Zakaria is a great shout for a DM. As others have said, you'll need to limit his instructions to make sure he doesn't try do too much with the ball. Just win it and get it away to someone with better passing. I have a lot of success with Xhaka at CM as a DLP (defend) though... What tactic...

What tactic are you using? In my 2nd season with Arsenal, I won the League, Champions League and FA Cup. My strikers are a rotation of Lacazette and Dolberg (STCL Complete), and Nketiah and Aubameyang (STC Poacher). I've just started my 4th season and it's still powered by Lacazette, Dolberg...

full backs/wing backs/DM/wingers - close down, hard tackling show on to opposition foot - anyone who the assistant manager recommended.

Well that was an unnecessarily long assed day. See attached for tweaked, and mirrored. Let's see your results!

Training - main focus was on team cohesion, with the assistant manager taking control of weekly training assignments for the team depending on who we were facing. I kept the same backroom team, adding a couple of young coaches and physios to look after the U23/U18 teams. I'll upload the...

An update on this... I came 4th in the first season, badly falling off in the latter half of the season. I won the Community Shield, FA Cup, and got to the 1/4 final of the Europa League. My defence was quite leaky so that's where I invested for the 2nd season. I changed the F9 to a CF for...

Looks good! That's a strange looking shape up top but i love seeing a weird looking system work, and I regularly use asymmetrical formations. How is Ramsey doing in the Mezzala role? He (and potentially Monreal) look like the only weak links in the first team. If you're looking at bolstering...

I'd play Aguero as a trequartista and Pato as a complete forward/advanced forward.

Pretty much what I wanted to say. As a Rangers fan I'm chuffed to have a player like Boyd in the team. He's got a poor record in Europe and against Celtic, but he'll be there to score the winner when grinding out a 1-0 win against Motherwell on a wet evening when everyone wants to be somewhere...

Harewood - Target Man (Support). Have the team playing the ball to his feet. He was awesome alongside Beckford doing this in my Leeds game. Not too sure about Nathan Tyson, but I'd give him a run as a poacher, and a run as an advanced forward and see which works best. On my Borussia...

Phillip Lahm Domenico Criscito Fabio Gareth Bale

Hope he fully recovers, it would be a shame if the sport suffered another Gianluigi Lentini and saw a great player cut down for good due to a car accident.

I have Carlos Tevez and Artem Milevskyi as strikers in my 5th season at Borussia Monchengladbach, Milevskyi was poor upfront on his own as a Target Man (Attack) until I bought Tevez to go alongside him as a Trequartista (Attack). Milevskyi is now scoring almost a goal a game, and even though...

Sandro from Internacional is a favourite of mine. Pulls all the strings as DM in the midfield of my Leeds game (5th season, Champions League regulars), Makelele-style. Thanks, I'll check them out.
