Just won the next friendly 4-0 against AC Milan...RVP scored twice as a Comp Fwrd....might go for Diame or Kondogbia...which one? or do I just train up Jones?

Hi, am trying this tactic with my Man Utd save and am currently still in pre-season...

These are the players I intended to play or start with for this tactic:

SK- De Gea
FBs- Rafael & Evra
CBs- Vidic & Evans
HB- Carrick
DLP- Gundogan
AP- Pogba
Eng- Mata
Treq- Rooney
AF- RVP

What do you think of the players in these positions?

Here's what I want to tweak:
1) Play Phil Jones in the HB role as I feel he is a better player than Carrick
2) Have Pogba "Shoot More Often" as he has a good long shot stat
3) Change RVP to a Com Fwrd because I feel he is more suited to that

How will this impact the tactic overall? I sold Kagawa btw and have Max Meyer as my backup for either the Eng or Treq role. Should I go and get myself a proper DM? I loaned out Fellani & also sold Cleverly which means my other midfielders are Sergi Samper & Giggs as covers.

I've played a few friendlies with this tactic and have found that although we tend to dominate the match in terms of possession, shots and clear cut chances, we just can't score. The most I've scored in a match is 3 so far.

Thanks

I'd say the formation is too attacking to be sustainable long term, you'll get results along the way but you will certainly come unstuck against the big teams.

There's loads of space free in midfield if Carrick is DMC and you have no MCs, hell there's loads of free space even if Carrick is the only MC. I'd say drop a striker and play two MCs, if you want a more direct style of getting the ball forward as quick as possible play two DMCs. How you pair the MCs is down to the players available to you. Carrick probably suits being a Deep Lying Playmaker or something, since you'll have 3 AMs and 1 ST left in the formation I dunno how much worth would be in having your other MC set to an attacking role. Might be worth setting him as a more defensive midfielder.

Just experiment with things, balance seems to be key with this years FM. If you are going for all out attacking formations then you have to make sure the roles match up, for example if you look at your current formation only really Mata is a creator in the final third because of his role, everyone else is basically set out to score. So it could be worth just changing a few roles and trying to make the players compliment each other.


Yes, I agree that the midfield looks weak with loads of free space. My conclusion is that I don't think I can play Rooney, RVP & Mata in the same team unless I train Mata to be a natural AML. But considering the players I already bought in Insgine and Sanchez, I don't think I can afford to do that. Therefore, I am now experimenting with a 4-2-3-1 formation with either Pogba or Gundogan alongside Carrick...Pogba or Gundogan will be set as Adv PM while Carrick as DLP...

I have also put up Kagawa for sale in anticipation that Rooney and Mata will contest the no.10 role should this formation become my main one. I realized that my biggest mistake was not buying a proper winger in order for me to play 4-4-2 as an alternative tactic...Sanchez and Insgine are not proper wingers and crossing isn't their best traits...

Am also considering a 4-3-3 but will try that later & see the results...btw, any suggestions on Team Instructions?

Hi, m using Man Utd & hv bought in a few players which are Alexis Sanchez, Lorenzo Isgaine (Napoli), Pogba & Gundogen. Sold Valencia, Young, Nani, Lindergaard, Butner, Cleverly & a few more going out...

Plan to play with 4-1-3-2 with both Rooney & RVP up top & Mata as the no.10 role...what's the best role for each player as well as the team instructions? I currently hv instructions set to a attacking/possession base style...

Rooney-Complete Forward
RVP-Complete Forward
Mata-Att Mid
Sanchez-IF left
Lorenzo-IF right
Carrick-Engrache dm
Rafael-FB
Evra-FB
Rio & Vidic-CD
DDG-GK

Should I change the formation? My AM says the midfiled is constantly overrun by the opp...should I play with just 1 striker?

Hope for some advice. Thks!!

Both the megapacks you mention will include both new and improved images. In the case of improved images, they will improve on the existing images, so you should confirm any overwrite warnings


That I do know. But it's different on a Mac where there's no option to merge but instead it replaces the old file with the new ones. No overwrite option as well.

Especially for the updates to the Megapacks and Logos, how do I merge the latest files with the current ones without replacing the current files?

It will take a bit to load the splash screen due to the amount of graphical content the game has to load. That is the only way your game will be affected, though as once you are on the start screen, you should notice no slowdown whatsoever.


Ah...so that's why when I woke up this morning, I notice I was already at the Main Menu. Any idea how long it will take? & what about in future when I start adding in Skins, Stadium Backgrounds and the updates to the current graphical contents? It has never happen for the previous versions of FM. Hope SI will fix this. Thanks a lot anyways Mons!

Hi, bought the Digital Version of FM14. I was able to get into the game without any problems initially until I downloaded the Facepacks, Metalic Logos and etc graphics & reloaded the skin. Now I am stuck at the Loading Screen which it keeps on loading and loading. Previously, before reloading the skin, it took just seconds to get from the Loading Screen to the Main Menu. Now it takes like forever. Any idea on this? Thanks!

CM Punk is probably the only superstar in the business now that would have been genuinely top of the card still in the Attitude Era - he's so much better than anyone else now.


He is good...Best In The World...sadly WWe & Vince just don't want to give him opportunities, as Paul Heyman so rightly pointed out last year.

Is this a serious comment? It was the most predictable result on the card. However despite that, this was the match that had taken me in the most and had me believing anything could happen. Definite match of the night again for Taker.


