    Making CBs go forward during open play

    Watching CBs like Koscielny he is often found in the oppositions box after a cross from the sides in open play (not right after corners, long free kicks etc) Is there any way to make your CBs do something similar in the game? That is have a CB in a CB position but still make him go up and head...

    Inconclusive help

    Look at Juventus under Conte, the 352 with central midfielder (pirlo) dropped deep. it gives great cover for your defence and wing backs can function just as well as wingers in a slower build up game. its great fun, I promise!

    How do you guys keep the game interesting/refreshing when you get bored of FM?

    January sale 2018, I bet all my worldly belongings you're gonna buy FM18. It's not a bug, its a virus, it never stops. I've played every installment since 95/96 or 96/97, cant remember that well, whenever I see a game IRL with either great tactics at play, or lousy tactics and underperforming...

    I am always struggling in January-February

    your team now has a better reputation since you're doing well, rep's change around new yrs so the opposition are sitting back more against you so you need to play even better to break them down, and also play better defensively to avoid their counter attacks.

    Teams/City max capacity stadiums

    aah, yeah a loan makes sense, it would just be interesting to know if I could plan ahead and save up for a 2nd new stadium if the first one I get has a max cap at 30-40k, but I'm probably getting ahead of myself. Thanks a lot for chiming in pal! :)

    Teams/City max capacity stadiums

    yes, that's what I'm trying to say: I think you have to buy it before being able to expand it. So if it can only be expanded to around 16,5k I really wouldn't want to buy it, but rather just build a new one straight away! Do you have any idea on how much you had to pay for building your new...

    Teams/City max capacity stadiums

    Thanks a lot for the input, really appreciate it! Can I ask you approximately how much you paid for the new stadium? It seems to me Bournemouth doesnt own Vitality either, so you'd have to buy it before being able to expand it?

    I am always struggling in January-February

    New years is when the team status in the league changes, so where the opposition have been attacking you more freely previously they are now closing up shop more making it harder for you to score. counter attacks are way easier to score on than breaking through a tight defence, that's probably...

    Teams/City max capacity stadiums

    I've been thinking about starting a save with Bournemouth, spending the PL TV-money on building a huge stadium and of course youth facilities, but then I remembered on an older version of FM the City council of Newcastle refused me to increase the stadium capacity to more than around 60k or so...

    Getting German Regionalliga Teams Promoted?

    Reputation used to decide which teams got promoted from leagues under your playable ones, that's why B-teams so rarely get promoted. Pretty sure it still works in the same way, havent heard of any changes.

    Leverkusen - no B-team or u23 team

    As the title says, we only have senior squad and u19 squad in the first season, some teams have B-teams/2nd teams, but I'm pretty sure there is a u23 league in germany. Is there a possibility I can suddenly get a 2nd team later on in the save? or do I have to add something via editor before...

    Questions about training

    One thing I've always wondered is if I set a CB to train as ball playing defender, does that help increase his pass and creativity skills faster or does it only help him fill the green cookie box for BPD? Does the kind of role chosen improve specific attributes or only role compatability?
