Thank you very much for your tactics, I tweaked them slightly and so far they've been working quite spectacularly. However, and I'm sorry for dragging a new topic into the thread, but I'm at a loss regarding reducing foul counts in this year's game. My team seems to commit an inordinate no of...

Hey all, After looking at ideas posted on this site and playing around with tactics for a mock season, I hit on this for possession-based attack-minded tactic: The only player instruction I've set is "Distribute to Defenders" for the goalkeeper. With these players in mind, could anyone...

Thanks for the responses, somehow the problem fixed itself.

On my Chelsea save, I sacked Michael Emenalo and instead brought in Leonardo as a Director of Football. I have him set to hire/fire all staff except the chief scout, and I have 10+ positions unfulfilled as per the boardroom. Anyone else had this happen to them, or any ideas why? Thanks in advance.

I like to play a narrow, possession-based 4-2-3-1 with Chelsea. I've been doing pretty well so far (halfway into the first season) but one thing really throws me off: my team commits way too many fouls. Of course, to implement my high-pressing strategy, I have "Hassle Opponents" turned on in the...

My apologies if this has already been covered. Recently, I've been encountering an issue where the default view on the Squad screen, for any team, refuses to stick. I had it set to a custom view of my own creation, and it worked like a charm, but now whenever I leave the screen and go back to...

I'm going to, next season, when I'm bringing in Balotelli (lol at him, Hart and Nasri requesting transfers 5 matches into the season when City were languishing in 16th place).

Thankee. I'm not too happy about the goals conceded either, but I'm unsure how to do that unless the answer is pulling the defensive line lower down the pitch?

Hey all, I'm managing Chelsea in the first season, about midway through December. I have, as you may expect, a good team, and have lost only game so far this season. I also have 75 goals in 26 games with 23 conceded. However, I find myself scoring low on the CCC front. I figure that with more...

I play as Chelsea, am close to finishing my first season. One of my first buys was Lewandowski. Now I know he's young and it's his first season in England and all, and it's not like his current record of 22 goals in 38 games (including 10 in 19 in the league) is all that bad, plus he's had a few...

Idk if this is down to my tactics/player instructions or just a bug in the game, but more often than not, if a player gets into the box from an even slightly wide position, he either waits far, far, far too long to put the ball into the box or decides to try and dribble all the way to the goal...

Well, Torres has been turning up the heat, 15 games with an incredible 12 goals and 10 assists! So I'm holding on to him for sure. Also, I'm working on tactics involving DM's, so I suppose Mikel will stay put, too. Isco and Eriksen are AMC's, and I'd prefer natural CM's with attacking...

I'm using a 4-2-3-1 with Mata as AMC, Hazard and Douglas Costa on the wings. I brought in Lewandowski because I wasn't sure I could trust Torres or Sturridge, intended to sell the Spaniard at the end of the first season... Mid-November now, and here's the scoop: I generally use my striker as...

Managing Chelsea, now in November of the first season. I play a 4-2-3-1 with wingers and 2 CM's. I'm looking for good young players (preferably English) with potential, but who can join the first team right away, in the following positions: DL: Considering selling Cole before he gets older...

The deep backline is a relic of my team from FM12; I was struggling against any team with averagely pacey strikers. I'm finding that a higher line works okay with this game, though, seeing as Shawcross and M. Kelly are okay for pace. Also, gonna give wingers a try, and I tweaked my tactic...
