I've just started a new career and simmed the first season unemployed. I decided to pick West Brom who had just been relegated and had some high valued players wanting to leave, so I picked up a huge amount of transfer fees to rebuild the team. The philosophies I added were to focus on youth and...
To an extent, the longer passes are, the more risky they are as there is more chance of the pass being intercepted or missing it's target completely. But short passes can still be risky. An attacking player near the opposition box (with work the ball into the box active, otherwise he may shoot)...
Agreed. I would like to see people construct more critical posts about themselves rather than of the game. There's a lot of criticism of SI in threads here, but no criticism from people of themselves and what they might be doing wrong. If you can't admit your own flaws, improvement is going to...
It's best to be used if you struggle to create clear cut chances and your only hope is an opposition mistake, otherwise you are best sticking to your original game plan if it seems you were previously making chances. Let's say I'm losing at half time, I go overload for 5-10 mins at the start of...
I'd agree that you need 2 new wingers. I know Giaccherini will be getting on into his 30s now for you. I bought Valentin Stocker when I made it into the CL and he was fantastic on the left wing. Ruben Garcia is more pacey and probably better for counter attacking tactics, but he can also play on...
I think those groups look very well balanced. It looks like England have a good chance at getting through to the knockout stage. I think Messi could probably be around 12 million pound. I can still imagine him getting a few goals and on a high wage.
I love this new information. It's brought up a lot of points I didn't even realise like the trophies won per player. I'd love to be getting more games for the club though, it seems I'm pretty much 3rd choice at Spurs now. Not that I want to leave, we have the strikeforce to win trophies surely...
As a Sunderland fan, I think a sporting director isn't the worst idea in football. I've seen many managers in recent years buy overpriced rubbish who start, then flop, then the manager gets the blame, and rightly so. The problem is those players remain longer than the managers and the team...
Welcome back! I've never been to Auschwitz but I would have loved to if I had the chance back when I was in school. I did go around France and Belgium though to the old battlefields and what not. If you ever go there though, it's best to not park right next to old unexploded ordnance like my...
Jeronimo Rulli- Argentine GK
Santiago Vergini- Argentine CB
Eric Dier- English CB
Guido Pizarro- Argentine CM
Hector Canteros- Argentine CM
Some good, cheap players there. Eric Dier should have a buyout clasue of around ?3mil, and I had no problem with any work permits for the others. I can't...
I don't mean to imply anyone is struggling, but my experience is different to anyone else it seems. In my saves, I'm the one who has teams battling to put in a good enough transfer fee. I honestly don't see problems with transfers, if anything they're too easy, finding players with 4* potential...
I don't understand what peoples problems are with transfers. If a player is too expensive, look elsewhere. Find players in their last year of contract if you can, as this is where you can buy a good player at an affordable price because the AI managers want to avoid loss of money if possible...
I'm performing better since the patch to be honest. I had some struggles with my tactics when I made small changes to the way I played, but a few more good recommendations from this community has allowed me to play better possession football than any team I've come up against so far. Personally...
