I wonder how much time SI needs to tailor a proper training module? Probably 10-15 years. I played this game since FM 2007 and probably this is the last final year. I will not play anymore this game because is less and less fun. Every year I hoped it will be better, but the direction of...

For CB I bought in first season Carlos Izquierdoz for less than 6M Euro. I don't remember exactly what wage he wanted, I think about 200K Euro/month. Chema can be bought in first season with 8.5M Euro (6M upfront and 2.5M after 30 appearances for the team) and he's wages was around 150K...

Gerónimo Rulli is one of the best, not cheap (around 35M Euro), but he worth every penny. Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Cheapest Centre Back is Eric Mathoho, below 500K Euros. Jordan Torunarigha could be cheap, depending on who bought him in summer. If Luca Antei wasn't bought in the summer then you can obtain him less then 5M Euro. But the best deal is Edoardo Goldaniga. If he still is at Sassuolo you can buy...

Moussa Marega isn't a very good deal, very bad First Touch and Technique, no Dribbling and low Decisions. So, first if you need a cheap midfielder who can play box to box midfielder or deep lying playmaker. Nicola Vukcevic is the best cheapest midfielder you can find, but you have to appeal for...

The best free assistant manager is Eddy Sözer.

TotalFootballFan9 thank you for your effort in testing and sharing this tactic. Now, I feel it is my duty to share to you my experience. I played with my Everton against Chelsea. Chelsea used a 3-2-2-2-1 (5-2-3 wide) tactic, as you can see in the picture. I used TFF V3 tactic. First game ended...

I don't know where your Work Ball Into Box source is, but in game they said "instructs players to work hard for their opening, remaining patient and not forcing the issue but rather retaining the ball until the breakthrough occurs". Do you think this description suits well for a Counter...

You have in your Under 23's Ademola Lookman and he can be tutored by Gylfi Sigurðsson. Christian Pulisic is having great potential, but is hard to get him out of Dortmund. Javier Aquino is well rounded, right footed, so he can be use as insider, usable on the right side too, but you can have...

The idea of a counter tactic is to let them come and then win the ball, throw the ball to your strikers rapidly. So "Work ball into the box" isn't useful in this scenario. I suggest to untick it. In this edition of Football Manager crosses are rubbish, so your wingbacks can't really help the...

Probably you have tired players, try to rotate them. Change the starting tactic. From time to time, try to use 5-3-2 Counter when you play away. Play with Standard mentality when you play home.

I've missed 3 out of 5. After firs two misses I take out the players from the penalty list.

Everton finished 8th in my save.

The days when you could do such a thing are gone. And here is why. First, they ruined the tutoring system. In previous versions of FM, you could take a young player with low determination and put him to be tutored by a senior with good stats. In FM 2017 almost every tutoring action is finishing...

It depends! If I have a center back who makes mistakes and his rating is bellow 6.3 I will get him out as quick as possible to avoid conceding a goal. Usually if a striker doesn't score until 74th minute, I will get him out. I tend to not make other subs until 60th minute. I tried to not make...
