This may all be information you know and have tried, but to be clear, when you say you are training tactics, you do mean "Tactics Only" under Match Training, right? Not Tactics under Main Focus? I find the best way to get tactical familiarity up is to set the Scheduling slider all the way to...

This thread on the SI forums is pretty comprehensive. In short, it's a rights issue. Konami, Sega, and/or the J-League itself make it so that SI can't include it.

Right.

As much as I like Podolski in real life, the best thing he provides Arsenal in FM is 20M to spend on someone much better. Giroud, on the other hand, scores a goal per game with the right support behind him. No contest.

Not surprising, really, considering he's right-footed.

Yes, set him to Target Man in settings, and you absolutely have to Float Crosses to him as his pace is an issue otherwise. In fact, his speed is worrying enough that I've taken to increasing his mentality nearly all the way to attacking, and generally tweaking him so he doesn't try to roam...

Formation: Primarily a 4-2-3-1 with CMs and wingers, sometimes a 4-5-1 (or 4-1-2-2-1) with a DM, two CMs, and wingers. Very rarely a flat 4-3-3 with a couple poachers beside him. Role: Primarily Target Man - Attack, with his Creative Freedom turned down to about five clicks from the left...

(Cross-posting this from another forum, in case you've seen it already.) Just finished the second season and retained the Premier League crown! I've finally taken the time to get some screenshots together and share some thoughts. SEASON 2012-2013 Transfers In: Marouane Fellaini...

Got him in January 2014 with Arsenal. I intended to use the second half of that season just to acclimate him into the squad, rather than rely on him straight away (and we were doing well enough without him). He didn't supplant Llorente at striker, but he played brilliantly as an Inside Forward...

Never mind "one year later" - QPR finished 5th in the first season in my game. Crazy.

Miyaichi has 4-star potential, unless you're counting him as technically part of the first team. He looks promising. Also, I have no idea who has fixed ratings and who's being generated with negative PA, so I could have gotten a bad roll of the dice on some of them. Maybe there's still hope.
