UNOFFICIAL: Successful Manager - GUIDE (PGCătălin)

Do you usually put blue arrows on your defenders or goalkeeper, and red on your striker, to good effect? There are some that say if you put a red arrow on a DL, he will play as a DML when you attack, so lately I haven't been putting blue arrows on my defenders and goalkeeper, and no red arrows on my strikers, and I'm getting pretty good results.

IMO, I think arrows should be used for less productiv and weak players(low quality) but now depend.

You didn't really answer my question, though. I just want to know whether it's okay to put red arrows on your strikers, and blue on your defenders and goalkeepers. My understanding of arrows used to be that players moved in the direction of the arrows when attacking or defending, so there's really nowhere for the goalkeeper and defenders to go on defence, nor the striker on attack.

On 4-4-2, you can use blue on defenders and red on midfielders or strikers.

On 4-5-1 v style, I played with blue on def and red on rest + DMC

I've been experimenting a little with arrows.

First defenders.
Previously only ever put down arrows on the centre DC of three, to act as a sweeper against two strikers, or up arrows on DL/DR when playing the V formation.

For the last few days I've put them on all three, with different mentality settings and counter options.
When used with defensive mentality no counter they definitely do not venture to far up field, which is what you want.
In attacking mentality with off side on they moved forward but seem to drop to deep when out of possession, my MF and DM's seem to be doing far more tackling which IMO accounted for 4 bookings in two games.
In normal with no off side and no counter they were all over the place scoring from open play.

So while I'm still not 100% that arrows do a great deal I will persist wit the trials, the same goes for AM's and ST I'm not convinced they do a great deal.

My reasoning is that you cannot rely on the game engine to be giving a true picture of where players are and what they are actually doing.
There's is only one constant on Tll, inconsistency! there lies the problem, utter confusion.

Hello,
It's my formation :
DL - DC - DC - DR
MC - MC - MC
AMC
ST-ST


it's illégal formation ?
If i put ML-MC-MR ? it's better ?



(sorry for my english)

[Accyrover]

It's not illegal, no problems at all with that formation as it has DL/DR which are flank players.
