#678372 Fairly newish and clueless on where to start

Andy, i have been playing the game since CM01 - 02. Honestly one thing you will learn about this game is that everyone thinks they are an expert and everyone disagrees with each other.
Id recommend for a starter watching lollujo on youtube. The reason i suggect him is because unlike other youtubers, he doesnt bother with setting up training, he doesnt go into the data hub and analyse things and changes his tactic depending on the other teams tactic etc.
He just keeps it simple, picks a basic tactic and then just buys good solid players to fit the tactic, usually he just goes off star rating without looking into their attributes too much, The funny thing is he wins all the online comps between youtubers who try and be overly technical. He represents how to be good at the game without getting bogged down in all the other detals, he doesnt assign scouts, doesnt do training, buys players based on if the media say they are a wonderkid and the assistant manager says they have 5 star potential.
When making a tactic, there are some things the match engine favours.
I dont think you need to worry about which roles work well with each other etc. For midfield, a good rule is you want a hardworking terrier to win possesion and close down, and one flair player who is a playmaker.
If you look at the exploit tactics - There does seem to be some positions that FM22 likes in tactics.
Defensive wingers - Although i dont like using these because no good players fit this role.
Inverted wing backs - I dont like using these either as again it seems like a hack and not what normal teams would play
CM - Attack - Everyone plays a midfielder but want to assign a mezzala, a dlp, a bbm etc but in the exploit tactics cm on attack feature heavily
RPM - at the DM position seems also to do very well in this engine.
Most people would pick a team - for starting id recommend picking a strong team in an easy division as its easy to win and you will get a taste for the game.
Try - Rangers or Celtic in scotland
Salzburg in Austria
Deportivo in spanish 3rd league i started a save with them and got promoted in first year without losing a game playing a basic tactic.
Use like the preset gegenpress to start and tweek it a bit at a time until you find how things work,
#678367 FM22 Game engine - Bad results watching games vs going on holiday and auto generating results

I'm becoming very annoyed with FM22. I have never had this issue with other FM games ive played. There seems to be a way better chance of doing well if you pick your formation and buy your players and holiday the season.
After lots of frustration with the game engine, watching replays and becoming very annoyed i decided to test it. I have a Leverkusen save, Adeyami, sesko, wirtz are my front 3. Adeyami is 4.5 stars, same Wirtz and sesko is just developing in year 3. But they are good players.
When i watch replays, Adeyami will miss 4 or 5 1 v 1. The team will hit the bar about 4 times a game.
I get between 2 and 3 xg and dont score. The team concedes with 0.10 xg, and several games conceding 3 goals when opp has 0.30 xg
I kept two saves from the same point, one i holidayed for the season in year 2. One i played the same formation as i did on holiday.
The one where i holidayed through i finished 2nd.
The one where i played was just a disaster.
Full of missed 1 v 1 and conceding goals with enemy on .13 xg.
The holiday save of the same team. Adeyami finished top goal scored with 40 goals.
Im keeping an eye on it this year too. i play a game and in another save i auto generate the result.
The last game away to Dortmund - i lost 4 - 2 in my watched game
When i reloaded and holidayed and same teams played i won 3 - 0.
I also am finding issues with the set pieces. I have not scored from a set piece in forever. I cant remember any goals scored from a corner. Ive downloaded the set pieces from this site and use them, still no goals from corners.
I am finding this all very frustrating, i just want to be able to play and enjoy the game, but its got to the point where i started save scumming which i never did before in FM just because it feels so unfair.
Im not talking just 1 games with 3 xg and no goals losing to a worse team 3 - 0 when they have 0.30 xg. its very common as is hitting the woodwork 4 times a game and all the missed 1 v 1.
I would even say my tactic is bad and my players are bad, but i know when i holiday and dont watch the matches its way different. Anyone else finding fm22 the same?
