anyone here with a good crack to download the game?
Blake Murphy
What do you do with defensive midfielders with egregiously low aggression? I feel like he'd be useless as a ballwinner, probably best anchored in the DM slot. His passing is quite decent, should I train him as some sort of holding playmaker?
Are female assistant faces new as of 20.3 or did frenchy patch one in (I think assistants have a unique ID?)
Alexander Cooper
>promoted to indonesian 1 liga >spots for non-international players open >sign young brazilian midfielder and striker to be stars of my team >midfielder gets injured in the final friendly of pre-season, out for 4 months FUCK. I was hoping to make the jump to a better asian league before the season started, rejected by all the ones that had open jobs, and then this happens.
>The Cook Islands champions Tupapa Maraerenga have pulled out of Oceania Champions League Group C. The announcement came mere hours before the first match was set to take place.
>The reason for the withdrawal is that three of their players failed to confirm their immunization for measles, following the recent measles outbreak in the Pacific, and were therefore banned from taking part in the tournament.
I fucking love this tournament, better drama than any other competition
Owen Stewart
How do I stop getting rekt from dead ball situations ?
Either by conceding less free kicks or defending them better
Jaxon Sanchez
After 8 games I sit in 8th place. pretty fucking good start to the season if you ask me considering we are relegation favorites and just got promoted. Also my three toughest fixtures were all consecutive. RBL, Bayern, then Dortmund. And I got 4 points out of those three games which is brilliant. Feels good to have that 2-1 win over Bayern with my striker just beginning to find his for
Look at this little Turk, he will de-muttify this team's direct play style and help establish TURK symbiosis for this Darmstadt team with possession maintenance + pass and go style soccer This is also my third time trying to get him to unlearn the "Plays Short Simple Passes" ppm, he simply won't unlearn that fucking trait despite having fantastic passing
Mostly of course just stop conceding free kicks lmao. but if you can't then focus on fixing the GK training, namely focus on their positioning and command of area. What is your GK's "rushing out" attribute at right now? Don't wan't that to be too high. Also set team training to focus on defending set pieces.
Michael Kelly
If you're on 20, it seems that no matter what you do, the AI will always score from corners and indirect free kicks. Your defenders will usually clear the ball to the edge of the box where someone will then score an all world blooter
Joseph Cruz
how do i stop my forwards from gingerly tapping the ball directly at the opposing keeper?
Tyler Diaz
For me, its pacy white british kids i loan to sub in the 70th minute and cross an absurd amount to my striker in a conservative 4-1-4-1 against good teams. This kid is how I beat Bayern 2-1 and tied RBL 1-1 away.
for me it's the two actual spaniards lost in a sea of young mercenaries
Anthony Torres
Well, I actually have 8 Spanish players in my U19, and 23 in Castilla. Most of these mercenaries were 15 years old when I took them. When the time comes they play on the first team squad. They will become Spanish nationals. So yeah it works.
Hunter Thomas
It's unfortunate that he plays as a right back for the Swedish NT.
Dylan Roberts
I am torn between this two on who shall I start on the left. The other is currently on loan at Bayern and will return soon.
>Forge have finally made a signing >not a Borges replacement Alas.
Mason Fisher
we all know some poor dude in his 20s who actually looks like this
Adrian Rogers
What the fuck do you do about players with really low Natural Fitness? I have a regen youth DM who has 4.5 star breaking into the first time this season at 18 years old but his Natural Fitness is 6. How do I tiptoe around this problem?
Jonathan Gutierrez
/trb/
Henry Torres
My scouting department has informed me tha his horniness is 18 and one of his player traits is Tendency To Get Boners After Games During Physiotherapy
Owen Murphy
Sub.
Austin Thomas
Sub in the 70th minute every game or so? For reference he is this player. Note his low ass aggression too.
Julian Evans
If you keep him, sell him before he reaches 30.
Jackson Scott
you mean 'CS Fotbal Club FC FCSB SA' right?
Gabriel Lee
Where is the instruction for wingers/wingbacks to not blast their 35cm away opponent's tibia when trying to cross ? I can't seem to find it
Blake Hernandez
lads, im getting fm itches again... havent touched it since beta really and reading through the forums a bit, people seem to hate the living shit out of this year's match engine. is it worth falling back into this horrific addiction again? i take it they'll release a patch soon?
keep making my vancover save over and over cause i cant fall in love with the team shits annoying
Brandon Perez
I did it boys!!! First good season of my journeyman run, I've got a feeling I might stick with the mighty stranraer for a while :> After being cheated out of winning the league by terrible refereeing and my perfect morale GK leaving the club when I forgot to renew his contract I overcame the odds and had numerous pennos awarded to me by the SFA's finest.
this is basically how the club is run IRL so don't blame yourself
Jason Green
This is absolutely the wrong striker to have in a counter attacking system. he's been pretty shit for me. i shouldve bought some large target man type from the english or german leauge, not this effete hispanic poacher. no wonder he was so cheap.
nah, a fast poacher is great in a counterattacking system, but you probably need a guy with better composure

