    Too much, too young, too fast...?

    Problem solved...broken leg, out for 6 months+ :( Hit twice as hard by the fact that he's also my starting forward for England (I'm managing club and country) and will miss both the most important part of the EPL season and the entire 2018 WC. This is all disregarding the massive hit on his...

    Too much, too young, too fast...?

    I'm considering just dropping the striker completely and playing 4-6-0. All my goals are coming from midfield anyway so it's just a waste of a player keeping him on. It's like playing every game with 10 men.

    Too much, too young, too fast...?

    Although 50% isn't good, that's not the worrying statistic. 23 goals from 163 shots is 14% goal/shot ratio. Which, when I compared it to the other strikers in Europe, is considerably below average. The thing that I like about this kid is how many goal-scoring opportunities he finds himself in...

    Too much, too young, too fast...?

    At the minute, "runs with ball down right" - Not sure why, always had it. And "Knocks ball past opponent" - He's relatively quick so this isn't a bad one. (I also have him learning to place shots as someone else mentioned) As for time-wasting, you might be on to something. Naturally, I set it...

    Too much, too young, too fast...?

    Problem with that is, I'm a bit short of attacking options. I had Cavani as my main man and this fella would be his long term replacement, but a leg break disrupted those plans. My only alternative now is Walcott and he's had more than his share of injuries in the past so he's not exactly a...

    Too much, too young, too fast...?

    Having a bit of a problem with an infuriatingly wasteful young striker of mine. He's a regen, here's his profile: So as you can see, for a 21-year old, he has great attributes. Even his composure is high. The problem is, he is incredibly wasteful. Although 22 goals in 27 games seems like a...

    Raikan007's Tactical discussion & help thread

    Hey Raikan, I'm using your "Swoop there it is" tactic with Nottingham Forest and I must say it is quality. Took them over in November (2015) and I've gone from 23rd up to 4th in 4 months. The only thing is, I concedeall my goals from set pieces. Long free-kicks mainly. I was wondering whether...

    Managing a Non-European International Team?

    I applied for the vacant spot as Argentina manager and they offered me the job. But it is now 2014 in game and the World Cup is only over a few months. If I take this job, does that mean the team will have no [competitive] fixtures until the World Cup Qualifiers which are probably just under 3...

    Football Manager 2012 New Features You Would Like to See

    Ah son, you said exactly what I was thinking. Used to LOVE the dugout view in LMA. And the first time I played this game and there was the "touchline" camera angle, I thought it was going to be the same but alas, we wait.

    Assistant Manager-less!

    This is kinda of a long shot and it probably won't work but I dunno...ask your board for a new contract and ask for the lowest amount of money possible. That may save money, after all, it's still wages and tbh what are you gonna do with the money? Buy a car, I don't think so. Other than that I...
