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...

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?

On player profile screens, the Reports box has stopped showing for no apparant reason and has been replaced by a generic Player Status screen.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...

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?

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...

Why am I restricted in the amount of wages I can offer a player even when my wage budget is much higher than what I'm attempting? Even when I free up wages by selling other players, the amount I can offer remains unchanged. I have over £5k p/w free in my wage budget, yet I can't offer this...

Hello people. I'm here with a request. My attempts at playing Football Manager are always fleeting. Playing the game to me is like putting me in the pilot's seat of a jet airliner; perfectly fine if someone sets the controls and just lets me cruise, but the minute anything goes wrong there's no...

First ... please try and not dismiss what I'm asking for on the grounds that I'm a pariah, as I get the feeling that footballing casuals are not viewed in the best light in the FM community (forgive me if this is unfair, that's just the impression I've received). I try to get into Football...

I was hoping for some recommendations of good players to sign for a League 2 side ... all the guides and posts I've found seem to be out of date. I'm managing Wycombe Wanderers and want some good new faces. Any pro tips?

I started a game as Arsenal, but some of my players are suspended for one international match. I understand that ... but why does this mean I can't play them in any game at all until the season starts, including reserve games and friendlies against non-international teams? They're suspended...

I've tried getting into Football Manager several times over the years. I really would like to play, but every time I get frustrated at one thing: the inaccessibility. Losing and not having a clue why you're losing is the most off-putting thing in any game. I don't know squat about football...
