can you choose your feeder club ?
hi im playing a 4-3-3 variant formation 4-1-2-3
ST- ST- ST
CM-CM
DM
DL- DC -DC-DR
my center forrward is a target man with support duty
the side forwards are poachers
so my game plan is based on the flick ons that my target man provide to poachers
and the crosses that my poachers provide to my target man
So i got 2 questions:
First one is how should my milfielders' roles and duties be ?
Second is which mentality should i play? (i play with balanced)
Thanks and sorry for crappy language

^set a ball winning midfielder to support, and maybe advanced playmaker support/attack if you've got someone with creativity and passing or just center mid support if they arent that creative or the other team is quite good.
That 4-3-3 won't work against teams that are much stronger than you so you may as well start out standard and if you feel like youre controlling the match then switch to attack. Don't bother trying to counter with a 4-3-3 i would play a 4-5-1 for countering

For me FM 11 is maybe the easiest from the series. I mean that for me it was easy to achieve performance.
I play a game with 4 champinoships (Egland, Spain, Italy and Germany) and I Started with Leeds United in english n power Championship. I took me a season to see what it must be done. The first season was very difficult and I only managed to stay out of relegation. The second season, doing some transfers and loans (Kakuta from Chealsea is a great loan to make as it cost you nothing but brings very good performances) I managed to finish the season on third place, and winning the promotion playoff.
The tactics: classic 4-4-2 (or 4-3-1-2 with an advanced winger not an attacking midfielder): 2 wingbacks automatic, the 2 CD -defending, Wingers attack, 2CM- one advanced attacking playmaker and one Suprting CM, in front a target man and a poacher (or depending on the qualities deep lying forward) attacking for all of them.
In Premiere League I only played for 7 matches (I left the team on 14-th place but I played agains Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea), and I received an offer from Atletico Madrid, and I wanted to see how I will manage there. The team was on 9th place, I finished the season on 2nd place mainly using the same tactics. In the actual season I lead in Primera division and I have 38 matches without defeat.
The fact is that sice FM 08 I use some basic principles which seem to allways work.
1. good scouting team (they search mainly in Europe, players between 17-21 for the future, or older if i need in the present, I don't like to much the non eauropean players due to the FGN restrictions), this is a way to buy possible good players for small amounts of money.
2. good training team (the more stars the coching has the better the pleyers wil play, you will see).
3. Use players on the positions where they play the best.
4. I don't buy players that cost more then 15 milons euros. (unless you are man utd, or real madrid, and then you can afford everything)
5. keep you players happy, so you don't loose key players.
6. I use a general training schedule for all players. (dividing it in defenders, midfielders etc made me loose 10 consecutive games in my first season with Leeds).
Well these ar just basic priciples that can be adjusted but for me they work

Hi all..just got a ques to ask u guys here
I loaded only 1 league in my database (England) to increase my pc performance(wood pc >.<)
Currently coming to year 2016..i found its getting harder n harder to get great players with 15++ attributes..i know its because the extremely small database i loaded
Just wanna know whether is there any other ways to increase players available??
Thx in advance =)

Still no feedback on this? Its not that its holding back my play or anything Im just sick of my assistant manager telling me the same things over and over!
It's your tactics!
Ignore it, if your tactics are sound and you are winning games then there is nothing to worry about, eventually the player will be used to YOUR style of play not his prior manager's.
Tempo is a team instruction anyway, so you'd need to increase it for the team which could then get your assistant telling you that other players are used to playing at a slower tempo...
you could perhaps increase/decrease a specific players passing range if he is giving the ball away a lot or whatever. The same with closing down, if he is out of position a lot or doesn't close down when you'd expect him to then perhaps increase/decrease his individual settings...
...but changing anything like that can (and often does) have a detrimental effect on your team's overall performance. Personally I ignore it, and let them get used to MY style of play (they will eventually)

Question,
with match preparation when i have completed become accomplished in all the areas and that only took 2 months is there any use?
Like i mean i lowered the workload but i still changed the focus for example if i conceded a few i then focused on defensive positioning and vice versa.
Is there any point in doing that even if my team is accomplished fully?

