Well, in my case it's not easier because I have 3 RBs and 2 LBs. One of the LBs is getting too old and the extra RB will end up not playing that much because 2 RBs are enough. Would be an easy solution to switch one RB to LB and eventually sell the old LB without having to buy new players or...

Has anyone tried converting a player to the other side of the pitch? Will he ever be as good or just good enough on the other side? In my case, the RB has a very good right foot but weak left. If I convert him to a LB, will this be a major problem? PS: don't ask "why would you want to do...

His role is 'complete forward'.

I'm with you on that and of course I didn't say he'd do the job for me. But it's obvious to me that there could be advantages in following his pre-match advice. I mean, if he says that the other team struggles against 4-5-1, deep line, fast tempo and narrow formations, why would i keep my...

Hi everyone! Here are some quick questions 1. Sometimes my players kick the ball out when there's an obvious pass to a team mate and when he's not really under pressure. What's wrong and how do I fix it? 2. My free-kick taker always shoots and never passes. How do I change this? 3. If I'm...

Hi all! Before a match, my assistant recommends playing with: - a certain formation - a certain defensive line - a certain width - a certain tempo 1. Should I trust him and change this before a match every time? 2. Because I keep changing formation following his advice, in Match Preparation my...

Great ideas! I'll definitely try those! I thought about reducing the 'run with ball' but the truth is I still want the winger to run but only if he has free space ahead (and sometimes dribble). I can imagine that by tweaking the crossing options he won't dribble as much but will cross earlier...

that's exactlly what I'm trying to do.. how do you do that? i'll try support and through balls to start with. thx for your feedback!

Hello everyone! I noticed that whatever tactic I use, my wingers always try to run and dribble even when they have an obvious back/side pass. They seem very selfish when compared to other players. Even my strikers pass back when they're out of options. It's hard to keep possession with the...

From the answers given so far: - i should sell my striker and buy a younger one, but that doesn't make much sense to me because he is already young and i might not have enough money to buy another one if i don't sell someone first. - or i should be good to him and improve our relationship so...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the game and have trained a team for one season. I now want to sell some players because they are old or causing too many problems and also to replace them for new better ones. Problems: - Transfer listed players don't get ANY offers. The asking price is close to...
