I did yes. I am finding it incredibly helpful once I digest the terminology and also how the advice play out in practice. For example it states in "Opposition Instructions" Once I understand how an instruction affects both my players and the opposition and when it is best to use it and when it...

I have never used that. Don't see the point. It like a manager being in charge of two opposing teams. What does that do? Anyway I have been sacked so I can put Charlton Athletic behind me. I have just been appointed Bromley manager. It is a low-risk club. If I still am finding myself failing as...

Lost the Leeds game 12-1. Oh, well. never mind. There is always the next game. Plus I am trying which is the least expected of us. And I am learning. I took both your advice. I turned of the sliders in the Specific Instructions in the Team Instructions as you requested Jac4121993 and I used...

Is there anything wrong though you can see with my training and/or tactics?

I could be one game away form losing my job. I hope you can get all of these screenshots but this is what I work with... Can anyone see where I am going wrong? Am I giving the players too much to do? I don't want to overwork them. That is counter productive.

A bad result against my next opponents Leeds could see me sacked. Can anyone make head or tail of my set-up? Hope you can make everything out.

No idea what tactics I am using. In the Team Instructions is is mainly a fluid style with a control strategy. But that is not fixed and can change at any time during the game. The playing style elements are all set to default so that the player settings come into play. In the Specific...

Harsh.

Know how the OP feels. Looks like the Charlton board are finally running out of patience with me after 11 games in charge winning 1, drawing 5 and losing 5. A bad game against Leeds next week could see me sacked. The problem with all FM versions is that whilst the capabilities change the myriad...

Well I did what I wanted to do and that was have the team tactics set to default and use the player settings and I end up beating Watford 3-1 to record my first win of the season. I am overjoyed at the result. I was 3-0 up by 25mins.

I manage Charlton Athletic so I have players like Leon Court, Yann Kermongant, Salim Kerkar, Danny Haynes, Chris Solly, Bradley Wright Phillips, Ricardo Fuller, Dale Stevens and Scott Wagstaff. I manage with the following tactic: Passing: Shorter C Freedom: More Expressive Closing Down: Press...

Which is best? Or do you use both together at the same time? I lost 4-0 away to Nottingham Forest today and am wondering if my losing streak and the fact over the course of the game my team is generally outplayed and outperformed in every department is down to my preferred choice of setting the...

You, I am afraid, are shutting the stable door before the horse has bolted there. You are telling some of us things before you have even told us how to do it. I have absolutely no idea how each set-up impacts on how the team plays. I do not know the difference between rigid, balanced and fluid...

This is my first post as a newbie. I have bought and played FM 07', 10' and now 13'. I have never completed a full season due to certain technical issues with my PC which has resulted in me having to reboot the PC and re-install a game half-way through a season. Which is a blessing in disguise...
