    What Team Should I be? - FM 2014

    Hoffenheim? To my knowledge they haven't won anything major of note (obviously bossed the german lower divs a few years back). Think they are in a slight transition phase atm anyway so a chance to stamp your managerial style on them for sure

    What Team Should I be? - FM 2014

    Haven't seen the team I'm playing at the moment recommended anywhere, so here goes: Atromitos Athens. Unlike most clubs in Greece, they aren't in terrible financial dire straights, although don't start with much money (I've only bought my second player after 5 years). They have a very good...

    Bilbao-esque

    I want to do this with Aviron Bayonnais and turn them into the Athletic of France (Bayonne is a city in the French Basque Country). Had a look in the editor and Bilbao don't have any special transfer rules changed in there, I think it might just be scripted specifically for Bilbao. I think...

    Help defending with a high line

    Thank you so much I thought I just had a dodgy version, I'll sort that out now :)

    Serie A lower league side

    The jump from Serie B to Serie A is huge, much more so than, say, Championship to Premier League. I tried to play a 4-2-3-1 when I got promoted with San Marino, ended up getting relegated on the last day and I lost my job. It's a difficult one, because you WILL concede lots and lots of goals in...

    Help defending with a high line

    Hello all, So I'm entering my 4th season with Atromitos Athens, and have from the very beginning been trying to push a very direct, attacking brand of football onto my side. In recent seasons, this has manifested itself into a very Juve/Conte style tactic (3-5-2). Although this has worked very...

    Help with editing youth regens

    Yeah I mean in the editor though - meaning I'd like Cypriot regens but ones that aren't solely Greek Cypriot (which they are at the moment) but that there are also some Turkish Cypriot ones (not Turkish regens). For example, that APOEL would have some regens called Papaioannou, Savvidis...

    Help with editing youth regens

    So I'm working on making a united Cyprus database, whereby clubs from both sides of the border are now playing with each other in the same leagues and the refugee clubs have been moved back to their original cities (i.e. Anorthosi have now returned to Famağusta). Anyway I had a thought that all...

    Some help avoiding relegation, I can't really tell what's wrong with my tactic

    Hi guys, So just a bit of background, I'm reaching the business end of the 2019-2020 season and my first season in Serie A (in the San Marino Challenge). The Serie A in my save is a ridiculously strong league, now better than La Liga and pushing the Prem for top spot in Europe. So, in my...

    Any really obvious issues with this tactic?

    Am I missing something here? Here's another example of this great match engine we have. Dominated them. They score from 2 corners, a penalty and a free kick to win it with the last kick of the game. This is getting silly. Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here because clearly I...

    Any really obvious issues with this tactic?

    Right I give up this is getting ridiculous. I implemented some of your suggestion (changed to standard fluidity, took away hassle opponents shout), and got a solid and deserved 2-0 win away at Ajax CT. Go into a home match next, with the new and improved tactic, go 1-0 up. Everything looking...

    Any really obvious issues with this tactic?

    Generally not because I always think I'm just asking them to score if I change to counter/defensive at half time. We are normally leading at half time and then get battered in the 2nd half. Yeah I was thinking that, not sure if standing off opponents would just encourage them onto me though and...

    Any really obvious issues with this tactic?

    My latest loss, I just do not have a clue. 3 shots on target and they score 3. They were bottom of the league as well.

    Any really obvious issues with this tactic?

    Consistently losing despite generally controlling games, making chances and scoring goals. We are almost always (apart from against the big teams) the better team in a game, but keep having 2/3-goal collapses or conceding like 2 in the last 10 mins. We are atrocious defensively, so I'm looking...
