Post-Match Tips

After each and match your team takes part in, you will be given a set of statistical analysis for that given game. Team stats can be useful, but they'll only reveal the most basic of information that you already probably knew while watching the match. Individual stats, however, reveal things that the human eye might not have been able to pick up on during the moment. By inspecting these deconstructed pieces of data, a manager might be given the most efficient solution without even knowing.

By following the five tips below after any given match where this analysis is concerned, a manager will able to readjust for the team's next outing:

1) Take note of a player's lower ratings. His stats will help you identify the source of his problem, and then you can decide whether to adjust the Tactics for his position, drop the player from your team, use him at another position, or train him in the particular area he is struggling in.

2) Keep check on your crossers. Make sure your best crossers are having the chance to do just that, and your less-than-great crossers aren't crossing too often.

3) Find out if your passing directness is helping or hurting your play. Going too short too often can result in a ton of passes but not that many chances, whereas going too direct could lead to lower accuracy and several costly mistakes.

4) Discover how efficient and involved your defensive Players were. This can be done by inspecting and comparing interceptions made, tackles attempted and won, headers attempted and won, and so on.

5) Monitor if your Full-Backs are sending as many crosses as you'd like. If they aren't, you won't be getting the ball down field as often, which will result in less shot attempts and goals overall.
