I was wondering whether anyone has experienced some issues that sweeper keepers don't push up high enough/move out of their own box? Been running a tactic, with a very high defensive line and high press, where I've utilized a sweeper keeper on attack. However, they're never out of the box to...

Good stuff! Continued to play him as an inside forward on AMR during pre-season, but I also tried a new counter 4-4-2 where Lemar has played as a straight-out winger on ML and he pretty much done his job to perfection so far; skipping past a man or two before crossing. He's honestly turning out...

Pedro Pereira (Sampdoria), Victor Lindelöf (Benfica) and Nélson Semedo (Benfica). They have been excellent for me in different saves, and they're very versatile which is always a plus.

Play him as AMR (Inside Forward - Support) and occassionaly CM in my Southampton save. I think you would be better off playing him on the right wing to actually take advantage of his long shots and technique. He regularly scores from outside the box in my save. Playing a left footed player, on...

Yeah, was looking at Rode too but ended up managing to get in Fletcher and I brought in Kristoffer Ajer as well. And since Poyet played quite well in DM it looks like I've got that position covered for the years to come. Now I'm just checking if Arsenal is going to sell Jenkinson for a...

Club: West Ham Year: 2015 Money willing to spend: £10-15M Age: - Position: DL, DR, CB, GK and DM Finished 3rd in my first season, so will be playing Champions League as well. A good amount of players I need and with a small budget (at least these days). Need a backup DL for Cresswell, a...

I've had great success with defending deep and using pass into space i.e. in previous FM versions but that really depends on how good your team is - since you have to be able to keep your change and allow the opposition somewhat deep into your half and then intercept/tackle and win the ball back...

Made a West Ham game as my first save for this years FM and made two similar tactics that I was trying during the pre-season. Came across your tactic Akash and implemented a lot of your instructions from your first version and it's been working really well so far. Mostly been using Counter...

Trying out a few different ones in my Southampton and Manchester United save. I've been mostly testing out a flat 4-4-1-1, 4-4-2, 4-4-2 DM, 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3. Been going nice so far although and witnessed some nice football so far but haven't really found one that I really like the flow off...

As mentioned above; direct passing and set through balls to often (and crosses from deep if you like, try it out) and then be sure he learns PPMs; long range passes and try killer balls whenever possible. If you like you can combine that with dictates tempo and switches the play and you'll have...

Indeed. Having him loaned out to Lyon in the 2016-2017 season now, so it'll be interesting to see how much more he'll develop.

Name: Michel Araai Club: OM Nationalty: French Position: AMC/CM/ST Born: 29.4.1996 Start of the game SS: Future SS: Bought him in the 2014-15 season in my United save and he's currently spent all his time in the youth and reserves team. Had him tutored by Jack Wilshere which was a good...

This. Since a patch update a while ago injuries has simply been too much - when watching the results after each round in-game and seeing the amount of injuries nearly makes me depressed. That and heading - heading for pretty much every player. Players who are under no pressure and could easily...

There's been a few occasions for me where there are some personal issues with a player in-game and therefore his determination drops. If that is the case, you usually get a notification from one of your coaches about it. Other reasons can be mismatch tutoring, that the squad personality...

I've had him for 4-5 seasons in my Newcastle save (don't play on it anymore though) and he does develop quite nicely. His technical stats seem to reach their peak quite early and doesn't improve that much more, at least in my save, but his creativity, flair, off the ball and strength rocketed...
