Look at your transfer history for the season and you'll see the non-EU players you bought. Since you're in the summer, just wait for the transfer window to open and the cap will be reset. Edit: Also, selling players won't affect the cap. The cap is purely on players bought, not net player movement.

Like WJ said, there are multiple ways to skin a cat, and your answer is dependent on what is happening to you. In supply chain we have this obnoxiously simple tool called the 5 whys, keep asking why to a problem/answer to help identify the root cause. Balls over the top break my line, why are...

I'll disagree slightly. While yes your defensive width is set by your mentality, my reasoning is more to do with transitions. If I've lost the ball with my players being narrow, it gives the opponent the easy decision to play out wide. Then as the transition phase becomes the defensive phase...

PPMs help, but all I did was give instructions to prefer passing over dribbling. So, DLF on support, dribble less. Also instructed to Move Into Channels and Roam, but that was more so to create space for the dribblers to move into, though it does allow him to move around and be a passing option...

This sorta sounds like an information overload. And much of your post read like that you're still trying to settle on an identity, which is fine. We just have to decide on whether we want a specific style of play or have numerous styles. I've been looking for videos, WorkTheSpace seems decent...

Never tried looking at video before, since I'm a fan of reading. But before I send you down the rabbit hole or even try to find said videos, it'd help to have an idea what you want to learn. What have you read? What do you want to do? Generalist tactics or specific styles?

If you want to send them down the flanks, you'd want to play (Much) Narrower, set up specific man marking of opposing central players to deny a central passing option, show wide players to their outside foot (showing central players to their outside can help as well, but it may be more effective...

With defence, a lot of it depends on how/where you want to defend. Do you want to be strong in the middle forcing crosses that your back line can stop or do you want to force them inside and clog the middle? Note, you can switch between the two depending on how the opponents are lined up. You...

Could be that without any custom databases, the game doesn't propogate many players for the reserve teams as non-MLS teams in America and Canada don't have a fixture schedule. So the virtual players are akin to walk ons that don't really have a footballing future.

How large a database did you start off with?

As a traditional shot stopper he should be good enough, especially when it comes to set pieces. He'd have some issues playing as Sweeper Keeper behind a high line as his pace, acceleration, first touch, composure and rushing out attributes aren't the best. He's sorta like a poor man's Navas...

Sites you can read for it: https://strikerless.com/2016/02/27/how-to-properly-defend-corners-in-fm16/ https://mrkeysirensie.wordpress.com/2015/12/20/fm16-defensive-corner-kicks-routines/ I typically have three players forward, one at the edge of the box, one to close down the corner, zonally...

Simply means the opponent has more players in and around the central midfield area than you do. Depending on how you attack or defend, this can be bad or inconsequential. If you find the opponents have more time on the ball in central midfield, you can always have a striker to man mark the...

Defensively, you have too many players forward. Four attacking players in your striker and attacking mids, one central mid going forward and your two fullbacks as well. Leaving your two CBs and the BWM, who is programmed to give chase whenever he can. This makes you easily caught out on the...

Depends on the roles of the players around him. His role would have to balance those around him.
