Hey, I've dual managed my club team and an international team (England) and it's good fun, you can keep it up for a while. But right now since I can't find it in my heart to leave my club team (Newcastle) I decided to make another manager and took control of a vacant spot at Arsenal. I've...

In my opinion, there's a desperate need for the match engine in this iteration to be fixed. It's frustrating to no end when you concede so, so many goals directly due to mistakes that can only be described as "howlers." The occaisional one is acceptable, however, they are ridiculously frequent...

I always love bringing youth through to become superstars, this can be something for me to look forward to once these **** exams are dealt with. Watched lots of your videos so far as well like the experiments, they've been really good, thank you making them :)

Hi Brook, I'm fairly certain that that would count as being trained for your club, even though he's hardly played there.

Hey mate, I'll try and put this in as clear English as possible. robertlecomber09's advice is good, you could look at the goals they score and think why they happen? Maybe have your full backs playing more defensively if wingers are getting behind them. Also, is your defensive line set as high...

Well, I brought regens through and sold my top stars at their prime, honestly I think I had a transfer budget of ~ £800m.

I'm surprised that after playing so, so much of this game, I just had my happiest moment in it so far. Never before have I had this happen. Without even requesting it, my board has decided to build a new stadium, and they've named it after my surname (Gibbons' Park.) Such a nice touch by the...

The major thing that bugs me is how inferior international management is compared to club management. Forgive me if I'm simply overlooking features (I don't think I am), but basic things like what area to focus on in training, or what role the coaches should be training the team. Scouting...

Yeah I can confirm the first part, DDM (Determination, Discipline and Motivation) contributes to the rating of all coaching types, but other attributes are used for specific coaching roles. From the top of my head, Attacking and Technical stats are used for Shooting Training, while Attacking and...

Absolutely, if I'm drawing (or God forbid, losing) at ~85 minutes I stick that defensive line way up high, the full backs become wing backs and overlap like there's no tomorrow. I'm surprised by how many late goals I've managed to get by going for the jugular, I can't recall a time when I've...

Couldn't agree more, I always have a strong first 11 with very high determination stats, and get the stars to tutor the wonderkids that will take their jobs in a matter of years. All the while keeping the wonderkids on as small wages as possible, and selling the stars just as they leave their...

Different counties have different player generating/ youth acadamy applicant dates, England is 13th of March, and the other top-talent producing countries also have their players generated around March time, so scout top countries around then. By top countries I mean the ones you would naturally...

Oh go on then :P This is the result of a very kind Russian chairman, ~7 years of developing quality regens to replace top players, who I sell in their prime to get mega money (£36m for Davide Santon, yes please.) I'm so tight :P I'll only spend when it's absolutely necessary (such as getting...

Remember seeing this thread and I couldn't agree more, my team is phenomonal yet it seems like the only way the game can make me concede is by having my players have 1-2 howlers per match. I've started recorded some that stand out. Marc Andre ter Stegen becomes one of the best keepers in the...

@sammyt The club has no debt, but I AM still paying for transfers, a lot more than I realised in fact. Last season I was still paying off transfers like Gotze and Cavani, amounted to ~£22.5m over the season. I still have ~£4m worth of Cavani to pay but that's all. Edit: I realise now that...
