What is wrong with this game
Started a new game,(first time since 2019 fm) took over Parma (favourates to win)

I played 4 friendlies against weaker teams in seria B, had more shots and more posession in each game...i lost each game.

I then get Udinese in coppa italia, PLAY BETTER and loose 3-2.

Start my first league game, DOMINATE with shots 9-1, and loose 1-0.

Are you kidding me?? been using the same tactics since i took over with a good group of players,no injuries and no issues. What is going on?


SUMMARY: Not a single win in 6 games where i was the dominant team.

Hahaha i know

i won my next game, derby v reggiana. won 2-0 and had 20 shots. dug deep and altered various player roles and made changes that seemed better and yes it worked.

i am going to put the initial results down to bad luck and a lack of team cohesion/familiarity and with that in mind,expect better results going forward.

What seems key here is that not only did i win previous game...we looked a million times better..more responsive,great tackling,alot of pressure etc.

Idk man.. I play the serie back from CM days on.. And most of my losses (from FM17 to FM24 at least) came aftet been FM'ed.

All these years, i am in average FM'ed 5-10 times a season, while i did FM (won the match despite been much worse side).. Maybe 10 times.. in.... lets say 50+ seasons.

Then again, i won too many mathes, i always have the stats on my side (shots, possession), despite, probably, i should not.. :)

Nvm, Cheers :)

Team dynamics and familiarity matter a lot so you can add lots of tactics/match tactics training in preseason to hurry it up.
Maybe also look at defensive structure? I think people getting fm'd are getting hit on the counter because they only have 3-4 people back. Personally I like to play more structured and to have about 5 looking to go forward and 5 staying a bit back, they can intercept or recover balls and are also available for a back-pass.

im now 10 games into the season and i have lost the last 5. conceding 3 goals avg a game. conceading a goal within first five minutes each game.

EVERY SINGLE GAME...i have more possession...more shots...more shots on target.

Training is going well,people improving, my team individually are way better than our opponents each game. Really, i remember fm 19 OCCASIONALLY having a game like this but now its EVERY MATCH. IT MAKES NO SENSE IN ANY WAY SHAPRE OR FORM TO BE THE BETTER TEAM IN 15 GAMES AND LOOSE MORE THAN 10! Tactics familiarity is good iv been using the same formation and tactics for the most part,and having a 2nd and 3rd tactic for occasions where loosing and need to get more attacking play or winning and need to see out clock. im literally about to get fired.

This is NOT realistic.

Read again...

If my tactic was bad, how the F would i be having more possession and more shots and more shots on target? Outside of those stats,what stats are needed to win matches? passing? sure,thats satisfactory too. your not helpful. And this game is not representing a realistic aspect of the on field aspect of the sport.

ASSMAN every game after report says same thing: "we should be dissapointed with the result,we were the better team". Yeah...clearly.

FM has always struggled to be a realistic game despite it claiming to be.

This year's version of the most recent ones is by far the worst, where you are really forced to create tactics based on what works in the engine rather than footballing principles. (Not to say it can't work, but it's harder to get working on a consistent basis. - you need to know what you're doing) It's probably why 90% of people just dload META tactics / ME breakers.

Too high possession also generally increases your chances of losing on FM, as you're more likely to create lower xG chances compared to creating opportunities from fast transitions. So when you're looking at the overall xG stat, it's actually something I ignore because it gives you false information for the purposes of making accurate conclusions.

We are playing the match engine, not football.

Were on pitch is the possession, were are they taking shots from. guess from your description that your xg is over 3 every game? How good are you forwards? are you being to open to counter attack?

More possession gives more chance of mistakes and counters. The match engine is to eager to give stupid balls away at back even with best players in the world.

the only stats that matter is the scoreline, i dont care about possession or shots on target, all that matters is the win, maybe i should have worded my reply better, but if your not winning, your players do not suit the tactic or formation your playing
