Posts that are stats, statistics, data or analysis related for FM20 and beyond. This could include xG, spreadsheets, DNA, attributes and all sorts.
Let’s get the important stuff out the way first for anyone who can’t be bothered to read too much. I have tweeted about my issues with using usage percentages to set priorities and omissions. One of the things I also mentioned was about weight. And I have two issues here. One a little petty and one just practical. Petty – […]

The Reducer. Letting them know you are there. Putting your mark on the game and the other player’s shins. We’re not strangers to that here at FMTahiti. But it’s something we’re going to revisit and check out with a few stats. That’s right, violence and numbers. What a combination. It does get stats heavy towards the end but there’s also […]

There’s a lot of exceptional guidance on how to get the most out of your attacking set pieces. Whether they are corners, free kicks or the impressively powerful throw in. Like a […]

Shithousing isn’t a new phenomenon. In Football or in Football Manager. Guido Merry for example has a great guide of shithousing in FM, and in FM23 appears to be having great success with it.

One I played many months ago in real life but have only recently got round to writing about. Season updates from now are going to be a bit […]

Not a fan of PPDA? Even though the base stats are in FM21 are you finding it just too much fuss to extract the numbers at the end of every match to fit into the wondrous spreadsheet? I hear you. I’ve been using PPDA for about three seasons now in my Dafuge save and I’m honestly tiring of entering the […]

With survival in the bag last year we were able to take all the crazy money, both general prize and TV, and potentially spend big again. Survival was all the board would be asking for again, but with the big bucks in place I felt like we could do more. Another overhaul of the squad would be needed but we […]

I mentioned in a previous post that one of the things I’m interested in is getting PPDA into the game. I’m not the only one and recently it has been mentioned by Football Manager Therapy in their podcast, and by FMStag in their recent thread on stats in Football Manager. I’m sure there are plenty of other people who want […]
