I remember playing as Chelmsford City in FM2010, a mistake leading to a goal was like a serious injury. He'd have to be subbed immediately and sit out a few weeks or else he'd be guaranteed to start playing as an opposing striker.

I've found that Son and Chadli are the only two Spurs players who can take penalties at all. The rest of them, you might as well pick a fan from the stands. Lamela looks like the top guy on paper, but in two separate saves (computer death), he managed to convert about one in four.

Yes there is; you just have to be careful how you answer questions in press conferences. Jose Mourinho is fairly easy to manipulate; if he's on a good run you can make him (and his squad) complacent by praising them, and if he has a poor record against you you can needle him and get him to whip...

I remember reading that the size of the town affects the size of the crowd. If that's right (I have no idea whether it is), it may be that there just aren't enough people in Mansfield to fill the stadium. I imagine a club in that situation would just issue more away tickets though. Sent from my...

Zach Clough should be a good false nine. For the centre mid, maybe Mousa Dembele? I use him as a box to box/RPM, but he's strong and versatile, and he can dribble. He can't shoot though. And he's 29 or 30 at the end of the second season. And a bit injury prone in my experience. Sent from my...

Fifth season. I won the CL in the third season, Alli left then I won the PL in the fourth. Every other season we came third and to the semi-finals or final of the CL. And got knocked out of almost every other cup quick snap. Usually by Newcastle. Sent from my SC-05G using Tapatalk

I use Chadli as an AML(winger, support), Eriksen as an AMC(ap, attack) and Barbosa as an AMR(if, attack). Embolo goes up top, usually as a false 9 (I stupidly sold Kane). Barbosa and Embolo can swap if I want a winger more than an IF, and Lamela provides good cover in all the AM roles. Alli can...

I don't possess incredible tactical knowledge, but something I've gleaned from this forum is that BWM, while sounding like a staunch and noble defensive role, doesn't really work out like that. Unlike, say, an anchorman, who maintains his position and shields the defence, a BWM is going to hare...

I'm finding Barbosa and Nacer Chadli combine to slap them in on the regular, especially with a false nine in between them. My front three generally get a good 15-20 goals per season each barring injury. Sent from my SC-05G using Tapatalk

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? When I use my 4123DM formation, the striker and right central midfielder switch positions at every single break in play. Even when subbing in a new forward, the midfielder moves into the striker position and the forward plays in midfield. The...

I can't upload pictures for some reason, but the formation is: GK(gk-d) LB(fb-a) CBL(bpd-d) CBR(ld-d) RB(fb-a) DM(a-d) CML(bbm-s) CMR(dlp-d) AML(w-s) AMR(if-a) STC(cf-a) Mentality: Standard Shape: Structured Instructions: Look for overlap, stick to positions PIs: None Nobody is...

I use a 4-1-2-2-1DM tactic on occasion, but I'm finding that my STC and MCR are continually swapping positions for no reason I can divine. They haven't been instructed to do so, and when I look at their player instructions I set them to swap with nobody just to be sure. Yet at some point in the...

I sold him for 50m and I'm still having trouble finding a decent replacement in my third season. I mean, I've been 3rd in the league three times and won the CL last season so it's not urgent, but good strikers are super expensive and good homegrown players are hard to come by. Man Utd don't want...
