Something rather strange is happening for me at Atletico. I've got two strikers, Caracciolo and Aguero, and I've set up Caracciolo as a Target Man. Everything standard, nothing exceptional. The curious thing is that every cross is resolutely aimed at Aguero, not Caracciolo. I've looked at every variable and double checked everything (including the TM list) and I'm at a loss to understand what's going on. I even set every single one of my players to 'Cross To - Target Man,' to no avail.

Can anyone tell me what I'm not seeing? I get the impression it's something rather obvious I've neglected.

Cheers.

post screenies of your team settings and winger settings

hi, Ensure that you do not have bot players as target men. I found that when using Berb and mido at spurs they always targeted Mido and pretty much kept Berb out of the game.

You have ticked Use Target Man, right? Sorry, I know it's obvious, but you never know...

Either that, or Aguero has too much freedom, so he's too far ahead of Caracciolo.

are the mentalities heavily split??

The problem was I changed my tactic to a new one and didn't change the TM list from my old one. I emptied out the list and added them back and all is well.

Thanks for the help anyway.

I had the same in my Sporting Lisbon game.
2 Forwards:
SC Chilikov (Towering Target Man) closer to the left
FC Djalo closer to the right.
Use TM ticked ON.
At some point I decided to swap their positions but Chilikov was still as TM.
Since then my team played many balls to Djalo as he was now closer to the left. He wasnt too good in the air so I tried few changes but first ticked OFF Use TM instruction (but left Chilikov on the TM list). None of them got too many balls so after few games I ticked Use TM instruction back ON and everything got back to normal.
Try this but I cant promise it will work.
Maybe Im wrong but I guess my team was so used to playing to LFC that they didnt seem to notice my TTM was not there anymore
