Playing in England for the first time, so a little unsure about how reserves work. I have some players that are not regular first team players that I want to get time in the U21 squad. I make them available ongoing, but they never player. Other players that I make available do play. There...

I'm sorry if this a noobish question, as I'm coming from 13 when you were able to prepare and train 3 different tactics if you wanted to. Now it looks like I'm only able to prepare a single tactic in match training. Am I missing something?

I've been having a rather poor run this season. I am using the same tactics as the previous season, but with much better players, yet my team is really underperforming. So I tried to decide an experiment. I would save before a match, then play fully managing - using the tactics I would...

So I tend to scout big groups of players at once. This causes me, one year after, to get 80 emails in my inbox saying player removed from shortlist. I understand that I could add these players to my shortlist indefinitely, but I think this is a good system which requires me to rescout every so...

I'm playing as Las Palmas, recently promoted to La Liga. I have found that 'loan player' is not listed as an option under make an offer for any player, even if they are loan listed. Does anyone know why this is? Really frustrating since I'm a smaller team and getting some players on loan is...

I am very confused here: Just finished my first season with Wolves. As you can see, I finished 6th (passed Bolton on the last day!) My question is, why have I not qualified for the Europa League? Chelsea won the Carling Cup, and Bolton won the FA Cup. So shouldn't I get the other spot...

Basically, my question is what is the difference between zonal and man marking? More specifically, which tactic suits which strategies and players better, and when should one or the other be used on different opponents? I have experimented with both, and can't really figure out which is...

Why do it other than to use a lot of money? I can see upgrading the youth facilities maybe could lead to producing better players, but that has not happened in my experience. As far as training facilities go, does it do anything or is it as meaningful as your manager salary? On a completely...

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does accepting a pay raise as a manager do except for maybe make you feel good about yourself and maybe taking valuable funds away from your club?
