First game, not even 50% fluid and did this to poor Barnsley....... If that happens when half fluid then, well, I'd love to see it in full swing! XD I'll continue testing for rest of season, intrigued to see how many Brooks can get as currently training him to be a striker (only has 11...

Being an Ablion fan & season ticket holder for nigh on 15 years I can safely say Shane Long is the most overrated player on FM! Don't get me wrong, I actually like the guy IRL, will always give 110% but just not a natural goalscorer, never has been & never will be! The reason why we sold him is...

Had a really good Shakthar save myself (still got it actually), 1st season I used Fred as a AP (a) from CM, can more than do a job there. Also, I used Sobol at LB from the start, has the potential to become a very good LB & home grown, so helps with league rules. I did however go out & buy a new...

Shakhtar squad Feb. 3rd season. 3-1-3-1-2 GK - Valdes/Koval CB - Mangala, Rakitskyi, Kryvstov, Rykov (regen), Chygrynskyi, Stepanenko (can also play DM) DM - Yacob, Fernando, Grechyshkin, Klistov (regen) DW - Srna, Bruno, Luis Felipe, Silva, Sobol CM - Sotnikov (regen), Goncharov (regen)...

Thought i'd try this out with my Shakhtar side in 2015.... Suarez has been on fire from the left, as well as my 17 yr old regen (Sotnikov) from CM. What really surprises me tho is the number of clean sheets i've had, infact, only goal i've conceded whilst trying this tactic was from a...

Awesome player in FM as well as IRL! Got him for my Shakhtar side for 11m first season, never looked back! (H)

Podolski I loaned to Liverpool (couldn't sell him) just didn't fit in my plans! As for Thorne, i'm a Baggies fan so know all about the lad, lol. If not for injuries IRL the lad would be so much better, still turns out decent on FM tho. Rosicky is coming in very handy for me, what with Arteta...

Just the usual stuff you see on a beta, concede from crosses, CB's not tackling, etc etc....should be better when the full release is out! (I hope, lol). I use Flamini, Arteta & Ramsey/Wilshere as my 3 in the middle, also chuck in Rosicky from time to time (who, btw, is pretty **** useful this...

Tried him as a Treq, DLF & False 9, he gets around 3-4 really good chances a game but always misses the target! It got so bad I dropped him for Ozil for upfront, struggles to make my bench now, which is a massive shame as i'm a huge fan of is IRL! I'm hoping that once he settles (after a season...

If you retrain him to play ST I reckon he'd be quite good as a false 9, altho don't quote me on that as this FM seems very hit & miss at times, haha! I play Gibbs LB atm, done ok for me, Monreal is a decent back up but will be going after Luke Shaw on the full release. Vela I got for 3.4m buy...

I actually tried that same formation in my Arsenal save till Ozil got injured, played him as a Treq upfront tho & did quite well, 3 goals & 5 assists in 6 games before injury. Now playing Vela there (as Giroud is injured also) & he is on fire, lol

The dark skin I got from FM View I think it was, the reason I have more stuff on the profile screen is because of monitor size (like said above), using a 24 inch monitor! Think I paid 19m upfront for him, with additional add on's bringing it to around 23m ish. Only problem is he has been very...

Started a new game as West Brom recently & thought i'd try out this tactic seeing as tho our main strength is in the DM area. Have to say, have not been disappointed! Hopefully can carry on our recent form & push for Europe come end of season!
