    Editor question/help... Is this possible?

    Is it possible to re-structure international competitions in the database editor and merge nations?? What I'd like: ~64 "nations", setup into a 3-tier league, 20/20/24 teams, that compete over the course of 3 years, leading up to a World Cup in the 4th year, which is a 32 team tournament...

    Best way to structure a front 3 that will need to do a lot on their own???

    Any teams lend themselves to a 442?

    I've got a squad rotation idea in mind that would work great with a 442, and after playing out a few seasons and settling on a 442 tactic, with Juve to get the hang of the game I'm looking for a bit more of a fight- Juve was an easy place for success...<br><br>But many squads seem to lack...
