Right I thought I would bring up my old thread after a dire run of form cost me promotion. After previously 5 defeats all season I managed to lose 9 of the last 13. Im gonna post all my instructions so people can knit pick and help me understand what im doing wrong.
Bare in mind I tweek individual player instructions (run with ball/through balls etc) depending on players stats. Fullback Centre Back Defensive Midfielder Midfield D Midfielder A Winger Striker
The way I want my formation to play is the DC and DMC stay back at nearly all times while the fullbacks only attack when neccisairly. The MCD is meant to be the work hard midfielder who does all the donkey work for the MCA. The wingers are fast and pacey.
My overall plan is to control possession and stop the opposition from creating anything of note.
Now thanks in advance, any suggestions welcome |
Well theirs the instuctions, well as for wahts going wrong my team were doing brilliant last season losing only 5 games in 34 yet in the last 12 games of the season I managed to lose 8 with 3 wins and 1 draw.
I realise teams were probally taking my side a little more seriously than perhaps begining of the season when we were predicted a mere 17th place.
At the begining of the slide I was ranked 4th, I ended finishing 13th. I did however notice that my fullbacks passing in most games had become pretty poor. They were struggling to reach 50%, I also tend to find that my right sided players dont appear to get into the game at all compared to their leftsided counterparts.
Anyway to sum up my main problems which probally led to these dire results, I struggle to break teams down at home if I dont get a early goal. I ussually have at least 50% possesion ussually alot closer to 55-60% but with little penetration. Where away I concede alot more goals, at home I concede about 0.5 goals where away I concede around 1.5ish, this obviously has me at a clear disadvantage as I need maybe 2 or 3 goals to win a game
My home form last season was:
P23 W9 D8 L6 F23 A16
My away form was
P23 W7 D8 L8 F23 A25
4 of the home defeats came in the last 13 games, while 5 of the away defeats also came in teh same period.
I realise I havent been that helpful so far and this post is abit all over the place but I am trying to get all my problems down.
Thanks in advance
