I always use a real notepad, even for stuff I could just remember. Gonna sell that player....write him down. Float crosses? Write it down. Could create my tactics on the tactics tab but Ima.....write it down first.

Use a stopper cover combination with a deeper defence. With a high line you'll want it straight for the offside trap so defend.

Since this game came out I've been studying and haven't really been able to put in some serious man hours on this game. I also used to be quite good, however with this game I really sucked.....like really sucked. As I trawled through fmbase to find answers, people cited updates to the ME and the...

Lol yeah I know the feeling, my existing backlog of tactics are all useless now. It's not that I feel they're guilty of over playing it. Equally we play well in our own half but I think we need to have the possession further up the pitch to maybe create more. I'm playing a narrow diamond, maybe...

So simply put after 3 weeks of a difficult learning curve my Fiorentina team are playing well and reasonably positioned (5th). I've long been burdened with the old 27 shots, 6 on target, x goals. Now however my accuracy is much better however I am having less shots. My Asst is giving me stick...

So I am starting a new game on FM, my previous 3 saw me win the quad with Arsenal in my first year, the second saw me hit the play off places with Plymouth Argyle and the third saw me blitz the championship with Crystal Palace. I have been playing these games since 07 and the reason I tell you...

Excellent post mate, I disagree about the tactics side of things particularly with Wenger, he seems almost adamant to be the one who other teams have to try and stop and he does tweak things in game. Also you know he's never going to go out and play like Allardyce one day. It's a style of play...

Yeah I know man, I would go if I was in the area but then given recent performances it would be the equivalent of self harming.

I'm in Plymouth mate, it's quite a walk.

Great post mate, I constantly try and get Arsenal playing well. First stop David Alaba. Are Arsenal actually called the Red Army? Isn't that the Russians or something? :P

So I've started a lot of games recently as I spend ages tweaking a perfect* tactic and then immediately become disenchanted the second it doesn't work. I have an Abramovich approach when it comes to success. The two teams I most frequent are Arsenal and Bilbao. So my point is this, I can play a...

If it's a classic tactic and mr houghs usually are you can't use touchline instructions or anything.

Yeah that's fair stephensmith84, I do look at those. I think it goes without saying that I want those stats high. I however am trying to replicate the arsenal style of recycling possession at the back and letting the team recover/regroup. I think the thing that would make an average tactic a...

There pass completion stats are 20-30% lower than the rest of the team, I have vermaelen playing through balls he's pretty good.
