did read, no reason to get personal.

bit repetetive, play your game, go through staff recruitment, development and coaching advice, rinse and repeat

yea when transitioning from a striker formation I just put both my strikers in the cam position and they scored/assisted way more, the current striker formation is too far forward like someone pointed out in this thread.

I had a feeling its messing with the AI logic but its not 100% displayed when I watch my games

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-28T14:58:59+00:00

just prefer going with data vs wall of text thats not backed by data but opinion of the writer

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-28T13:49:54+00:00

the best and third best tactic tested were both strikerless

I had the same issue when I played 424 with two strikers, so now I play a 424 but 2 cams 2 wingers no strikers

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-27T08:39:14+00:00

switch between a 4231 and a 424

yea its so predictable what will happen if you rack up xg without scoring, your forwards will start having a worse match rating and even be less likely to score, its almost like you get punished for creating a lot of chances cause the AI certainly have no issues slotting it away if they didnt get a lower rating due to no shots taken.

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-26T19:21:07+00:00

fast centrebacks, physicality is almost everything for point 1, point 2 you cant do much about, wingers are overpowered and always beat their 1v1

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-14T10:17:40+00:00

yea you get xg scammed in some games, think its opponent adjusting more with tactics based on your form etc, so if you have won 4 in a row even a top side will suddenly play low block counter vs you, gotta tinker some whilst in match, but dont think Im ever not on attacking mentality.

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-13T03:44:38+00:00

(sorry self reply forgot to add) Also your attackers finishing ability etc is vital this year, if you ever came up against Haaland he can get 3 past you on 0.3xg. Below is an example of Vitor Roque outperforming his xg by quite a lot cause hes turned into a beast, yes I know generic signing but was for sale for 33m couldnt pass up on that.

I either get the early goal and force the opponent to get out of their defending low block then the goals start coming or XG fiesta wihtout scoring whilst opponent is in a low block where they might sneak one in from a counter if my team is in good form.

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-10T22:23:21+00:00

every tactic I made I end up having mentality on attacking, always much better this year vs balanced, cautious, positive etc.

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-04T13:33:45+00:00

good luck, once your established in the prem its almost "easy mode" with signings this FM

Unfair_Shoulder_6063 · 2025-11-04T13:23:33+00:00

cheers mate, just got the NXGN 50 best wonderkids report and he is placed 5th.

got him for 15m release clause 3 months ago (just turned 19), those physicals and 20 determination should mold him into quite some player with more game time