According to the SI developers, the only aspect of Match Preparation that 'carries on' is 'Team Blend'. All the others, e.g. Defensive Positioning, Defending Set-Pieces, etc, are for the NEXT match only...
Example, if you are facing a team that scores a lot from set-pieces you should (could?) change your match prep to 'defending set-pieces'; if you're facing a team that you expect to have lots of possession against, then you should (could?) set your match prep to 'attacking movement'; and so on..
Apparently, if you set your match prep to 'Team Blend' for the days in between games and then one or two days before the game you change it to whatever you feel the team need to focus on, that is sufficient for that particular game. What is a bug-bear is that you could have your team focusing on 'Defending Set-Pieces' for several weeks but as soon as you change the match-prep focus the benefit of the several weeks is lost! (this is what I meant by 'carries on' above).
Team Blend is about morale, about familiarity, and so on.. in your assistants team report where he tells you that your team has a "good understanding" or "have yet to develop an understanding" etc etc is where you will see the benefit of team-blend as well as seeing the morale of your team improve. This will not decrease if you change the focus of match-prep although morale is also linked to form
Personally, I leave my match-prep on team-blend and only use one tactic. I also only have match-prep set to very low (10%). If you have more tactics that you want the team to become fluent in then you should increase it to high or very high until they are fluid; you can then reduce it to very low and not have any problems.
hope this helps

Hello little Mourinhos,
how to make a player captain ? Do not find any options in the tactics menu or elsewhere.

Quick question, when I go to import tactics into my game, it imports successfully however when I click the tactic the TI's just stay at balanced, standard and default. It use to load the TI's fine, but now it won't. It's really starting to annoy me aswell :/ any help would be appreciated.
The tactics are badly bugged at the moment...
the workaround, basically, is to make sure that you have the squad list in the left pane and the formation in the right pane before you change to a different tactic. The team and player instructions will then change to whatever they are set to in the tactic.
Just a small point, but one to make note of, is to make sure that you don't have a player highlighted in the squad list when you change tactics or his individual set-piece instructions will reset to default.
the bug should be fixed in the next patch.

Theres no doubt a very simple answer to this, but i`ve racked my brains and can`t seem to find the answer.
Anyway, on the training page how can i allocate the staff myself to the different training areas. Well i know how to do it, but when i try and do it all i get is fitness, GK, tactics and ball control available for staffing. Attack, Defend and Shooting are all missing. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

When I'm arranging a friendly cup, the semi-final and the final are always one following the other , if the semi final is 23/01/2011, the final will be 24/01/2011 and I don't know how to change it. It can be done? I would like at least a three days rest between matches but I don't see anyway to that.
Tactics -> There will be a "Formation" above the image, click it and choose Captains. Players with bigger influence are better captains.
Well, depending on the coach he'll have only some trainings available, a GK coach won't be able to train defending or attacking, neither will a assistant manager, and so on. Are you sure no one in your entire staff can train attack, defend and shooting? Usually coaches can train everything.

It might not be a small question, but here goes.
Playing as Tottenham atm, first season. Kept the bulk of the squad intact, my biggest buys have been Fellaini from Everton and Alex Sandro (DL). Struggling to find the right setup for my squad. First tried 4-5-1, Koflok’s Goal Galore. The team seemed to be struggling with that. Especially the DMC (Huddlestone, Jenas, Sandro) position got bad performances and it seemed my midfield got overrun quite often.
For the season really got going I switched to a 4-3-3 setup:
Winger (attack) – advanced ST – Inside forward (Support)
Ball winning midfielder – Deep lying playmaker (defend) – advanced playmaker (attack)
Automatic full back – stopper – CB – Automatic full back
Fluid, standard, default (more short, more direct depending on pitch size), press more, more creative freedom, more roaming (mostly inside forwards, and advanced playmaker), default tackling. Didn’t change any of the set pieces.
This did really well with huddlestone as deep lying playmaker and VDV as the attacking playmaker. Beat Chelsea 6-1 at home (league cup though) and only lost once (away at Liverpool) in the first half of the season even managed to beat Barcelona away. Top of the table with a nice lead on ManU (7 points) who I also managed to beat away from home. However just after the winter transfer window (bought Douglas Costa (AMR) and Coentrao (LB)) things are just falling apart. Couldn’t win for the life of me, only draws and losing. Even when playing Leeds in the FA cup or Birmingham at home. Ofc now people are getting unhappy, esp since I don’t have a clue how to turn it around. Am I using a bad tactic and did I have a lot of luck first half or is it a good tactic and I’m I having a lot of bad luck? One thing I noticed is a ridiculous amount of shots required for one goal. Have nearly 700 shots and only about 60 goals. Won a lot with just 1-0.
Match preperations have lately been all about defending positioning, so maybe that is why I’m failing (mostly smaller clubs). Anybody got any tips?
