UNREAL!

I've played a few different saves using different tactics as Leeds but can never seem to get any success with them so am going to give it another go with your tactic. Any players you'd really recommend getting that I could? lost first friendly 3-0 but won next
5-1 but was quite lucky.
 
Do you make the changes during a match that your assistant coach recommends?
 
Hey TFF you know i'm a big fan of your tactics and the effort you put in, gonna use this to try and create a long term save at newcastle and make them a world superforce will keep you updated.
 
Lol... Guys, just listen it's hilarious story. I decided to start new long term save and wanted to be challenged as much as possible so I picked West Ham because it's one of weakest teams in EPL(Pred. 14) and what is MOST important for me this team don't suit to the tactic at all and this is mean I need to rebuild team heavily and I like this process very much :) Also before 1st match in season I had 8 players injured(most than any club for that moment in the league) and all these made me think that for sure I'll get challenge I'm looking for :)

So I was preparing to fight for avoid relegation and in best case scenario to finish somewhere mid table BUT my plan to get challenge field greatly :) After 13 game played I found myself sitting 2nd :) **** it! :@ It soils all fun! I haven't even start rebuild team and already go for CL spot! :) LOL... and I really afraid to get CL spot because West Ham in Champions League in 2nd season it will be hilarious ^^)

View attachment 355173View attachment 355172View attachment 355165View attachment 355171View attachment 355170 is it because i didn't stick to the filters for ST and bought some really bad ones or what is it why i cant score at all :(
lambert and el arabi both had long term injury so i had to replace them anyway (6 and 8 months)

Experienced the same. In my third season with Sociedad and bought Costa from Atleti. Even he doesn't produce at times but I found that it helps if you praise him when he scores and tell him to keep up his form. Also critisise your strikers if they haven't scored for a while.

I am wondering about the DM as well. I haven't managed to get a great playerfor this position but I feel this is a different issue. Any ideas?

Lambert is awful as Complete Forward and I recommend get rid of him as soon as possible. ;)

Mate, also I can conclude from what I see that you have problem to evaluate "real" strength of players and strength of your team compare to other teams in the league.

My advice to you for learning purpose download FMRTE or FM Scout and compare average CA of your team with average CA of the teams from top 5 and you'll get more realistic look on things ;)
 
So i should never sign people with good potential but bad CA? or if i do i have to loan them out? otherwise if i play them i will have poor results?

Why not? You decide… if you are ready to wait for 2-4 seasons when these players reach their potential then you should go for it. Probably this is the only way for small clubs to have “star” players because other ways are too expensive.

If player has very good Professional and Ambition +16 so in case you can hope he gain about 7 -10 CA per season. For example, Suarez and Rooney have 170 CA so let’s say you bought 100 CA player and you see how long it could take till he reach CA of Suarez and Rooney of course all this in case if he has such potential :)

10 games into season with Leeds once again im struggling. 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. No wins at home. I follow your guide of which formation to use when but morale is now dropping. Tactic isn't quite fully fluid yet, I'll try to keep persisting. Any advice?

Try to get 3 Complete Forwards 160-165 CA(2 main and 1 for rotation) for 2nd season and you’ll get visible improvement.

Mate, the information that you have provided tells me nothing If you want some advice you need provide this:
1) In what league are you with Leeds?
2) CA of your players.
3) Attributes of the players from your starting eleven.

OMG -) Mate, why did you sold Davide Santon? He is one of the best WBR for this tactic? Also this guy is incredible because he can play left flank when needed.

You had 2 excellent players who can play WBR: Davide Santon and Mathieu Debuchy. Your right flank was totally ok! Also Davide Santon can play left flank in case injures of all players who play there.

You should strengthen left flank instead because as I can see there's only Massadio Haidara who can play there and he is very avarage player(CA 125)

Ok well I didn't have debuchy as im using lfcmarshall update and i sold santon for 30million as i thought it would be better to have a better balance with the ability of 2 or 3 more players to cope in europe.

Don't even think about retraining central midfielders to strikers it will lead to recalculation of all their attributes according new positions.

As you can his CA spent on Talking, Position, Marking – this is totally unacceptable because you really don’t want that CA of the striker has been spent on these attributes.

You'd better want this CA has been spent on something useful for Striker
