Score More Goals!
After helping 3x FMM players with the same situation, I thought it’s better to write up this advice into a guide …

“My Team Scores Less Now - Help!”

“My team became galacticos level - so I'm not losing, but lots of negative draws”

“I won Serie A with this tactic, but the next season I barely got 2nd. We don’t score enough anymore, most games are a 0-0 draw.”
Intro
After a successful 1st season - some FMM players find they are performing worse + scoring less the next season! 🔻
With the same tactic, mostly the same players - they don’t understand why.
… so how can YOU solve this?
Solutions
To score more goals, you could get:
better players
higher mentality (e.g. from ‘normal’ to ‘attacking’)
different roles (e.g. from CMs to APs/RPs)
different instructions (e.g. from ‘mixed’ to ‘short’ passing)
… or a different FORMATIONS (e.g. 451 vs 4231)
This guide focuses on different FORMATIONS - to evolve your tactic, to score more goals.
Example Base Formation
You see a lot of players use a 41221 like this:
It’s solid, balanced, good. You may win a title with it 🏆
BUT as your team’s form / reputations improves, opposition AI managers will use more defensive mentalities - meaning it becomes harder for you to score 🔻
In that 41221 - you have only 5 players attacking, mostly from deeper positions,
while the opposition usually have 6-7 players defending (e.g. in a 41221, 4231 DM, 343 DM formations),
so you rarely outnumber them when attacking.
So what are your options?!
Option A - Advanced IFs
Many FMM players use Inside Forwards - however the consensus is that IFs perform better in more advanced positions in this years FMM 🔥 I.e. in the FR/L positions, in line with the central ST.
Option B - Midfield Three
Instead of having a 41221, you can easily push your central midfield into more advanced positions (like a 4231) - with an AMC + 2 MCs 🔥 .
Option C - Midfield Three
Thanks @Reshetnikov who suggested adding this 👍
Instead of moving your midfield three forward, you could just give all of them different roles which encourage forward runs. The RP (DMC) and two B2Bs (MCs) combination is probably the best example of this and is one of the ‘secrets’ behind the Black Hawk tactic’s success.
Option D - Wing Backs
Is your ST is aerially dominant in your league (e.g. 17+ aerial / strength in the English Premier League) … ?
If yes, then having WBs will encourage more crosses to him 🔥 (don’t do this if your ST has low aerial).
You could even move your WBs to a more advanced position (DM R/L)?!
Combinations of Options
Alternatively you can use any combination of these options for your formation:
Assuming you’re one of the league’s better teams - here are four formation options to help you evolve your tactic - to score more goals 🔥
You don’t have to do all three of these tweaks - pick the most suitable for you 👍
