There are some good free transfers around - Hargreaves, Adebayor, Barry, Santa Cruz, Joe Cole, Pienaar, Bridge, Berbatov but they arn't interested. They are a bit older but some experience would be good in my squad I think. As for loanees the good ones are choosing other teams over me but I...

Thanks. I've got about 12mil to spend but wages are the issue (and the fact that no one wants to play for me!), I can only offer 18k per week so have to keep offering large appearance bonuses. I think I am happy with my GK, CB x2, Poacher. Full backs, wingers, Att Mid, DLF/Target man are the...

Thanks guys, really helpful insight and ideas. I managed to get Daniel Sturridge on a free when in the Championship (he was unattached for 6 months!), I think he is gonna be my poacher. What qualities do you recommend for the deep lying forward in the formation above? Would it be a Teddy...

Everyone talks about 'pitch size', where is the option to choose what size pitch you have?

I have just been promoted to the Premiership with Cambridge United having won promotion from the BSP in a short period of time. The issue I have is that I have a very small budget for either transfers or wages (am getting beaten to free transfers by Championship clubs). My stadium is tiny and my...

At Cambridge and have enjoyed back to back promotions to League 1. It is pretty straightforward if you take time going through and picking up released players in June/July, also get lots of loan players. I find playing a direct syle in a 4-1-3-2 formation works well. Some of my free signings...

Need a bit of help if possible. I started as Cambridge in BSP and won the league in first and got promoted from L2 in my second season. The first two yrs were easy, I just signed solid youngsters on free transfers who had been released by prem teams but now I am struggling to find any that are...

Cheers. Can you mix up man and zonal marking? If so which positions suit man marking and which zonal?? IMO zoanl suits FB's otherwise they keep getting beated by even the poorest of wingers

I am currently in League 2 with Cambridge and am struggling to decide on man marking or zonal marking. I play a 4-1-3-2 formation and find that with man marking my full backs get skinned regularly by opposition wingers. With zonal marking, I tend to concede more goals from set plays and my...

I have just been promoted to League 2 with Cambridge Utd and curently sitting top of League 2 after 13 games. I signed 3 excellent midfielders on free transfers - Donal McCarthy (ex-Man City winger), Oliver Norwood (ex-Man Utd CM) and Ryan Mason (AM ex-Spurs).

Quick (but maybe stupid) one. I hear a lot of people talking about playing high or deep defensive lines. How do you alter this? On what 'options' page is this? Thanks

I am currently Cambridge United in League 2 having won the BSP in my first season. I have a young team but the midfield is excellent for this league - I do only have one out and out winger though (Donal McCarthy from Man City) but would like to include him in the team. I do have a couple of...

Start with Cambridge United. My home team but they start with some solid players, a decent history and no budget for transfers so a bit of a challenge. Sign the likes of Adam Street, Gauthier Mahoto, King Gyan, Guylain Ndumbo-Nsunga, Chris James etc and win consecutive promotions

Best free transfer for LLM is Gauthier Mahoto. Free at the start, with about $1k p/w wages. You can beat the big teams to him by offering key player status. He will stay with you through the leagues and become a good prem player. Signed him for Cambridge United and he is immense
