Lets explain this in simpler terms and avoid using sliders. For too long players have been obsessed with explaining this in terms of sliders and this in turn has caused more confusion for newer players. Each affects their position on the pitch and how they all work together as a unit. Roles cover a host of playing positions, and these in turn are either automatic, defend, support or attack. One on support could move out on the defense cog if an opportunity presents itself. What they actually do is is determined by their role, a Deep Lying Playmaker for example on a defend role will not move up the pitch instead choosing to anchor himself to the defense and seek out players ahead of him with mixed passes. This implies that they are willing to do more on the pitch, like try a more risky pass. For example, if you have an attacking mentality for your tactic, you team generally takes an attacking stance, every player on the pitch is more risk hungry than a defensive system. Mentality essentially allocates associated risks for certain roles. To address this we will now take a closer look at rolesĭuties - Automatic, Defend, Support & AttackĮvery default tactic has these duties which adjust with the mentality you have set, how well these duties adhere to their mentality is affected by the Shape settings which tell a side how they should be working as a team, players in a team all fulfil different roles within their prescribed duties. People generally have a good idea of how they want their systems to play, but they almost always select the wrong role or they don't take into account how the AI is attacking their space on the pitch. In almost every cry for tactical help on the forums, the solution generally lies in either a misallocation of roles or a general lack of spatial awareness of a tactic or both even. The important thing to bear in mind here is the (auto) role, thats the one highlighted here. When you go to the drop down to select a tactic for the first time you are given a set of templates, this is the 4231 template, and it suggests some basic roles. You can set it up effectively like mine which shows the stats I typically track, and I look for salient information such as the fluidity of a tactic and the role of a player. The more important things to note here are: When you go to the Overview screen you basically get this screen It offers up an overview of your tactical system and advice from coaches, personally I don't use the coaches advice though it can be useful at time. The tactical creator is split up in 6 broad areas: Overview, Player, Set pieces, Opposition Instructions and Analysis I frequently hop over to FMC to test a tactic out with Barcelona and Wolves, which are my barometers for tactical stability. In full-fat FM you can always use the excuse that your players need time to be fluid before they master the system, that doesn't hold for FMC.

So if you aren't very good with tactics, my advice, go play FMC first and learn to see whether your tactics are solid. In FMC as long as a tactic is a solid and good one, a team doesn't need 3 weeks of match preparation to become fluid in it. The difference between both versions of the game lie with the fact that FMC doesn't penalise you for switching tactics. FM full allows you to set your team up with 3 quick tactics, and with FMC you can only use 1. Its essentially every aspect of the tactical creation process. Over at the tactical screen you will see this.

Probably the easiest one to start with would be either the 442 or the 4132. Take a cursory look at your club and choose a simple tactical system to begin with. This forces you to look at your squad early to address any shortcomings. Of course you'll have your ass man suggest Match Focus along the way for each match, it's up to you if you want to listen to him or not.When you are about to start any game with Football Manager, one of the first things that's recommended even before you hire/fire your assistant manager is set up a system. During Season (usually after the first 2-3 games): Training Focus to 'Balanced' and 'Average' Match Focus on Tactics and between 30-40% depending on your squad's current ability with the set tactics.Before season begins (up to the 2nd-3rd match): Training Focus to 'Tactics' and 'High' Match Focus on Match Tactics and 40%.Pre-season: Training Focus set to 'Fitness' and 'High' or 'Very High' depending on your squad's overall work rate and match fitness Match Focus set to Tactics or Teamwork at 30%.

Some players will take to them like ducks to water, others will get mad quickly.Ī training schedule I've used for the last couple of years, and have tweaked from its original form to work moderately well, is something like this: One size doesn't fit all with training schedules, I've found.
