There's always debate around the value of performance metrics when evaluating players in #FM23 . The way I see it is that attributes are what a player ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ do, whereas statistics are what a player ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ do. I like to use both. I need quality players but ones who also deliver.

@lfc_down_bad Sure! The Half Back drops deep, as far as CB, splitting the two CBs behind him left and right, but acting as a Busquets-style pivot in transition. The SV is like a B2B midfielder but starting from deeper on the pitch. Late runs into the box but always available to defend too.

I'm scouting for a striker ahead of season 3. I set up a Search with some basic requirements: 1000+ minutes played, 10+ goals scored plus a minimum threshold for some key attributes. I know you need binoculars to see the data points here, but there's a few standouts. #FM23

This advice is best used in short spells in games where you need to react to the game state. Focus play down that side and perhaps add Run at Defence and up the Tempo a little for 15 minutes after the card. It could be what unlocks a high value scoring opportunity.

I've written a few guides for the @FootballManager website this year. First off, I wrote a piece on the new Team Performance stats introduced in #FM23 . Links to further articles in the comments. โœ๏ธโšฝ๏ธ

#FM22 tip. If you are a fan of customising your own set pieces, remember that something as simple as your tiny full-backs being in the defensive wall by default at free kicks can be the reason you are leaking set piece goals. Take time over selecting positions and roles.

Hover over the bars to see the reason. In this case, Gabbiadini is very familiar with everything, apart from specifically being deployed as an Advanced Forward and the intensity of the team press. All worthwhile considerations while building a tactic and selecting players.

I love retraining players into new positions and roles. I have a Home-Grown quota issue with registration at Sampdoria, so I can't bring in another Left-Back at this time. So our gifted central midfielder Kristoffer Askilden is retraining as our backup LB ๐Ÿ˜. #FM23

I haven't been around on here since last November, but I've still been playing @FootballManager . In January 2031 with Manchester United in a save with 280 hours clocked so far. Here are some of the most exciting newgens currently at the club...more in comments. #FM24

THREAD: I've been thinking about how you could quantify a player's intangible defending and attacking contribution to a team in #FM23 . Sure, you can compare interceptions, key passes and the likes, but that doesn't tell the story of a player's indirect influence on a game.

I'm working on a new W-W tactical system and really enjoying it. Short distribution to a patient HB โœ… Excellent carrying from a BPD โœ… CM-A going beyond the F9 to finish โœ… I love it ๐Ÿ˜. #FM23
