FM24 TEAM INSTRUCTIONS EXPLAINED! | FOOTBALL MANAGER TACTIC GUIDE!

[@Pujosul]

I almost never comment on a youtube video but this needs to be said. good job! this is what FM players need. I ve played this game for 20+ years and there were things I did not know. keep it up. loved the how to create your tactic videos too

[@LewisH90]

Thank you Puji, that comment made me smile and it’s the reason why I love doing these types of videos! 👊

[@robbieg416]

I really love how easily, and simply you explain everything.

[@LewisH90]

Thank you Robbie, really appreciated that mate!

[@tbout7]

Top quality stuff. Theres very few KZbinrs that can break down FM well and you've nailed it. Definitely worth a subscribe 😊

[@azgast]

Overlap WILL make your full-backs more attacking. With everything else at default, ticking overlap will change the mentality of FB-S from 'Standard' to 'Positive'. Same thing with underlap and an IWB-S.

[@d0lphin875]

Those explanations are awesome, man! Finally I realised which instruction is responsible for what (considering that I am casually playing FM since CM4!!) and now I created tactics fully fit to my team and I am running unbeaten serie right now with my middle-table shitty team) so, thanks a lot

[@norbertbenedekffy]

Subbed because of the quality of explaining. I've read all the info in the tactics, but still, your explaining compliments it.

[@LewisH90]

Thank you very much, means a lot!

[@NaturalBornChilla666]

This was actually super insightful! Thanks for the video. I’ll pay more attention and put more thought into my instructions from now

Always nice to watch someone else’s view on these, I use trap inside as I currently use 3 CM’s and a DMC and I don’t use wingers so I try and focus the oppositions play into the central areas. I’m doing a youth save like yourself (how I came to follow you) and I’m still to get the best out of my players, it’s a fine line between a good tactic and a bad one when you done have the players.

[@LewisH90]

Yeah that makes sense if you have a lot of players centrally and like you say if you don’t have the players for certain things you just have to make the most out of it. Which team are you using in the youth save?

[@FlintEastw00d]

@@LewisH90 I’m Piacenza, only just survived first season by 1 place, was predicted to be relegated so board still happy. I can see major improvements already with some youth players as I’ve got good training facilities, goal this season just to better last season, I can see me being in Serie C for a few years yet. My best player at only 20 years old already wants to leave and is going to run his contract down 👎🏼 first youth intake was golden generation but that’s not a surprise first season 🤣

[@Eemilkarlssonn]

What an amazing video, listened to it while on a walk and can't wait to get home and tweak my tactics!

[@LewisH90]

Really appreciate that comment, smiled when I saw it! Hope the run went well and your team wins every match! 🫡

great video, as a 16 years player learnd a lot, lets see what will be the affects clicked like and suscribe, gl mate

[@LewisH90]

Thank you man, really appreciate it!

[@Gaza-cl6no]

Brilliant video again mate really finding these helpful in my own saves

[@LewisH90]

Very kind mate! 👍

[@vaevin]

Really helpful video thankyou You mentioned low defensive lines not really working, I enjoy using non meta tactics like you so tried for a long time and I’ve found low line works if you just have one or two players pressing and everyone else holding shape - say a 442 I’ll have a PF and a SS pressing but I have press less often on for team overall, with good marking and positioning, you give up a lot of shots and possession but they’re all like .05xg, I’ve found I’ll match their xG but mine will be 2 or 3 clear chances and they get 20 shit ones lol. You do need a really hard working defensive squad

[@LewisH90]

Yeah it takes a lot more work but you can get it going eventually. Really satisfying way of playing the game too, glad you got it working!

[@MegaSting1981]

As I've just got to the Bundesliga with Dresden, this video is veryyyyy handy as per! Thank you mate! Honestly love how you explain these things.

[@LewisH90]

No problem Mega, thanks for the comment mate, really appreciate it! 👊

[@kepler22abc]

Very helpful content! Actually trap inside is pretty useful against wing-plays according to my experience, the opposition will pass in to the middle of the pitch and easily lose the ball as all other teammates are on the wings. Though trap outside is used more often, it makes the defensive shape pretty compact

[@gamefan8552]

Great video, I wished there was more info on how the team stats related to having good options for those instructions.

[@lucas6710]

I feel like this will be the video I come back to whenever I thought I figured out the game but then lose 0:3 against a lower table club. Thanks for explaining in such detail

[@LewisH90]

You’re welcome Lucas! 👊

[@TheGrumpySheeps]

Thanks Lewis, best Vid on explaining tactical instructions i watched so far! A real eye opener for me. Keep up your great work!

By far the best video on fm tactics I've ever seen

[@fonseka9749]

Thanks mate. Your videos on tactics are helping me make my own tactics. I've been playing FM since CM but I never use my own tactics, this year I want to play only with my own tactics. To thank you, I gave a sub on the channel. Cheers from Portugal!!

Cheers buddy, I always find your video guides super helpful and easy to understand. Thank you for taking the time to do these

[@LewisH90]

No problem Joe, thank you for the comment too, really appreciate it. 👍

[@djrussell1989]

I use trap inside sometimes if I'm the better team and, and don't fear the opponent really. I want to win the ball back in central areas to get better counter attacks before they can get their core defensive players back in shape.

[@X7-kk9mp]

that explain alot why i failed with my aresnal team now LUL my tactics didnt fit players and my style haha as someone who only has 50 hours in FM that video solved alot of issues i had . now to going to listen to play instruction

So in my save i started unployed and stayed for a year to grab a non league portuguese recent promot to 4th div ( campeonatos de portugal ) i went with a 4 df line ( 2 cb low pace good heading power 1 dmf (12 pace/15 better) 2 cm (box to box) 2 wingers and a adv foward . Low defense line low press (invite in opponents) . Basicaly in posecion team trys to go as fast as possible ( discipline ) up the pitch running foward in to space to get the ball and. Got good results promoting 2 times bfour changing to a more possetion style

Thank you Blurayz!

[@Daley1863]

Ideally I’d like to start matches with a basic set up and adjust as the match develops but does that mean tactical familiarity will never get to a high level?

[@LewisH90]

You can do that, you will take a little bit of a hit but in game I adjust small things all the time but the hit you take is definitely worth it if the change makes sense and is beneficial. I’d just put it three different tactics of varying levels of style so more defensive, more attacking and normal so the hits you take are less severe.

[@Daley1863]

Appreciate the response and keep this kind of content coming, helped me get stoke back in the barclays !

[@1_Kwabena]

trap inside vs wing play teams or teams using attacking wide fbs

[@adamszn9590]

Good video, i need help no matter if im a good team or bad team i really struggle away from home any tips

[@LewisH90]

Usually whatever tactic you have, you want to just make subtle, small changes to that. So things like moving the mentality down to balanced, maybe a mid block instead of a high press or moving the pressing down by one notch etc. doesn’t have to be loads of changes just little things so you’re players know the majority of the tactic just a few differences that make you more solid.

[@wawangunawan9355]

you dont describe what if you dont tick everything?

[@LewisH90]

Less instructions means more freedom for players to choose the right option, sometimes making them do or not do certain things can inhibit their creativity and some situations need them to be allowed to do something you have checked.
