Hi, the problem i have found with my teams on the new FM is possession. Despite creating plenty of chances i struggle with possesion. I have tried different passing styles to try and keep the passing short therefore less chances of mistakes etc. but this hasn't worked. I recently had a home friendly against Lyon (i'm playing as Middlesbrough) and my possession was a poor 37% at home. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

It would perhaps help if you put up formation and style etc, but in a standard 4-4-2 i find these settings on the sliders works:

Passing, tempo, width all on lowest of normal.
Timewasting, Dline one to the right of middle.
Closing down on the first of whole pitch.

I have individual settings in some positions but reguarly get over 60% possession with this formation.

Hope this can help, or give you a starting position to build on, a tactic is never finished
