Does anyone have a tactic where you sit deep and park the bus? I have tried, but nearly always concede early on.

I don’t think I gave away a penalty all season…

I’m really struggling to get on with FM19 Touch. The first part of the season was going amazingly, but I didn’t really know why. Then all of a sudden I can’t get a win, and I don’t know what I can do. It doesn’t matter what I tell my team, they don’t seem to listen, even when I put it on be more...

I’m playing Touch, you can’t view full match. My point is how I can I see where I’m going wrong if it’s not showing my team with the ball?

I have been playing in comprehensive view, but have had some games where it barely shows any of my team with the ball, even though I’ve had 65% of the ball. It’s very hard to work out how my team are playing.

I tried playing a strikerless formation against Arsenal and was amazed by the amount of possession I had and how many chances I created. But my defence was poor and the game finished 3-3. The one thing that kept happening was my Advanced Playmaker kept making great runs through the middle on...

Nearly every time I turn my iPad off I have to reload FM17 Touch. Does anyone know how I can stop it?

I have adapted my tactics and am now creating more chances. I now play with 2 holding midfielders, sometimes one as a DLP, and let the fullbacks get forward. If play with wingers I instruct the fullbacks to cut inside, with IF run wide. Generally I have a Complete Forward, but if things aren't...

I didn't buy him, I started my own team.

I don't want to sell him, but he wants to leave.

I have just finished my second season with Spurs. Dybala was Europes top scorer with 33 goals in 33 games. He now wants to leave for Man City. He's 25, still has 4 years on his contract, and it valued at £53m. How much do you think I can sell him for? I'm thinking £150 - £200m. The highest offer...

I’d love to have a player like Frank Lampard in my team. Can anyone recommend a box to box midfielder who arrives late into the box and score goals?

Thank you. I know most of this, but I never considered pumping ball into box or going route one. Basically I play a bit like Barcelona. Mainly short passing, but you know they can play through ball, or balls over the top. I quite often get caught out with balls over the top against average...

I’ve always struggled with playing through balls over the top. I have top players with great passing, creativity, decision making etc stats. I’ve tried more direct passing, into space etc, but the creative players always seem to hold onto the ball and play a short pass. Any advice?

What’s going on with players ignoring the ball? Usually when defending a corner, the ball is cleared and the player told to stay forward ignores the ball to get back into their position. I conceded a goal in one game because of this bug.
