Pretty sure somebody will have already posted this, but well worth sharing just in case!

Obviously it goes without saying that we should all have more than one tactic in match prep, but will it affect the team negatively at all to mix up classic tactics with tactic creator tactics as your standard 3? I'm currently using Xenon's 4-2-2-2, and two of Mr Hough's, but want to swap one...

The press keep on at me about Prestia as well! Getting him signed up! Got a couple of newgens coming up nicely as well, bought a 17 year old lad from Ajax who's making a mockery of the U18s.

Papadopoulos looks cracking, just might have to give him a go, and I didn't think of Varane. Cheers guys

:wub: Xherdan Shaqiri :wub: Nani actually does a pretty good job cutting in from the right for me as well.

Looking for a world class (or close), relatively young (21-28) brick wall to sit in defence for my Man United side. Essentially a long term replacement for Vidic, somebody similar to him or John Terry. Ferdinand will be easy to replace, with Jones and Smalling as well as my acquisition of the...

Sampdoria were the first team I played with. Great fun in the first season, mostly because you very rarely lose a game, but I found it very difficult to adjust to a new tactic when I got sussed out in second season and went about 15 games without winning. If you want a progressive save, where...

According to the most reliable source on the face of our great planet, Wikipedia, Sanogo suffered from a fractured tibia, and recovered in May 2011. On the plus side, when he recovers, he really is a beast. Better in first season than he is in second for me though, which is bizarre.

Man City in the second season.... They're destroying everybody.

Won Carling Cup, Premier League and Champions League in first season with United, using mostly this tactic but rotating with Mr Hough's to keep it fresh. Just heading into my second season having bolstered my squad with the mighty Marek Hamsik, hoping he can push out Giggsy over the course of...

It is injury I believe, as I bought him for Man Utd and I'm fairly sure it wouldn't let him play for an undisclosed injury.

Looking for a couple of long term options for the LCM position, Ryan Giggs is killing that position currently but reaching the end of his career, and Anderson is just starting to come into his own for me. Since it seems to be a fairly deep-lying role, where the man is gonna go forward, would...

Cracking tactic. Absolutely bossing everything with Man United (and I know it's easy, before somebody sarcastically dubs me the king of FM, I'm just pants at this game.) Terrifying prospect trying to replace Giggsy in that MCL slot though, nobody I have right now even comes close!

Sorry for late reply, usually tend to just stick with a decent long-shotter lurking outside area, and the rest just set to go forward/stay back.

May sound silly, but if I were looking for young players to fit this tactic in future, would it make sense to drop some mental/technical attributes down in filter, and set max age to 18-21? Would I actually find the players I want that way?
