No matter what anyone says, there is a roll a dice when you start the game 🤣 how many times have I been on a winning run, saved the game turned it on a day or 2 later and suddenly bognor Regis are playing like Barcelona and pasting my team. Seriously though, glad the channel is getting back up and going again.
Regarding role recommendations, the game also hates giving Complete Forward more than 1 star unless the player is top-league good in all fronts. You can, say, be in the Conference Regionals, have a player that has a 12 in all attributes for a Complete Forward, but the game will always give the role 1 star because he's just not great, even though other roles are rated well.
True for RPM, CWB, and to some extent RMD and RGA as well. Even if your players have 12 on the key attributes for those roles, the game still rates it as 1★ if you are lower league side.
Bit hard to explain this one but I feel the game intentionally gives you just what you need. For example first season after promotion always feels a bit easier, when on deadline day you get offered just the right players, your DoF just happens to know a brilliant prospect from Mali even though he has no knowledge there, towards the end of the season results in other matches in the league tend to go in your favor slightly more than expected etc. Not that I'm against this, in fact it would make complete sense to sort of give us players a tiny nudge for us to enjoy the game and keep playing. But maybe it's just my tinfoil hat feeling, I honestly don't know 😅
As your reputation increases how you're played against changes. Your first season in a top league say teams are trying to ram the ball down your throat and you're taking advantage of it on the counter. As your reputation increases they are more cautious and suddenly you can't score anymore. Second season syndrome as a real life idea doesn't exist for nothing.
Hey man, love your videos. Direct to the point and clear cut just the way I like'em. I'm rather new to game and I'm trying to make a tactic, but not sure how to really go about it just yet. If there's a video that can shine some light on this that I don't know of it would be great! Cheers man.
Anyone know how u get the green links between players? Sometimes I get them very fast other times I finish the season and not a single green link shows up 🤔
This adding too many instructions might be the reason my tactics that worked so well in the championship aren't working with new players in the premier league. Or it could be that the board only allowed me to spend 39 million?
@@fmscout plus I play on the console so following what you're doing...it's a bit daunting to find some of the information that's readily available on the PC
New players need time to understand and adjust to the tactics you are using, just give them time. You can check how familiar your players are with your tactics through the tactical familiarity bar.
Fm scout its brilliant ur back 👏 I don't believe in the star rating of players but each to an other but instructions to players I find them pointless because the players will operate to there own ability and perform when they want to
Scripted/Fixed Matches. No matter how good your tactic is and the new players you brought into the club, there will be some matches that you just won't win... those matches that you have xG of 2.90 and 11 shots on target and then finally you score and they score just right in the next minute.

@@henku340 It's really not that hard to understand... I've broke FM22 tactically. I was starting saves left and right, refining a tactic, adapting PI's to players and vice-versa, everything combed through as I did in the previous versions of this game I've been playing since its CM times... after that I would start with a lower level club and implement the tactic and find key players for that tactic. And things work great. But... for example, in PT League, I start with a modest Braga. First game of the season was against FC Porto, a great team. Won, by 2. Then I kept playing and noticed Benfica was winning everything, just like Sporting, while Porto already lost some points. And Porto has a better team than Benfica, Sporting or even Braga. When I play against those two teams, mid-season, I just can't win. Simple. Unless I save-scum a lot of games, which I don't, but I save that particular period of time and then I number-bash, either by changing line-ups, by changing players. And every single game is the same until the break-point is triggered. But in fact, most of them act the same way, since Benfica, Sporting and Porto have a better World Reputation (a stat the FM match engine uses to create results), the engine simply don't let you win. Your team will create chances, have a great xG, either may have goals but they would be either invalidated (lots by offsides) or just reduced to a draw by either a goal in the next minute or a stupid penalty when your team haven't conceded any penalties in the season so far. It's ridiculous and it exists. Then I port the same tactic to a team like Everton or Newcastle, with money and talent, players in the CA of 150 and some, and then I play against Liverpool or against ManUtd (LOL!) and I simply won't win due to that factor. Another curious fact, when I do win against said teams, their impossible-winning-streaks revert back to normal and the teams start to lose some points here and there. But until that happens, those teams will keep winning and winning, even against opponents that stole points from other teams of the same reputation and my own. This was exposed and talked a lot in Reddit, with screenshots and so on... it's not new and we all know this happens.
Im getting nuts! Ive seen in a video that you can have a column at selection screen that shows in how many matches a player has played over the last 5 games of your team. So its not the last 5 game form but what that player has played in the last 5 games. Im tired of seeking and trying to find it out. I thought i saw it at your channel but i didnt found it back. Im losing so much time to check who played what match because i rotate very much... pls help
With regards to star ratings [ Lollujo watching? ] also a thing is if your Team should be promoted & you want players say in Prem, any new players` will be judged against your current Championship players`.
I've heard people talking about AI will learn/exploit your tactics so make sure you alter you tactics from season to season... It doesn't seem true to me at least. Guess that's also a myth?
So I just started playing fm last week, completely hooked and addicted I got Leyton orient promoted to league one first season I played then even though I was predicted relegated contenders in the season after I managed to get 4th and win in my playoff final vs Oxford and got them to the championship. Now, the reason why I did so well in that season was because I set up this effective counter attack strategy. I was unbeaten for around 20 games I think. Then, out of nowhere, I started getting destroyed. Lost the form completely and everything was going bad. I then changed the tactic to a more aggressive, direct tiki taka (and got a couple of Chelsea loanees) and I was winning again. Then that died out, and I went back to my original strategy, and ended up finishing strong and managed to get promotion. This made me realise that the game does actually learn your tactics after a while and gets the opposition to set up perfectly for you. So I’m pretty sure that it’s not a myth.
@@nighTmareCSGO if it was mid-season then it might go down to the "winter form" that happens around middle of the season, plus the AI do start to play differently after half a season especially when you over-perform a lot(they would start to treat you as a good team instead of underdog). But yeah, I'm not fully certain about whether the AI really learns your tactics but I'd just always adjust when I lost form, I guess that's always the right thing to do.
Do you think that there're cursed saves? For example, 2 new saves. everything the same almost the same. one of them I ended in 1st, the 2nd I ended in 5th..
@@andrerodrigues3583 , it's just insane. If it goes well I can play with the under 19's and win easily almost every game. In other saves it's a nightmare..
I do think FM is scripted at times. In FM22 took York from Vanarama North to Premier League. Second season in the Prem having qualified for Champions League in the first season. Was struggling, then FM23 came out. Suddenly I won every game, other clubs lost most of their games and I won Prem and Champions League. Time to buy FM23 then...!
So you're saying the developers specifically timed the release of fm23 to coincide with your York save and somehow made sure you started winning just so you would buy fm23 at that exact time? If you said it tongue in cheek then fair enough but if you were being serious then I'm sorry I just don't buy that at all mate.
@@Ant_FM My team going from relegation candidates to League and European champions with no tactic or player change whilst every other team collapsed must have been purely down to my FM tactical genius then. Thanks for the props. x

You just forget all the injuries you had when you haven't used your subs.
