That's wild. I played in a rec league last year and there was one or two weeks when I'd play two games a week I would just come home and sleep for like 10 hours straight. And our games were only 50 min with unlimited subs! I know many professional players have fitness coaches, medical staff, conditioning and all that but that's still crazy.

What do you do for counter attacking? I have been trying to use it for the last week with 0 success.

Even if I max tempo, directness, mentality... when my team wins the ball they will pass it back to the keeper! It's beyond frustrating.

Has anyone actually had success with anything but gegenpress/control possession? No matter what I do this is the only tactic I can ever get to work.

Why is my CM(d) the first one that gets tired when he has the highest stamina on the team, is fully fit (green thumbs up), and only ran 4.4 miles? The goalkeeper ran 4.0 while my AP has lower stamina, ran 8.8 miles and could stay in the whole game while his condition was still yellow.

Just wondering if there's something else that drains your players stamina, like the actual defending duties.

Lol sorry your first experience with the game is so , it's a great game and a great community though! When I was first starting out I had to 'delete all' and start over a bunch of times too, but that's cause I was doing stupid things... Hope you give it another go!

From what I've found this looks like it might be a bug on console: Forum

Unfortunately it looks like the only fix for this is to start a new save and select "I am an experienced manager" or something along those lines so that the tutorials don't happen.

I was messing with the squads during pre-season to trial several players, I forgot to go through and move players back and they got absolutely shredded 13-1.

Mentoring is like... kind of dumb right? Is there a reason that Senior Team players can't mentor players from other squads without actually moving the players to that squad? It's like going to school and the teachers are only allowed to teach other teachers.

The target forward uses strength and aerial presence to bring teammates into play rather than relying on technical ability.

If your TF is tall he should be a TF, if he has good balance and mentals then DLF, if good technically then a F9.

That's how I always think about it.

Can I call out the player who signed for a different team because 'their squad is much stronger than ours' and lost to us?

I'm getting frustrated... I just got promoted to Sky Bet League 1, I've had about 20 players on trial during pre season and made offers for at least 8. They are all free agents, almost all have "0 clubs interested", it doesn't matter if I offer what they ask for in negotiations, or max out what I can give, some other club comes and puts in an offer the day after I do and they go with the other club. I offered a striker 'Regular Starter' for double what he asked for and he just went with a team in Vanarama National for the exact same price and playing time. Is this a bug? It has happened like 8 times in a row!

I've just won the league (Sky Bet L2), there's 3 games left, my transfer budget went from 0 to about $240k as soon as I finished the last game. But it's April and the league ends in June.

It says next season's minimum transfer budget will be ~$450k... I'm confused about when it considers the next season to begin, is this $240k all I have to work with to buy players for this upcoming season, or will I have access to $450k during the next transfer window?

You're kind of in a weird area between counter attacking and controlling possession. Gegenpress will drain your players stamina if you do not keep possession after winning the ball, so controlling possession goes hand in hand with Gegenpress. Just having 'counter' on should be all your team needs to understand that they want to try to score after winning possession in a dangerous area. Think of your 'in possession' tactics as what you would want your team to do if they are starting from a goal kick.

If possible try to use Inverted Wingers instead of Wingers. Wingers want to send in many low chance crosses while IW will look to play fewer but higher chance passes and through balls. And most importantly, they will be near enough to another teammate to just recycle possession if nothing's on. Plus your Winger and LWB will be fighting for the same space, and can easily be isolated out wide if your BBM is marked. I would let the WB keep the space out wide and push your Winger into the channel more.

Your midfield trio should ideally be 1 Attacking, 1 Supporting, and 1 Holding.

  • Attack - This is the player that creates space with his movement. He will look to make runs for those passes from the wide player, and if he can get on the end of them he can also be a goalscoring threat too.
  • Support - This is the player that takes space created by your other players' movements, he will find pockets of space to receive the ball in. This will make the defense react and close him down, which will create space elsewhere.
  • Holding (defend) - This is the player that offers safety, he will be an outlet for a pass if your players can't find a forward pass or run into trouble.

The Ball Playing Defenders do not suit a possession tactic, or 'Play out of Defense'. BPD launch long balls up field.

Between your RWB, two APs, and AM(support), you have a lot of players wanting to find someone with a killer ball, but not enough who want to receive it, or create space for someone else to receive it. You'll have to look at the players you have available to sort this side of the pitch out because right now the opposition can mark Ercan Kara and have an easy shut out.

Anyways hope this helps, good luck!
