I'm not going to let this game beat me so over the next few days i'm going to write down what i've learnt reading all the threads and hopefully people can say where i'm going wrong

so lets start with the Target Man and please someone say if this isnt right or i'm missing something (playing 4-4-2)

Height

Jumping
Heading
Bravery
Nice to have a bit pace even more so in the lower leagues as he will cause problems for slow centre halfs

Supply to him will be mixed
Mental Home lower than team while away have the same as team
Forward Runs set to rarely
He must hold up the ball
Creative freedom set to low
Crosses from the byline and cross aim mixed
All other setting set to mixed

Closest winger and full back to the target man cross to mixed on the other side set to far post.

Questions:

Should he not also have good finishing as after all he is a forward or does that have to go when playing in lower leagues when you can not be a fussy?

Supply to the TM should that be head again when in lower league and build up to mixed as you get better TM?

Anything else?

Thanks

1. The target man you are talking about is a provider. Finishing would be nice because inevitably he will be in a scoring position from time to time, but it's not his main purpose.

2. Supply should be dependant on the target man you have. If he's big and strong, to head is a no brainer. If he's fast with good off the ball skills, playing it in front of him makes more sense.

Do you ever think about how things work in real football? Both of those things are absolutely common sense, not specific to FM at all.
