Better than nothing tho pal True but thought fuck it started again sold diouf arnie shaquri and pieters for 70million😉 I managed to get 14m for Muniesa from Wolfsburg, didnt even put him on the transfer list. Would you like to see my current squad in Season 3? I finished top of the table in my CL group including Porto and Bayern. Had 2 draws v Bayern.

Struggling myself - very difficult. See how it plays out through the season. Not saying I'm the best at the game, but having done a lot reading (after struggling for a while) you can't just play one tactic game after game. It's more intuitive then the last one, learns your weaknesses and targets them. Same as really life. You need to tweak and change to adapt to your opponent, you wouldn't play a high line against an arsenal attack of Walcott Sanchez chamberlain. So why would you do it in the game? Just my two penneth. Totally disagree I was Sheff Wed fhen Stoke wanted me. Won the premier twice and the champs league. Left for Real Madrid. Been there 5 seasons, won La Liga every season, the Champs League once and the Copa Del Rey 4 times. Been manager of the year in Spain and England a total of 7 times. Not once changed my tactics, just the players. SGS

Been there 5 seasons, won La Liga every season, the Champs League once and the Copa Del Rey 4 times. Been manager of the year in Spain and England a total of 7 times. Not once changed my tactics, just the players. SGS Same here, I had a Stoke save that went down the inevitable route of top six > champions > CL winners and then pretty much winning everything year in year out to the point that it was boring. I then started up a new game as Rangers after reading The Set Pieces Old Firm challenge series where one "FM Expert" is Celtic and the other is Rangers and the Rangers guy made an absolute cock-up of it. He was chopping and changing all over the place, making adjustments every week based on his opposition etc because it's "what you need to do now that the game is more responsive to your style" etc and he was sacked around Christmas with them in mid-table. I've just finished my first season with them, won the SPL by about 20 points as well as both cups and that was using my one and only Stoke tactic (4-3-3 with WBs, 1DM, 2IFs and a F9). I hardly ever change/rotate my players unless absolutely necessary and the only tactical change I make is going from Control (90% of games) to Counter in the really difficult away games. It does my head in when people feel like they need to over-complicate FM!
