    Formations that seem to always beat you.

    Just wondering as an interested question if anyone else out there finds that some formations you play against seem to always beat you regardless of who is playing it. It got to the point where I started replaying games - not in my actual save I hasten to add - just to see if my squad rotation...

    "Plays best as"

    I'm intrigued in the scouting reports where it suggests a player performs best as... for instance a "ball winning midfielder". Is this intrinsic in the game - for instance if I look at Jeff Hendrick it suggests he is best as a Box to Box midfielder - is there a noticable decline in performance...

    Ball Winning Midfielder

    Hi chaps, Im playing as Derby County - approaching the end of season 3 and looking good for top half/possibly top 4 finish. Given that my transfer budgets are modest compared to some prem teams (roughly 20 mill transfer and 400kpw wages) Im slowly building a team of up and comers if you will...

    Getting a work permit for a player

    I notice several folk on this forum recommend Darwin Quintero as a good - relatively cheep - signing as a striker. My problem is simple I negotiate with him he agrees then cant get a work permit - I was wondering how the game decides on the work permit, and those who have signed him for an...

    Sounkoura and Sounkoura up front?

    I already have Ahmed - got him on a free season 1, I got Derby promoted and see that Amadou Sounkoura (his brother I guess) is unhappy - my scouts seem to think he should be ashooin but has anyone tried a strike partnership of Sounkoura and Sounkoura and how does the game engines mind not explode :)

    Not sure if im missing it or not...

    Also not sure if its been brought up before - or whether theres a suggestions box the designers look at... Im beginning to get increasingly frustrated with the lack of a certain option when talking to players... Player comes with concern he isnt playing - I get the (effective) options: Ill...

    Burton Albion to the top

    Hey guys thought id throw my hat rather late into the lower league party and bring folk up to speed with the brewers push through the divisions... One season played so far achieving promotion from league 2 through the playoffs - despite a late season lull which coincided with most of my first...

    Is Majewski a Trequarista?

    Hey guys just a quicky regarding the trequarista, Im currently doing "not bad" with Derby, having led them to promotion in season 1 and nailed down "mid table mediocrity" in season 2. I've played basically the same 4411/442 formation with a playmaker in the hole since game 1 and with Artem...

    Right Strange Question but...

    Ok Ive got a rather odd question but its probably a simple answer and im being thick. Im just running through my staff and trying to change things for the better and starting with the youth team (as the first team staff are on silly contracts so cant get rid). If I sign a youth coach with...

Assistant thinks he could be a key player and i want to develop a training scheme to help that but dont really know what to do for him.

    Building a players tackling attributes

    Ok guys i've got a young (20) right back who is coming along well from the youth team with good stamina and work rate etc but his marking and tackling are ****.
