what needs completely redoing.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Following my first season success with Honved (we were tipped for relegation and ended up winning the league) it is a perfect time to review certain things.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I guess the key areas I focus on when I manage are the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tactical approach<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recruitment (in and out)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Man Management<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>tactical approach<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has moved over from FM15 seamlessly. \u00a0The team were set up with #TheArgentineStrikerless and it won us the title by 6 points. \u00a0It was far from perfect, shipping 26 goals in 33 games, but I repeat &#8211; we were expected to get relegated!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Training,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> well once again I have set it up as close to FM15 as possible. \u00a0Team training is fitness and I have set it to average. \u00a0I started it as low, but players complained about the lack of work, so I cranked it up. \u00a0Each player is then on an individual positional programme depending on where they fit into the squad and, if the backroom team think it is needed, they then do some attribute training. \u00a0I\u2019ve not seen massive attribute improvements, nor players retraining into new positions quickly, so training is something I will be keeping an eye on the community for. \u00a0I might have it set up badly, or it might be an issue with the quality of coaches I have, my reputation being low, facilities, anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Man Management <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am doing exactly what I did on FM15, and again it is getting results. \u00a0I only give a pre-match team talk if the offering of \u201ccontinue where you left off\u201d is available to me. \u00a0At half time I tell them I am not happy, even if we are 3-0 off and I always sub the worst player below 6.4. \u00a0At the end of the game, they get praised or ripped into. \u00a0I keep it fairly simple. \u00a0Each month the good training performances get praise, the bad ones get a word in their ear. \u00a0If a player wants to leave, I tell him I will accept a reasonable bid for him. \u00a0I always sell someone who wants to go, zero point keeping him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That leads me on to my favourite bit, <\/span><b>recruitment in and out <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where I can unleash the Moneyball\/Soccernomics theory that led to my FM15 \u201cSearching the Stats \u00a9 \u201c methodology. \u00a0Below is the transfer history from the title winning season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, zero spend and \u00a3775,000 brought in and that is no mean feat in Hungary when you are selling pretty average players! \u00a0More importantly, with a season\u2019s worth of data in the bank I am able to start drawing up my benchmarks for player recruitment based on winning statistics. \u00a0Over the next couple of days I am going to walk you through my recruitment system for different positions, and today it is going to be central defenders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me remind you of the rules of <\/span><b>StS \u00a9 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; the first rule is I do not care about skill attributes. \u00a0I am looking at performance data. \u00a0To put simply, in the context of central defenders, I don\u2019t care if they have 4 for tackling or 20 for tackling &#8211; I am looking at how they perform. \u00a0Equally, I do not care if they are 5ft 6 if they have data that shows me they win the majority of their aerial battles. \u00a0This helps me find value in the market, as a 6ft 4 centre back with 20 for heading and tackling will probably cost a lot more than a 5ft 10 centre back with 8 for both, even if they have the same average rating and performance stats. \u00a0Do you follow? \u00a0Excellent, so let us begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me to know what good performance data looks like, I need to set a benchmark from my title winning team. \u00a0Meet Kristi Marku, our 20 year old Albanian central defender. \u00a0He played the most minutes at the back for us this season, so I will be using him as the benchmark. \u00a0Again, I completely disregarding his skill attributes right now, I am going to only judge his performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what am I interested in? \u00a0For centre backs, I love <\/span><b>interceptions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u00a0This shows good reading of the game, and if you intercept you are less likely to miss a tackle, get booked, go to ground, end up out of position. \u00a0As you can see, Kristi intercepted a total of 369 times in his 24 starts, an average of just over 15. \u00a0Next on the list is <\/span><b>aerial battles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I want my centre backs to dominate in the air. \u00a0Kristi averaged just over 8 per 90 minutes, that\u2019ll do me. \u00a0I am not saying I will completely ignore <\/span><b>tackles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; he completed 68% of tackles, which I felt was a little low so I would expect a new recruit to beat that. \u00a0I am very interested in <\/span><b>mistakes leading to goals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Kristi made 5, the highest in the team. \u00a0A new recruit would ideally have made zero! \u00a0Good <\/span><b>passing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is very much a nice to have, and with 74% completion at 28 per game, I would like to see that be a little better to. \u00a0So already I have built a profile of what I think a centre back playing in #TheArgentineStrikerless formation should look like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Interceptions: \u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher than 15 average per start<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Aerial Battles:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Higher than 8 per 90 minutes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tackle Completion:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Higher than 68%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Goal mistakes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Less than 5<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Passes per 90: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Higher than 28<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pass completion:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Higher than 74%<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So with that in mind, is there anyone out there hitting those targets?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I

completed per 90, but he gives it away a bit with a completion of 67%. \u00a0He also plays for the side that came 2nd. \u00a0Now, and this is important, the scouts rate him as a good signing &#8211; only 3.5*. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, and this is new to FM16, I will check his Prozone data &#8211; and considering he played against us then I will see how he

a \u00a315k offer accepted. \u00a0The guy is 32, so will add a little experience to the squad and will be my only central defensive approach, I would imagine. \u00a0The final hoop he will have to jump
