That's the problem. What fucking world is he living in where 100% of a teams success is down to their tactics? Harry Redknapp didn't even deploy tactics when he led Spurs to 4th. He'd set a formation and pick the players. That was it.

It isn't though, its down to player happiness, fatigue, squad cohesion, a ton of things.
Its your tactics is just a /trb/ meme because it was really the only thing Miles could say to pleb players who would start as someone like Barca and still lose half their games and complain like the game was at fault. They had no appreciation for the fact that there was hundreds of different things that weight the match engine and whilst tactics are very significant ultimately the player complaining had probably done something incredibly stupid.

what kind of roles do you guys set up the midfield triangle as in a 4-1-2-3? kinda fancy a REGISTA boys, is the role any good?
>>66364261
Regista are great if you have a good player for the role. You'll want a DM or Anchorman next to him otherwise you'll get shafted by counters.
>>66364261
Registas don't defend, ever. IRL it's because they're usually crippled old playmakers (Pirlo), so SI has replicated that in the game. They're basically deeper, modern Enganches: since they don't play just behind the strikers they are not marked by 6s (especially against a 433/451/442 diamond, etc.) as easily as usual 10s. You'll need high Workrate defensive mids alongside them, who are willing to run after every ball and support the attack. Box2Box or BWM are for me the choices.

>>66365208

Where do you manage?
>>66365208
a lot of great players come from west africa, but scouts tend not to do a very good job of finding them. you might want to check the national teams (and u-20 national teams) of ghana, cote d'ivoire, nigeria etc. every year or two for good young players, and request reports on them individually
>>66365280

>>66365311
it's pretty hard. honestly, you might not want to bother, scouts do so poorly at finding players from there.
just check their national teams (or the squads of major clubs) by yourself once every couple years, and if you see a player that looks to be good (even if you can't see attributes you can look at their value, their number of appearances and/or match ratings, their age relative to the rest of the squad, etc.) you can request for a scout to follow that player individually for 2 weeks/1 month/whatever it takes
if you want to build up a base level of knowledge for the region and can't find a scout with pre-existing knowledge, just pick any scout with high adaptability and give them an ongoing assignment to that region. just don't rely on that assignment to find players.
>>66365377
Merci ma famille

No, not really, although I'd recommend playing with a large (or at least medium) sized database
>>66365349
Shit ive been found out
>>66365444
Oh, so I get newgens from all over the world regardless of what leagues I have for my database..? Then what is the point of the database, if I'm not looking to sign any existing players
>>66365499
>newgens
Stop that. They'll always be regens regardless of the fact that term is not exactly accurate now.
Yeah you get them from all around the world but if you don't have the league loaded then it won't properly simulate the league and matches which can mean stunted development and also fewer regens as the league mainly uses fake, grey players.
>>66365499
>so I get newgens from all over the world regardless of what leagues I have for my database..?
Not really. Newgens/regens comes from your country mainly, but depending of your scouts' knowledge and nationalities in the staff regarding youth players, you may get some foreign newgens. Once I had a French regen in Slovenia. I don't have the screen cuz' he was shit and I released him, it it can happen.
this is my database as of now
>>66365499
>Oh, so I get newgens from all over the world regardless of what leagues I have for my database..?
Right
>Then what is the point of the database, if I'm not looking to sign any existing players
Loaded countries get far more players, although roughly the same percentage of good vs. passable vs. bad
Loaded countries also have games that are properly simulated, so players will develop properly. Useful for clubs there, also useful for you if you want to loan players out to those clubs, since guys in non-loaded leagues tend to stagnate a little
You'll also end up with weird situations in continental club games or international matches with non-loaded countries, particularly if you choose to use a small database, where their teams will only have 4-5 players, and the rest of the spots in the squad are filled by greyed-out "virtual" players who have no club history, can't be transferred, etc.

