WWFAN, of the SI forums is someone that helped created the match engine in FM. He's incredibly well versed, obviously, in FM so people should take this advice seriously. good post.

A whole bunch of awesome information here. Well done!

Ah okay. That's how I've set this up :)

Just got hired by AC Milan after a pretty successful first season with Everton. Milan are struggling, despite having a great roster. Lots of speed, and good playmakers. I'm thinking we should be playing Attacking (most of the time), Control (against teams like Roma, Lazio, etc.) and then...

Okay, I see what you're saying. That definitely makes sense to me. Sometimes I do end up using more shouts than just 1-3. Definitely can cause problems if my team isn't familiar with that style. As far as JP goes, I get that too. I think I'm better off at analyzing the match than just...

TBH, thanks for the reply. Are you saying that I shouldn't worry about my team being less familiar with an approach? Secondly, I have re-read JP Woody's understanding the odds thread, and I came away thinking "I don't agree". The reason being, is that A.) he doesn't use shouts or OI's (which...

Ah, okay. I have read that, but I never really took much from it honestly. I will have to go back and give it another go. I think the reason why I didn't take much from it is because I felt like after reading numerous other articles/guides I came to the conclusion that match odds didn't...

Hello all. I'm a pretty average FM player, however I have done a LOT of reading up on tactics and formations and everything else. My problems come down to tactic-creation confidence. I have little to none. And the reason why this becomes a problem (beyond the obvious) is that I'm not sure...

Hello everyone. I'm wondering if there is any way (besides using FMRTE) to edit the colors of teams' in game kits, like the ones you see when setting up your tactics, not the ones you see on the "information" tab. For example, right now I have Arsenal's 12/13 home and away kit in my club's...

Once you are this far into the game, don't you get sick of looking at the same kits and colors? I know you can easily add custom kits to the club information tab, but what about the tactic screen where you see the little kits, and of course the game engine itself with all the players in their 3d...

Good point(s). I think I'm basically done using any sort of downloaded or online tactic. I need to start gaining confidence using my own, it's just really frustrating in the early stages!

I don't know why my team would have been on such poor morale for the first 4 games of the season! I restarted my save and so far I've won the first game, although not easily. We'll see what happens.

I just implemented the Arsenal Wide 4-2-3-1 into my latest save, and it's been a ******* DISASTER. I don't understand, I followed all the instructions to set up the tactic, I'm using a top team, and yet we've already blown a 4 goal lead to Stoke, been knocked out of the champions league...

good advice, thank you!

If you go to the player instructions screen, the game will highlight what player attributes are "needed" for that particular role. So, for example if you set your player to "poacher" the game will highlight his finishing, among other attributes. As far as which striker role will score the most...
