First of all, this isn't a moan thread. I don't beleive that the game is pre determained or any of that stuff.
But, it's proven that there seems to be a certain types of match, where the opposistion keeper is quality throughout and then they go and win the match! Fair enough, it happens in real life, i know. But not every match(as what is happening to me at the moment).
My question is, what should i look out for when this happens? Is it a way of FM saying there is something wrong in my tactics? There must be something i can do to correct this poor form, i was 1st on a 10 match winning streak before.
Close down often on the opponent GK, hard tackling on GK and show him on weaker foot.
This gives 3 possibilities which may give you a win:
1. The GK gets closed down while trying to pass by your strikers and loses the ball - you score. Happens once every 15 games or so for me.
2. The GK gets injured coz of your hard tackling and gets to a low level of fitness - performs much worse for the rest of the game.
Happens once every 30 games or so for me.
3. The GK gets injured and has to be substituted. Happens once every season or so for me -.-
"1. The GK gets closed down while trying to pass by your strikers and loses the ball - you score. Happens once every 15 games or so for me."
Sry badly worded, should be
"1. The GK gets closed down by your strikers while he's trying to pass and loses the ball - you score. Happens once every 15 games or so for me."
Btw I don't believe that a super GK is a way of FM saying there is something wrong in the tactics. I think more info is needed, such as how many games you experienced this in a row, the match stats, the teams etc to properly analyse your situation.

Fair enough. I'm not just talking about the keeper playing well. I just mean the bad streaks which occur for no reason. I know bad streaks happen for teams in real life, but surely there must be a way of stopping the streak? i can't seem to. I'm in contention of winning the league but if i dont win my next 10 games then obviously i've blown the chance. There must be a way of stopping the poor performances?
THe problem of the amazing opponents keeper has been going on ever since i've been playing champ/FM. Annoying. As for the sreaks, I've I think this is a real problem for me in this game. I'll go on a run of a few games winning, but then one defeat and I can go on a streak of 10 games without a win and 8 of those will be defeats, and there is no difference between if I play top of the league or a team in the relegation zone.
Streaks are mainly morale related. Although losing matches due to poor tactical choices will reduce morale so this is the root cause.
On the teamtalk feedback screen you will get an indication as to what your squad morale is. This is different from individual player morale. You can get this to rise quickly if you make the correct media comments. Also critise key players who don't seem to be pulling there weight, taking into account there reputation of course.
If it gets really bad you can ask one of your players to call a meeting to discuss the problem. If you choose a well respected player then he can raise morale also.

Yea this is what i mean. There must be a way of stopping it though, or no one would ever win anything!!
