Stoke is a very physical team, so try finding some pacey players to make the squad balance, and start from there mate..

As i said to you in the PM, we need more detail, we can't suggest a tactic for you if we don't know what your squad is like. Not only that, but you haven't posted in the tactics section, which is here:

Football Manager 2012 Tactics & Training

At the top of that section is a huge bannered section called what tactic should i use, which also states that giving us more detail is likely to get better quality answers.

You could also try downloading a tactic:

Tactics - Downloads - Football Manager 2012 Tactics, Wonderkids & Cheats

Similarly, people are less likely to suggest players if you don't state what positions you are looking to improve. But for a start i would try Raikans wonderkid shortlist:

Raikan007's Wonderkid Shortlist Fm12 - Downloads - Football Manager 2012 Tactics, Wonderkids & Cheats

As for the last comment in your PM, im not sure how a website with 333k members can be called a 'club for friends'

Expecting answers at 3am is also a bit unrealistic, the majority of users are UK based.

Just be patient, now this thread has a few posts and the ball is rolling you should get some help come the morning.

I would suggest instanly dropping the 3 strikers tactic.

Stoke have big players (unless you have inherited a vastly changed squad, you haven't said what year this is either) who generally are good at heading the ball.

A tactic that makes use of this would be my suggestion. Grab two decent wingers (if the squad hasn't changed then you already have pennant and etherington) and play a simple 442, getting the ball wide as much as possible, and make sure the wingers cross it in for the big men to nod it in.

its 2013 and the vast majority of the players i.e pennant and etherington are gone and the rest want to move to a bigger club so basically im looking to off load them and start from scratch

i also have 10 million with the chance of more once i sell the rest

Offloading an entire squad is very difficult (selling is notoriously hard) and is also disruptive to any new players arriving into an unsettled squad, making your chances of promotion lessen. Winning a few games on the bounce also generally see's a players unhapiness for things like wants a move to bigger club/unhappy at treatment by you etc go away, so you don't necessarily have to sell everyone to succeed. How many teams have sold an entire squad in real life and gone on to do well anyway?

Screenshot us your squad (press alt+f9 when on your squad page, then find the screenshot in my documents/Sports Interactive/FM12/screenshots) and we'll go from there.
