Hello,
I haven't posted in here in a while. Recently got into FM2014 again with the new patches(yay).
I'm playing as Liverpool in my first season, but my team is still struggling. I only brought in one defender: Subotic so my team is generally the same. I definitely plan on buying another defensive midfielder, but I'm using Rossiter as back up for now.
My tactic is 4-1-1-3-1 with attacking mentality and very rigid fluidity.
My team instructions are: More direct passing, pass into space, run at defence, play wider, drop deeper, stick to position, hassle opponents, stay on feet, be more expressive, pump ball into box, and higher tempo.
The roles for each position are:
(Advanced Forward: Attack)
(Inside Forward:Attack) (Advanced Playmaker: Support) (Inside Forward: Attack)
(Deep Lying Playmaker:Support)
(Anchor Man: Defend)
(Fullback:Support) (Ball Playing Defender: Defend) (Central Defender: Defend) (Fullback: Support)
Note: I may edit to add player instructions if needed.
My goal is to reduce crossings because that seems to never work well for me in general, so I'm hoping to make my team to pass more and create chances by pass in open space. One thing I'm really struggling with a lot right now is defending. My defenders don't seem to mesh well and tend to allow a striker to walk in open area and score. I suspect it's because of the play wider instruction I have for the team. I'm also thinking of dropping be more expressive or fine tune fluidity to rigid or balanced, but haven't decided.
Also, I cannot seems to get my fullback to play well for some reason. They tend to be my worst players every game.
Any advices would be greatly appreciated!
