So I'm head-hunting some young talent. I have targeted <18 year old's to bring up in my youth system. Now I have hit some snags with some of these guys. The ones in counties that need work permits wont transfer till their 18. Is that normal? And is there a way around that? I have a feeder...

I understand coaches have a CA and PA as well, but do they need to be coaching to actually develop? For example, if you want someone to develop into good *** Mans, should you put them in charge of youth or reserve teams? Or can they develop just from training alone? Also while on this point...

What I mean by that, is that I noticed a change of play in my team. My 1st season, I mainly used a direct, counter attacking tactic, so I would get the ball quickly up the field. My second season, I added a possession tactic mostly due to my upgrade in skill and actually have the talent to...

Thanks to Wayne Rooney I know about the rule that lets 3 players over 23 play but they fielded him anyway. ********... P.S. I was owning the first half, then in the 2nd they put Rooney, Walcott, and Ramsey in. Game over after that.

So I was wondering about this because I had a friend who told me he is in his 3rd season with Bayern and he just got this years game 2 weeks ago. I've maybe gone through 5 seasons in all my saves and I got the game on day one. I have around 180 hours played so I do a season every 36 hours. I...

This isn't the first time I've had this many injuries in one game. It happens in all my saves, I'll be relativity injury free, then one day I'll get a game like this or there will be a long term injury for 5 games straight. Anyone see this going on in there game?

... Me, #1 on the table by nearly 20 points, vs #17 on the table. The pre-game thought I should be worried about complacency I was such high favorites. I rested 10 of my starters because I have an important cup match after this. The only starter I played was my GK. I expected a bad game but...

So I have worked Burton Albion into the Premier League. After my first season where I had Lenny on a full year loan, I picked him up. While I knew how off some of his shots were, I figured he would still be a great addition to my team. Looking at his stats, you would think he would be pretty...

I apologize for the wall of text beforehand, but I thought some background was needed. Hi all, this is my first FM game and I'm hooked. I'm really starting to understand most of the concepts but there are a lot of things about my own tactics that seem to not work like some of the ones I...
