Substituting players with greater regularity will also keep your first eleven a bit fresher. Bringing on a fresh player at half-time to replace one who is tiring and not playing that well can have a big impact on a match’s outcome. ![]() Substitute players with lower match ratings and condition values. The best time to make a substitution is when the match pauses for half-time, which is a good time to check your players’ performance ratings and conditions. So, make the most of your backup players by making at least one substitution in most of your matches. With seven subs on the bench, you have 18 players for the match instead of just 11. Your substitutes bench is an extension of your first 11. Technique is a generally important attribute for short passing teams. That’s just a minimum requirement, however, and it’s even better to have some forwards and defenders in your team with high passing and technique attribute ratings. Ideally, all your midfield players should have passing, creativity, movement, and technique ratings at 15 or greater. You’ll need to invest in players with high attribute ratings for passing, creativity, movement, and technique for your team to win trophies with short passing. Your team’s short passing game can be more effective when you select the Through Balls attack option for the final third. You can win lots of trophies in Football Manager by playing the short passing game to maintain greater possession. I always prefer my Football Manager teams to play a short passing game comparable to Spain’s Tiki-taka, which emphasizes monopolizing ball possession. The real-life Spain team dominated international football from 2008-2012 playing the Tiki-taka short passing game. As 4-1-3-2 isn’t one of the default formations, you’ll need to select a 4-3-3 and pull one of the forward positions back into a defensive midfield slot as shown in the shot directly below.Ī season played with the 4-1-3-2 formation. I also recommend the 4-1-3-2 formation, which is a defensive variant of the 4-3-3, as one of my teams won 10 trophies (including five league titles) across eight seasons with it! The 4-1-3-2 is a modified 4-3-3 with one of the forwards swapped for a defensive midfield player. The passing focus of your team also needs to be central for the 4-1-3-2 or 4-3-3, which you can configure with the attack tactic options. I prefer to configure one midfielder to play as an advanced playmaker who will drop into holes left between the opposing team’s defense and midfield. Make sure you select the left and right-side defenders in your team to play with wing-backs roles, as opposed to more defensive full-backs.Īdd attacking midfield players to your midfield. When playing 4-3-3, your team must include two top-class wing-backs (attacking full-backs) with high stamina, pace, tackling, and crossing attribute ratings. The 4-3-3 is a widely played formation in the European game, and your teams can also win loads of trophies with that formation in Football Manager 2020. Realistically, your team probably can’t win all three or four trophies in a season and you can enhance your chances in one competition by rotating the squad for it. Or if you really want to win a cup, such as Champions League, rest some of your players in league matches that are scheduled shortly before the cup’s games. If winning the league is more of a priority, consider rotating your squad for cup games to keep your first choice players fresher for league matches. You can keep your players fresher for games by rotating your squad with greater regularity during seasons.

Football players will seldom play as well as they can when they’re fatigued. When players’ conditions drop to about the 80 percent mark, they’ll be pretty tired. It’s important to keep an eye on your players’ conditions during Football Manager seasons. Rest players when their condition drops to 80 percent Selling surplus players will increase your transfer budget in both the short and longer-term. If you inherit a squad with more than 25 players, trim down your squad’s size during your first few seasons by selling some of the poorer ones or those who don’t fit within the team’s formation. Then you’ll have 11 first team players and 11 more backup players for all positions. The ideal squad size is about 22 players. ![]()
