Just wanted to update this one last time. I'm now using the 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond about 80-90% of the time with amazing results. The only time I don't use this formation is if the opponent is throwing a 4-5-1 V at me. I didn't want to use the narrow diamond before because it lacked width and...

Thanks for the reply! It's strange how nobody else has ran into this issue. I submitted a thread on the SI bug forums so hopefully they provide some kind of help

Update: My staff page still only shows about 7 physios. However, when I search for staff and sort by club, it shows that my team has about 30 physios. I'm guessing they're still taking their salaries as well...sigh. And now all my strikers are injured which means they must not actually be...

Yeah, hopefully they patch it up or FM2015 will be an improvement. Still a great game with great depth. Too easy to get addicted to for sure.

I'm actually a basketball junkie but I love stats like these. Fun and interesting.

Hah, the sad thing is I have the highest rated goalkeeper and striker in the EPL overall. It seems I'm not using them correctly though. Striker has 17 finishing, dribbling, composure, flair, off the ball, and acceleration. 16 first touch, technique, work rate and agility. 15 anticipation and...

The opposition usually get their chances through a botched coverage in the middle for me actually. I assume this is because I'm pushed higher up the field, but I thought that was the positioning that made the most sense in an attacking formation like 4-2-3-1. By botched coverage, I mean it's...

And again, playing Watford. 10 shots, 7 on target, 2 off target, 3 clear cut chances. Watford has 2 shots, 2 on target, 2 clear cut chances. Score is 2-0 Watford. RARHRAYGJARRJAGHARGHARGH. I'm getting plenty of looks, even more clear cut chances, but the quality of the looks seems to be...

Slight improvement, but still pretty frustrating. For context, I generally use 4-2-3-1 against weaker opponents who use 4-4-2 (maybe that's the issue since 4-5-1 V is supposedly better and among my tactics). I try to use the most attacking tactic I have which would be this, although I have the...

It was the year 2020. Middlesbrough had just come off a Champions Cup Qualifying season in the English Premier League and, upon their recent success, decided to stock up on physios; nobody likes a squad of injured players. Prior to hiring physios, Boro had 13 "other staff" for their senior team...

My DR has dribbling and crossing of 10 and under so I don't think I should change him to an attacking or support role. However, I did change the AML to W-A and the MCR to CM-A. The MCR change seemed to have a huge impact as he assisted twice to my striker in the final third. Not sure if this...

Hey guys, I'm playing as Middlesbrough in the EPL for the 2019/2020 season predicted to finish around 6th-10th in the league. I'm thoroughly addicted to this game (read: f*****) yet my command and understanding of tactics is pretty poor. I just played a game against Swansea and won 1-0...

Ah, I see. Thanks guys. I went a little overboard on signing young potential...I only have 3 players over the age of 23 and my squad's average age is 21 plus change hahah. I'll look into it once I have more suitable players of age though. So I take it having a development bar at half way isn't...

Hey guys, I'm playing as Middlesbrough in my 4th season (3rd in the EPL) and I'd like to know what's considered "good" player development. I'm referring specifically to the development bar on the coach report for a player. Although I have top training and youth facilities and the majority of my...

Perfect, thanks!
