    overhaul on a budget

    Hi all, Just finished my first season and managed to get ipswich promoted to the prem, which would normally be great but unfortunately the majority of my team are pants and I have a feeling with my current crop of players ill be challenging Derbys record for least points. The board have given...

    Tactic change for away games?

    Hi all, Just wondered what peoples preferences are towards tactics with away games? Do you have a home tactic and an away tactic? If so are the formations different or just the mentality? The reason I ask is because in fm09 (didn't get fm10) I played the same formation for away games but I...

    best role for leigh griffiths?

    Just bought leigh griffiths for ipswich and wondered what role he is best suited to? I play with an amr, amc and an aml with one striker at home and for away games I play with 2 amc's and one striker. Can he operate as a lone striker? Or will I need to move some players around?

    Tackle-shy full backs

    Anyone got any tips on how to make my full backs actually make a tackle? They just seem to jockey the opponents wide players, normally resulting in the wide player finding enough space to cross the ball and me conceding, again. There also seems to be a lot of space left by my full backs which...
