Where do you use your PLAYMAKER? 🚨
A thread….🧵
In
#FM24
we can have either a defensive playmaker, or a more attacking one... but I think this placement, in regards to team playing style, is often under-looked...
Here's why...

Have you thought it’s NOT a about Hilsborogh at all? And maybe that Liverpool always think the world is against them and never shut up whinging??

Everyone should give it a try. It makes you think about the game differently.
It removes the "this player has 15 shooting so I'll start the guy with 16 shooting instead" and forces bigger picture thinking.

Here's the slightly tweaked 4-2-3-1 which got us to 4th place in season 1 with NO additional signings.
I'll get onto the tweak later but here's some stats:
Goals: 73 (2nd)
Conceded: 54 (9th)
Possession: 55% (6th)

Not long to go in the La Liga season. Looking promising...
11 games left (for me) as well as a Cup Final vs Real Madrid.... could be on for the double....

Ahhh now it’s all falling into place. Went in with an agenda and would’ve come out with something to be offended about regardless.
@JeremyClarkson
I genuinely got a warning from Facebook a few weeks back for saying:
“Hamilton isn’t winning now he’s not got the best car”.
Unbelievable.
Tip 2: Wage Budgets
See your total weekly wage budget? Let’s turn it into a wage cap.
Here’s how. Get your calculator out:
Wage budget – 30%
They figure given is then how much each group of players can earn combined. The rest goes on youth and reserves:

I’m going to defend Chris here:
He came to us clearly not match-fit and then got injured. Potentially as a result.
Give him a pre-season and then let’s judge him.
@GaryLineker
Yet kids the same age are allowed/encouraged to have their bodies mutilated and sterilised, cheered on by groomers.
Which is it? Are they old enough to make these decisions or not?
@callumcasteln
Oh come on now. Do better.
There’s an entire world full of Head Coaches out there.
And a lot of much better coaches than Cooper who’d come to the Prem.
Can’t believe you want to stick with him. Getting worse each week.

CONCLUSION:
If you're a manager who likes to control the game in the oppositions half, you may want to try a DLP.
If you're a counter-attacking kind of manager, try a AP with good speec and dribbling to drive your team forward with frightening pace.
FIND THE SPACE!
Tip 1: Squad balance!
How many Important/Key players do you have in your squad? These cost more in wages. Do you really need more than 3 or 4? No, you don’t!
Squad balance is important as it also increases squad harmony. 2/9
The first transfer window should be disabled by default.
Makes it much better to play with the hand the real life manager has been dealt. Makes the game harder too when you can’t immediately make your team better.

@SIgames
Check ME out playing a 4-3-3!!
Of course I'm not, it's a 5-2-2-1... except the AMs are much more useful. If the right AM was asked to stay wider it'd be hard to tell the difference.
Roll on Monday!

🤦♂️🤦♂️ if we’re aiming for mid table we need to put these teams away when we have chance.
Granted the line up was continually disrupted hy injuries but still…
As part of writing my 3-5-2 article I’m going to test out my theories and system with a true under dog.
I’m starting unemployed, summing until December and then taking over a team in the relationship zone…
I’ll keep you updated on how it goes …

It never happened. It was “always cheating”. It happened everything they threw themselves to the floor.
They’re just making it up because they’re perpetual victims and can’t figure out why everyone hates them.
Anyone find themselves sat in work meetings trying to visualise the player position and role chances involved in switching from one formation to another?
Think I’m too excited for the

An ex-colleague of mine worked with some media companies and she heard LOTS about Phil and Matthew. Phil used to demand that his little friend be employed on every show he worked on… 🤮. Including getting people fired so he could step in.
@JPercyTelegraph
The same players who’s not only been terrible and is nowhere near fit, but has also given away two penalties and a goal??? He’s got some nerve!!!!
Had a fascinating time looking through my grandads “war case”. Lots of documents, postcards and money from all the countries he visited. Including postage stamps with Hilters face on.