>>66365559
you've probably loaded more than you need to there.
I like to pick the top 4-5 countries (spain, england, germany, france, italy; sometimes portugal, russia, and netherlands too) and a few countries geographically relevant to wherever I'm managing (in england that might be scotland, ireland, and belgium or whatever)
beyond that, selecting large database for the world and choosing the "generate players from top level clubs" for europe is usually good enough
>>66365579
Wow, worse than Cyril Rool, that's quite an achievement.
>>66365626
OK, I'll remove a bunch of the lower leagues from the lesser nations, add top divisions from Scandinavia and Colombia and a few others, and that should do it
>>66365687
just looked up tomas repka and saw he got "only" 19 red cards. disappointing return
Well this Yugo db provides no surprises. I think I'm supposed to simulate for two years or something tho'. Time to try another one that has more clubs in the top divisions and is overall very similar in structure to EPL.
We're in the Championship, Everton are 19th place in the Prem. I'm scared that they're gonna take back God King Okey Okafor. Please hold me

I've always understood youth rating as having to do with a nation's potential.
IIRC Russia, Egypt and Mexico always look "overrated" but they have huge populations and the clubs have bad facilities/youth recruitment to balance it out. Like Russian regens in-game are not actually that good

>Colombia/ Mexico/ Spain - 2

RIP Martin O'Neill's career
>>66366642
I kind of like the system for Russia and Mexico, it reflects a couple real-life things I've heard mexicans complain about.
In FM, the players with elite potential are more likely to start with a low CA (junior coaching) and more likely to stay too long in the weak domestic league. There are very restrictive foreign player limits and the clubs can pay
>>66366378
It's balanced somewhat with the fact that none of the Russian teams have very good youth systems and the AI is usualy too dumb to upgrade them even if they have a lot of money, which lot of Russian clubs do.
They still produce better players than in real life, though.

better make sure you really do stab them in the back in that case, although I'm not sure how much you can piss off players at a national team level
as a side note, has the match preparation thing been fixed for national teams? do players actually learn the tactics you've selected now, or are they still forever stuck at 'unfamiliar'?

No, match preparation is absolutely fucked at international level. You have to either play 442 and have players know what the formation is or play anything else and watch them wander about like retards in a mirror maze.
On a related note AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

going for a bwm and a dlp-d, let's see how this turns out eh
starting a new save as HSV, how the fuck do i reduce the wage spending? am i just gonna have to sell some players?
>>66367685
CMs and BBM if you want possession.
Any defensive role will constantly make you lose possession
>>66367897
HSV or HSV? :^)
but yeah, probably. do you have a bunch of old guys on huge wages?
>>66367966
hsv :^)
probably yeah i've not really looked properly yet
losing my first friendly 2-0 with a basic 4-2-3-1 formation and no instructions, this hasn't gone too well
tfw want to learn how to fix tictac but don't even know where to begin

