    Dummies guide to opposition instructions

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 03:15 AM PST

    Hey, it's time for a quick team talk.

    If you're anything like me, you really hate setting up opposition instructions. You already spent all this time to set up your tactic and surely it's going to be fine? Probably. Maybe. But why risk it? Setting up the opposition instructions takes only 1-2 minutes and I'm here to make it as easy as it can be.

    Step 1: Figure out whether you play pressing or shape football.

    If you have high pressing in your strategy, you are playing pressing football. If you tend to regroup and stay more disciplined, you are playing shape football. This is important, because you don't want to add too many opposition instructions that go against your teams tactic. For example, you don't want to press too many enemy players if you want your team to stay as a strong defensive unit. Otherwise you might as well play pressing football to begin with.

    Step 2: Find the enemies creative powerhouse.

    This is usually a Deep Lying Playmaker, Advanced Playmaker, Advanced Midfielder but it can also be a a winger or a forward, Wide Playmakers and Deep Lying Forwards for example. Deciding how to handle them, you have basically three choices:

    • Mark them. Great if you have a DM with good man marking and concentration. Using a CB to do this can be risky because it tears the backline apart. Great if the enemy playmaker has poor off the ball movement or if he's slow and can't disengage from the person marking them.
    • Press them. Great if you have good endeavour (workrate, bravery, aggression) or maybe simply poor marking on a DM. Works well if the enemy playmaker has poor composure or low bravery (which will make him avoid these engagements because he's afraid of the hyper-aggro BWM trying to beat his ass).
    • Ignore them and mark their team mates instead. Or even better, mark all team mates except for that bad one so the ball ends up with them. This is great if the enemy playmaker has poor long shots. Maybe they have really high dribbling and acceleration, so you don't want to press unless you want your defense outmaneuvered.

    Step 3: Decide what to do about the enemy wingers.

    It's important to understand that most wingers are very physical. As a general rule of thumb, wingers will be the fastest players with the highest dribbling. So generally, you don't want to press them because they will zoom past your defenders if given the chance. The easiest instruction on dealing with wingers is to show them on their weaker foot. This will force inverted wingers and inside forwards to the outside of the pitch, which is really not where they want to be. It will also force regular wingers on the inside of the pitch, where their physical stats are much less dangerous.

    Look out for very mental wingers such as Raumdeuters (very rare). These are generally rather slow and not technical, but they will out think your turtlebrained centerback and somehow end up with the ball next to the goal anyways. Dealing with these depends on the rest of their stats. If they have low composure, press them. If they have low speed and dribbling, man mark the hell out of them and press the everliving hell out of the person most likely to pass them the ball.

    Step 4: Decide what to do about the enemy strikers.

    This depends on the type of player the enemy is and the likely enemy strategy.

    • Fast strikers usually indicate a playstyle with a lot of through balls and vertical passes into space. Never man mark a striker that is likely to slip away at mach 5 behind your backline. Your best bet here is to work with an offside trap if your defense can pull it off. Otherwise you might want to keep your line of defense low if you fear your CBs will be outpaced.
    • Tall strikers usually indicate wing play. Find the tallest CB you have and have them man mark the enemy striker. Usually taller players are not as fast either.
    • Lastly, strikers with really high mental stats. These are incredibly hard to deal with, but again, they are usually not the most physically gifted, so marking can work.

    Step 5: Exploit the weakest enemy players.

    • Press players with low composure, bravery and perhaps poor passing.
    • Don't mark players who you believe to be the least creative, so the enemy team plays the ball to them instead of the more creative players.
    • Identify wingers with poor crossing and them force them to cross the ball by blocking all other options as good as possible.

    That's it. Don't ever let your ass man do your opposition instructions anymore, he tends to break more than anything. Good luck out there!

    “Do it”. Well, sounds like he’s off to the glue factory...

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 07:36 AM PST

    What have I just witnessed...?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 03:21 PM PST

    It's not just me... but the recent update to FM 21 has completely ruined the ME, right?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 03:18 PM PST

    I only recently had the new update a couple of days ago. I'd been leaving it cos I was playing through a very tight season in my Journey man save, and really didn't want the title race to be decided by an update changing how everything works.

    Ended up finally updating it, and good god. It's just.... I don't even know. This isn't me spouting off in a salty rage (disclaimer), I'm just utterly confused.

    - Fullbacks don't work AT all. Ratings are terrible, unless they directly put in an assist or some key passes, they'll struggle to get above a 6.2 rating.

    - Pace is still ridiculous, coupled with dribbling. Most goals I see myself conceding come directly from pacy players. It's getting slightly daft now. Even facilitates me attempting to have one CD on Cover just to try and prevent it.

    - Goalkeepers... mostly not an issue, but I keep finding mine (across 3 keepers and 2 teams now) just finding themselves in no man's land... a ball will be lofted over the top towards them, pacy opposition attacker goes for it... and the Goalkeeper comes out a tiny bit, then just stops... and gets caught out.

    - Strikers... may just be my new team badly performing, but I've finding myself struggling so badly to score. Chances are mostly off-target, or just not coming. But again, might be my systems and players. But most games end up 1-0, or 2-1 or something. My xG in comparison to how many goals I tend to score is usually way off. It'll be a predicted 2.67 or something, but I'm scraping by with a 1-0 win. Very low scoring when I play, but the Ai still pumps out other results as like 6-4 extravaganzas.

    - Tactics are just too one dimensional. Might sound odd, but I'll try to explain. This year different tactics just seem to completely nerf or cancel others out, and dominate too much. In my lower leagues if I tried my 4-4-2 against a 5-2-2-1 or something, I would literally get nothing out of it. Even though logic could tell me having two wide men against their one could allow me to dominate, put crosses in (not that they work much anymore, even with 17 Crossing/Technique/Passing/Whatever) and what have you. Nope. Just stopped dead, no joy, nothing works. What do you have to do to beat that 5-2-2-1? Simple! A mad 2-1-4-1-2! Slap your only two wide wingers as Defensive Wingers, and hey presto! You dominate!

    ... and done. Please somebody else tell me it's not just me seeing these things?

    Mansfield? Completing it mate

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 02:50 PM PST

    Am I really bad or do BWMs never get good ratings?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 04:23 PM PST

    I have a pretty successful Aberdeen side (1 cup, 1 final appearance, QF of Europa, 2nd in league, just qualified for CL Groups), but my BWM (Ross McCrorie) rarely cracks 6.7 and is frequently below. He's supposedly a natural BWM, so am I screwing up or what?

    I know this has sometimes happened to other positions, I think it was Advanced Playmakers in FM20, so has anyone else seen this? Ta x
