Just signed this player for my Harrogate team, currently in Skrill Premier.
Somehow managed to sign him with an offer of ?150 per week, which is good, but also there were nine Championship clubs interested in him too who he turned down for me. Brilliant.
Excited to see how well he will develop...
Ahh right ok, I thought the rule was, the less technical your players are the more they would struggle to play a fluid system.
Rigid is still the way for me at the moment though, got one of the weakest sides in the league I think. Gonna be a struggle for a few years to attract a better standard...
Where you using Fluid straight from the start? I've tried, but I feel like the players aren't good enough to work a fluid system at a low level. If anything I'd maybe start introducing a fluid tactic into the team maybe when I get into League 2.
Obviously the players you might be able to...
Ahh I see that's with FM13, hopefully won't be too difficult to get pretty much the same style of play with no-sliders.
I see you've got Bossman, I have considered him in the past but his attributes seem poor, obviously you've managed to get him to perform though.
Think I might try them as Central Defenders then, one upside is I can set them to pass shorter which you can't with Limited Defenders. Yeah I think my GK finished second in the league last season for clean sheets, majority of goals conceded are really soft, or complete flukes, which is annoying...
Ive just signed Lee Hendrie, he may be 37 but apart from his physical stats he is a good enough signing for Skrill Premier. Think he'll be the passer of my team.
Do you have your wingers set with specific instructions, i.e Cross Aim?
I think I'm gonna play a flat 4-4-2 for away matches, but change to a 4-2-2-2 for home.
At the moment both my Wide Fielders are AML and AMR naturally so I am having to retrain them to play as ML/MR, so for the time being it would be easier to have them further up the pitch.
Do you use your...
You've pretty much said exactly how I set my team up as well, well how I did first season anyway. Managing Harrogate in Skrill North.
Tried to play football a bit more in second season but it's not working so more than likely going to revert to the tired and testing method that you've said...
Just a quick question/debate for all the lower league/non league players out there.
1) Which do you prefer tactics wise, Rigid or Fluid?
2) Would you class Work Rate and Team Work as important attributes, given it's hard to find good technical players at that level?
Look forward to hearing...
A few I signed for my Harrogate Team who helped me win promotion.
Ryan Doble - Striker - Ex-Southampton, free agent at start of game, managed to bag 15 goals in 19 appearances for me, playing as an AF alongside a TM. Got another 4 in 4 in second season so far. Average stats but knows where the...
I would really appreciate some help in creating a tactic for my team.
Playing as Harrogate Town, I was appointed manager mid-way through first season when they where just outside playoffs and managed to win the league.
For that season I was playing a basic 4-4-2, Balanced and either Counter or...
Got some screenshots of my Target Man and the wingers I have, to be honest they are all poor, Morris is my own signing so he'll be first choice over Taylor.
What player instructions should I use for each of them?
Basically I've just taken over as manager of Skrill North side Harrogate.
In time I want my mould my team to play like Swansea, Arsenal etc
However at the moment obviously my players are nowhere near capable of playing such a technical style of football.
For now I'm going to set them up to...
In my save, the FA Trophy and the FA Cup are mixed up.
So all the non-league teams are playing in the FA Cup, whereas all the Premiership teams etc are in the FA Trophy.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
And is there a fix for it?
