I've had a great 4-2-3-1 since 11 that has 2 centre rather than holding midfielders. It's a very good tactic, both offensively and defensively, but I think that has to do more with the quality of my players than anything else.

Thanks for sharin'

Just had these results with that tactic:

I'm currently unsure as to whether I should let Real Madrid buy Giorgio Chiellini for £42.5M in the January transfer window.

I just started playing this game and I was wondering if it is possible to play as real managers like Jose Mourinho or AVB instead of just creating a manager, so is it?

EDIT: I think I just did that.

EDIT: No, I didn't.

Lol i cheated and edited Lucas Piazon, he's fucking ownage, 20 flair, 17 passing, 17 creativity, put him in midfield too, scored a hattrick against Spurs and he's only 18 lol!.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Piazon is criminally underrated in FM.

[Drogba11CFC 108]

Romeu was criminally underrated in FM09.

My current lineup (for a trip to Molyneux):

Asenjo

Ivanovic Alex Terry Kolarov

Ramires Camacho Lampard

Assulin King* Zhirkov

*Danny King, a young striker on loan from Newcastle. Touted as being potentially as good as Aguero.

[Kojo 4,676]

Assistant from Palmeiras, Valdir de Moraes or something. I think he's the best assistant in the game and I usually load Brazilian league just to get him

Thanks, after lots of searching up on google i found that person you just said, about an hour i asked the question, but thanks anyway he's quality, it's just a shame about his looking at player potential and current abillity skills.

Just smashed Tottenham 5-0 the other day.

[Kojo 4,676]

Been so unlucky in big games this season really have.

I was at Old Trafford, had most possession and chances in the game, battered them, was winning 1-0 after a great finish by Sturridge one on one with goalkeeper, then United get a jammy deflection from a corner out of nothing and it goes 1-1, but it counted as an own goal from Lucas Piazon. Then United go 2-1 up, after Ivanovic plays a simple pass to David Luiz but for some reason he's turned around and it hits off the back of his leg and Rooney grabs the ball and is one on one and scores... how lucky are Man United seriously... lucky enough Lucas Piazon manages to score a free kick and it finishes 2-2, but because Uniteds goal keeper was on top form i lost all 3 points, but damn they are so lucky.

Same happened with Tottenham i was 2-0 down and i hammered them the whole game, they got a goal from a corner then scored from a free kick lay off, screamer from Scott Parker (yeah right...) but i managed to score 2 goals in the last 5 minutes in the game, but still should of won, as Spurs's reserve keeper somohow put in a top performance.

And the same almost happened with Arsenal, they were 1-0 from a corner after i smashed them hitting the post about 3 times, then Van Pussy gives them the 1-0 lead, but managed to score 2 goals and get the deserved win. But still this is getting crazy, i keep getting really unlucky in big games hope it doesn't continue.
