UNOFFICIAL: Successful Manager - GUIDE (PGCătălin)

[Aaron Ramsey Tiong]

Maybe he's saying that you shouldn't add everything into one section for a player. For example, ST, you don't want to add all into attack, he will have high dribbling, shooting, finishing, but if you didn't add to P&M, he will have low speed, strength and fitness, and no defence then he will have low heading.

I think formation should be changed quite often. A few seasons ago, I thought I had a great plan, because I played 100% through the centre, I was regularly changing between narrow 4-3-2-1 and 4-2-3-1, sometimes 4-1-2-2-1. Over the season, I struggled because sometimes it would have been easier for me to attack down the flanks. Now, I'm investing in AMC that can also play AML or AMR, but still don't have any ML/MR or DML/DMR. Next season, I plan to have a much more flexible squad.

If you will switch players very often with your substitution, you won't get so many skill points also you will lose much faster players moral. IMO I think you should focuse on one formation at the start of season and play with that as long there is no team who can beat an other one, some stable formation should be very good

Well, those would be the main concerns, but you actually get about as many skill points, just that they are spread out among more players. In some cases, this would actually bring you a higher profit if you were to sell on the players.

Also, you say the players will lose morale much faster, but I have no problems with them. Everybody I need is on deep green right now, only my 2* youth and a midfielder whom I haven't used for a while are on orange morale. I'm not using the midfielder because he is quite old and already on 84 quality, I would rather get my other midfielders up to 84 because they seem to sell better if they are close to the next star level.
