Definately have the creative players on high CF :thup:

Probably 0-5 variable for CF for non creative players is the way to go then Mitja, so that it's a bit more flexible for most players. After all, you do get centre-backs occasionally who have say, 10 creativity, so it makes sense to let them have a bit more leeway.

thinking why I even give some CF to my CB is simple. just that he can choose what kind of pass he wants to play. maybe becouse I play direct/fast. to tell you the truth I didn't have much succses on FM08 but I think I'm quite succesfull at tactics as my team do create chances/ defends well, it's just my strikers don't score...

I play 3-6-1(3-1-3-2-1) with short pass and slow tempo, so my possesion hasnt increased, stayed at 60%(depending of the opposition team it tends to be lower but never lower than 50%).

My teams creativity isnt great overall. My best creativity player has 17, but has poor decisions and flair. The one i let be creativy now is my AMC wich has 15 Creat, 14 Flair and 13 Deci.

When trying this on your team, remember that Teams Talk plays a HUGE role on how your players plays(take a look at "A Manual to Team Talk" on the pc forum) and that your team can be just playing badly(happens like twice a season depending on Team Talk).

About Strikers dont scoring its happens a lot. I think it happens more than it should, but we have to live with it. The solutions I have found for it is to rotate your Strikers. Put the problematic one on the bench for like 3 games than call him back. I usually do this when they have like 9 hours without scoring...

I only have 1 player on 14 CF the rest of my team is one 4 for CF..and I'm using a top side

Im using it on a brazilian second division team that i managed to get to first and stay on top mid table. With my normal tactic(6 for team, 14/15 for good players) I got good results, but with team 0 and player 11/12 im getting much better ones till now

I have just see the comment about not getting much chances with low CF.
I usually get 20+ against lower teams, 15+ against teams of same level and 10+ against teams better than mine. The exception is when im having a bad time on my team(as I said happens twice a season and endures for 3-5 games), when that is happening i usually get 5-7 chances

I tried it on my team, I felt that it might've been some improves but im not really sure where to look for them...by "my team actually plays a more attractive, passing orientated football" what do you mean by that? More chance created? More shot on goal? Better pass completion?
I always get 20+ shots on a normal game (the ones I lose at are usually around 10).
My question is...does CF has to be set to 5 or 0 for most players for them to be following your instructions and play good football?

I think it depends on the player and most of the time you will want them to dont improvise. I mean, if you get a big stupid CD, you dont want him to think, just grab the ball and kick it to the other side as much as he can. But if you have an intelligent one like... dont know, maybe cannavaro, you can give him some liberty to do what he want some times. I think that if you play on a team that the players are not very intelligent, dont make them think... just tell them where to run and when to shoot, maybe thinking is not for them right?

In some of my formations because they are so attacking, its absolutely critical that players hold their positions, and thats only possible if you have low CF
