1. Training
- Pre-season
View attachment 436458
- Once tactics are fluid
View attachment 436455/View attachment 436453
- On second half of the season you should also train Set Pieces. Do that when you expect easy win.

2. Individual training
Individual training always same as roles they are playing.
WB train WB or FB - depends of player type you'v got (just check his report in player profile and which role is best for him)
Wingers - if you got for example Shaqiri or Pastore which are natural Attacking Midfielders train them New Position - Midfielder Left all the time. After a season they should become natural Left Midfielders. Same with right wingers.
The rest as usual - CF train CF, F9 train F9 etc...
3. Corners tweak
Put your best CD header on Attack Near Post pos.
Check your team for best Heading / Jumping midfielder or striker and put him for Stand On Far Post
like Fellaini on my screenshot:
View attachment 435319
His role is to take over missed cross and score from Far Post position. You should notice often header shoots from that player.
* go to Tactics / Set Pieces / Edit Corner Instructions

7. Tips
- at the start of season contract the best Assistant Manager you can get (Mauro Tassotti for example) and use him on team talks
- use pre-match instructions on opposition players (OI) only against equal or bigger clubs and use for that your Assistant Manager
- buy good coaches (check my), remember more coaches you have your tactics will be fluid quickly and your players will develop better
- first 3 months of the season train only Def. Positioning, then train it before Away and hard home matches and Att. Movement before home easy matches, on second half of the season you can train also Def. Set Pieces before easy home matches
- do the motivation talks with your team every month and try to not upset them
- praise your players when they perform well and warn when they are lazy
- play Home tactic only on home matches and Away tactic on away games
- important matches like Cup Finals play with Home tactic
- if you play at home and want to keep the score just change to away tac
- if you play away match and loosing change to home tac
- start a season with minimum 9 friendly games to get the tactics fully fluid
- play Left foot winger on Left side and Right foot winger on Right side, your wingers should be quick and have a good crossing
- if you get red card take off CF and play with single False 9 on attack (v3)
- if you note effective AI long passes behind your defense line or you loose a goal after long pass using home tac you can change Team Instructions to Drop Deeper but when you do that dont forget to untick Use Offside Trap (v3)
- remember Match Engine on FM14 is unstable and bugged, be prepared for stupid own goals and other stupid situations, you will loose goals and sometimes matches because of that ... just go for a smoke and chill
Good luck and have fun !
