do Napoli if you want a fun save in Serie A. they have the capability to finish anywhere between 3rd and 6th place in Serie A, so they're kind of like Spurs in that regard. i never tried Napoli in FM. but they're the most fun team to use in FIFA/PES imo

Hmmm, was thinking Napoli, but worried I'll get bored doing a foreign country.

with Cavani you'll never get bored

Gilardinho and Jovetic have been in terrible form, doesn't help that there having rows between themselves, sadly looks like be sacked or resign, in 10th place

i wish FM would give us the option of being able to train players to be better with their weaker foot... i have a striker with great stats, but extremely poor left foot

Can't you interact with him explaining that you would like him to shoot more with his left foot? Maybe that will work.

Balotelli is shit

Thank fuck I have Van Wolfswinkel.

yeah, you can tell the player to avoid using his weaker foot, but that's not what i want. there are certain situations where it's better to shoot with your left foot. also defenders keep robbing him of the ball because he can't dribble with both feet. they keep showing him to his weak foot (i'm guessing), making it easier for them to rob the ball off him

50K seater stadium now.

Balotelli in this game is overpowered

ugh, lost the supercoppa to AC Milan. Mostly because I didn't have a single player over 80 fitness...

Edit:

And I start the season with a draw against Parma... lovely... this is going to be a long season.

Never scored for me in like 8 games. Don't think he matches my system Worst 9 million I have ever spent.

Fierro is already firing for me in the second season, still so much time to develop. Wilfried is still my main striker though.

Danny Gabbidon is my top scorer after 7 league games.

Resigned from Fiorentina slipped down to 12th, 42% win percentage never understood the team that well if i'm honest.

Everyone swears that tactics don't have a cut off point, but I always see one... must be going insane..

Effectiveness drops about 200%. Cruised the league with this tactic at the end of last seaosn (made especially for the latter half of the season). So far I've lost to AC Milan, drawn to Palermo and look like I'm going to lose to Sampdoria, this without scoring a single goal (averaged 4 goals a match before the end of last season).

League start so far: 9-0-1.

Chose Reading.

Anyone know anything?

oh i never use the same tactic over and over. ever since they added the "match preparation" thing i have 3 preset tactics. and prior to that, i'd have like 10. right now i'm playing FM9 and i have like 7 presets so far, with probably more to come as i advance through the season

and you're absolutely right. AI does adapt to your tactics. hard to explain, but i've seen it happen before in FM especially if you're playing as a significantly better team like barca, etc.

Hence why I tend to make 6-7 different tactics each season

Edit:



Can't even keep the ball for 10 seconds this season...


Ok, we can't possibly go from dominating every team in every match to being unable to pass the ball between the fullbacks and midfield without giving it away. Something is wrong here..

Schnix I have returned to Roma I was out of a job for nearly a year then Roma approached me with €10 million for transfers and €1.2 million wages.

Here is my team before I have made any transfers:

I'm going to start a game in League Two. Hate being a Prem team being constantly pumped off City and United.
