    What would you do with this youngster?

    So I got a good youngster from last year's selection. He is technically gifted, but lacks the speed required in the Premier League (we got promoted). I even gave him plenty of Championship matches throughout the season, and he was quite good. I consider him and train him as DLF (S). He spent a...

    Hey again! In my first season I was playing with Bianco being 'redish' as a Complete Forward (till he learned the role) yet he performed nicely. The striker is the only player I am patient with and don't make changes at all - always leaving him as Complete Forward (Attack). Of course there will...

    Hey peterbolam78 thanks for the nice report. :) The striker is supposed to be isolated forcing the opposition central defenders staying back with his runs. That's why I always leave him with an Attack role. With the 'Move into channels' instruction (provided he has decent technical skills) he...

    Hey peterbolam78 you did right as most of the times I do this too. I just don't do it straight away so that I allow quick counter transitions to be executed especially against stronger oppositions. If I see bad finishing moves then I switch to it - my assistant manager also points that out 9/10...

    New season just started and spent so much time to find new players! First match was a tough one against Olympique Lyonnais at home. I started with my defensive tweak [AP (A ) ---> CM (D)] and soon we were leading 1-0. But on the 20' one of our central defenders makes a reckless tackling (a bad...

    Just a quick update as the end of season came. Despite having the chance to fight for the 5th position which offered a EURO CUP qualification we failed against RC Lens at home loosing with 1-0. Last game was away at PSG a team which is above all others still we lost with a 1-0 score and played...

    Some more action in this game, I had to face Girondins de Bordeaux at home who were the clear favorites. Having played and lost against them but also missing my best defender Alonso I decided to follow a safer approach for this one. What I did was: Put the AP (A) to a CM(D) role so that I...

    Hope you enjoy it. Thanks! If you mean OIs I have an Assistant Manager with 17 Tactical Knowledge so I let him choose OIs before the match.

    The Manchester United Thread

    I don't think Alex Ferguson's ManU lacked money still discovered CR7 and bought him for ...19m. For 105m I would expect a world class player which Pogba is clearly not. I prefer to see things as is and quite sadly Liverpool is more attractive and compact as a team this year while having inferior...

    Hello FM-base!

    True neither I could go back there but emulators are the latest trend. (H) I still enjoy some CM01/02 seasons from time to time tho.

    The Manchester United Thread

    Pogba was an overrated transfer IMO with that amount of money we could have bought 3 very good players. In general I really miss the Alex Ferguson era where unknown players were turned into great ones. I also miss the team spirit something absent in current ManU team.

    Hello FM-base!

    Thanks for the warm welcome, for those still playing CM1 and CM2 a 3-5-2 with all the 5 midfielders in a straight line is the most dominant formation. Cheers. (H)

    Is FM2017 worth letting FM2016 go?

    Hello, I am still playing FM2016 and really enjoying it but I was wondering if it is time to go for the latest version. I read they implemented social networks for which I don't care that much and improved the players' movement but can't see any other major difference (apart from the database...
