But are you sure about hard tackling? I've never used it so far..I'm getting yellow cards almost every match and sometimes even red ones, with normal tackling.

I changed to hard tackle this year as a test and I rarely get yellows. It is all about possession and counter attacks. I am not telling you to go hard tackle, I am saying that I would do it if I were in your place, because it is working for me. If he has no freekick specialist then its a no brainer, but I do it even when the other team has one, just on principle. I like to hard tackle and injure the other team. MWahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yeah that's cool, but level 24 managers.. Have all 5-6 (or even 7) star players, and all of them have immensely high shooting and crossing skills, so even withouzt a free-kick specialist, you are ****ed if u foul them during their attack
