I've just signed him in my 2nd season with AFC Wimbledon... He scored twice on his debut, 4 times in his second game, and now hasn't scored for 6 games! So I have no idea how to play him unfortunately...

Okay so I have made my 3 tactics, one standard, one attack and one defence... Unfortunately, none of them seem to have made a difference in the few games I have played... I know it may take a while for my team to adapt to the new tactics and maybe I need to tweak a few things but they do not...

Thank you for your advice! I will look at making a few different tactics now and use them how you have suggested... I love FM but I've really struggled to enjoy it this year. Its not losing that annoys me because I'd be annoyed if I won every game as well, as this is unrealistic... Its more the...

Another thing I'd like to add to this is in-game advise from the assistant manager. For example, he will say something like 'Bob Smith is an accomplished crosser of the ball, we need to close him down before he creates a goal scoring opportunity.' The first thing I do when I see a message like...

Hi all, You may have read my thread regarding my AFC Wimbledon team... I now have a squad which is better than most League 1 teams (attribute wise), yet I am really struggling against weak teams in League 2. I have tried tactic after tactic, formation after formation, tweaked things which I...

Thanks, I will give it a try... Anything is worth a try right now! Having said that, I've just changed things round a tiny bit and beat Rotherham 4-1. What pleased me more than the result is that we played well and Martyn Waghorn scored all 4 goals. They only scored through a penalty as well...

Just lost 2-1 to Cheltenham at home, and they had 10 men from the 31st min.. I really do give up now.

Sorry for not replying sooner, I've been busy with a few things... I've had some success but I'm still losing games I should be winning easily. Just now I was beating Burton 2-0 in the 69th min after dominating the game, and I somehow managed to lose 3-2. Pathetic, I was the favorites to win...

Thanks for your reply and well done with Boreham Wood! You've clearly grasped the tactics side of things quicker/better than I have... 1) I do use the "Not good enough" response sometimes, I basically say whatever my assistant advises me too as nothing I say seems to have an effect anyway! If...

I'm facing something similar :( read this http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/lower-league-managers/108685-need-urgent-help-afc-wimbledon.html

No idea mate. I had the same problem in my 1st season with AFC Wimbledon... A clause in my contract said that I must 'try and play attacking football'. I played a 4-3-3 with wing backs, meantality set to attacking and I finished 8th (decent for AFC Wimbledon, way above the media prediction), and...

Not sure what your money situation is like but you could make an offer for Don Cowan of Stevenage... I signed him for 20k although I am AFC Wimbledon in League 2... Worth a shot though if you have the money, he's a great striker for the lower leagues! Also try making a loan offer for Martyn...

Sorry pal, I'm still stuck in League 2 with AFC Wimbledon in my 2nd season... The only tip I can give is to keep checking for free agents, as I have snapped up a few great signings on a free transfer including Emile Mpenza & Vincent Pericard (not bad for AFC Wimbledon in League 2). Also check...

Hi people, I'm confused/frustrated. Please stay with me as its a long post but hopefully someone can help me... In my first season with AFC Wimbledon, I finished 8th (2 points off 7th which is play-off's in League 2). I had a healthy goal difference of +14 which made it even worse that I...
