For some reason im getting pasted in each game - just lost 3-0 to Derby??

Im Newcastle -

4-1-3-2

Given
Carr, Naldo, Taylor, Babayaro
Barton
Dyer, Zogbia, Geremi
Saviola, Martins

Attacking
Direct
pressing no
Offside no.

DC's man mark, full backs zonal, no forward runs, midfield no marking.
DMC man marking, forward runs no.

the rest as it is??

IS it the team or tactic?

retired_trip4sim

can't be the team, with that squad you shouldn't lose to Derby. Try switching tactics around...

retired_jodie0720

Set pressing to yes.

I'm having great success with this tactic at the moment.

retired_brotwoman

Just Pressing - not offside.

what about the marking - that look ok?

retired_jodie0720

I just wanted to check the marking for you but now my game won't load!! I have 2 saved game files, am at the end of 2014 and niether will load! Is this problem going to be sorted for the next release? GGrrrrr!

Anyway, as far as I can remember I have no offside just pressing and your marking set up looks ok.

retired_brotwoman

just found this......anyone tried this

4-1-3-2
att
direct
hard
pressing-yes
also set the middle of the 3 mc as your playmaker

retired_brotwoman

ok, Ive answered my own question - using this im flying currently 3rd in prem after beating Arsenal 1-0, Chelsea 3-0 (CC) and a few others.

The above should read offside yes - pressing no.

Other 4-1-3-2 have said that their centre mid (my case Zogbia) would score 20 season?? hes yet to score....hes my best shooter.

Ive looked and not one of my players are long shot yes??? should he be as Playmaker??

also, Emre has been 82% for 3 months>>after an injury...how do I get him fit....ive put him on fitness training?

retired_Diplan

The thing about longshots is that they're not always reported by the scout so you should check back a few times.

The thing you have with Emre is something that happens to me a lot too. Fitness won't help. It has something to do with that you're probably in the late season and he's like "mentally" tired or so. (Marc Vaughan explained that better somewhere but now I cant find it.)

retired_brotwoman

emre - its only December 1st.....cant get him better than 86%???

this has happened before with Matt Jansen?? he got injured for my leeds team then he never regained fitness.

retired_Diplan

Hmm. Thats quite early. I think you could you just play him as a sub and let him play when you've already won (or lost) the game.
