How the hell did Villa get this kind of money?!

They outspent everyone on net transfer spend by a massive margin of 80 million pounds, Spurs were the second highest on just 26 million. They were also by far the biggest spenders than anyone in Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Russia, and Ukraine. They also had a 35 million pound big for Hulk rejected, and submitted 12 million for McEachran which I naturally turned down.

Yeah, you can have takeovers but their chairman is still Randy Lerner.

My current u-18 squad:

Have it, La Masia. That production line of centre backs (Ramos, Chalobah, Hirst, Brown and Aké)

Playing with Chelsea on FM is so ennuyeux. My first save on every new FM incarnation is one with us but I get really bored a couple of seasons in.

Why must you use French words

I have unfinished business with Chelsea that I hope to finish off with FM12. On FM05 my aim was to make Chelsea the best- 20 league titles, 15 FA Cups, 15 Champions League's and I would never have managed us again. I got up to about 7 quadruples in a row by 2012 but the save corrupted

I'm having some big defensive troubles. So far this season I've kept only one clean sheet and I've had to come from behind 5 times from 9 games. The matches I've circled in blue are those that I had to mount comebacks to win:

And here is my full fixture list from the previous season, excluding the final game, the CL final against Man United which was won 3-0 thanks to a hat trick from Salomon Kalou (I am the dubious goals panel and I rule that the Evra deflection doesn't count and therefore it was a hat trick )

1 7-0 win, 7 wins with 6 goals on the board and 8 with 5 goals scored.

I had that trouble, i kept conceding of set pieces, so i put the main training focus on defending set pieces.

And what pace are your defenders?, don't play highline if they are slow that causes a lot of damage, put it back and slow your play down more to balance it out.

Its set pieces, mainly.

Agree with that and the concentration levels could be a factor too.

Any suggestions for a good 4-2-3-1 tactic?

For some reason I cant get that formation to work for me and with our players I feel its the only way to play with Hazard-Mata-Hulk and Torres up front.

I would love to do an online FM league season with everyone on here!
