How to improve the form of certain players?

[Mike Jones]

Hi guys,

this is a question to the topeleven experts in this forum:

As most of you might have realized, at a certain point of time some players are in really bad shape. That means they get bad marks from game to game, even though they are one of the best players in the team, stronger than their opponent and are constantly playing in the first eleven.

This changes from season to season, but if they once have a bad form, there's no way to stop it. At least, that is what I have realized.

At the moment I have three players getting marks from 4-5, every single game. Even in friendly matches against weaker or stronger teams.

I tried the following: put them on the bank for about 5 games (no effect).
let them play in friendly matches against weaker opponents a lot (no effect).
change their positions (no effect).

Moral and fitness is of course perfect.


Is there anybody out there who knows how to get them back in shape?

Thanks everbody!

Change the formation with which you are playing you will see different results...Some type of players play well with certain formations and other with some other formation...

[Mike Jones]

Thanks for the answer.

this is a possibility, but then I would loose the advantage of my team being used to a certain formation.

[Siddharth Shanker Singh]

Yeah bro that's the way it goes...

[Siddharth Shanker Singh]

If you are in a mood to continue your formation as it is then no matter what players you buy for that position the chances are very high that they will continue to perform badly...

[Mike Jones]

Can't confirm that, players I bought for that positions as reserve are performing quite well.

Have you compared the attributes (skills) of the players that perform well vs. ones that don't?

[Mike Jones]

Yes I did. I just put together an image that shows 2 of those players performing bad, compared to their respective substitute (you have to zoom in a bit ).

I can'T see any relation in age or attributes.

By the way, both are performing weak for at least one complete season.

[Cat Harrison]

Only the first panel show attributes. I mean Defense, Attack, Physical/Mental. There most certainly is a relation to their performance, though it isn't all of it.

Attributes and statistics from my team last season

[Mike Jones]

ah sorry, now I see it. Sorry i know what you mean, I just made a mistake.

Here is the information needed:


from left to right: attack, defense, physical, statistics

If you compare Tanaskovic with Figo and Winder with Matthäus, at least I can't see a correlation coming from age or attibutes.
