    Away to the big teams

    I really struggle away to the big teams. I just don't know how to play against them. I've tried keeping possession and tried hitting them on the counter but none work or my tactics just don't seem to be right for big teams away. How do you all play away to the big boys? Any suggestions? I am...

    How do you stop crosses?!

    Can't defend crosses at all and its just getting beyond a joke now. Its so dodgy that EVERY cross they computer puts in then attack gets on the end of it. Completely ruins the game for me. I have tried everything. Closing down the winger, marking tighter. Everything. Just cannot defend crosses...

    Tactics away to big teams

    I recently done a West Ham save and got 2 seasons out of it before i thought i couldn't take them any further.

    Aston Villa

    Hey sorry if this is in the wrong section but i want to get into a long term save and i think Villa could be a good one. A real rebuilding job. Has anyone been Villa on FM15 and been successful? I have tried before and it didn't work out. Anyone recommend a good tactic(s) to use?

    Super Caley Ballistic!

    Look what i just done with Inverness CT! I still can't believe it! By far the best thing i have ever done in a FM series. It really shocks me because i wasn't the greatest on FM14. I actually done a Inverness one and finished 5th. I was targetting 4th on this season behind Celtic, Dundee Utd and...

    Help with Midtable Sides

    Hey guys, I usually attack with whatever team i go but when i go mid table teams i tend to never be able to finish a season or ever get past mid season. All i know is attack. Which in a way is good but sometimes theres better means of winning. I have tried seasons with the likes of West Ham...
