Evening all, When assessing whether you should/shouldn't sign a player based on their key attributes for the role you are looking to fill, for example, Poacher - Attack - Off the ball, Pace, Composure, Finishing etc. or for Centre Back - Defend - Strength, Heading, Positioning, Concentration...

Just a thought, I am trying a training & tactic combination, which is working brilliantly so far:- Northampton Town - Played 18, Won 15, Drew 3. Scored 39 - Conceded 5. MK Dons - Played 18, Won 16, Drew 1, Lost 1. Scored 44 - Conceded 7. Anyways, if my players are only training on an...

As title suggests just a query whether press conferences effect the morale of players? I know there is no visual aid as to morale increasing or decreasing but is there a direct link?

Hi guys, I'm starting a new save in the BSP, obviously physical and mental attributes will be key, rather than technical. Just wondering what everyone's minimum rating for each attribute is. For this save I've done it at 12 for stamina and 10 for natural fitness. What does everyone else...

I have just realised I'm not getting any pre match or post match press conferences - I'm 100% sure I used to! I've checked and my ***. Man isn't set to handle them auto in my preferences? Anyone else have this problem?!

What would you guys say is the most simple and standard formation, player roles and duties? I'm thinking a 4-4-2. GK - Goalkeeper - Defend LB&RB - Full Back - Support/Auto CB's - Central Defender - Defend RM/LM - Wide Midfielder - Attack CM's - Central Mid - Support CF - Adv Forward -...

I have made a tactic that looks at giving 100% effort in defence to stop the opponent from scoring, whilst still have the chance to pose a threat going forwards whilst at home. Then away it's the same set up but with a little less attacking threat. I'm trying it with Newcastle and I haven't...

I was just wondering how many people actually do this. For example: 'Team struggle against high/low tempo' - obviously adjust tempo accordingly. 'Team struggle against narrow/wide teams' - obviously adjust width. But then you get ones such as: 'We are better/worse at controlling the ball...

Ok, exaggeration in the title. I cannot stress how much I admire Manchester United, or more so Alex Ferguson for the way he sets up his team against others, especially 'big' teams. Even against weaker teams, although it is less noticeable, the amount of men back behind the ball is immense and...

Hi guys, i'm looking to create as the title says a 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation that is solid at the back, and generally creates a good number of chances going forward. I choose this formation because there are not many about, if any. I'd like one person to help me create it because more ideas means a...

This is my first FM story, please give any advice you can on how to make it better, because I am purely putting this together in view of what I have read in other stories. Thanks. My story picks up on the 1st of November 2009, after starting my career as an unemployed ex professional...

Hi guys, my opinion on this game has always been any team can score, but not defend. I have been developing a tactic for a few weeks now, testing and trying positions and player roles to perfecting defending corners. I called my tactic 'Mean Defence' hopefully, for obvious reasons. I think I...

ok, so i know there are a few threads going round with instructions on how to set up a network game, and i've read them but still no joy, so i'm going to tell you what i have done whilst trying to set it up, and maybe you can tell me of any mistakes we have made. hosting: - opened FM 2010...

OK, so some of you may have seen a thread i created a few weeks ago saying about my game that froze after i got promoted with Northampton, for those who didn't, basically i got promoted, and everytime i reached 30th June 2010 (1st july is technically the 2nd season) my game froze and i had to...
