    Newcastle 1st season.

    I'm looking for a trequartista type player to give Ayoze some competition for the amc slot. Budget of 5-15 million depending on player sales. Also any recommendations for a left footed wide player on either side would be great too. Cheers!

    Room for Improvement?

    This set up has served me pretty well so far with Newcastle winning the league in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th season as well as the FA cup and league cup 3rd season and Champions league in the 4th season. So overall I'd say it's not really terrible but I haven't been able to pull away and dominate the...

    English only team

    When creating a team is it possible to set that the team can only sign English or British players? Like Bilbao with Basque players? If so how do I do it in the editor? Cheers.

    Getting your assistant to use your tactics in holiday mode.

    I've recently been trying to create a diamond so after settling on what I thought was a decent set up I decided to start a save and go on holiday for a few games just to see how the tactic would fare before starting a proper save using those tactics. I played 11 games and I was pleased to see I...

    Training a completely new position.

    Does anyone have any experience of re-training somebody in a completely new position? I'm looking at retraining Davide Santon as an AML and was wondering how long it would take for him to at least be accomplished.

    Newcastle F9 1st season.

    Looking for a false nine for Newcastle as I'm not sure Cisse and Remy are technically suited or creative enough for this role. Probably looking at selling Cisse and playing Remy as an inside forward on the left. 3 options so far are Eduardo, Gomis and Landon Donovan but looking for any better...

    Second season syndrome, Help.

    After winning the league in my first season with Monaco I'm somehow struggling in the second. I'm using the same tactics as the first where I dominated after a few months of inconsistency that I put down to all the new signings gelling. I've uploaded screenshots of my formation, team...

    Stick or twist?

    I've just finished my first season with Newcastle finishing 6th and winning the league cup which is decent but I was a bit worried at how inconsistent I was at times. What would people suggest I do to improve my main 433/451 tactics? Should I keep it how it is and hope that any transfers I might...

    Average match ratings

    Have the average match ratings been toned down on FM14? Despite making a decent start with Newcastle (5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) the only players who have an average rating over 7 are Cisse and Ben Arfa. I've even had ex players calling for me to drop certain players who aren't performing well...

    How do you avoid second season syndrome?

    I've noticed a lot of people on here complaining that after a successful first season they struggle in their second season, I've also struggled with this even when playing as big clubs such as Man City, Bayern etc. A lot of people seem to think that it's down to teams sitting back making it...

    Positions and Transfer budgets have changed.

    I went to start a new save with Newcastle and noticed Ben Arfa's natural position was amc, he was competent at aml and accomplished at amr, last time I was Newcastle it was natural aml. I also noticed that Newcastle's transfer budget was £3m where last time I started a game it was £11m. Does...

    International problem

    I'm about to start my third season with Chelsea and have also just taken over as manager of Brazil. However when I pick my Brazil squad Oscar automatically becomes unavailable for Chelsea even if there's no international game close. I've tried leaving him out of the squad until I actually play a...

    Help me improve my Spurs tactic

    As you can see I'm doing pretty well with Spurs but I'm getting really frustrated with how many goals I'm conceding, can anyone suggest what to tweak in my set up to tighten the defence up without harming my attack? I'm conceding a lot from corners and free kicks as well as from players running...

    How to improve my laptop in time for FM2013

    I have a HP laptop with 4gb ram and about 465gb of memory, I can't remember the exact model. I managed to play fm2012 on it without any problems but was hoping to improve it in time for fm2013 as it always said I just had half a star for game speed and half a star computer performance. Is there...
