I think it's more about making a squad that fits your system is what matters most. So I feel like this is a yes and no answer. Obviously, as you say it has to be a "believable" setup for it to work, but if they are players that fit the positions and roles and few team instructions, I feel that works best. Going by your players strengths and keeping them happy is probably the best way to win in FM.

Pfffft obvious to any long term FM player who knows about Internet tactics of the past hahahah. I mean my god I remember one 01/02 i THINK a short passing (there wasnt many options and i cant remember the rest) basically mad tactic where you take a 442 narrow diamond and pull the full backs up to wb's I remember my manu team with Giggs and Becks Wing Backs lol Keano DM scholes or some cheaty player Davidd Collins? at AMC and then buy 2 MCs Edgar Davids or Pirlo or somene seerdorf lol UNREAL no room for nev like hahahha or the legenady 4132 with forward arrows to the striker posistion on all 3 mcs. MAN I MISS ARROWS. 433s just dont look the same with out arrows from IFs to the ST position and on diagonal up with you AP and maybe if you were attacking arrow up on the full backs all the way to corner flag. DM up or down one. so many possibilities for shape. Also the gone now 4-1-4-1 with ridiculous curved arrows to the ST position lol but if your old enough to remember wibwob facing hell you could do SOME SHIT with that jesus wept it was infinite lol Tactics have ALWAYS been the shit in FM. A LOT less so now. I think it still should be i think the balance IS right.

11 that seems good for higher leagues but what about when you are doing a saved from extended lower leagues of england all players are around 9 ish or so across the board. The other key issue is the personality that will drive in large part if the player will develop or not.
@FMImmortal2 ай бұрын
I do agree. There are definitely red flags personalities that should avoided. The way I see it with those core attributes, anything less than 10 means more often than not they are failing to execute (whatever it is) and with Decisions especially, it's always good to have 11+ But in lower leagues (which are very fun to play in btw, but less so fun to recruit in) you're totally right, 8s and 9s in some areas is good enough.

I think a big part has to do with injuries, which can happen anytime and having only one backup per position who is most of time only 3 stars is not going to make it difficult. Also you always need an old player, with good personality for mentoring even if it no longer a good player for first team.

How do I find players who will be willing to play as a backup/squad player in the market? Almost every player in the scouting range wants a regular starter playing time only occasionally I got reports of a squad level player (I am fairly new to this game)
@FMImmortal3 ай бұрын
My personal approach here is to find players that are already dissatisfied with playing time, and/or turn to the end of contract hires on either 29th December or end of May if you're playing in England. Signing players who are out of contract gives you a little more wiggle room when it comes to lessening their playing time expectations and make sure you talk to the players' agents first too to claim their expectations for playing time are too high: helps manage things!

@maymunity79423 ай бұрын
Great video! I rarely use counter-press since an higher closing down + high press already achieve it with greater success without sacrificing defensive responsibilities. I've noticed counter-press is useful when the opposition is sitting deep in a 3atb or similar formations, however, when matched by a similar opponent it leaves you much more open than you could be. I love Hold Position for seeing out games. I normally lower tempo + pass range, then it's slowly lower closing down, change to a mid and lower block, however, I continue to use a high line to compress space; and only then do I begin to lower mentality. I've noticed a drastic change in mentality usually makes players prone to mistakes, which they normally wouldn't have been. In general, I wholeheartedly believe most team instructions aren't as impactful as people make them out to be and tactics without them can succeed simply on the principle of good role combinations, with the caveat that this mostly concerns offensive tactics. In regards to incompatible roles, the Halfback on a side as opposed to middle is useless if you have a defensive fullback there. Not sure if they drop in the middle if you run a IFB either.
@FMImmortal3 ай бұрын

@FraseThatPlays3 ай бұрын
On the incompatible roles - I think the duty matters too. I often play a Mezzala on support on the same side as an Inverted Winger on attack but I wouldn't play a Mez Att behind a IW Sup. Theoretically the same for an Inverted Wing Back, as an IWB Sup won't get high enough up the pitch to clash with a IF Att. Great video though - I'm kicking myself for missing how easy it is to just change transition instructions in game to be more defensively sound and safer in possession.

Defensive mentality (and defensive tactics in general) not being particularly viable in FM is one of the biggest flaws in the match engine at the moment - Direct Counters can work, see Mustermann's Sampdoria videos for evidence of that, but the likes of Mourinho and Conte's tactical systems should be just as viable. They're some of the most successful coaches around after all!

Great info, thanks for doing the research for rest of us. Defensive midfielder would be interesting to know. However there are many great players who might be injury prone (orange not red color, and they can be managed by lower intensity of training, giving them more rest). The only one's to stay clear is if they have a bad personality, bc it is very difficult to change those. Consistency, Important Matches and determination can also be increased if you mentor them with someone with influence in your squad and strong in those areas.

This is such a good topic to analyse. Managing a winning Prem/Champions League team I recently completely changed my roster building: I have some 18 "senior" players and some 15 u21 who can actually step in. I loan some other 15 players 18-25 and keep a bounce of 18-21 who are not good enough for the senior team in house. It seems to be working fine for the moment.
