What are some of the good FM blogs? I'm looking for detailed blogs that could teach me more about tactics, etc whether that be through them playing a Story or actual tactical posts. Thanks in advance

Was just wonder how my fellow players have found this wonderkid's performances? TBH I've been very disappointed. Not in him exactly, but the way the game MAKES him play. He could just a creative, powerful force yet the game ME constantly gets him to shot. This also makes his rating go down...

Has anybody experienced anything like me?! Agents are asking for crazy apperance fees! For example Shaqiri agent's just asked for a 20k apperance fee, whereas in past FMs he probably would have asked for 10k tops. Anybody have any strategeries to get to lower down these ridiculous fees?

Does anybody know what the differences are between requesting your board for a feeder club to "secure first options on players from a successful youth system" and "chance to recruit foreign youngsters". Don't these two opionions ultimately give you the same thing? First opinion on players?

Has anybody noticed that in orders for strikers to be effective with crosses coming in, they need to be super-brave dude? I have tried getting Welbeck (15 strength, super fast, 14 jumping, 16 finish and composure) and Hernandez (16 anticipation, super fast, 18 finish and 16 composure) to score...

Personally I love the 4-2-2-2. Was my main tactic since FM '11. I think it's a great attacking tactic that uses width and wingers well as well as keeping for a fairly decent defence. However, I've struggled using it in FM'13. At worse when playing formations such as the 4-2-3-1 you get...

So right now I've got a tasty regen who is natural at AML, and is left footed only. However since I play with inside forwards I'm planning on retraining him to AMR- but he's red right now in that position. My question is will retraining him use up a lot of CA points? Also, is playing IF on...

So Rooney wants to leave my club and I'm looking for somebody to replace him in case I can't persuade him to stay. Any good prospects? I'm looking for a creative striker/ deep lying forward.

I've been trying to search for an answer but haven't really found a definitive answer. My first question is what exactly is technique- is it basically natural ability? And secondly, just how important is it? Is technique for example for important than the dribbling or the long shot stat? I'm...

In case anybody is looking for a cheap, FANTASTIC deep lying striker that doesn't miss his chances and creates plenty as well, look no further than Raul. He also has the fantastic stats for a tutor- got him currently tutoring Niang. Pair this guy with a fast pacey striker and they'll be causing...

This one's been bothering me for a while, and I can't find anything on it... What determines how much a young player learns from a tutor? I've been tutoring my wondering kid with a PROFESSIONAL personality with a tutor (Darren Fletcher) who also has a PROFESSIONAL personality. However, I just...

After winning my first season with Manchester United with 100+ goals scored, I've found in my season season a lot of teams operate very defensively against me. I play a 4-1-3-2 (1 CM, 3 AM), so yes, it's attacking football and it was very exciting to watch in my first season. However, now it's...

From playing the game I've been noticing that the most exciting midfielders with high creativity are always natural AMC. However I'm thinking about playing a 4-2-2-2 (2 CM's, 2 advanced wingers and 2 forwards) and was wondering if I should retrain the playmaking AMC like Ganso into the CM role...

Hey guys I can't seem to get the most out of Gotze for my Manchester United team. I'm in my second season and I've retrained him in the AMC role as a supporting playmaker. However, he's only been averaging 6.9-7 for most games this season and his highest rating has only been a 7.3! All his...
