    What makes a good manager?

    Lately I've been getting bored of FM mainly because I feel that in order to be successful all you need to do is buy the best players and watch the team play. It's really frustrating because I feel like I'm not actually doing anything when I am successful and then in situations where good tactics...

    Screen Stopping Me Playing

    Since about 4/5 days ago whenever I try to play a match the screen goes mental, the computer starts making loads of noise and then it crashes. By 'mental' I mean it seems like the camera is going inside the stadium or something like that. Instead of seeing the pitch as I should I end up getting...

    Poor Tactics or Poor Players?

    About 10 games into my 1st season with Preston and I'm changing from 4-4-2 to 4-5-1 due to poor results and my assistant suggesting the current formation is unsuitable. However, my strikers have struggled to score as it is (3 between them all season) so with 4-5-1 they will find it even harder...

    Lone Strikers

    About 12 games into my 1st season with Preston and I've changed from 4-4-2 to 4-5-1 due to poor results and my assisstant suggesting the current formation is unsuitable. So, I need a striker who can score without much support (i.e. another striker alongside him) as my current ones can't...

    Need formation help

    Almost every team I play against says they do well against 4-4-2 on my pre match advice meetings and I can hardly ever beat anyone, Does anybody else have this problem and know how to play 4-4-2 but not get beat all the time?

    4-4-2 Help

    Whatever team I manage on FM I always seem to have the same problem. On almost all prematch meetings it says the team I am playing against do well against teams who play 4-4-2. Last season I was Sheffield Wednesday and this season I am Chesterfield and I'd guess at about 90% of the matches I've...

    away tactics

    what tactics do you use on away games. my home form is always good, but my away form is probably the worst in the league on some games. i had one game with norwich, and got one win all season!

    not finishing teams off

    just finished my first season with preston, finished 1 point outside of the play-offs. i know exactly my problem, not being able to finish a team off. it was rediculous how many times i had taken the lead, away from home, and let it slip. i lost 17 games all season, only 3 at home, and these...
