    The Annihilator

    The Formation A 5-3-2 with attacking full backs, two attack minded centre mids and a deep lying playmaker to link defence to midfield with a false 9 and advanced forward upfront. The Philosophy Simple...attack! By holding a high defensive line, little space is given to the opposition...

    Hey Guys, Playing as Man Utd and finally seem to have got my formations right (playing 5 3 1 1 which is 3cbs, 2 wbs, 3 cms, 1 amc & 1 st).

    Using the media to gain an advantage: Boring and tedious or essential?

    Hey guys, Currently sitting in 6th place with Blackburn after 8 games.....15 goals for and 12 against.

    12 scouts......how to set up a good scouting network?

    Hi guys, Just wanted to know the best and most efficient way of setting up a scouting network with scouts? I usually have one scout on each region but this probably isn't the best way to do it surely? Any suggestions or websites that have information on this? Is it best to concentrate on...
