    2 up front

    With 3 CM's i think a good solution would be a DLP in the center, and 2 BBM with instructions to attempt through balls. The two forwards would probably serve you best as a DLF/Trequartista and a AF/TM/CF - depending on player suitability. But with a lack of proper wingers, i think 2 BBM's would...

    What counts as a a player's retirement?

    Think you've misunderstood a bit, mate.. Back in the days there seemed to be a trend that the really great players got a quasi-equivalent regen, but I don't think it was ever confirmed to actually be happening, or at least not a certain and definite thing. I can't remember seeing anything like...

    Somebody is giving my bad youths pro contracts

    He probably signed a pre-contract, with future contract being a pro one. So if he joined you 2-3 years ago through youth intake, someone might have offered him a contract then (if you did not controll it yourself at the time) Or you gave offered him a contract a few years back and forgot.. :D...

    Udinese - Your Guidance Needed

    I decided not to vote, because I do not have any knowledge of any of those tactics - I always use my own. I generally prefer a 4-4-2 attacking with a mix of possession and direct play, and "defensive winger" settings for ML and MR. The rest is mix and match based on the players available I'd...

    Selling Football Manager 2015 on fleabay

    No. Once a cd key is used through steam, it is locked to that account forever.

    The peculiar case of Newgens. - Also posted on Steam forum

    The interesting thing here, besides figuring out what exactly determines this - is if it's like this every newgen window, or if it's just some. This in relation for those trying to roll for a Son. If alternative 1: Some (but not all) Newgen windows are pre-determined to give you a specific type...

    Transfer save game files

    I might have been a little hasty. If memory serves, there's an option to upload/download saves to Steam directly from within the game itself, in one of the save/load menus. Though i might be thinking of a different game entirely xD Give it a look.

    Transfer save game files

    Two ways of doing it. 1. Enable Steam Cloud Save for FM15 on your old computer. Load the game, save and then exit. You'll see it uploaded to Steam Cloud. 2. Enable Steam Cloud Save for FM15 on your new computer, bada-bing, bada-boom, you're good to go. 2nd way, the manual old fashioned one is...

    How do you like to play FM?

    Developing youth is where it's at, innit bruv? I add a little extra challenge though, by only focusing on players from same nation as club. To have a 22 man squad of all English players and still be competitive in PL and CL is good fun and gives the savegame some challenge over time. Might...

    Struggling to find the best cooaches

    Try big database? Are you sure your filters don't leave them out? I've never really bothered too much with staff, as getting 4/4.5 stars in training is easy and good enough.

    HOYD effect on regens

    Not sure anyone can give you very accurate answer here. I suspect the code is simple enough that the day before is enough.

    Please can some help on European Qualification from Irish Leagues

    Well.. first and foremost you need to win your nation's top league. If your national coefficient is not high enough, you'll get the EUFA Cup instead. If you win the UEFA Cup, you get to play qualifiers for CL the next season. So in truth, you could need to advance into a 3rd season to get CL...

    Who is the most capable of improving weak foot?

    I think this is tied to the Adaptability and Versatility (hidden) stats of the player. I'm not sure if CA/PA counts for ability to learn new moves and/or train weaker foot. In general, I'd say your chances are pretty low but if you have a coach with really high technique coaching then let him...

    The peculiar case of Newgens. - Also posted on Steam forum

    See? The answer you give now, is based on information we've been fed over and over. I am well aware what the HoYD can do for my recruitment. But his stats are irrelevant. I am getting GK and DL.. not DR, not DC, or even DM.. DL and GK. He has 1 for coaching GK's, yet GK is the 2nd most...
