Post your lineups and tactics here Some big changes this year that I’ll lay out below. Please read. Please also let me know your club choice. You need to provide me with all of the following: Club, starting XI, bench, assignments, tactics, player roles and focus Important notes: Pay attention to how you the formation you choose lines up. For example: 4-2-3-1 has wings as LAM and RAM not LM/LW and RM/RW so has different role options than 4-2-3-1 (2) or any 4-3-3. Link to the Season thread: Formation: I’ll post pics of all available formations. It does not appear I can do a custom formation any longer. Assignments (you must choose someone for each): Captain Left Short FK Right Short FK Long FK Penalties Left Corner Right Corner Corner Kick Target Corner Kick Near Post Corner Kick Far Post Corner Tactics: 3 presets then I’ll break down the options for custom tactics. FC Preset: A direct approach with focuses on breaking down defenses with quick and incisive attacking runs Direct Play: Front-footed tactics that are all about recovering possession, getting forward and putting the ball into the back of the net Cautious: A cautious approach which asks the team to prioritize limiting opposition’s chances rather than creating their own Custom: Build-up style: Balanced, Short Passing, Counter Defensive approach: Can manually adjust from 1-100 for how high you want your back line or select a preset number: Deep (25), Balanced (50), High (75), Aggressive (95)

Any way to automate substitution patterns? Ex bringing on guys at 60 minute mark or playing the B lineup every few games
I can try to set it up because it does show me quick subs but on previous versions that didnt carry over for sims, just when actually playing
That was supposed to say “I cannot in good conscience” the game will allow it, my belief system does not. Thank you for understanding
It’s going to be interesting to see how the tactical tweaks to the game this year play out in this sim. I’m realizing Dembele doesn’t have striker as an available position so he might just wander around aimlessly now.
There’s a zero percent chance Trent is going to have any idea what he is doing at right midfield for me. Just gonna send him out and tell him to express himself

Is Pescara in the game? I know they got promoted from Serie C this past season and dolphins are cool. If not, I'll take Schalke.

Target player, near post, and far post have to be different players Please also give a focus for within their role
Attention All I’m about 2/3 done with rosters except what we have left to draft Please make sure to make a post here with: Lineup/formation Bench Assignments Tactics Player roles and focus I will need all of these before we can start the sim. If you think you want another option, and want to provide me with 2 sets of formation/tactics/etc, I’m happy to take them up front so it’ll be easy to change for you. The league, cup, and UCL are set up as 3 separate competitions so changes made in one, won’t carry over to another (same with injuries and red cards). I think we will finish up draft tomorrow or Tuesday so I’d say please get everything to me by Friday. Once I like your post, don’t edit it, make a new post for any change/update. That’s my way of keeping track that I’ve got your stuff done.
