I hemorrhage goals on anything below attacking so far in 22. Balanced is worse at attacking, defending, and possession in my experience. Overload is often just better than attacking also. It's dumb. 

I haven't gone under Attacking in the last 12 months. I tried playing around with a really attacking formation but playing defensive (cough @Scratch's crazy 1 at the back tactic cough) but it just didn't work for me.

I've found that having any less that 4 at the back and FBs rather than WBs, is just asking to get ripped apart by the opposition IFs.

Loving the broken corners 👏

I'm playing 1 at the back and Balanced at the moment and not conceding much. Worked well in Scotland and China, about to try it out in the EPL - 3 games in and I've conceded 5. I think I will leak goals a bit this season, but expect that to improve as the squad levels up.

Mind you I'm not using the TT Blaster - I have 3 in the CM row (CM BWM CM) so it's more solid than that.

Hmm, might try it out in my testing for my next save (when I eventually finish my long way to the top one)

Spotted this for the first time. Lad I was signing is injured for a month. Fails medical but I could appeal to the board to sign him anyway. Nice.

Does anyone have a tip on a bargain striker??

It depends on what league you're in and what budget you've got

Angelo is good, he is naturally an Inside forward but can retrain as a striker very quickly.

[Gerrit87]

Im in the EPL, around 10-15 milion

For £10-15m you're going to struggle to find an someone who'll be amazing in the EPL. You're best off either looking for a youngster with potential (someone like Gabriel Barbosa or Peque) or someone in their early 30's (Luuk de Jong). A few other possibilities in your price range:

Sam Gallagher (Blackburn)

Ramon Mieriez (Osijek)

Umar Sadiq (Almeria)

Talisca (Al-Nassr)

Augustin Alvarez - Uruguay, I snagged him for 6.5€ 

He can only play as a striker tho- no liquidity with him

[Nikolaosrokos]

Should I go for it? I'm really tempted but at the same time I have a lot of womderkids in those positions.. 

I can make money out of him tho, but that's too much hassle

Wow, unreal stats for a 16 y.o kid, you might sell him 2-3 years later for 100m+ if he develops well

[Resurgam]

4-1 down after 22 minutes in my final push for a European spot. This game is random chaos sometimes

[HudsonOfSmeg]

Possibly the craziest match I’ve had in this game. All the attacking players had 8+ ratings (both teams) and most of the defenders had 4s and 5s 😅

Same. Constantly getting games like this every 3-5 games. Feel like the game throws up matches where it really doesn’t want you to win 😡

[1shotz]

 just before caraboa cup final all my players moral dropped with the “scared we will lose the unbeaten streak” and then flopped the final and lost, does anyone know a counter to this? It always seems to happen. Won the league cl and fa cup in end tho

It’s a tactic that I used heavily in FM21 and use to win me everything in that. I haven’t tested it much in fm22 and mind u I have good players so can’t guarantee it will work.

Has anything been the same since the version update to 1.3.10, the loading process in January 2022 was very heavy?
