I play a flat 4-5-1 with wingers and centre mid set to attack, and a false 9 as centre forward. Sounds defensive but it's surprisingly fluid (as long as you have the mentality set to 'fluid' of course). Best team I've found is:- Begovic Wilkinson Huth Shawcross Pieters Walters (best to sign a RM though) Cameron Adam N'Zonzi Shea Arnie Haven't you bought any players yet?

Signed Cowie on a free transfer from Cardiff. 10th in the league at the mo and no cash spent. I'm a right tight arse.

In my second season, I got around £12ish million to spend, have you tried the speak to chairman stuff? Didn't matter anyway with my money because I was fucked over that season

Decided to start again with Stoke, and was given 5 million at first. I purchased Solly from Charlton. I then requested more funds so got £12 million from that, where I purchased Diouf and Florian Trinks, who is 21, and a replacement for Ireland after the loan back clause. Playing 4-2-3-1 Deep, with Arnie and Assaidi as Inside Forwards, and Cameron in DM with N'Zonzi.

Teams that would sit back and pack defense could really create a rift between your holding midfielders and the attacking midfielders. An opposition team with a playermaker in between Ireland, N'Zonzi and Cameron could also really hurt you, if you do have those problems dropping Ireland deeper but setting him to run forward often may help. The more successful (ie the higher Stoke's rep goes) the more packed that midfield space between the two lines of players will become to try and stop the tactic.

I'm planning on tweaking it somewhat though later. I'm a new FM player really so still a lot to learn. If problems arrive with the gap I'll rectify it.

Win a cup and you get some decent money, I've usually spent most of it on wages and agents fees with freebies, I rarely bought anyone in the first few seasons.

Anyone still in their 2nd/3rd season should keep an eye on Southampton, you'll get some real bargains, they ask for highish wages, but worth every penny.

Freebies or Saints selling cheaply? Selling cheaply, there's a midfielder I brought in from them for a mil, after 2seasons he's worth 40mil and have had offers around50 for him,but I can't for the life of me remember his name ,once I get my laptop sorted(some time in the coming week) I'll stick up who I got, also strangely enough I've just remembered I got Bojan on a free after a few seasons, but he was on about 80k+ a week.

I've done shit on the new database, albeit without Bojan. Ended up getting sacked as I said before and moving to VVV. Now I'm in the Europa League in my 3rd season with them.

I did wonder if it was him. I'll keep an eye out as i'm only into the 2015 season. Completely changed my side around and sold some big names. Current First XI is: Forster Trippier Shawcross Sule Pieters Fortounis Oztunali Yttergard-Jensen Kacaniklic Immobile Angelo Henriquez Played Leeds, managed by Pulis, who criticised me for my lack of English players. Won 3-0.

I have encountered a rather large issue.
at start of second season with stoke, got into the Europa league in my first via the league.Thank you bojan and ( now permenant) winger victor moses.
anyway Bojan stormed the season and now Barca want him back and so do Athletico so I decided to offer him a new deal, this is where the problem arose he's already on £43k and I really don't want to go above £50k which is what Moses is now on ( rightly so) am I just going to have to surrender of if not what is the best way of keeping his demands down. He and his agent are asking for £80k!!! btw his agent has me in his disliked people.
