    Importing Graphics from Alternate HDD

    Hi there! So I have FM15 installed on my SSD for better performance, but I don't want to clog it up with loads of player faces and kits etc. So I installed them on my other hard drive. I was wondering if there was any way to change the folder where the graphics are taken from, so I can get...

    How to get strikers to drop onto opposition midfielders?

    I want my strikers to drop deep when we aren't in possession in order to stop the opposition playing through the middle of the park. I want to avoid using a defensive forward if possible, currently using a target man and a false nine partnership. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Loan players getting injured

    I have noticed that a significant number of my young players I have loaned out are picking up injuries, some of them quite severe. I don't know if this is a bug or just something that is down to them playing too many games too young? Either way it seems I am going to have to stop loaning...

    How does compensation work?

    I have this young star in my team, signed him for pennies last year. He is out of contract at the end of this next season, and Tottenham are after him. He won't sign a new contract and it looks like I am going to lose him. However, I was wondering if I run his contract down will I get...

    Messed up set pieces?

    Defending set pieces is a joke. Players losing their man is kind of annoying but understandable cause I'm playing in a low league with bad defenders. This however... is a joke. First screenshot, the wall is clearly messed up and not protecting anything. The player proceeded to drive the...

    Crashing every time I load my save!

    Whenever I load my Crewe save, after about five to ten minutes the game crashes and an error message appears. I am in the summer of my second season, and I have been playing over the weekend just fine. I was wondering if it was possibly something to do with the latest update today? Anyone had...

    Conceding from set pieces and crosses all too often

    I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but it seems that 90% of the goals I concede are from either set pieces or crosses. With crossing the full backs close down the wingers or whoever is crossing, but they never stop the cross from coming in. With set pieces it just seems that we never clear...

    Why is there no competitive FM scene?

    This thought literally just crossed my mind and I though I would bring it here. Why does Football Manager not have a competitive scene? With the rising popularity of the game and FM gameplay on YouTube it seems odd that there isn't a structured system of competition. Watching how the E-Sports...

    Regen pictures disappeared?

    Whenever I look on the profile of a regen player the picture is just the grey outline one that the game has for regular players before you install facepacks, rather than a generated face. It makes distinguishing between real players and regens quite difficult, so if anyone knows how to get the...

    Bully football?

    I have spent countless hours trying to create a 'perfect football' tactic, with beautiful passing, effective pressing and world class goals. However, I want to try something different. I want to be the next Tony Pulis. I want my players to be bullies on the pitch, kicking seven bells out of...

    Effective Mind Games?

    Are there any particular things you say to the press that seem to work consistently? I often talk to the press when prompted by my staff, but never really see any pattern in what I say and the results of it.

    Good Npower League 1 Players?

    In my second season with Fleetwood Town, won the league last year so I am looking to strengthen for my League 1 campaign. I have signed a few players to strengthen key positions, but I was just wondering if there are any gems for that kind of level in this year's game. Keep in mind I have a...

    How to install custom kits?

    I recently got some brilliant fantasy kits designed for me but I don't know how to get them into my game? I download them and put them into my 'Kits' folder, but they aren't appearing in game? Is it something to do with config files?
