Albrighton's corner rating is 16 - by far the highest in my squad - yet he cannot ever beat the first man.

What's your corner setting? Change it to hit the penalty area or back post

It's 'mixed' (or whatever the setting is) but I will try that cheers.

Probably asked a million times but where's the best place to download facepacks? The cut out one on sortitoutsi looks the best but its split into about 19 slow files and I don't really fancy wasting £10 to download it. Any recommendations?

I do miss the old days of "aim for near post" which guaranteed your centre half 15 goals a season. I think Sol Bamba got me about 25 once, it was absolutely ridiculous.

Finally got to a cup final. 3-1 down to Arsenal heading into the second leg but managed to beat them 2-0 and thus won on away goals!

Dear Lord after all this time I never realised there was a torrent link at the bottom of the megapack on sortitoutsi  :nigel:

 

It always used to be for premium members ie. those that paid. Is that no longer the case?

Into another save, this time with Lazio. Into my third season now, managed to move out most of the ageing members of the quad and replaced them with some good young players, so looking forward to this season as maybe my first title (2nd and 4th in first two years). Juventus have got 90+ points both seasons though so it'll be tough.

 

My team:

 

GK: Begovic

 

FB ®: Basta

BPD: De Vrij

CB: Carrico

FB (L): Jorge

 

DLP: Imbula

BWM: Onazi

 

W ®: Willian

AP: Bruno Fernandes

IF (L): Felipe Anderson

 

P: Gabbiadini

Have started the season well with counter - flexible

Schmeichel - goalie defend

Simpson - full back support

Huth - cd defend

Morgan - cd defend

Fuchs - fb support

Mahrez - wm attack

Drinky - cm support

Kante - ball winner support

Albrighton - wm support

Okazaki - defensive forward defend

Vardy - advanced forward Attack

Had about 40% of the ball at home to Norwich and stuffed them 4-1. Let's hope that happens next week. I've noticed with player instructions you can get them to do whatever you like. It's great.

Lost 4-1 away to chelsea though after taking the lead and being 1-1 until 70th minute. Was too gung-ho in my team instructions that game though. Should have played a deeper line. Against Norwich and wba at home (3-0) even though I was counter tactic I pushed the d line up as far as I could and I just kept that for chelsea away. Big mistake. Pedro and hazard destroyed us.

Turned my form around atm thanks to a little change in tactics/roles:

 

Horn - Goalkeeper, Defend

 

Moore - Limited full back, defend
Ba - Central defender, stopper
Lovren - Limited defender, defend
Fuchs - Wing back, support

 

Gnabry - Winger, attack
King - Central midfielder, support (switch between attack and defend depending on the fixture)
Wilshere - Advanced playmaker, support
Albrighton - Defensive winger, defend

 

Schlupp - Poacher, attack
Vardy - Defensive forward, support

 

Currently on a 7 game unbeaten run which includes beating Manchester City in the League Cup final. Got a draw 0-0 at Old Trafford (my best result there) as well as a draw against Liverpool too... King is in unbelievable form which is currently keeping Drinkwater/Kante out the team.

Ive finally done something good on this game post Real Madrid.

 

Ive won the domestic treble with Boca Juniors. Predicted to finish runners up to River Plate, I had a terrible start in the league, with just 3 points from 4 games but we were solid after that.

 

Sadly, my best player, Correa from Atletico Madrid was only a season long loan and I have no chance of getting him back. Worth £17.75 million by the time he went back to Atletico, he was averaging over 8 for the season and won Argentine and South American player of the year. Incredible really. Didnt pay a single penny a week for him.

 

Ive now qualified for the Copa Liberetedores and Sudamericana which is nice.

 

In terms of signings, its difficult to get the players in. I need a centre back, as i only have 3 decent defenders on the books as centreback and Cata Diaz isnt getting any younger at 35. Ive been looking at Fabricio Coloccini who i think could do a job for a couple of years.

 

Ive also strengthened the left back position. I had Monzon on loan but frankly, he didnt perform well.

 

Ive brought in Emiliano Insua, ex Liverpool, for a second spell at the club who is a better overall player and brings good experience from playing in England, Spain and Germany on the game.

 

Filling the boots of Correa, i have Cristian Lodeiro as a good replacement and feel no need to improve this position, and I also have Leonardo Bettencur coming through who is a quality prospect.

 

At last, a game im actually enjoying.

Started a game with Sheffield Wednesday, I signed Rodrigo Bentacur & Dwight Gayle.

I sit top of the table by 2 points with 4 games to go, both Hull and Bristol City (2nd & 3rd) are snapping at my heels.

Basically if I don't get promoted, the club is screwed because we're losing money hand over fist.

I've had to sell 6 players in January (luckily I kept my best players) because the board reduced my wage budget my £85k per week.

I've managed to renew contracts of my better players (it's cost me slightly more per week but I've also cut out the 30% promotion increase that a lot of them had).

I play a 4-3-3 (with a BWM & a False 9), and I'm having about 60-65% possession per game.

I think with this squad I could survive in the premier league (beat a full strength West Ham team 5-2 in the cup, a full strength Chelsea team 1-0 away and lost narrolowly 2-1 to Man City).

Ah, Rodrigo Bettencur, not Leonardo as i called him, my bad.

 

Weirdly, i find i have MORE possession in games when i set up to counter.

No there is a Leonardo.

Leonardo Bittencourt I believe.

My football manager addiction is becoming a real problem! i've started bringing it in to work with me and sneakily playing while im alone in the office!

 

On the plus side, my Torquay United game is going fantastic!

I've always been useless on this game until this year. Won the Premier League with Norwuch in my 3rd season. And my Tranmere save I have taken them from the Vanarama National to the Championship in succesive seasons. Not sure what is going on.

It's not weird, the mentalities are basically different levels of risk, on Defensive players will try and make safe passes and less forward runs, less closing down (they still will do all of that just when it's safer to do so) whereas on attack players want to run forwards more, shoot more, close down more.

Just left FC United of Manchester having guided them to League 1 via the playoffs. 

 

I couldn't be bothered with being battered every match so took an offer at Wigan that summer to get them to bounce back having been relegated from the Championship.

 

Currently 10 points above 2nd place.

 

The AI manager that came into my FC United team clearly didn't rate my promotion squad. They've absurdly signed over 30 players and sent all of the players I got them promoted with to the club U21s. 

 

They're now sitting in 24th... I do find myself rooting for 'em though. I just get too involved sometimes.  :ph34r:

Started a new game as Arsenal to see how easily you could change them in to a title winning team. Unfortunately, the first season resulted in second place, though I won the Champions League. Looking good in the second season with a starting lineup of:

 

Cech

 

Gaya

Inigo Martinez

Koscielny

Bellerin

 

Goretzka

Modric

Pogba

 

Pratto

Lacazette

 

Bench:

Rulli

Emerson

Sule

Sturaro

Coman

Alexis

Rolan
