I've started a career with Barnet in nPower League 2. The squad is decent enough, but about 10-11 players have contracts that expire in June, 2012, most of them very important players. I've tried renewing with several of them, but everyone wants insane increases. The average is an increase of...

I am looking to download the real logos for competitions and clubs/nations, but is there a megapack with all bunled into one download? I know that I can download the ones here on the forum, but it is a bit of a hassle going through all 10-15 different packs. I've allready gotten the realname...

I've seen several people here who have gotten a new stadium. I'm just wondering how the name of the new stadium is generated by the game? Does it make up a "proper" name like Old Trafford, Fratton Park, Britannia Stadium and so on, or will the new name simply be Liverpool Stadium, Manchester...

I came to think of a situation I encountered while playing FM 2010; I started with Barnet and after several seasons I got promoted to the Premier League. A few years later they had become a regular team in the top 6. I got a bit bored and went to Juventus because the position was vacant. After...

Hi. I'm having a bit of a problem with my backup goalkeeper. Since he isn't as good as my goalkeeper in the starting XI he sits on the bench usually. After a while he got upset and demanded to play some matches. I say sure and let him start a couple of games. In 3 games he conceeds 8 goals...

I'm currently in my second season and my finances have taken a turn for the worse. Last year I payed a total of 19 million NOK in taxes, but so far this year I've payed 22 million NOK and I'm just 10 games in. Because I won the double last year my clubs value went from 120 mill. to 184 mill...

I'm now in my second season and suddenly my finances have taken a turn for the worse. Last year I didn't see red once and I got a good result every month, usually having a surplus of about 1-3 million NOK. Unfortunately, this season I'm suddenly losing money every month. My main expense is...

I have a few scouts roaming the world to find new players and from time to time I get a real jewel on my hands. Today I had one of those moments! This is a description of the player he found: - He is from Argentina - He's 24 years old - Midfielder - Currently plays in Spain - I should do...

During my last 7-8 matches my defenders (my entire team, really) is simply refusing to close down players. My last game is a perfect example; I tell my defenders to close down the oppositions striker (they were playing 4-5-1), takle him hard, etc. During the match he scored 3 goals because...

I had a pretty good first season with my club and I've decided to plan ahead. Therefor I asked the board if they would be willing to improve the youth facilities. Now, that was in November and I'm now in May, still no word from them. Does anyone know how long I might have to wait?

I haven't had Mario Balotelli in my squad since I don't play with the major teams, but my impression is that he wrecks havoc on every squad he is in. When reading some of the posts here it seems like there's no way of keeping the spoiled brat happy. Is this the case? :)

There's one thing that I just can't stand with FM and thats the perpetual ball watching. I don't mean the type you might expect during a match, but players simply standing still and not doing anything while the ball slowly rolls besides them. They don't start moving untill the opposition has...

Hi. I wish to know your oppinions regarding possession football. Short passes, moving the ball around the oppositions half, looking for a gap in the defence and so on. Also, if you use this style, what are your settings for the team? Because I come from Norway, I'm "programmed" to love long...

I've noticed that if you are ahead by one goal then in about the 80th minute the opponent throws caution to the wind and playes 4-2-4. As good as every time. My problem isn't really defending against this, but what gets to me is that 1/3 of the times this happens I end up with a draw. The...

I'm in my second season with Vålerenga and last year I won the double and got to the group stages in the Europa League. I ended the season with a record of 26-3-1, which included a 16-game winning streak. The one game that I lost was the first one of the season. I went through the entire...
