    David Alaba or Ricardo Rodriguez

    I'm just finishing my second season with Everton and looking to upgrade/replace Baines who is now pushing on a bit. I won the league in my first season (which was a real surprise), and am currently two points clear of United at the top with one game to go, away to Bournemouth (equal goal...

    False 9 for Southampton (3rd Season & UCL)

    Hi guys I am looking for some advice/suggestions as regards my striker dilemma. I'm just starting my third season with Southampton (first LFC Marshall summer update). I finished second in both of my previous seasons, and so have a reasonably high profile. I can't seem to find a striker...

    A New Mac for FM 2014?

    Hi I know it's tricky to tell without anybody actually having the game, but how would people think a 2013 MacBook Air would fare with the new FM 2014 (and the next couple of versions into the future)? I would probably go with the 8gb Core i5 model and 128gb SDD. Have people found that it runs...

    Verratti, Pogba or Barkley?

    Just after finishing my first season with Spurs using the latest LFCMarshall update. I have the chance to bring in one of Verratti, Pogba or Barkley. Verratti and Pogba are close stats wise - but Verratti has the better creativity. Barkley is a bit behind them in development but younger and...

    Lamela as an AMC (Advanced Playmaker)

    I'm currently playing with Spurs on the latest LFC Marshall update. Erik Lamela starts off life as primarily an AMR (Inside forward). I'm using the Forever Real Madrid tactic and have been playing Lamela somewhat out of position as an AMC (Advanced Playmaker). I'm just wondering what...

    Complete forward for Spurs - First Season

    Hi guys Looking for recommendations for a complete forward for Spurs. I'm at the Christmas break and have £50 million to spend - but don't want to spend it on one player unless he's top quality. I can get Benteke or Damiao for £20 million but they aren't naturally complete forwards. I can...

    El Shaaraway as a Deep Lying Forward?

    I'm playing with Spurs on the latest LFCMarshall update and brought in El Shaaraway in the first window. I brought him in originally to play left or right wing using Lippe's Sacchi tweak. However, even though it has worked for me before on a previous spurs game, that's failed to produce the...

    Minimum match needed time to fulfil youth potential

    Just wondering how much do I really need to play my kids to see them develop. At the minute much of my Spurs team is under-23, with either two young players competing for the sane spot (eg 22 year old Holtby and 21 year old Saponara for AMC) or a great prospect like 19 year old Kongondobia...

    Irresponsible board

    I'm playing with Spurs at the minute (with a transfer update). I didn't go too wild with new signing - I got Baines and Felliani and some youth prospects but shipped out Adebayor, Parker, Gylfi S, Assou-Ekotto, Capoue and Huddlestone to compensate on the wages and transfer side. I'm still...

    Setting up Corner Instructions for multiple tactics

    Hi, I'm currently switching between three different tactics, depending on opposition and whether I'm home/away etc. I set up my corner instructions for my home tactics, based around the relative strengths and weaknesses of my preferred starting 11 for that formation. It works well when...

    Pep at Bayern - Unstoppable

    I applied a database update for latest transfers, so I'm not sure if Pep is set to go to Bayern on the game ordinarily. Anyway, I'm playing with Dortmund and one the league with a few points to spare in my first season. Then Pep came to Bayern - I'm just back after the Winter break, and after...

    Incorporating a "Target Man" into my Formation

    Hi guys, I'm playing as Palermo, with a 4-3-1-2 formation (3 cm across the middle, with Pastore in the hole behind two strikers). I play either a short passing control game for home matches, or a direct counter attacking game for away days/big teams. Last season I played hernandez/Kadlec as a...