>DM with low aggression in the trash he goes unless he can play DLP well
Angel Morris
he's trash. low concentration & composure are awful for a stiker. low work rate & most importantly low PACE are killing him from being anything more than medicore at any role. toss him
Julian Turner
yeah im about to bin him in the upcoming winter window. I take solace in the fact that i got him for peanuts from Bilbao, which should've been a red flag in hindsight.

Find a quality left back or right back with good physical attributes, and solid defensively, covert them works every time.
Aaron Jackson
is 20.3.0 the final update or will they be releasing latest transfers in a new one?
Cameron Brooks
Pls help what's wrong with my tiktok
Xavier Rivera
what issues are you having with it, user? conceding too much or not scoring enough? then breaking that down is a good place to start (e.g. what area of the pitch are the goals leaking in from or, if you're not scoring enough, is your striker actually getting good enough chances from central areas in front of goal and he's just shit or is your midfield not creating enough).
overall it's quite an attacking tactic, your front four won't do much defensively (positive+attack duty=very attacking), so it depends on how good your team is. i can see you having issues on the counter though, APa won't defend, BBM could be caught high up the pitch and both WBs will generally be quite aggressive too.
personally, i'd change right WBs to FBs, so he can cover for BBM better, APa to APs (there's already IFa and CFa making runs into the box, so he should focus more on supplying them, rather than being a threat himself) and your right IFs to Ws for some variety (he'll help stretch the defence with staying wide and thus make space for your AP/BBM to run into); make sure he's a right footer though, otherwise he'll naturally drift inside onto his stronger foot. perhaps you could also change CFa to Pa, since you already have AP and IF both looking for risky passes (being creative), so maybe you could benefit from a simple out-and-out scorer, rather than someone who's trying to do it all.
or you could just maximise your closing down, then nothing else matters, because muh gegenpress is broken as fuck.

Based thank you I was having trouble some games scoring and some goals conceding at least 3... Played this game so much and there's still so much I don't understand
Michael Bennett
>wonderkid gets his 2nd 9 month long injury before the age of 20 it fucking hurts lads
Christian Jenkins
"Wonderkid"
Aiden Edwards
5 games in a row I've conceded from my own corner. How do I fix this?
fuck you stupid bitch i made my tictok a 4-2-4 engache (4-1-1-3-1 assymmetrical DM) honestly i play short passing against more direct teams because my CBs are both natural DM's who can pass. i find that engagches have to have 15+ passing and then your striker can literally walk the ball into the net. enganches can allow a possession based team retain possession in the box if most of your other forwards shart their pants and sky the ball into the crowd the moment they the get the ball in the opposing teams box
Luke Flores
>Why is Enganche such a shit role ? Because SI made it a caricature of Riquelme, and on top of that they gave it low Mentality. Even if you had a very slow player with no Stamina, you'd still rather play them as Treq: even if you don't ask them to defend, at least they're allowed to move.

My brother once had a broken tictac with 3atb, 2 WBs, 2 Mezzala and 3 AF. It wasn't supposed to work the way it was but he won the CL on his 4th season with Forrest.

