I've got a United save and I'm scoring absolute bucketloads at the minute. Two main formations: 1) 4-4-2 diamond Back 4 with Complete Wing Backs on both sides. This is important as the often get tonnes of space, and can put absolutely loads of crosses in all the time. DM playing...

I've been playing around with a formation very similar to this for a couple of years, not done much on it recently. But I've moved the full backs in to become central defenders, and dropped the very central defender to sweeper. The idea being that, for example, if the opposition are attacking...

Hugely dropping the CA of the majority of the United players is an extremely realistic thing to do though.

Eder Alvarez Balanta at CB. Absolute steal, easy to get for ?10m, one of the best CBs in the game.

I've just got to say, the presentation of this tactic is fantastic! I wish all the posts in this section were as detailed and informative as yours!

Well I never knew it was related to international games, that makes a lot of sense now! Thanks!

The thing about general training on tactics is wrong. That trains players tactical attributes. What you want to do is set match training on tactics only, and for as much time as possible. So therefore schedule as many friendlies as you can. Doesn't matter how weak the opposition are, or how...

I see you got Balanta, I'm just about to start my 2nd season and looking at buying him, how much did you get him for? Have you sold Wanyama to get enough money for that, as I don't think I'd have ever been able to sign him 1st season? 2nd got a lot better, I think I had a ?23m budget :) We...

I've got to just ask one question, you didn't register Vidal for the Champions League!? Had he been injured? Also, if Llorente is anything like on FM13, he'll score an incredible amount of goals from the Target Man (Attack) role. He got something like 360 in 340 games for me at Spurs!

I've gone with a 4-2-3-1 with Lambert up front as a Target Man (Attack) and Osvaldo on the wing as an Inside Forward (Attack). I usually start him at AMR but have him and Ramirez swapping throughout the game. Initially he wasn't doing much, but by the end of the season he'd got double figures in...

I had an early save as Southampton (it went terribly, but that's beside the point) where they were offering out Dos Santos for ?0! On the first patch that was anyway, maybe they don't do that now. On my save he's gone to Barca, but they didn't play him so listed him again. I've had bids of...

I'm in the same situation, just finished first season. How did you do? I'd say it would be ok using 2 tactics if they're both fully trained. I guess it's personal preference as I've had 1 that I've used in almost every game and it seems to work well in all situations. But if you're being more...

Why is it that when I add in instructions for specific players in a certain position, they apply for every tactic I am training? I don't want to do this, I have one tactic with wingers who swap, so I want players to change to become inside forwards. But then in another tactic, these...

Why would you not just download it from Steam? Only one reason I can think of.

So this is an idea I've had for a database for a while, and I wondered if there'd be any demand to make it, and if there is then I'll go ahead. There are a lot of players in game who have a second nationality set, either through family, place of birth or residence. My plan was to change all of...
