Good opening post, I'm interested to see how this does as the 4-2-3-1 can be very tricky to master on FM14.

Liverpool have turned their noses up at him?

He'd be their best midfielder by an absolute mile.

Baffling, Man Utd are crying out for a Fabregas type player.

I'd take Fabregas if he was going.

He rejected our first bid? I wasn't aware of any bid we had that was accepted then he's moved the goalposts?

What I normally do is start off with a traditional targetman upfront such as Marouane Chamakh - then once the opposition increase their defensive line in order to try and grab a goal against my packed midfield and defence - unleash a player such as Dwight Gayle who will run in behind and knock balls over the top for him. I normally make this switch at half time if the targetman isn't proving effective.

I made this tactic a while ago after I got Leeds promoted to the Premier League and was unable to strengthen my squad to a competent level - it allowed me to sit back and hit teams on the break. I've just started testing it with Crystal Palace and this is what happened in my first game.

The tactic requires extremely fast wingers with good crosses, and obviously a strong goalkeeper. The half back must be an intelligent player rather than a physical beast too.

The same as my Tuchel tactic, I'll test this over the season and eventually release it as a .tac file.

We'll never almost double our bid for Cabella.

Yet another target we've failed to get "over the line" because Ashley is too tight.

Urruti and Fernandez are doing great, as are Darlington Nagbe and Diego Valeri. They're the best players in the squad, it's tough to fit them all in.

Would be happy with the 20m we got for Cabaye being spent on Cabella and Grenier. Can't see it happening though.

Stephens is alright, not doing too much but not playing bad either.

Great start this... I assume you're cheating again? That tactic looks like it's working really well, I might have to try something similar out in my next save. How is Stephens turning out for you? Seems decent for MLS level

No I'm not ffs

And yeah, the match engine really struggles with vertical movement - so roles such as centre midfielders on automatic (as they can be switched between defend, counter and attack with one button), shadow strikers and complete wingbacks seem really overpowered.

Still going strong in the MLS - knocked out the US Cup by lower league opposition though which isn't good. A few key players such as Rodney Wallace and Donovan Ricketts have already announced that they are leaving at the end of the season so maybe another year here might not be so bad. They'd need replaced and ideally I'd like to replace them with American talent, letting 2 international slots go.

I think Paulinho will come good though, and him and Sandro will be a good partnership.

Players need time to settle in.

3 narrow AMC's could work great with Dembele Lallana and Eriksen.

You not a fan of FM14 or just prefer FM13?

Good first season though, managing in Wales is bleak.

Hmph, in the game IMMEDIATELY after I criticised the MLS for being too easy I lost 5-4, despite creating 7 clear cut chances to LA Galaxy's 1.

Ridiculous.

The match engine seemingly struggles with lots of vertical movement - complete wingbacks, box to box midfielders, centre midfielders on automatic, wingers on automatic and shadow strikers all seem to perform really well for me.
