I am trying to create a tactic that focuses on using pacy wingers to get in floated crosses to a couple tall strikers who will head it in (I've never been able to get consistent heading goals with any tactic so I'm trying to see if I can). My question is whether the finishing attribute also...

Ever since FM10 (the first FM I played), I have played a 4-2-4 almost exclusively. It works extremely well; you can get an insane amount of goals and actually let up surprisingly few goals. However, I still feel as though there is room for improvement in the tactics I use because the midfielders...

I think the title pretty much explains my question. There are some CBs like Pique and Lucio who have the PPM "get forward whenever possible." I am wondering if pairing two CBs like that is totally foolish. Here's the main reason I am curious. I always play a 4-2-4 formation. The formation is...

Recently, I started a new game as Man City. I actually had an old game with them that was a few years in, but the hard drive that was on got completely fried, so I lost it. This was one of my more interesting games, solely due to insane transfers, so I decided to replicate the transfers that I...

So I tend to not really use other people's tactics that much because I want to find the best recipe myself. With that said, I've had a lot of failing tactics before. I've tried to go super complicated and change a lot of stuff and it normally doesn't work well. And when you change so much it...

Okay so I have just got Messi on a Man City save. I've been playing a 4-4-2 with and AMR and AML set as sort of hybrids between wingers and inside forwards. One striker is a target man and the other is a poacher. Anyways, my current plan is to split time at AMR between Messi and Alexis Sanchez...

I'm doing a save as Man City and Balotelli is one of my important players. However, I am about to begin the 5th season, and Balotelli really hasn't improved that much from where he started. His teamwork and balance have gone up 2 points, and his agility and acceleration have gone up 1 point...

I'm in a Man City save in which I am about to begin the 5th season. My team is about as good as I can possibly make it, with 2 world class players at each position. Since my team is so young, I will still have a starting 11 of all world class players in their primes 5-6 years from now, which...

I can't help but share this. I recently made a thread describing a Man City team I have where I have two world class players at every position. This team is very very good, and had managed to go the season undefeated going into the Champions League final. I had a good amount of tough matches...

So I've been playing a game as Manchester City. As most anyone knows, you get ridiculous transfer budgets as Man City, allowing you to buy up a load of talent. I would just like to show my ridiculous example of this. I am currently beginning the 2013/2014 season of a Man City game and after the...

Obviously a player's potential ability is given by their PA. However, as far as I know, PA only in some way measures how much in total stats a player can have. Thus, not all PAs are created equal. For instance, if you have two strikers and one has a bunch of his limited points in tackling...

I started a game as Man City (it really is amusing to play with almost unlimited money) and my first move before the season began was to buy the following players: Aaron Ramsey, Miralem Pjanic, Paulo Henrique, and Moussa Sissoko. I know that Pjanic and Henrique develop into possibly the best...

Okay so I am a year into a game as Manchester City. My goal has been to use the ridiculous money that Man City throws at you in order to buy a bunch of really great young players that will eventually give me a team full of superstars. Anyways, I am about to start the second season. I still...

I started a rather interesting game recently, and the results have actually been startlingly good and very fun. I began the game as Manchester City, but only intended to play for one season. My goal was to create the best team I could solely with transfers, but not caring about the future. This...
