    Help against 3-4-3

    I'm using a nice study 4-1-2-2-1 / 4-3-3 / 4-5-1, whichever term you prefer. Basically Keeper, standard back four, DLP(d), CM & BBM, AP(a) on wide flank, IF(a) on the other & a DLF(s) up top.

    Where is your manager profile saved?

    I'm talking about the profile that you choose when you're starting a game. You can choose from a selection of former profiles that you've played as or a new one. I want to backup my profiles but don't know where they're saved. Any ideas?

    Fitness in the lower leagues... are there any workarounds?

    I want to take an English team from the lower reaches (level 8-9) to as high as they can realistically go. I've tried various clubs but I always have the same problem. My players can't manage a game a week. Even with a weeks rest they go into the game with their condition between 70-83%. It...
