You seem to think that this game is like real life. It isn't. Even real football coaches wouldn't get success in this game.

I'm playing as Wycombe Wanderers, been managing them since the start of the game and I'm in 2017 now. Every time I ask the board to increase the scouting range (currently UK & Ireland only) I get told I haven't been with the club very long and should make do with what I have. Is this a bug...

I appreciate the help, but not really changing anything. My midfielders spend frickin' ages doing nothing but knocking it about amongst themselves until either one of them tries to take a long shot or they give the ball up. My striker may as well not be involved at all for all he gets hold of...

Just so I'm clear, you're suggesting replacing the AP with a DLP, as opposed to having both? Which of my central midfields would have an attack duty then? I surely can't have just my striker and one of my wingers with an attack duty?

Managing Wycombe, made the step up from League 1 to Championship ... and now I'm getting completely and totally destroyed, every single game. A lot of the time I get decent possession, but hardly any shots on target. They just take long shots. Instructing them not to doesn't seem to help any...

Hey, just started a game with Wycombe Wanderers, and I can tell my formation isn't going quite right. I have a slow defence but some ok-pace wingers and forwards, so I'm trying a 4-2-3-1 Deep. At the moment I'm stopping the opposition from getting too many goals, but my goalscoring...

When I become an international manager in addition to managing my club, it messes up my knowledge of player stats ... a lot of player stats are completely blank, and scouting them only shows up partial stats. Can anyone explain why this is, please? Is this a bug?

Really? Nobody knows? I think it might have something to do with managing both a club and a national side at the same time, but I don't know, and there's nowhere else I can find help. Some help would be appreciated.

On player profile screens, the Reports box has stopped showing for no apparant reason and has been replaced by a generic Player Status screen. I can still access reports by going to the Reports tab at the top, but I can't switch this Player Status screen back to Reports. And that's very...

I appreciate the examples, but I'm not as experienced as you are and some of how those tactics are meant to work confuses me. I thought the idea of a counter-attacking strategy was when you win back the ball in your half, to get the ball quickly up the other end, especially to the wingers who...

Look, I may be new at this whole mullarkey, but I'm doing my best here to make a post with the information. I would appreciate some form of help, or at the very least a post saying "We need this information before we can help you". Getting no replies when I'm floundering over here is quite...

Fair enough. That's how it currently is, though a lot of it is probably crazy stuff I've been trying to make it work.

What's a good tactic to use when you're an underdog, such as a newly promoted team or playing in a cup against stronger opposition? I've tried creating counter-attacking strategies but they just don't work. What's the trick?

Nobody has any advice on the matter? :(

I can't make a counter-attacking strategy work. No matter what I try, no matter how much stuff I read on how it should work, it just doesn't. Got a deep 4-2-3-1, fast wingers, got it set up to counter, direct game, narrow, fast tempo ... nothing I try makes it anything better than pathetic. My...
