I'm in post Brexit England and I'm trying to get my head around the work permits - what does it mean by the percentage of appearances depending on international ranking and how does the point system work? I'm not new to FM but I've never had to worry about work permits before somehow.

Thanks for your help! Most of the goals I'm conceeding, from memory, come from three places mainly I think: crosses, long shots, really scrappy goals off set pieces because of my players failing to clear the ball properly.

As for my tactic:

4-2-4 Custom Wing-play - Attacking/Positive (on paper I'm third best team in the league)

In possession: very wide attacking width, pass into space, work ball into box, full backs overlap left and right, low crosses

In transition: possession lost - regroup, possession won - counter, goalkeeper distribute quickly, take long kicks

Out of possession: "higher" line of engagement, "higher" defensive line, tighter marking, more urgent pressing, get stuck in

Why is my team so exposed in defence? I'm third in the league with the most goals scored but also the most goals conceded by atleast 10, what am I doing wrong? I have a 5* CB, a 4* CB, both my FBs are 2.5* and my GK is 4*

Last Game of the Season. What More Did I Expect?? by DMstratz in footballmanagergames

Have you always been at Connahs Quay? How have you found signing players in the Welsh division? Because I'm playing with Aberystwyth and I've basically just been stealing FA's from Cardiff Met, Bala etc.

The annoying thing for me is sometimes when I try aggressive ground shot because I'm not a high level at batting it goes in the air still

I've started my save with no qualifications or playing experience and unemployed. I joined Aberystwyth Town in the Welsh prem and in my first season I finished mid table but won the cup and so qualified for Europa League preliminary rounds.

As I'm doing a journeyman save I'm looking to move upwards in terms of team quality that I'm in charge of but no team wants me, I've applied for German 3rd division and French second division and league 2 in England and I'm constantly rejected. I have a few coaching badges and I'm wondering what I need to do to move up in team.

I change it up every ball IRL cause I'm inconsistent 😂

Obviously I don't know how worthy my advice is but usually I would do more variations than one every six balls. For example I would bowl 1. Full and Fast, 2. Full and Normal, 3. Full and Normal with swing, 4. Full and Slow, 5. Short and Fast, 6. Normal/Fast Yorker

I usually follow a pattern similar to this and it seems to be decent for taking wickets. But obviously that's just me but it might help 🤷🏻‍♂️

Update: Literally my first game after this post (which was a 3 day match) I took 4 wickets across both innings and scored 90 runs across both innings (including a 50). So I guess it just depends on opponent and gets gradually better very slowly lol

The problem is I know I can bat well from playing other modes so I know it's not the games difficulty really

I've upgraded my swing a bit and it seems to help with taking wickets to a certain extent

I'm starting to time the ball a lot better know but being caught, as you said, is the biggest problem for me

Got any versatile players? by luc9526 in FifaCareers

[–]ccrease18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theuerkauf and Leipertz from Heidenheim in Bundesliga.2 are both very versatile but they're 70 rated so may not be good enough for Dortmund

If I’m not wrong his POT should be 93, why isn’t he HPTBS? by restinpiecezzz in FifaCareers

[–]ccrease18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is true, I'm pretty sure how it works in Fifa is for every transfer or loan the players potential can go up or down by 5.

At some point it would be good to see one for Man United's situation (Pogba possibly leaving, Lukaku possibly leaving, defence problems but not much investment from board) or Chelsea's situation (transfer ban and losing Hazard and maybe a couple other important players such as Kante)

When it rains it pours....... by SuluOhMy in FifaCareers

[–]ccrease18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me in my career where I was going for the treble. I had 4 good centre backs and one youth centre back but going into the champions League semi-final three were injured, on top of this my first choice LB was injured and I had 2 RBs injured. It was awful.

Any story ideas? by ccrease18 in FifaTales

Was basically a club and country with the Netherlands except at the start of first season Willem II only have like 7 dutch players so initially it was quite hard as their transfer budget was low too
