - Crossing, Dribbling
1.63 - Weak Foot
Click to expand...

For ur opinion for WML between one players who have 'Right Only' and another players who have "Fairly Strong"/"Strong" rating for the left foot but lower Acceleration, Pace and Dribbling than first.

Thank again and sorry for my bad english.
