    Buy back clause not working?

    Took over at Real Madrid and trying to exercise the buy back clause for Reguilon [active during july 21 and july 22] but it keeps getting rejected or negotiated by Tottenham. I'm in the right month, I've tried putting a non-negotiable £40m bid in but it gets rejected. Otherwise, Tottenham...

    Suggestion for future FM - Sports Psychologist/Youth Development.

    -1/-10 potential is not fixed in the database but it becomes fixed as soon as you begin a game. I'm talking about dynamic potential that changes in game. When the potential is fixed the chances are that the player will fulfil his potential regardless because of the aforementioned mental stats...

    Suggestion for future FM - Sports Psychologist/Youth Development.

    A change that I would like to see in the FM games is the ability to hire a sports psychologist. Just read an interesting article on f365 about one and would love to see it used in FM as a means of coaching your players mental/hidden attributes. Perhaps to make them big game players, handle...

    FIFA players with FM stats.

    I started creating some ukrainian players and decided to use the fm stats to fill in their attributes giving 5 points on Fifa for every point in their fm stats. For example, if dribbling is 18 on fm, they get 90 dribbling on fifa and so on. There's obviously one or two points grace either side...

    Is creation centre down?

    Anybody else having problem accessing the Creation Centre web app online? I really want to create my fm13 Newcastle save team on Fifa but the Creation Centre page isn't showing anything. Already tried to find out whats up on the EA/Fifa site but of course thats about as much use as **** on a...

    Beating Man United

    I got sick of being humped by Man U on my Newcastle save [particularly at Old Trafford], so just to spite them i used this formation: http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/football-manager-2013-tactics-training/115341-6-2-2-0-counter-hypothesis-work-progress.html I tweaked it to a 4-3-3-0 but its a...

    Tycoon Takeovers

    I've had a Romanian Tycoon promise to take over on my Newcastle save. Promises to clear debt, upgrade the facilities and give me £200 million to spend. Then Mike Ashley cancels the bid because he gets impatient with how long its taking. This has happened twice in a year now. Its making me...

    Youth Intake Positions

    Your youth intake is randomly generated on the regen date. If your really unhappy with your intake, you could always save just before and reload until you get positions you're happy with. Of course that might be considered cheating...

    Need some Newcastle advice

    I would suggest you set up a def/short passing [41212] and try to get a few clean sheets under your belt. In my Newcastle save Coloccini always performed best with a deep line. Also, have you tried the 6-2-2-0 philosophy? Its my favourite counter tactic on this site and is fairly adaptable...

    LFCMarshall's Summer Update Suggestion Thread

    I would create a new club with the same name and stadium, make old Rangers extinct. Transfer staff and players to Newco Rangers [now in the 3rd division]. Maybe with lower reputation and considerably lower finances, New Rangers will be forced to sell players. Some players might be more eager...

    LFCMarshall's Summer Update Suggestion Thread

    Looks like Rangers are going to be extinct. Although nothings final, it looks like they're going to have to relaunch as a newco Rangers [same name, stadium] but in the third division.

    4-2-4 True Counter Attack!

    This is a great wee tactic. I'm using it on my Celtic save and i've had some great results in the Champions League [including a 5-1 drubbing of Real Madrid at Celtic Park and 4-0 away at Shakhtar]. Perfect way to grab some goals against the bigger teams.

    Building a squad

    It has to be about getting the right players for your tactic. But i also like to get the right mental attributes. Regardless of technical or physical ability, i couldn't sign a player with less than 12 for Determination. Less gifted players with high Determination are way more useful than one...

    Whats the difference?

    Short passing with the instruction "get the ball forward" or Direct passing with instruction "retain possession"?
