Needed some suggestions for players so I thought why not start of a recommendation thread. What quality players have you found in your save? Wondrous wingers who can bend it like Beckham; Amazing defenders who read the game superbly and make inch perfect tackles; Explosive inside forwards...

Meet Humam Tariq (dubbed the Iraqi Messi) Developing well. My captain, my initial inspiration for my Leipzig save. The man I believed could carry my team to continental glory and break the Top 2 Stranglehold in the Bundesliga. Has shown flashes of brilliance in his debut season at the Red...

Hi there, playing as West Ham and I keep getting trounced by the big teams. I know there will be a big gulf in quality between West Ham and teams such as Man United, Arsenal etc. But my team just doesn't seem to turn up. I always play down my chances against them in press conferences so it...

Playing How I Want? Is It Possible? Background/Philosophy/What I want? Really enjoying FM15 and all it's features and quirks. But what I really want to do is play how I want. I'm wondering if that is possible in this installation in the series. For that purpose I have started as West Ham (I...

Is anyone else experiencing a large influx of wonder goals being scored for and against them? I seem to have like 3 every match, loads off the underside of the crossbar (Enner Valencia Style) and loads and loads of screamers that go top bins. I must say that the goalie animations make...

It's between Tielemans and Hughes Which one is better?

One of the teachings I have received in the real world about football is playing as a team often wins you games. When a team understands each other and truly plays together, then the final product is essentially beautiful football. I want to implement this into the game but I am not sure how...

Everytime I play a team like Blackburn, Hull, Southampton etc. I lose. Their strikers are ridiculously prolific no matter how badly I ask my team to tackle him or close him down. They just seem to score freely and embarrass my defence that are by no means slow. I'm talking about strikers like...

Just done the first season with West Brom, predicted to finish just above the relegations spots but managed to defy all odds and held a good 5th position for the majority of the season before finish a good 9th, faltering in the latter stages of the season. To my bemusement, a lot of players...

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Everytime I try my own tactic, it just fails. I follow all the guides but to no avail. The team just decides to do what it wants instead of playing how I want them to play. It doesn't make any sense. All I have wanted is to make my own tactic and win some...

Just a thread about telling us about your best player ever on Football Manager 2014. Your best player ever should be the guy that you hold in high regard. He may have cost a fortune or he may have been picked up on loan or on the cheap but he is the player who has shown time and time again why...

Every time I face the top 4 or the big teams in Europe, my team just seems to crumble and forgot basic instructions. I am trying to play attractive football (hate the style of football BFS makes us play IRL) so I can understand it can backfire sometimes but this happens season after season. I...

Hi, currently playing as West Ham in my 3rd season and need some suggestions and advice on how to improve my tactic or a recommendation of another tactic I can plug and play. We are sitting in about 6th. We are winning occasionally however we lose and draw quite a few games that we should be...

Well, I've had him for a few seasons and clubs are beginning to peak interest. I got him on a free and the clubs are bidding around 7 mil plus add-ons. He hasn't been entirely great due to my preference of playing Andy Carroll and recently Benzia in the defensive forward role. This season I'm...

Hi there, been playing on my West Ham Save and I'm having a bit of trouble getting good results home and away. We always seem to concede and not quite recover which has led us to a bad run of form and I'm having a bit of difficulty picking the players up even though I use Raikan's team talk...
