Hello,
I've been a fan of CM since 2005 until 2008 or so, then switched to FM and actually hated 2014, liked 2015, now loving 2016 (and it was a present from my gf <3 )
I'm managing Kayserispor from Turkey, I tried many tactics, darren's devestating, TFF's some tactics etc, and now I will be trying the Eclipse. The only problem is that I don't have a suitable ML, I have 3 guys with ML position and all are left footed. I will post my current squad, and any players you may want to view, and I hope you can give me pointers on what to do.
I can't win the league, even though I have the best DC, best DM, best CM, best AMR, and best ST in the league. I get defeated by silly teams, and yet win against Olympique Lyon on UEFA cup. However, this makes hard to win anything, because I win 2 games and lose 1, I only managed to win a Turkish cup in my 4 seasons played.
I need set pieces tactics. I have Oliver, left footed with Corners-16 , and Sandro, right footed with FreeKicks-18, yet I can't score from either corners or freekicks.
Lastly, I concede a lot of goals, the opponent has 3 shots, 2 on target, and I concede 2 goals. Is it beacuse my defense, or my goalkeeper? How do I tell?
Btw I do "only commentary" and rotate my players so they don't get angry with me, they usually have very high morale.
I want to recruit more and better young players every year, how do I improve their quality? The best I had in 4 years is a guy with 4 stars on potential, and it went down to 2,5 stars because my whole team got better.
Btw I'm managing France too (they kicked their manager and asked me to manage), and using the same tactic, and 5 matches played, no goals conceded yet
I will post here, with screenshots and everything
How to use scouts best? I used to send them to big countries to scout 15-17 year olds with 4* potentials, now I'm scouting every other country to raise my knowledge level, how should I use them?
Training, I'm using "fitness" on high intensity pre-season, "balanced" on average intensity on season, and my pre-match is "Match" until the tactic is Fluent, otherwise its "Def Positioning". I will post screenshots on this.
About individual training, how should I train my players? I usually train them for the positions I'm playing them at (like Deep Lying Forward for all my strikers), should I change that? I usually pick the lowest and useful stat for training too, like Crossing for ML/MR, or Technique for MC, or Jumping for DC.
I want to get better at this game, so any help is appreciated.
I would also LOVE a list of stats on what a position requires, like Tackling-strength-marking-positioning-etc for DC.
Help on how to sell players and how to block other teams from buying my players would be awesome too
I will try to contribute and help others as much as I can too, but as you can see, I barely know what I'm doing and need help.
If you read this whole thing, I love you <3
Thanks!
