In-Game Instructions
Post as many of these as you like. First, simply post what time or score you'd like me to make the change at, i.e.

xxth Minute

OR

Leading By Three Or More
Leading By Two
Leading By One
Drawing
Behind By One
Behind By Two
Behind By Three Or More

Followed by the old setting you want to change in Green and the new one in Red
e.g.
ST Fernando Torres
SUB Hernan Crespo

LB Phillip Lahm
LWB Phillip Lahm

Mentality 4
Menatlity -6

I'll do these where possible, but the normal rules apply and I can't bring someone back on if you're suddenly behind by 1 after leading by 2.

 

Anybody who has any questions let me know, and I'm also open to advice about how to structure it better, particularly from those who have FM experience.

I'll also be putting up a simplified template for people who don't want to worry about tactics as much and just enjoy the sim.

 

You'd probably leave him where he is. It's generally used for things like wing-backs moving forward up the flanks, or a centre back dropping to sweep against a fast team.

 

Yeah, just do this.

SUB ST Fernando Torres
SUB DM Michael Essien

 

What's your difference between RW and RAM here?

EDIT: Other than that it's a pretty good example.

 

That's what I thought, I've just usually seen it referred to as FWR. I didn't think he'd have his forward running backwards in attack.

EDIT: And in a 4-1-2-2-1 it'd set up with an RAM and LAM. If he wanted forwards it'd be a 4-1-2-3

 

Guessing I'll probably have to post up a position list, given how everyone has different names for them. Think there's something like 6 lines in FM with 5 spots along each.

 

Depends entirely on how you've been coached. In footballing terms, wing just means up and down the sidelines. I've heard RW referring to right backs, mids and forwards.

Those are all the spots you can have someone playing in or attacking from. Use those terms and there will be no mix-ups.
