Ian W LCFC Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 I mix them up a bit depending on the opponent. In the trickier games I sometimes go with Retain Possession and get rid of the 'be more expressive'. And switch between standard and control depending on the opponent too. I like to do some game management in the second half if I'm winning by switching to counter/defensive to see the game out which tends to work.

I'm looking at starting a new save, i'm currently Ajax and its gone a bit stale, Leverkusen have some top wonderkids so might give them a go!

Basingstoke Fox Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 I signed that Joel Pohjanpalo from Leverkusen for my Bristol City save. Did well in the Championship for me considering I was regularly rotating between him and Tammy Abraham (I've extended his loan for 2 extra seasons now). The start of my PL season is going badly, 1 point from 9. I'm also about to take charge of my first England match which could be interesting. I may look for different tactics to use for that.

Dan LCFC Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 Getting a bit worried here. Lost 5-0 at Spurs last night. That's twice in four games we've completely crumbled. I've kept clean sheets in two thirds of my games but I'm still prone to the odd howler. I've got a good run in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man Utd have walked the league already and with about 11 games to go, I sit 2nd. It's Champions League I want, and preferably 2nd or 3rd as I just know I'd go and run into someone I always blow it against like Shakhtar or Porto in the qualifier. Spurs are 5th and went into that 9 behind me. If I'd sneaked another 0-1 it'd have been a done deal I reckon. I'll post the table up later. It's genuinely funny how one sided it is. Man Utd are 6 clear of me at the top with 5 games in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 EA ans Sports Interactive definitely know their audience. It's incredible how good an incredibly average Manchester United are on both leading football games this year. I've a successful Valencia save I've basically given up on because I've got gotten to enough seasons in that anything other than a treble and unbeaten league season is a failure. But every year the Champions League final is basically Valencia vs United. They're ridiculous. Not only are their players already over rated but, unlike real life, they're perfect in the transfer market and every player wants to play for them. FIFA is even worse. Pogba, Martial, Smalling and Bailley are literally the best players in the world. Nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 6 July 2017 Share Posted 6 July 2017 I knocked Man Utd out of the cup beat them 2-1, we were brilliant. Then gone and knocked Arsenal out in the quarters. The semis, well it's the best chance I'll ever have of winning a trophy. I have Norwich in the semi final and the other is Wolves v Bristol City, Wolves are really struggling in the PL and Bristol City are 8th in the Championship. I've got a shocking record in semi finals though and I can see Norwich beating me. They're always over-rated on FM as well. I'd give myself about a 60% chance of making the top four. I should but the fixture scheduling is that bollocks that my last three games are all away. Why the hell do you have a three week gap in March/April on this also? It's like an extended international break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl the Llama Posted 7 July 2017 Share Posted 7 July 2017 I'm guessing 16 had a fairly significant patch sometime during the season: I've just convinced Morgan to sack his agent for bothering me with contract demands Swear that was never a thing before.

Dan LCFC Posted 8 July 2017 Share Posted 8 July 2017 Biggest bottlejob in FM history. You've got that League Cup debacle up the page, lost the FA Cup semi final to Norwich, slipped to 5th on the final day. How on earth have we ended up with just a Europa League place. ****ing disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 10 July 2017 Share Posted 10 July 2017 I don't get it. I concede from crosses all the time - at least two a game. Every goal I concede - or at least 90% - are just players running to the touchline crossing and an opposition forward having better movement than my centre half to score. Both are defensive full backs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counter / attaching depending on who I play. Tempo usually normal unless I'm losing in which I get it up high. Abything I do I just concede from crosses. Even if I play a defensive winger. I want to have a DM but don't want to lose a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 I've had a decent go as Werder Bremen. Pokal in the first season and Champions League qualification in the second. Aided by the sales of Zlatko Junuzovic (£24m) and Maximillian Phillip (£25m) to Leipzig, my team going into season three looks decent. GK: Predrag Rajkovic DEF: Sylvain Widmer, Andreas Christensen, Jairo Riedwald, Ulisses Garcia CM: Jack Wilshere, Thomas Delaney, Charles Aranguiz FW: Yannick Carrasco, Johannes Eggestein, Serge Gnabry Getting a bit restless though. Could be tempted by Portsmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT EA could do all of us who like both management sims and actually playing the game a favour and develop Career Mode for once, instead of just leaving it to stagnate, year after year with barely any gameplay or feature updates. But of course they'd focus on FUT, since it makes them a f**k-load of money. C**ts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurmastonFox Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 The year is 2019. Spurs have just won the premier league. I have just been promoted to the premier league with Coventry and Mahrez is playing in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
