Got my first CL final in about 15 seasons coming up. Any advice generally on how to approach it tacticswise? I generally opt for more defensive tactics, normal mentality at home and defensive/v....

I've recently yoyoed between having brilliant seasons where I've been out the CL and had a storming league season (and often a good cup run to boot) and dire league campaigns when I've qualified for...

I suffered from this problem for several seasons. CM tend to bit a lot more miss than hit in general. My current team has a crop of four young-ish CM (plus one auto generated one season oldie as back...

Does the game actually punish you at all for going into the red? My team has always been a tightly run ship financially with no mega rich tycoon takeovers :p

Quite the contrary. If only my now scout level keeper would make the odd save instead of being effing useless all season... :mad:

Yeah if a player doesn't get mentioned I take that as a bad sign. Goalkeepers failing to deal with shots is also a worry. Not too fussed if players get yellow cards, unless i'm playing hard tackling...

It's still not that easy even with the price difference. I just shelled out half my remaining transfer budget on an 18 year old 84 skill striker valued at least 10m more than all the other similar...

Head to head is 6-3 in his favour, one win each. He isn't in any of my league or cup draws either so no way of finding him. Only other criteria I can think of is team value as mine is lower, seems an...

Personally I'd get rid of the one/two stars unless their performance levels are high. You could just sign some young three stars on frees, train them up and sell them on at a profit rather than pay...

Don't know tbh, he's not one of my friends. If there's no criteria beyond (a) points (b) goal difference (c) goals scored then surely it goes to alphabetical order pending a play off?! Don't really...

I don't understand why we won the league? We have an identical record in the table, equal goals scored/conceded. The rules state there should be a play off to decide the championship, but it never...

OK so it did get interesting! The rules say there has to be a playoff now, but I don't have any fixtures scheduled

Can anyone top this for late season drama?

My tier 12 league has been a three horse race all season. My team started unusually strongly, winning 6/6 and topping the table. I was knocked down a...

I never add people in the same league as me during the season, only afterwards as I reckon it's potentially open to abuse. Just ignore it, no point wasting your time and effort on it. Sounds like...

Known bug. Basically defend for your life in such a situation!

I've noticed this with a few of my players recently, particularly with ones who are having a bad season and play in DMC/MC. They seem to score and yet still get a 6 rating afterwards. I had this a...

There are certain players in the game who try to exploit areas the match engine doesn't quite simulate correctly. This guy's strategy appears to be left sided attack.

What I generally do if I play...

I'm at home so adopting such a defensive counter tactics feels wrong somehow...Ok supposing I start with that and he takes the lead, what would your plan B be? Definitely need two strikers vs his one...

I played 3-5-2 with wingbacks in the first game and enjoyed some success (fairly even first half) and I've noticed that most of the games in which he's dropped points this season have been against...

I forgot to mention, his two CM are beasts (high 7* and an 8*) and are better than my midfielders. I think long balls would be the way to go to lessen the importance of the MF, but in that case...

I have to play the runaway champions in my league today in a crunch match where I really need three points. They're undefeated all season, only drawing four games out of 24 so far. I would basically...

Well it turns out he played an absolute blinder, made four saves and got a 9 rating! Would've been MotM had the rest of my sodding team not been terrible...we lost 1-0 :(

Well I guess he will be...

Got him for a token. Fortunately is on full morale/condition so he's set to be dropped in at the deep end in a must win game!

The thought had occurred to me that if I could somehow come up with a way to get my keeper injured in 1st minute/sent off that would be an ideal solution...sadly I don't think that's realistic!
...

I have a bit of situation at the moment as my league season draws to a close. Both my first choice 5/6 star keepers are in absolutely abysmal form, with no signs of recovery in sight. As an example,...
