Sometimes, my home one is a lot more fluid, and aims to control the game.

My away one is hoof and counter.

I like my team, all I need is the arrival of a solid DM and I'm set for a European Push with Forest

I have 25 tactics. They all stop working in december, so I have to make a new one every single time.

This season I will have 2 tactics maybe even 3

Speaking of tings not working. I need a championship level striker for roughly 300k, and max wages of 2.8k.

Any ideas?

Try and get David Connolly in.

He's like 34 and slow

And he's on 10k a week

They stop working because you don't have players in their preferred positions or the tactic itself is flawed. Sometimes you get lucky and they work for a bit but eventually you'll be found out easy. I won the title with Man City 3 seasons in a row with the exact same tactic. Everyone was on in there preferred positions + roles and the tactic made sense (i.e wasn't playing counter attack with slow tempo or physical midfielders with short passing)

in pre-season just had 35 shots on target out of 42

I'm happy with my team

Did a little piss around with Colchester and had 93m to spend and got Jordan Rhodes, Ched Evans, Rickie Lambert and some guy called Riaz Pepe. Not gunna continue it though as I will storm the league and it will be boring. Might create my own club and have no money to spend and bring in youth players and stuff and build a dynasty.

How do you do that?

I actually do have them in their prefered positions, and they are not flawed, as they all work perfeclty until december every single time. When I hit december the stats for CCCs and shots on goal, and the general play on the pitch stays the same, but the shot to goal ratio drops drastically and mistakes are a plenty.

I have no trouble keeping my team playing well, heck I've finished at 90 points with ManUtd twice, but a drastic drop like that is unacceptable to me.

Yes, Lech drew with Widzew Lodz! I may have a shot at the title now!

How do you do that?

On the FM2012 Editor, you get it with the game.

Sorry but I don't follow. Is it a disk that comes with it, an option at the start menu, I've never heard of that before.

You download it from steam.

Makes sense. Is it free? This sounds pretty cool.

Aberdeen. The three strikers I brought in for nothing has had one hell of a injury spin though. Main striker has played 5 games (scored 6 goals though, including 2 in a 3-0 victory against Rangers), second choice has plaed 10 (scored , and third choice has played 7 (scores and then gets injured for a few weeks). Just can't catch a break with the injuries.

My game keeps saying 'FM 12 is already running'

Nice choice. Unlucky with the injuries though.
