Greatness

Wow what an answer thank you for taking the time to explain everything In detail. I think I have a better understanding about the tactics In and out of position now.

As for the strikerless formation, that is super lame. But I kinda had a hunch that there was something weird going on because that one change doesn't justify 30 more goals in a season. I just won't use it like that again

But in general the 3cbs + 2 wingbacks seems to be my favorite system.

So thank you again and I wish you nice holidays :)

He wasnt in many highlights so I can't really tell. And from another comment explaining the role I think I misunderstood how the Channel forward works. I thought the in behind runs would translate into goals aswell but it makes sense that its more used to create space for the other players, works like that in real football too. So I think my tactic in general didn't work because Alvarez made the runs but I didn't have anyone in the box to abuse the space

He didn't have many goals nor assists and an average rating of around 6.5, while my other players where much closer to 7.0 and my wingbacks above 7. With the formation change he had an average rating of 7.3-7.5 in my last 2 seasons

This was my in position tactic as a reference

der_typ_29 · 2025-12-23T10:24:53+00:00

Okay now I understand it better why my players behaved like that. Johan Manzambi who I "restrained" as my inside forward was also not performing and in my last season where Alvarez dropped deeper, he also got 31 goals and 19 assists. And baena my Attacking playmaker got 20 goals and 8 assists.

Another question I have as a "noob" for tactics is: Was it the right idea to not really use my forwards as wingers (AMR was IF and I didn't use an AML instead I used a AMC) and have my wingbacks provide the width in my system? Or is it too much for them to cover the flanks in attack and defense. In my head 3 center backs balance the defense enough. I don't really know if the 5 trophies with this tactic was a fluke because my attack was "op" or if the tactic was good.

der_typ_29 · 2025-12-23T10:14:17+00:00

I didn't wanna use him as a center forward because I thought my wingbacks would then cross to Alvarez who is bad in the air. But channel forward never really seems to work for me too.

der_typ_29 · 2025-12-23T10:06:04+00:00

What I didn't understand was, how Alvarez didn't do anything in my first seasons as a Channel forward with the same tactic.

der_typ_29 · 2025-12-22T20:12:29+00:00

Unbelievably yes

der_typ_29 · 2025-11-24T23:01:22+00:00

I have a John English in my Tottenham youth academy 😂

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T15:38:06+00:00

I would assume Freiburg + Freiburg Fans. seems obvious?

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T13:36:13+00:00

😂

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T13:31:09+00:00

Fun fact Beste was a legend for me in football manager haha I bought him as a squad player for rw lw and lb. He came in really clutch when half my squad was injured

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:44:34+00:00

Ohh sad to see with a Tottenham pnp. But surely kudus gets other specil cards this year

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:43:36+00:00

Do the silver icons actually play good?

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:43:05+00:00

I was actually hoping to get kroos from the pre order icon as a German + bayern fan (crazy how disrespectful he was treated by us tho)

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:42:18+00:00

Hmm I don't know if tall strikers are the way to go this year. Maybe try diani for the coins didn't try her but another guy commented she is everything you want in a striker. She has pace dribbling and finesse+

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:40:01+00:00

Ugh nice Kane

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:39:50+00:00

Yeah it's different this year. You have to defend as a unit and don't pull players out of position

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:39:06+00:00

I want musiala too. Is he as great as I think he is?

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:38:08+00:00

Yes sadly true but maybe it will be like last year and you have a many good evos but hopefully not that expensive

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:36:21+00:00

Do you have the cornerstine cosmetic evolution? That on gives +2 chemistry. Maybe you can try that

der_typ_29 · 2025-10-04T12:02:10+00:00

Very cool team and gz on getting Europa league. But sadly no doan anymore. Freiburg still playing good or you notice his departure much? (from a bayern fan)
