I bought FM on the day it was released and have tried a few new games since then. Every time my laptop has had a 4.5 star game speed rating with England loaded as playable on a large database and other nations loaded as view only. I tried to start a new game this morning, with the exact same...

I can pick this young player up for £9.5 million: View image: Luca Paone Overview Profile His mental stats are pretty good for a 17 year old, but his passing isn't great and the fee is fairly steep. I've got £45 million to spend, but that's pretty much my entire bank balance. What do we reckon?

I'll keep playing around and see what happens. I'm only playing FM Touch. I thought the whole point of this version was that it didn't require hours and hours of tactical analysis!

To be honest I don't really have a preference on how my team plays. I just want something that's effective. The reason I have three playmakers is because they're three of my best players and their best roles are as playmakers. If i alter their roles they don't play great. So now I'm thinking I...

Would you suggest a more direct approach? I've tried various different roles for my three attacking midfielders but I can't get them firing. I think my issue might be that I can't get the best out of my three advanced midfielders, which ultimately means my team never performs to their...

For example, I recently went on a decent run, culminating with a 4-0 defeat of Barcelona. In the following 6 games I only win once, including a two draws and a defeat at home to West Ham, Villa and Swansea. I get that teams go through dips in form in real life, but this happens consistently...

I'm currently in 2021 as Burnley, playing my first season in the Champions League. I've done OK so far, but given the players I've got I should be doing better. If I'm totally honest, I only qualified for the Champions League because the other teams around me were so bad.

I'm struggling for consistency on FM 16. My form varies wildly every few games. I cannot get a good run going for the life of me.

Jorge for LB turns into a beast

Try changing one to an attacking midfielder so you have someone making runs into the box to support your AF?

Firstly I'll start with an apology. For some reason the forum has deemed my initial post to be too long, so I'm going to post it in instalments. Here goes...

Will do. Thanks for all your help.

I don't expect to walk every game, but I just can't spot any patterns with my results, so I don't know what to rectify. I'll try splitting my post up and doing it a bit at a time, thanks. The only other issue is that I can't seem to post links either, so I can't post the links to images of...

Yeah I get that. I'm just a little frustrated because I'm desperately lacking consistency. I was going to start a new thread asking for advice but for some reason the forum thinks my OP is too long so I can't.
