Hey, so I have been having a couple of issues with FM2012. First of all, I upgraded by Youth Recruitment Network and facilities etc but it still shows up as "established" and not "well established" as the message from the board dictates. Moreover, my corporate facilities are good, I have done...

Buy Lucas from Sao Paolo. Can play all those positions, 2 and a half stars, and has key player potential.

Did you patch it to the latest patch?

Marco Rota, Valter Di Salvio, Julio Tous, Rodolfo Borrell, Paul Winsper. The Fitness guys you start off with don't seem to be that good, but I think you can switch one of them to be a GK coach, so try and do that. Some of them you need to ask to be coaches instead of other roles as they fit your...

Is there a list of coaches with the respective level of training they provide? Example: Frank McParland 5 stars on attack training. Also: a number of staff in the game do not want to discuss contracts with me, any reason why?

Tell me about it. I've been whooped by both those sides in the Champions League.

They challenged Madrid in 02-03, and it was a pretty tight race and then they got relegated if I remember correctly. Plus you can add a little flavor to it by signing only Basque players :) But yeah, not Giants per se. Apologies.

I don't believe so, as long as you use CMs with decent defensive stats. For example, although Poulsen did the dirty work, Meireles was very reliable in dispossessing as well. I think it depends more on the versatility of one of the CMs to play the attack well and defend alright. You may give up...

Real Sociedad?

Also: try and use "Team Blend" for the Match Preparation part most of the time. And switch it up accordingly depending on what seems to be the problem through a run of games.

Alright, I may give that a shot, any particulars on the Midfield roles? Edit - and is the OP better? Marginally? :P

Just because I play as Liverpool pretty well. I'd suggest a 4-5-1 direct with quick tempo. Torres as the Complete Forward. Wingers: try and stick to whoever is in form, if they're doing ok in a game but you need a goal, try and rotate others in to create a spark. AMC: Gerrard, try and use a...

Alright, I'm in my third year with Liverpool. Came in third, tied on points with United and lost to Arsenal by 2 points in my first year. Won the Prem the second year, but got battered by Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16. This season I was undefeated for 54 games in the Premier...
