Personally I would use the Play More Direct team instruction, since as far as I'm aware, Go Route One is for Stoke-esque hoofs up to strong target men. A direct style can be incisive, vertical, ground passes that cut through lines of pressure - high risk, high reward in that sense. In terms of...

Playing a halfback instead of a DM will push the centre-backs out wide and push the wing backs up in possession, allowing your inside forwards to operate in that dangerous central area without giving up width. The halfback position in FM isn't perfect though - the centre backs stay split even...

I usually end up writing essays whenever I talk about this kind of stuff so I'll try keep it as short as possible: Pep Guardiola insists that his players play at least 15 passes when they win the ball so that his players will be close together (short pass = short distance between players)...

Brendan Rodgers has been known to say that you should ideally have three and a half goal scorers in your team. So by that logic, wingers and forward-thinking central midfielders are paramount to the system. [/COLOR] It really depends on where you want to engage the opposition. While, say, the...

In my opinion, counter attacking football has to be played at a high tempo. The reason for this being that the whole purpose of a counter attacking style is to regain possession while your opponent is in the attacking phase and forming your own attacks from there. It may seem overly simplistic...

Oh, Willian, stop it!

In FM13 and 14 I've got really invested in saves starting in Chile and Colombia respectively. Part of the fun was learning about the clubs I was playing as and about the countries in general. I suppose what I'm looking for is a second division team maybe in Argentina or elsewhere in South...

HNNNNNG

Well he's still got a fair bit to go in his development and as always, so much of it depends on his attitude and how much he wants it. He's got the best chance out of the academy lot for sure though.

He's been a class act for a couple of years now, scary to think he's only 17

I found this but I don't know if this is who you're talking about?

Fabregas probably won't play every game though, although obviously he's first choice

I'd be very interested to see what Oscar could do in the "Fabregas Role". He has all the attributes for it and it would play to his natural tendency to drop deep for the ball and slowing play down. Such a role would ensure that he doesn't blunt as many attacks as he does.

I can personally recommend the Chilean and Colombian leagues if you're feeling adventurous, as they usually produce a lot of very cheap talent. Once you've negotiated the ridiculously complex domestic league and cups, your main challenge is to get decent results against the vastly superior...
