So Im playing a save with Athletic Bilbao and contract negotiation time rolls around. Im trying to tie all my young and / or quality players down to long term deals with high release fees. But after setting a realistic release fee say £10 million or so upon euggesting terms the agent comes back...

i play a high tempo high line pressing 433, but on defensive or counter mentality with fluid or very fluid shape and it works wonders, my front 3 are 2 inside forwards one support one attack with player instructions to clsoe down much more, tight marking and tackle harder and in the centre i...

how about in 2016 making the player biographys acutually work!! kepa arrizabalaga and unai lopez in my athletic bilbao game have biographys that are either wrong or not there at all, i know its only cosmetic but its annoying just the same, not sure if this has something to do with them being...

ah fair enough i havnt tried very fluid with these instructions as im using a very technically limited boavista team which just dont have the skills to be fluid, but by setting those instructions i have cut out alot of defensive errors maybe you should try ease off tackles that way they will...

i have a bilbao save also and yea iturraspe is quality really good holding midfielder and also a handy roaming playmaker if you use that role

i would remove close down more as that pulls your team out of shape and better players can beat your defenders, i have had success with setting close down less team instruction and then player instructions set the full backs to close down less and tackle harder and the centre backs to tighter...

couple of things i noticed you have no holding midfielder there, a ball winning midfielder isnt a holder as they have instructions to close down and hassle the opponents meaning they dont keep the midfield shape very well, either change him to a centre midfield defend or leave him as a ball...

seem to be having a bit more success lads with the defending issues i have a 4411 with a defensive mentality and flexible shape, close down less, lower tempo, play narrower and pass into space instructions. i have set player instructions to try and be more specific to my defenders as too many...

i agree with having xavi in my athletic game i couldnt sign him due to not being basque but when he retired i snapped him up as an under 19s coach straight away so hopefullt he can impart his knowledge on the next gen of basque midfield maestros

another issue i have noticed is when using a defensive mentality centre backs will put no pressure on opponents inside the box even into the 6 yard box i understand that setting a defensive mentality lowers their individual mentality but how can we stop the opposition having free reign of our...

seeing as how you have raided athletic for iker muniain try scouting aymeric laporte and xiker in the b team for centre backs, laporte is knocking on the french 1st team door and xiker is getting epic in my athletic game 3rd season in

ive created a new 4411 tactic thats defensive and it seems very solid, the team keep their shape and the midfield set up to screen the defence. close down less is selectedto provide this screening so just a bit of pressure is put on the man on the ball, this is working for the midfield but the...

tell me about it just played barcelona with my athletic bilbao team 3rd season in, went 1-0 down from a near post cross and tap in, equalised through iker muniain running through the whole barcelona defence and curling it into the far post, fancied my chances and after re-signing llorente...

Anyone else noticed this you could be winning and controlling the game your tactics could be spot on yet the other team alwyas seem to score and its usually from a cross and a near post runner who slots it home. its getting a bit annoying for me tbh. Ive tried multiple ways to stop this even...

may have to give baovista a try after reading that post, currently enjoying my athletic bilbao save too much but they may be a good choice for my second save as i have started branching out who i manage in the last few editions of the game, last year in fm14 i started as penarol in urugauy then...