Great signing if he stays fit but if I was a bookie I'd make exploding knees a heavy favourite here
Daniel Brooks
Not a great year this time. Especially after getting a starter caliber player last time. Not even any qt dual national memes.
>stop playing a DM in favor of a CAM instead >still play the same direct style with WM (a) on both flanks and a DLF up top >am a relegation candidate team >suddenly start playing amazingly better /trb/ told me that you NEED a DM anchored if you have a shit team though
Grayson Turner
I'm trying to request more coaching badges but after I do the first message about wanting to take on a coaching course, their first reply to me is blank, and I have no reply options. What do?
Jordan Butler
nah, it's the opposite really. you can get away with a lot of kick and run bullshit as a lesser team, and you'll be pressed back into your own half a lot so even support-role midfielders will probably end up doing a lot of defending. it's when you're a top side that you really need a DM, someone who can control play at the back and also allow your wingbacks to push up higher
Easton Phillips
just restarted the game and reloaded a save from a couple (in game) days before I was going to make my request. Worked fine that time, and got my request. Weird.
Hudson Evans
my home academy feller might actually become the best GK in the world, though he's a bit of a slow developer (but at least no burnout amirite)
wish I could get his determination and leadership up a bit and he'd be perfect
I'm never really sure how patient I'm supposed to be with goalkeepers as far as development goes. Maybe one of these days I'll get a good one in the intake.
Adrian Taylor
Ok that makes sense nerd. My fullbacks are both on FB (s) with out and out wingers ahead of them so playing with an anchored DM held back my offensive capabilities alot
William Smith
I have a question for you guys about Swedish. Why would the name Kellman be pronounced somewhat like Shellman? I thought the sh- sound was a dipthong relying on Sk- or Sj- rather than just K-.
Aiden Gutierrez
desu I have no idea but that surname sounds like it originally was "kjellman" and the pronounciation has stuck
Samuel Lee
Is it a bug to only ever be offered 120k playing / 96k non-playing fees for loans now?
Jaxon Perez
it's your tactics
Dylan Nguyen
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Found it weird. Thank you perkele.
well shit, last fm I played was 2007,how would you setup this team to take advantage of the available players? the team is dinamo bucuresti
Oliver Richardson
>how would you setup this team to take advantage of the available players? I don't know your squad, so I wouldn't be able to guess. You know your squad depth, you know what formation makes sense relative to the positions the players can play or can be trained in. I can only judge the tactics.
Leo Murphy
it sure aint the greatest, I'll adjust some duties according to that pdf
Yeah it's China I've never seen it before, it seems so weird that it is the SECOND tiebreaker
Lucas Taylor
...Sort by best position, and remove best role column. Players need to do what the team needs, not what the team wants. Nobody cares about their favourite role.
this is the squad they have in real life, I haven't bought a single player If you could fire up the game and set up a suitable tactic for them I'd be grateful
Nolan Bailey
>f you could fire up the game and set up a suitable tactic for them I'd be grateful No. They most likely have randomised attributes and hidden attributes, so we cannot do that. Those players are unique to your save.
Benjamin Wood
I don't own FM20 so I will go ahead and suggest you only sort by "position" so you can recognize that you can play whatever AML or DM at AMR to alleviate the bias seen amongst your players' capable positions.
Nathaniel Adams
I thought real players always had the same attributes in each save
John James
They certainly don't, and that includes non-players as well. You can have every attribute fixed for the biggest players/coaches, you can have some attributes fixed and the rest randomized, you can just have the CA/PA range, or you can also have nothing at all, in which case the people will have completely random attributes.
Sebastian Jackson
is this any better? not too sure about the instructions
That central midfield pairing is still shit, the CD duty pairing makes no sense when you're lowering the D-line, stop caring about the favourite roles a player has since it's only your AssMan's opinion of what they should play as, and you should've read the guide.
You should've read the guide and the OP.
Elijah Brooks
I'm trying to build the team around this guy, since he's my best player, what else can I do to succeed?
Good tactics and the team having good understanding of the tactic is more important than a single player. Read the guides already, and be strict with your players. That's it.
Nathan Brown
this is what I settled on, I'll try it out and post results
thats his main flaw irl as well >gets the ball >dribbles around opponent who inevitably body checks him lightly >falls over and get a free kick this happens at least 10 times eatch match,its either this or he keeps dribbling past 2-3 guys then plays it sideways cause there's no option, if this guy knew when to release the damn ball he'd be playing in serie a, not our shit league
Wyatt Nguyen
It was absolute garbage, I'm surprised we won that shit.
>5 shots on target vs 14 >win 3-1 the beautiful game la
Tyler King
lads what sort of tactic would you recommend vs much better opposition? I was doing well with a counter-attacking brexit footy style tactic similar to this in the league below but since promotion I've been getting the arse pumped off me by teams with single players worth my whole teams value any help is appreciated xxxx
>vs much better opposition? At those levels, the quality of the opposition is irrelevant and that's not your problem. You have no attack, and you play too low on the pitch. That's why you're getting your shit pushed in. AM(S) with no outlets makes no sense because it's a role that does absolutely nothing but play simple riskless passes, especially in a Cautious setup, ESPECIALLY with "Be More Disciplined". Not that it matters since you're Passing Into Space and with a TM(A), it means the balls are going over the AM's head anyway.
De/St CB duties with a low(er) defensive line opens up the half-spaces when the Stopper moves forward. Focus Play Down the Left doesn't do what you think it does, you should read the flavour text.
