Need a little advice/tips on this. Struggle to break deep teams down

And when i say shooting i mean ALL forms of shooting. First of all, players take way too many long shots, even when you put them on Shoot less and work into box. This wouldn't be a big deal if the shots were good but they're not, 90% of them go way wide and don't even look like they're trying to...

Has anyone managed to recreate the way he had Chelsea playing back then?

Haven't played since release, just wondering if there are any changes that i should know about such as changes to the game, bug fixes/bugs that currently exist.

I'm managing Leeds in the first season. I was doing very well with them, going between 1st and 3rd over the months. Then my tactic just suddenly stops working and i lose 8 in a row. I'm at the point where i'm trying to create a new tactic but nothing seems to be working. What do i do in this...

Just bought Football Manager and I'm looking for a fun team that i could do a long term save with. I've been trying to decide for an hour so any suggestions would be great. I'd prefer to stay in England and would be willing to manage in the Championship, but i'm not against going out of England.

I started a save with Manchester United (LFCMarshall update) and have created a tactic that I've been dominating with so far. The left IF has been scoring quite a few while the right IF has been assisting as well. I also bought Austin because i sold Hernandez and loaned out Wilson so i needed...

Is there a thread anywhere that kind of explains what each role does? I don't think the game does a good enough job of doing it. For example, explaining which DM role will just sit in front of the back 4 and protect them. Kind of like that, simplified if you will?

Now over the past 2 games (Tottemham and Liverpool) United have played the best football they've played since Fergie's retirement. As a United fan it has been fantastic and refreshing to see fast and excellent football. I don't want to get carried away because it's only 2 games but i think we're...

I've attempted to recreate Marcelo Bielsa's way of playing in real life. He is known for his overwhelmingly high press and having numbers in all parts of the pitch. I have made 2 tactics, both very similar but one provides a bit of extra cover in midfield. It would be great if a few people...

Has anyone been able to recreate the 4-3-3 that Fergie used to use mostly in tough games. Use the 2008 Champions League final as an example. He often dropped one of the strikers into midfield to make United more defensively solid. Tevez was usually more central with Rooney and Ronaldo wider. The...

I'm in my first season with Blackburn and i'm doing really well considering the squad isn't that great. Currently lying in second after 36 games. Found a tactic thats working really well ( Defense could do with a little help. 4-3-3 with 1 DM). Only problem i'm having is Jordan Rhodes isn't...

Anyone managed to create a tactic that simulates the way Atletico play in real life? I've tried and failed miserably

Anyone else notice how other clubs seem to get players cheaper than you do? Wolfsberg had a £3m bid accepted by Villa for Vlaar. I offer £5m and it get's rejected? Now this is nothing to do with us being in the same league, this happens with players in my league. Jack Cork is another example, i...

Can someone help me make a solid 4-4-2 that attacks the wings, maybe with a big strong striker and a poacher? Tried numerous times but i keep failing. Haven't managed to complete a season on FM yet. Conceding corners is also a big problem.
