      I know the feeling. I managed the worst team in La Liga but for some reason, our mediocre team managed to come back from 3-0 to 3-4. Was against Real. AND last goal was a last-minute one similar to Kun Aguero's moment in City. Had goosebumps all over.

    Really useful video. I think having variations of the tatic your using is very good and can be effective. Im currently managing malaga and i was using a 3-5-2 in my first year in the la liga. I had two versions. The first one was the one i used in the division below with some tweeks to it. In our instructions we would look to counter press, counter, pass short, mentality positive etc. then i would have a more defensivly responsible version where instead of the conter press we would regroup, we would drop down to balanced, bring our lines down. From much higher engagement to higher and drop our higher line to standard. By doing this we beat barcelona away, real madrid at home and drew to them away, beat atletico in BOTH GAMES. Beat real sociedad and beat bilbao. This led us to qualify for the europa league and finish 6th with a team that was expected to only fight bravely against religation.

    I played City with my Dortmund side in the CL Group Stage and they actually held on for a draw. I put my team to attack them and hold them in the middle and I had bought Joao Cancelo from them, weakening their fullbacks. They just kept putting 5/6 players back and they only had one chance which Foden hit into Row L. Really could’ve used this video as an extra bit of help.

I tight marked haaland and pressed Ruben Dias (libero). Haaland had a quiet game, my striker (NELSON WEIPER!!! He’s great) scored a brace, and I won 3-1!

I finish second in a group with Barcelona, Porto and Shaktar. I then, on aggregate, beat Liverpool 6-2, Dortmund 3-3 (7-6 on penalties), Arsenal 1-0 and then lose the final to Leicester, who beat City 4-2 on aggregate in the semis. I wonder if I could have brought this amazing run all the way home if I had used any of the information in this video .-.

An easy way to do this is to go into international squads and check all of the U18, U19 & U21’s and scout them…get those wonder kids before anybody else! Good luck!

    • @hafplas
      @hafplas 2 роки тому +2

      There's not really one "right" way to play FM to be honest. Zealand is really into all aspects so he plays really in-depth, in this save he's got a squad that should literally never be beating Man City but due to his tactical skill he can, if you're not as good, who cares? It'll probably take 1 or 2 more years to develop a stronger squad to be able to make up for your weaker tactical approach but there's literally nothing wrong with that, do you need to put on manual scouting and training, to achieve success quicker? Yes. Do you need to put on manual scouting and training to have more fun? Not necessarily, no.

    Completely random: has anyone done testing on what language barriers do in fm. Seems like an important issue that is rarely spoken about, but maybe that’s just me

    • @DaveTingerz
      @DaveTingerz 2 роки тому +1

      It impacts upon the speed at which the player will become "Accustomed" to your team and is a contributor to the dynamics surrounding familiarisation. It's highly dependant on the "Adaptability" stat, but it's not a massive issue unless you get someone with devastatingly bad adaptability (Although to be honest unless they're some wonderkid, then I avoid bad adaptability like the plague if I need that player to be inside the first 16 players on my teamsheet).
      It's worth stating that they'll get the language "Eventually" even with bad adaptability, but whereas someone with great adaptability might just take a couple of months to get it nailed, they'll take closer to a full season..... worth keeping this in mind as a phenominal player who has little knowledge of the language will put in more 6.7's (or have bad games) than they will 7.0's until they get it sorted; so be mindful of that if you're spending big money on a 1st team player/starting-11.
      Intensive language courses are a 100% must have if it's a player you want long-term or need up to speed quickly, but only if you've got the cash to do it.... seen plenty of saves lower league where a major cause of bankruptcy is the costs of sending a few players for courses; lots of little things mount up and sneak up on you.
      Player going to be with you for just 1 season? Avoid if they don't know the language; yes you'll get 'some' decent games out of them, but consistency is likely to be an issue unless they have amazing adaptability.
      Player going to be with you for 2 or more seasons? Use them off the bench until they get at least "Basic" knowledge and send on the course if you can afford it.
      Wonderkids: I'm not sure if language barrier affects development - logically it should; gotta be hard to learn from coaches if you can't understand them, but I have no idea if the game replicates that.
      Final thought: You can torpedo your dynamics if you buy a player who has no knowledge of the language, give him "important player" status, and then drop him after 10 games when he can't string two decent games together because he confuses "Pass to me" with "Sky it into row Z"..... don't underestimate how one key player in one key position, who is unable to perform ddue to adaptability, can mean the difference between a push for Europe and mid-table underachievement.
      Anyway, hope that helps :-) I should say no formal testing done, just experience over the years.

    The game has ways to "buff" performance, like team cohesions.
    For some reason I've never understood you seem to think of roles (and position) the same way you pick t-shirts. The game does "reward" you for playing a player in the same position and role every week, the default UI even has the bar that show how well trained they are at the role+position, but you still manage every match to sit and pick roles-position like you where playing The Sims and picking the carpet pattern and colour.
    Your striker that has played the last 10 matches as AF/A at the ST position is better than the version of him that has played AMR the last 10 matches and is now put in as ST AF/A. This is why you should handle training matches, because it allows you to pick role+position of players in pre-season, so you have a stronger team at the start of the season.

      But what most people mean with scripted is that the game is predetermined, as soon as you start it, it is decided.
      But this is not true. There is RNG, luck, whatever you want to call it, but it is not pre-determined. Not scripted in that you can't do anything about it.
      The whole point of save scumming is based on the fact that you can play it 1000 times and the result will always be different in some way, so it is not predetermined, scripted.
