how do you do. i have recently read through cleons thread on tactic tweeking has most sereous fm players have and im sure you will all agree with me the blokes a genius. has you can imagain it took me a long while reading and taking notes on all matters brought up i think im getting the jist of things. ive started with man utd because i belive with a squad as good as theres i can make mistakes and 7 times out of ten i will get away with them. ive played 5 games so far won 3 drew 2 not a bad record considering 3 games were away with arsenal villa and celtic. you may ask why that is a good record? well its because ive just picked a standard flat 442 from the drop down menu. all i have done is read the scouts report and tweek the notches accordingly not touching the indervidual settings. may i say im happy with my start but i have a few problems.

no1 i dont seem to be getting many shots on goal.

no2 im happy with my possesion in most games. im happy with my pass complition. but my crossing complition is very poor only about %5.

no3 i always watch my game in full this way i can ajust settings accordingly but my wingers never go to the byline and cross.

now i know there is a simple solution to counter this problem but i just dont know how. remember im still leaning the game. i would like to start my tactic from stratch. belive me ive tried every super tatic under the sun but after reading cleons thread realy whats the point. basically what im asking is could you maby help me with a few pointers just to get me going because i know my man utd team are not reaching there full potencial yet.

i would like to employ a basic flat 442 tatic with my wingers running forward and getting those crosses in the box. ive only purchased one player the mighty klose from bremen.

can i say thanks up front for taking time out to read my thread and look forward to hearing your views. magsdave

There actually is an option to tell player from where to cross Deep, byline or mixed. Put that on byline and have the wingers run with ball often and that should work.

Regarding the cross completion, I would assume that whoever is on the end of the cross is getting outjumped. Since Klose is not going to be outjumped often, put him in the target man list and then have your wingers aim their crosses at the target man. Then tell me where all the crosses end up, how many headers Klose wins and what the % of completion is

i knew it would be that simple ill try and get back to you thanks

well the first half was good i could actualy see my wingers running down and crossing the ball my crossing complete was %22 but then in the second half it all stopped and ended up with %8 is this because there fullbacks marked them both plus i gave ronaldo lots of creative freedom is that a bad or good thing to do. by the way i was playing liverpool away the score 1-1 i scored in the 70th they scored in the 87th should have i done somthing to defend my lead like mark all there best players plus how do you think i could have countered there 334 formation when they were losing thanks again magsdave

Ronaldo has poor creativity so give him lots is a mistake. He will try to do things that are not a good idea. Best to drop his creativity down to about 5.

As for combatting a 334 or a 4-2-4 at the end of the game try this:
