Got this on Sat. My greatest battle at the minute is the self control to turn it off, played it till nearly 3am on Sat night.
I'm about 5 or 6 games into the season, in the playoffs. I've only just finalised my tactics to be honest, so now I feel like I should start the season again. However I might wait, cool it a little, finish my book, maybe play as a real lower league team like Cov spinx. Wait for the full release and the data editor to add to the loans.
I've been unlucky with conceding lots of late goals, I think I should have focused on fitness more pre season. I sacked most of the backroom staff and replaced them, kept Carsley and Oggy. Actually got Garry Pendrey as my assistant and Andy cole as attacking coach.
I got rid of several players, Kilbane, Reece Brown etc to free up some wages, signed some out of contract players and some free loans. Salif Diao was a good signing for me.
Playing some good possession football, generally getting around 60 to 70% possession in a match, but it's taken a lot of tweaking. I have 3 tactics, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 and a 4-5-1 ( V shaped ).
McGoldrick is crap in the game, I kept playing him as lone striker but he can't score to save his life. Callum Ball is pretty good though. McSheffrey is very good and Jennings is awsome as an anchor or ball winning midfielder.
Some good tips on forums like fm-base ( google it, can't link ).
