    This save is not at all going very well, left QPR because I'm quite sick of being 3-0 up and watching Colombi a defender or some other idiot mess up to make it 4-3. Need a new team.

    I've tried everything to get the team balanced. I even brought in the most expensive and highest rated goalkeeper I could buy for less than 5M to get some quality at the back, it failed miserably.

    Everton it is. No transfer budget what so ever, but at least I have a decent defence.

    i played as everton in FM10. most boring FM save ever

    every game was 1-0 or 0-0. and everybody who i purchased flopped at everton, even the likes of falcao/pastore. tim cahill was my top scorer for 3 seasons straight

    Everton and I just work together. They may concede leads once in a while, but most of the time they are able to score that last goal as well.

    25 year old David Luiz, €7.3m from Chelsea to Blackburn?

    could be my strongest aquisition yet since managing Blackburn. chelsea have him transfer listed and "no longer needed". we'll see how much he asks for wages or if he's even willing to come

    I don't mean to be unreasonable, but 4 long shots on target, 3 goals? My goalkeeper didn't even concede that many goals against Chelsea...

    the same thing happens to me every game in blackburn, but for me, it's mostly conceding set pieces

    i would dominate games 14 shots to 1 and the opposition would score from a set piece

    the people over at the SI forums recommend i change my match preparation to "defending set pieces". i did so, and ever since i did, i conceded 11 goals, still 8 of them coming from set pieces
    The Football Manager Chat Thread! - Page 14 586389253

    match preparation is useless and broken

    It is because it's incorrectly marked Laughing

    Defensive positioning is in reality "attacking movement" and vice versa. Attacking set pieces is basically team work, and team work is basically defend set pieces. I realized this while playing with PSG and noticing how having my team on defensive positioning conceded many more goals, while attacking positioning almost stopped it dead.
