Hey, I need a bench. Texted your options. Also there are instructions listed are for LW/RW and LM/RM but this formation shows as 4312 with 3 LCM, CM, RCM, CAM and LS/RS so just want to confirm the instructions you want and for who or if it’s a different formation. If formation is correct, I set Hazard and Sancho as LCM and RCM as close as I could (stay on edge of box for cross, positioning free roam) Also since it wasn’t listed I went with attacking width as 50, players in box as 5, and Corners/FKs as 3. Let me know if you were wanting something different
No worries. If I have it by morning along with clarification on Willpepe’s stuff that will work out nicely. Set up can take a bit of time so I’d have all day to knock that out for a sim in the afternoon
Just quoting so you know I updated. GK Martínez Def: Tierney and Porro Mid: Neuhaus, Lemar Att: Paulinho, Werner
SL Benfica 4-2-3-1 (wide) Ederson; Mendy, Gvardiol, Kjaer, Timber; Kroos, Fabinho; Tadic, Reus, McKennie; Son Bench: Osimhen, Tonali, Asensio, Olmo, Romero, Zinchenko, Vlachodimos Captain: Kjaer Left short FK: Reus Right short FK: Tadic Long FK: Kroos Left corner: Kroos Right corner: Kroos Penalties: Tadic For the sake of getting started tomorrow, just leave everything default. I’ll update that once I begin my inevitable slide down the table. Many thanks as always!
Alright, got everything in. If you want changes at some point, please make a new post here and I’ll keep a running list of what changes need made. Anything not set up when we start means I have to do it in all 3 competitions so I try to keep separate lists of League, UCL and Cup, don’t hesitate to remind or ask to confirm if I got the changes into the other competitions since League is where we are simming most.
Second tactic due to Suarez red card. 4-3-3 False 9 All default unless specifically mentioned below. CF: Defensive Support (Come Back) LW: Chance Creation (Cut Inside), Support Runs (Get In Behind) RW: Support Runs (Get In Behind) DM: Defensive Behavior (Cut Passing Lanes), Positioning Freedom (Free Roam) LB: Attacking Runs (Join The Attack), Run Type (Overlap) RB: Attacking Runs (Join The Attack) GK: Saving Outside Box (Sweeper Keeper) Tactics: Defending Style: Press after possession loss Width: 60 Depth: 70 Offense Build Up Play: Slow Build Up Chance Creation: Possession Width: 70 Players in box: 6 Corners: 3 Free Kicks 3
It does even for this week. You’ve got 2 of each league and wildcard. Let me know if you want it in for today and if you want any instructions, they don’t carry over on formation changes

You’re good. I’ll unlike this post of yours and then just like it when it’s done Also is this just a change for league or for anything else?
Just for the league, unless that fucks with you for the cup stuff. If so you can change it on the other comps too.

SugarShaun I'll stick with the 5-4-1 except start Hateboer at RWB and move Valverde to the bench. Also Bebou to the bench and Wilson to reserves please. thanks
Got it. Added to my list. I’ll also update that changes you had planned to make before the switch to 541 on the team sheet for the other formation next home match That way if you decide to switch back at some point it’s updated to the most recent changes you wanted
sounds good, thanks. Also since the next FA Cup is Thursday iirc I'm going to go back to regular starters more or less rather than the rotation: ST: Morata LW: Insigne RW: Di María LM: Cucurella LCM: Parejo RCM: Gündoğan RM: Angeliño LCB: Ramos CB: Fernando RCB: Dias GK: Sommer Bench: Turner Pau Hateboer Forsberg Valverde Bebou Moreno also please change RM Support Runs to Get In Behind
SugarShaun in my never ending search for a decent RM option I'm going back to 3-4-3 for league with this change: Di Maria to RM, Bebou to RW, Hateboer to bench Also change RM Support Runs to Get In Behind FA Cup will be as in the post just before this one Not sure if it's a lot of trouble to do daily changes but I'm having fun tweaking things based on nothing but data
I appreciate you putting them in this thread so I just keep both open and it’s easier to track that way
