Same old problems - Help needed

[drew_3]

I have just brought FM13, and I am having a great time with it I am Man City ( I know, I know.....I started the game with the intention of just using a big team to get used to the game, but I am actually really enjoying my save). I have started to see an improvement in the reaction from my team talks, for the first year ever I have designed a tactic myself instead of downloading one and its working well.

But I am coming up against the same old problems and gripes, I struggle against my closest rivals in the league and can't for the life of me figure out how to get the better of them, and If an opponent starts of dominating possesion or the game I can't wrestle the game back no matter what I try.

I appreciate sometimes the above will happen thats just football, but does anyone have any tips that may help in these areas?

Many thanks in advance for any help I recieve

Post a screenshot of your tactic and team instructions and people will be able to make suggestions

This would be my general starting tactic and I have seen some great results with it. One change I do make against close rivals is to have counter instead of attacking as my starting strategy, that said in the time that I made the original post and now I played United in the cup (albeit at home) and I wen't for a balanced style with standard strategy and won the game 2-0, is this the answer?
