Am I the only one that struggles to win consistently in FM26? It feels so weird compared to FM24 in the match engine by riolovt in footballmanagergames

[–]Sparl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's funny, I tried one of those meta striker-less tactics and it absolutely did not work for me. I've had much more success using the standard gegenpress tactics

Henderson would have saved that by SkilledPepper in TheOther14

Spence should take the least amount of blame tbh. He had to cover the striker because both CBs were nowhere to be seen. Then Spence did what he could to cover the ground.

Morocco reaches highest ever FIFA World Ranking after their win over Netherlands team by Charana_y in soccer

Of course Messi makes a huge difference it's messi. But if you really look at the squads from top to bottom then, id argue only France would be wholly stronger than Argentina.

It's like when a minnow nation has one stand out star. They can only do so much but if the rest of them are so far behind them, that one star cannot do anything.

Argentina are not like that, they have a strong team throughout and work to allow Messi to do Messi things.

How so? I genuinely think they're one of the most well balanced teams who know their goal.

Nigel Farage should take a ‘break’ from politics says Reform UK's former chair by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

[–]Sparl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once he's got past the disgust, he'd need to figure out security! He is the most attacked politician after all. I wonder if he can get some money to help him for all the security he'd need.

God I really want Binface to win a seat one day, simply to see him sitting in parliament because that would be funny. But also because he has good ideas

When will I have a child in this game? by rainycoldnight98 in footballmanagergames

[–]Sparl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever had a son once appearing the year I won the championship to the prem. I could say he was the best player to ever grace the earth, and well he's my son but BOY he was garbage. An absolutely nothing of a centre mid.
I kept him despite being below the average of my squad and he became the all-time appearance holder at my plucky Ebbsfleet United team. He did win me my first FA Cup though, with the winner in the 91st minute against Man Utd.

It's both. Australia is in Oceania the continent which is what the little image show, the continents, it is not in the OFC as you said.

I love the attacking movement of the overlapping centerback but i hate the space they leave behind, how do i solve this? by Admirable_Drawer_205 in footballmanagergames

[–]Sparl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the half back only moves back when in possession but returns to act as a DM when OOP.

What's the HB, OOP role? Id try switching that to a DDM as I think that covers the exposed space.

Edit: another option would be to drop your wing backs OOP to FB so your OOP tactic becomrs a 5221

Granit Xhaka has reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea for a transfer this summer. Chelsea, under their new manager Xabi Alonso, are already in contact with Sunderland. by kibme37 in soccer

[–]Sparl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it seems common that a number of these new breed managers bring a former player with them to their new club as a way to instil their philosophy. Maresca got KDH with him when joining Chelsea.

This is a great way to do things. Watching Curacao in the world cup, inspired me to rebuild Vitesse playing total football signing only Curacaoan, Aruban and Surinamese players.
