Featuring a game where we got 0 shots, completed zero crosses, and I WHIFFED on a tackle off a corner clearance to allow the goal, and also some of the worst passing decisions ever made.
And that was all in the first one!

. Fun run though.
With Hans and Balls in the central midfield it seemed like the opponents didn't even create that many chances. It was pretty fun playing that midfield role sans a couple really errant passes I had in the last game 
The best was when I shielded the ball and sayo asked how I did it and Kings just laughed.

Errant passes are a little more forgivable when you're playing in the middle and have 20+ attempts. There was one game we combined for nearly 60 (attempts). Not sure we've ever played with CMs acting like real CMs. I think we both did a good jerb of realizing when the other had to support the attack and staying back. Kind of rotating on the axis and instead of playing across the width of the field, playing down it (switching from a north/south combination of CMs to an east/west).
Every single goal in that highlight has two things.
Playing the ball to the middle of the field, and good spacing to allow everyone the opportunity to move without running into a teammate or pulling a defender in We're not sprinting to the corner or dive bombing into the box as a CM. Its kind of beautiful because each goal had ball and player movement that was completely different. Counterattack flick on to a over the top ball... A square ball from the wing played through 3 players for a goal, another goal where one ST stretched the backline and allowed space at the top of the box. Awesome to watch.

Box-to-box midfielder might be my favorite setup now with those boosts you'll showed me. I was I think 6' but still had good speed and acceleration with a mid 70s tackle rating. Wingers are in the 50s. Physical rating was in the 70s too and I could definitely tell the difference. I used that set up in both formations when I was a DM and an LM (which was basically still a deep midfielder in that formation). One game we had 28 tackles, which I know is a joke, but was still kind of awesome and I think one of the higher totals I've seen from us.
The wings did a good job of tracking back when I was upfield and just playing defense in general. I'm also way less likely to JOIN attack when the ball is actually played back into the middle now and then when we are open for a shot or to lay it off to the striker. Also appreciate sayo sending me corners!

You could probably squeeze a shot in, but honestly I'd just run away from the nearest defender. Like up toward the sideline (or in, if they're really bad at positioning).

Here's some comments from the first hour...if it looks overly negative I've only highlighted bad things.

Code:
4:18 - this pass should go up, throughball to Yellow or computer. It is passed back to the fullback and he's stranded there.
5:36 - this needs to be a throughball for the CPU running free. Check the radar, their left back is caught way up field. He's in clean with both Blue and Teal supporting if so. Instead it is launched to the moon.
8:35 - I don't even know what is happening here. This isn't a great pass but the fullback just gives up. The followup cross is abysmal.
13:38 - this should basically go anywhere but teal.
13:55 - this is just late, which causes the winger to be offside when the pass is relayed. Earlier passes let things open up better.
16:40 - "go go go" with this pass. I think it's queueing up to be a through pass to yellow, but it's just too late. There's no need to hold this at all, Yellow has a lot of space to get to the ball even if it's not a perfect pass
16:55 - something has to happen here. Anything but just getting run down.
22:40 - Sayo, you have a clear path between the CPU and urself, so if you call for this, we can immediately work a 1-2 with Teal sprinting down the middle. (We score later anyway, but that's coincidental)
36:26 - This is just slow. There's no reason to keep dribbling with the striker sprinting and acres of space in the middle. Yellow fills in for Red who drops back, and the spacing is great, this is probably a shot on goal if the pass from the wing comes quicker.
38:15 - the rare instance when a back pass is a bad move
38:38 - why???
42:09 - this should be a ground normal pass. Blue has a lot of room behind him to receive it and work with it. Cross is just a much lower percentage
43:40 - this should go to green on the outside run. Just completely missed.
43:52 - don't bend this run in, it pulls another defender, even slightly. A straight path to goal and Blue is probably in on the keeper
46:24 - shoot the J! SHOOT IT!
47:50 - a one touch pass to yellow in the middle probably puts Blue through clean on goal
50:08 - yellowyellowyellow
52:45 - this works out to a shot in the end, but a one touch layoff for yellow would have been a much better chance
54:18 - ditto 52:45
57:25 - we choose this for the moment we're NOT crossing it…? Early cross probably hits Red in stride for a golazo
58:20 - yellow wide open in the middle of the field. The R1+X driven pass could get it there easily for a counter attack chance
58:30 - red is probably a better choice here, got too cute trying to force it in to blue

Don't shoot there. You made a couple nice ground passes from that spot yesterday. There is also normally someone at the top of the box too. It's an easy place to get stuck. I normally cross it, which isn't the best play a lot of the time, but it can force a corner from a deflection.

YEET
We had to unlock the pass backwards perk.
