Ok, so this my first attempt to write a story, it'll probably result in me rage-deleting the save, but here goes! So, how did I get here? Last thing I knew I was working in my dead-end 9-5 job and now here I am listening to the chairman of Basingstoke FC lay out my new role. “Do you want me to...

Ok, I understand what you are saying about retain possession, but every role other than deep lying playmaker suggests there is an element of supporting attacks further forward. The only other option I see is to go into player instructions and tell them not make runs forward (not even sure that's...

Ok, this is helpful. Firstly I will change Kane to Advanced Forward and Rooney to perhaps an attacking midfielder with a support duty. Hopefully that will mean Kane would be my principal attacking threat and Rooney would be more of a support. Secondly, I will move Schweinsteiger and...

I need help with my Manchester United save. I seem to be having problems creating chances. (Quite similar to real life!). We’re predicted to finish third but lie 13th after five games. I started off the season quite well, drawing with Liverpool and winning away at Arsenal, but my results have...

Hi I have recently started a save with Manchester United and I have started the season with a 12 match unbeaten run. Despite this, on two occasions, we have surrendered 3-1 leads to draw 3-3. This was against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, but we are also allowing opposition to have a lot of...

Ive tried starting a save with Reading as they are a team I follow. The trouble is everytime I do, I can't decide what tactic to use. They're not exceptional at anything and not horrible at anything either. They are just a hard working team with a big target man in the shape of Pavel Pogrebnyak...

Haha! RVP and Falcao?! your joking arn't you?! I've done that and we're still having the same problems and I've also noticed we seem to take a lot of shots from outside the box especially from full back, so ive set them to shoot less now.

I cannot complain about my defence as we keep clean sheets all the time but going forward my strikers seem to think the aim is to hit the goalkeeper! I want to know if this is a game glitch or if im doing something wrong?! I'm using Manchester United in a diamond formation: De Gea (GK, def)...

I'm looking for a fun save to have a go out for the last couple weeks before FM15 comes out, any suggestions?

I know there are no hard and fast rules in FM, but I was wondering what people thought about the amount of instructions you give to a side playing a fluid mentality? My initial thought is that they are going to make their own minds up in fluid anyway so there is no need to, any thoughts??

Newburygaffer, I'm online most afternoons atm

I'm in my second season at Manchester United and I'm finding that when I go away from home all sorts of teams are getting in 10+ shots, inevitably leading to draws and defeats. I'm playing a narrow 4-2-3-1, with wingers pushed in. Rigid & counter Short passing, express themselves, push...

Hi I hope someone can help me. I'm playing a save with Manchester United and I seem to have a recurring problem. We regularly have more shots than the opposition and still end up drawing games. The typical scenario is playing someone as mediocre as Hull at home, we have 25 shots, 12 on target...

Well there's some interesting ideas I quite frankly had never thought of, thank you guys

Cheers, that actually makes sense, I've got to stop trying to come up with a formula for all teams (which doesn't exist) and take every team on it's merits
