    Reasons to not train "Complete Forward" ?

    Of course you can train youngsters as a CF tho once they reach 21 they'll want a shot at the first team. Chances are they are fairly poor at everything and good at nothing. If they however were to train as a poacher then they'll probably be very good scoring machines at 21. If you then swich to...

    Negotiating contracts. Taking down demands.

    What I would like to know is how to make players stop asking for insane contracts when nearing the end of their career. Had those problems with both ?zil and Giroud. Giroud was 31, wanted to give him a 2 year extension and he wanted to stay at the club, but he wouldnt accept anything less than 4...

    Trouble Scoring.

    I always look at "Short passing" as "pass to feet" or "low passes". Good for posession tactics, and can be used with any tempo. When it comes to scoring from anything other than set-pieces I find the players form and mental state equally important as any tactic if not more so. Form to me is...

    How many games are considered first team football?

    Most often its players around 19-21 with cheap contracts who complain. A 25+ player with 100k p/w and no ambition wont care if hes on the bench every game. Bought Lamela for 55m, 200k contract, played well the first two seasons. Now he is just terrible even for the reserves, he just dont care...

    Biggest bid on your players?

    Sold both Ox and Walcott for insane sums, had enough to import an entire new Arsenal with high pot regens. Think it was 64M for both players. Now they are benchwarmers for Chelsea and ManU. Sure, they are nice players to have. But nowhere near as good as the young regens I bought who are now...

    Help getting better youth players

    Get your youth recruitment and coaching up, get as many scouts as possible, ask for feeder clubs as often as possible and just wait. Took me a couple of years before I got some nice talent. Still no Messis.. but with 28 scouts working if there is one out there I'll find him.

    Player consistency

    I have noticed some changes with tutoring. If you use a solid striker to tutor a younger one they tend to become quite solid players. But I feel consistency can be quite hard to determine as there is so many hidden attributes affecting their form. Their adaptability, consistency, mental state...

    How do i stop this

    I dont have a problem with the game figuring out your tactics. If someone like Mourinho were to counter my tactic then fine. But firstly it doesnt matter what team and which manager defeats you. Your tactic aint even countered its just the game deciding its time to lose. Youve had your fun...

    How do i stop this

    Its the game keeping you from using that one dominating tactic. I recently created one where I was completely dominating every single game and I was super proud. Opposition was lucky to even get a shot off. Even teams like Chelsea barely got 3 on target. But then came Newcastle who sits at the...

    Why can't I score goals??

    I've noticed a lot more success with a bit more rigid setup up top. Try to limit your offensive players responsibilities. Imo strikers should not be creators. They should find space and score goals and my amc should only find the killer passes. The big/small partnership still works but I prefer...

    Training specific attributes

    His determination is 18 so no problem there. He currently only playing as a sub. Used him as a starter for 4 easy games so far, only plays as lwb. Tho since he is gaining attributes fast the amount of games cant be the problem either. Id say he has developed about 60% of his max potential. With...
