Niko, I still believe in the power of the correct training

I believe in quality and quantity.
As we are in the last week of the season, playing semi-finals and quarter-finals, if you don't have wingers with a 110%, don't expect much.

Is it possible to play 4-1-4-1 with same instructions?

[iptables]

Hm, Im not sure, but lets see what the experienced players will suggest.
In my opinion 4-1-4-1 should be def with short + counters on posession, but that's just me

[tomu741]

But this is force counter attack is not counter attack. Even without ticking force counter attack they do counters. I read tactician(or how his name was) old thread about this option and he said that force counter attack and counter attack is different thing. But i really dont know how it works in this game and usually with ticking force counter attack my defense plays worse maybe because midfield freely let opponent attackers to come in my half of the pitch.

Let me ask how much of completed passes % did you get with short passing?

[iptables]

70+ here.
Depends, you know that.
If both teams play short, don't expect to have high percentage, it's logical
Also, depends on your formation and mentality.
Your opponent's tactic and mentality too.
Last, but not least - support ( yep it DOES matter in most of the cases ).
At least it's what I'm observing with my teams and opponents

[tomu741]

if 70+ you play with long passes i guess. However when i started to play with short passes recently my completed passes were 80-83%. I think too low. God, i think i would not get tokens from asso this month

[iptables]

Short passes. That's why I said 'Depends'
Vs different strategy, the numbers will be different

[tomu741]

You say that wingers must be at least 110% but for example in my league first is only 2% better than me and his players arent so great compared to mine. The best is with 108% but his is only 4th. Anyway im keep loosing and the results are even poorer than before . I even got better results with mixed passing and completed passes were better than with short passes. When i talked with one great manager he said that 4-5-1v is bad with short passes and should be played with mixed or long. But you say differently. I dont know.
I pin my wingers stats.
I know that if wingers play with 7 rating they perform poorly(and it happens now for at least 6 matches) but i dont know how to make them play better. When i inspect my league opponent players they arent very great compared to my players (i could say that my players white skills are even better than theirs). But anyway i loose to them. But just this is because i dont know how to play this game or how to deploy counter tactics .
