Hey all,
One of the things that bothers me most in FM is when it's 2018 and you can't recognize the starting lineups for any team anymore.
Is there a mod or something (I have zero tech knowledge so don't laugh!) that eliminates transfer budgets or severely reduces them? I'd call this the...
Is it just me or have goals just gotten uglier on this version of FM? it seems like there used to be more screamers, intense pass plays, etc. in the past. Even with big teams, my goals are just pretty much boring and terrible, even though I score lots of them!
Keep waiting. If you stick with your team and pull off incredible results you'll be managing a great English club.
I've only ever done journey man careers on FM and staying at your club until being approached is generally the only best way for ascension.
Hang in there haha. Every team drops points eventually, sometimes when you least expect them to. They'll have a period when they unravel for a bit, be sure to pounce when the time comes!
Started unemployed, with automatic or Sunday League experience, and start with an awful team and try to win the World Cup or Champions League in under 10 years.
I started once with Lausanne, then a semi-pro team in the Swiss second division and won the World Cup with Brazil 6 seasons later. You...
Me on "Automatic":
Coventry (nPower League 1, 1.5 seasons)-> West Ham (two months, resign) -> Borussia Monchengladbach (1 day, resign (squad was that bad)) ---------> Manchester United.
**** happens I guess.
So what do you do when you can't win away games for the life of you? I hate it when my team is a monster at home but then gets rocked away consistently...
Beat Atletico 4-1 in the friendly game. Stunned! Did not realize what I thought were motivational problems were tactical problems.
What do you guys use as back up tactics? I'm a fan of the 4-4-2 but I don't know what to make my third tactic.
OK, so team is already looking better. 45 minutes into a friendly cup v. Atletico, 1-1 (De Gea **** up and Evans equalizer).
1.) Young and Nani are making chances shooting from just outside the box, but aren't really creating play, and Hamsik is just distributing to them. How to I get them to...
Use players for those games that don't regularly play? I once took a youth player at striker and he was the only one who would perform against certain sides. I thought I'd use him as a one-off against a small team and then started using him against all opposition, despite his having one star at...
1.) Keeper red cards. Come on- they're important and should be a really easy fix. Tired of players running on to the ball with a huge time advantage and BOOM keeper slides out and magnetically captures the ball with his hands.
2.) Job application process. First off, you should be able to...
I remember I had ridiculous issues with Robben once- no passing, just took ridiculous pot shots. By restricting his long shots to none and telling him to cut inside he played a bit more intelligent.
This could also be totally wrong, but I've found putting players in the reserves to be a good...
Thanks, that's certainly very helpful. I've always been a fan of direct passing because it's one of the few things the Assistant suggests regularly. I guess the issue is I haven't trained short passing.
Understood on the defensive mid. Although some players on Advanced Playmaker have a tendency...
