    Conceding from crosses

    I do exactly this. Tried and tested with Roma, Gladbach and Benfica. Any opposition wide players closed down with hard tackling. Pretty susceptible to red cards (two yellows), though. Keep two full backs on the bench and sub the starters after an hour if they're booked.

    Andrija Zivkovic/ Goncalo Guedes

    Guedes is amazing for my Benfica team (obviously I didn't have to sign him). Play him as an IF (attack) on the left wing. Surprisingly scores a lot of headers. Think he got around 25 goals and 20 assists in all competitions in my second season. I play Jorge or Zeca at left back just behind him...

    Negative PA

    I often do this too, I increase or decrease players' abilities to a level which reflects how they're performing in real life, regardless of whether I'm signing them or not. For example, on this year's game I've altered Jamie Vardy's acceleration and pace to 19, to reflect the fact that he was...

    Game crashing on 30 June/1 July?

    Tried it, just does the exact same thing. Processing logo spinning around, but can't click on 'return from holiday' etc.

    Game crashing on 30 June/1 July?

    Trying to progress my Newcastle save from 30th June 2013 to 1st July 2013 but it keeps crashing on the 'processing' screen. Tried it twice now and it just doesn't work. The 'processing' symbol in the top left keeps going around but nothing happens.

    My full FM save has just converted to FMC by itself...

    I'm managing Gillingham on my full FM save. Basically I got annoyed with my team so I saved it, decided to take a break and load up my FMC save with Newcastle. Couple of hours later, I load up my Gillingham save and it's decided to convert itself to an FMC save (ie no teamtalks, faster date...

    How to stop your team passing aimlessly around opposition half?

    I'm absolutely sick of my players just playing constant, non-threatening short passes to each other in the opposition half. My wingers never take their man on, instead they turn around and pass it backwards, at which point my fullback turns around and passes it inside, and so on and so forth...

    Best Assistant Manager

    I use Karanka on my Bilbao save. Use Dean Ashton on all my others, for the lulz.

    Bad stats but great player?

    Obertan, AMR, Winger - Attack. Jon Aurtenetxe, DCL, Ball-playing defender, cover.

    Has anyone ever had something like this?

    Man City went over £350m in debt by the 3rd season on one of my saves, was mental. On my current save, Barca are over £100m in debt by the 4th season, and Xavi/Puyol have retired. They're pretty much screwed.