right
>>66368143
I choose death.
>>66367410
Bochum.
how important is determination?
>>66368180
Okay. I'll use him as first choice then.
>>66368284
one of the key parts that I want in my youth players I buy
If a player's upset because you stopped him from moving to a club playing continental football, will qualifying for continental football shut him up? Or is he just going to whine until I let him go?
>>66368284
I'd tell you but I'm not determined enough to bother typing it all out
>>66368284
You won't achieve anything in life without my friend
>>66368299
this guy worth the price tag?
>>66368316
>>66368321
har har har
>>66368284
hard question to answer, but quite important. it's more important at really low levels when everyone is terrible at everything and the winning team is usually the one that tries a little more, but even at the top level, a player with 20 determination is so much more reliable than a guy with 7 or 8
>>66368334
i'd say no.
shit bravery concentration and positioning would not fug
>>66368334
My slightly joking answer was essentially telling what you needed to know though.
If they aren't determined then they won't be fucked to work hard in training, work hard on the pitch etc, etc so yeah its pretty important.
>>66368365
mentals unlikely to improve much?
>>66368334
maybe, probably not, it's hard to say. I don't think it's worth buying players for determination alone, since you can increase it using tutoring or warnings/fines, but occasionally (not always) it's associated with really high-potential players
he doesn't look particularly amazing even for his age, but have your scouts watch him for a month or so, and see if they think he's an exceptional talent.
>>66368377
determination doesn't effect training
>>66368394
with right tutor they will.
But he is underdeveloped in my opinion and you should be capable in finding better players than him.
team and league?
>>66368334
He'll turn out decent. If you have a large budget you could buy him and let him sit in the youth for a few years then flip him for profit
>>66368439
I don't know, that's why I'm asking. I'm new to FM, played FM11 at a friend's house once, got FM16 on sale. I'm an actual football player IRL (amateur, don't get too excited) and I'm pretty good at football knowledge, but I'm lacking in FM knowledge. I don't know the ins and outs of the video game stat part, if that makes sense?
Board handed me a ridiculous 90m transfer budget for my third season after a ludicrously easy CL run in my 2nd season (Juve, Ajax, Arsenal, Man City). I'm looking to shift out basically all of my non-regen youth players below 3 star potential and fill my U18/21s with regen 4+ star hopefuls for that big pile o cash.
Thanks for the feedback.
>>66368469
Thanks, that's sort of what I was thinking.
>>66368516
cash really isn't much of an object when managing in england, as you're finding. so I guess there's no risk in signing youth players that might not turn out great, but on the other hand the 4-5m profits you'll make off them if you decide to sell is just a waste of time
you're probably better off holding out for the absolute top talents unless you really need a bunch of backup players for some reason
>>66368516
hm yes but what team do you manage?
And no worries if you dont know the ins out, we all start somewhere.
Only fill your u18/u21 with 4*+ hopefulls if your youth training is up to scratch.
For the rest england is easy mode for managing, massive influx of money etc.
I'm getting this guy even if he isn't top talent, just look at that name
>>66368564
>>66368586
Yeah, I have noticed.
Managing Spurs btw
I'm not really interested in taking a tier 8 team to the Premiership, I just want to develop top young talent in my favourite club. It's a fun game to play even if I haven't set myself up with a massive challenge.
>>66368591
There is literally always some Brazilian regen called Baby. Usually there are quite a few so you could probably find a decent one if you tried.
>>66368629
fair enough. just bear in mind that managing a bloated squad can get really frustrating. when all those guys turn 20 and start demanding first team appearances, transfers, and loans, it can get annoying fast. that's why people usually sign only a few really good players as opposed to a bunch of fairly good players, but that doesn't mean to say it's the only way.
>>66368629
ok well then search for young goats lel
high determination workrate and concentration
with the relevant technical and mental skills for each position
>>66368648
Dude should be retired tbqh.
>>66368690
Daily reminder that these attributes have 0 impact on development.
>>66368284
A player with 20 determination will always give a shit about his career, so he will always perform at 100% of his capabilities.
he just turned sixteen a few weeks ago
Excellent goal from italy desu
>España
what is PA and is 149 a good pa?
>>66368951
shit. I'd given up on that game, assuming 5pa1n would grind out a 1-0
>>66368629
The funniest part with Spurs is selling your players for retardedly high fees before watching fail hard everywhere else.
At least it was the case for every player I sold. Chadli ended up in L1 after being sold 25m to Roma. Bentaleb played like ten games or Juventus after being sold 45m. Kondogbia to Juventus? 38m after I bought him for 5, he never had an average higher than 6.80 or them. Bought Konoplyanka for 17m, sold him for almost 80m to PSG and he never played more than 10 games for them in one season.
The list goes longer.
>Italia
I obviously can't leave this wog out of the team (Championship), but am I wrong when I say his attributes are...kind of shit? He's not even developing that much either
>>66368961
>chillywave
>>66368988
bait
>>66369042
both goals were laffs tbf.
>>66369023
spen had 3 guys offside 2bf
>>66369017
I know what you mean. Man Utd wanted to buy Eriksen for 54m. PSG wanted half my squad basically.
>>66369044
not fucking bait is 149 good pa what is the limit m8?
>>66368988
149 is decent for the PL.
>>66369080
Fucking hell thanks, i have a regen with this and i'm in the bloody Irish premier league
>>66369102
>using Geniescout
>>66367991
If the season hasn't started yet you want to change your training to focus on cohesion so they get used to your tactics quicker, I'm not sure how intense to have the training though, I normally have high or very high preseason, but I normally end up with injuries because of it.
>>66369114
Nah, mate i'm using some other tool i bought as i wanted to change my pitch dimensions as i made a mistake pr eseason, just had a cheeky peek
>>66369067
It will slow up in a few seasons, qualifying for isn't hard at all, and you'll probably achieve it in your first season. I think I only failed to do it once, and last year (2020) I won the title with more than 100 points with Messi and Bale in the squad.
Spurs are really not challenging at all.
