Yeah, the majority of my staff still have low knowledge of my clubs players. I tried to prioritize staff with high adaptability, but many of them are foreign. I view games in comprehensive and I'm only 6 games in, but my familiarity is about 3/4 full (except for my 3rd tactic which I keep...

I've noticed this too. However, I'm in my first season and I pretty much replaced my entire staff. Im hoping this is the problem as they have yet too completely adapt. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

Are you in Europe? The budget takes that into consideration when it gives you your budget. If so, then the end-of-year payoff is much greater than the 2/3 million Euros you are losing per season based on your monthly losses. If not, you might have a chairman who loves the club and a bunch of...

How much money are you losing a month? It's not unusual to lose money every month and then make it up come the end of the season when you get your CL/UEFA money. You probably shouldn't worry unless you are under-performing or you bought a lot of expensive players on 48 month payment plans...

Wrong Alcantara brother...Rafinha Alcantara

If you scout players based on their attributes or any other criteria, then non-scouted players will be shown as well. You may only know a handful of their attributes, but they will be shown. However, if you search for 4 star ability, then the only way that can be known is if you scouted that...

I play extended and I usually play with mid-level teams. I also play with a ridiculously large database (I have like 35 leagues loaded and most of those playable). I've only done a couple of serious saves in fm 12 (Malaga and Betis), but I'm generally in for the long-haul. I tried to play...

I really enjoyed the fact that this all happened in less than 24 hours and he has absolutely no recourse. Each decision was final and there's no going back (I tried to offer him a scouting position). Perhaps most importantly, I've destabilized Madrid's entire season (I find it hilarious that...

It was a tough year for Mourinho. First, he blew a 6 point lead with 2 games left in the season to tie with me for first place, but lost the head-to-head tiebreaker due to suffering a manita to me (in the 2nd to last game of the season no less). Then, I beat him 2-0 this season and he spoke...

Apparently The Special One now has a poor opinion of me and is satisfied with life despite the most embarrassing professional mistake in the history of professional football...

As a Barcelona fan who usually manages in La Liga with mid/low level first division teams, I enjoy continually antagonizing Mourinho. Regardless of what happens, I make a point to randomly make negative comments about him in the press like: "I don't think this profession suits Mourinho"...

Martinez is fine as a cb...thats what he plays for Athletic in real life. I'm a big proponent of converting DMs to cbs (at a minimum to provide positional depth). I love my cbs to be able to maintain possession and not just blast the ball up field.

Lynch is much better. 1) He's younger, 2) His mental stats are far superior (especially in teamwork and anticipation...2 of the most important attributes for any player), 3) He's faster, 4) Off ball and flair.

All things being equal personality wise, Lynch by far.

I don't know that you need to go to a 4-6-0, but I was more suggesting to slow down your tempo to allow your players more time to find an opening as once your rep increases, opponents will start playing more defensively against you. A narrow 4-4-2 diamond or a 4-5-1 variant are pretty good...