The thing is I've grown tired of WWE & Vince still sticking on to much of the old guard. While both Punk & Lesnar received major boost up going against Taker & HHH, they should have won imo...would have signal to the fans that WWE & Vince is ready to move into a new era...having Cena as WWE champions again is a prefect example of WWE & Vince refusing to move forward...a Punk, Lesnar & Heyman team up would be a great story line...but just can't see WWE & Vince doing it anytime soon...& yes, Taker & Punk deserved Match of The Year...

Your point on the article is?

I'm not even going to respond to you condemning the actions of a nation retaliating against a genocidal nation with one of the biggest military forces in the world that is hellbent on wiping the other side out.


My point is that, it's everyone's fault that this has happen. The US are still firmly behind the backs of Israel which is giving them the confidence and somewhat no fear in firing rockets into Palestine. Though the US strongly say no to any ground invasion, if the US can use "retaliation" as an excuse for rocket fires, they can too for a ground invasion. As for Palestine, the whole reason they have gotten themselves into this mess is because of Hamas who thinks he can gain something by firing rockets which 9 out of 10 get taken out by the Dome. Hence as written in the Times, he's planning for bigger and longer distance rocket missiles. If Israel who one day finally gets properly hit by those Hamas rockets, are they not the victims then? If you're saying that Palestine is a victim here, I would agree but on the basis that it is a victim of Hamas's actions and Israel's so call retaliation. It's Israel's Government hellbent on wiping out Palestine versus Hamas's idea of destroying Israel.

That's why I'm strongly in for a different approach by the US and U.N towards both Israel Hamas. The innocent public of both sides are the real victims.

Britain has just recalled its ambassador in Israel and I hear France is mulling the same move. Signs of their protest against Israel attacks on Palestine. I just don't get it though, why does Hamas gets away with his bombings when the Israel face so much slack over their actions? Yes, people say that Hamas rockets only managed to kill 1 or 2 Israelis while Israel rockets kills thousands of Palestinians. So? People still die right? The Times wrote a report saying that Hamas's rockets are getting stronger and better and could one day render the Iron Dome useless. "9 out of 10 fired into Israel get take out by the Iron Dome but that 10th hits an Israeli somewhere. Hamas's rockets are improving and thus we are seeing Israel improvising a second Iron Dome". IMO as long as Iran and Lebanon still continue to back Hamas, more rockets will be fired and one day Israel will finally be bombed just like Gaza. And the longer US and Obama continues to give the green light to Israel to fire back because they are being fired, more Israel rockets will be fired.

There needs to be a stop on both sides.Acknowledging Palestine as an official country is only a small step for U.N. More needs to be done and fast.

Robert Mugabe and Laurent Gbagbo are Christians. The fact that people like Assad are fighting and killing their own people is to do with power and retaining it. It has nothing to do with religion.


That's exactly why I say the longer people like Assad are still in power, more and more innocent people will die.

I don't think you really understand the Arab Spring when you say stuff like that.


You are right on that point. Maybe I lack a deeper understanding on that issue. Will go read it up though. But as per what I know, that's supposedly where the Muslim people launch a demonstration and protest. What we're seeing in the Middle East now like in Syria where Assad is willing to sacrifice the lives of his own people in order to stay in power. What I understand from this is that it's the rulers or leaders that are refusing to relinquish their power. Look at Japan, the public have been protesting since the last couple of years against what they perceive as a weak leadership and government. There's no bloodshed because the leader realized that he's no longer in favor and thus opts to resign and hand power to a new leader. My point is, there has not been enough effort from the U.N. in dealing with the Arab Springs and Israel-Hamas issue. In my opinion, a serious and concrete effort should be in place to solve this issue. I know as Kofi Annan had said that it was quite impossible to solve the issues in Syria but I believe where there's a will there's a way. Look at the oil rich nations like UAE and Qatar, they're one of the richest and peaceful Middle East countries. Yet all they care about is the development of their own countries and buying football clubs. They should attempt to assert themselves as the leading lights of the Arab League and actually try to do something.

In truth, not to be anything offensive there's just something about the Muslim world which intrigues. The Muslim's in the Middle East have been seeking peace for years. They preach the word of peace and continues to tell the world that Muslim's is the best religion and what not. They say their way of life is much better. Yet they continue to fight among themselves. Syria, Egypt, Libya & Bahrain are perfect examples. Is that the way they seek peace and a better life? They're killing each other for heaven's sake!! Look at the Muslim's from the Middle East living in the West or in Asia, they're the once really at peace with their life. They choose to leave the Middle East and venture West to escape the problem's in their own country and are now enjoying the benefits living in the West. Sure, there's some racist comments or issues hurled at them every once in a while, but's that becoming fewer and fewer these days. I'm not saying that Muslim's or Islam is bad but I just want to point out the fact that the Muslim's in the Middle East should stop their infighting and take a good hard look at themselves. Start becoming the beacon of peace and harmony they were born to be. We'll see less fighting in the world especially in the Middle East and then maybe we might just get a solution to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Apologies in advance if I sound to racist or offensive or have offended anyone with this post.

Israel has Iron Dome. They have zero reason to send in troops or fire in rockets knowing it will kill innocent people.


Ah, this brings up just one simple question. Since everybody, including Hamas knows that Israel poses the Iron Dome, why on earth fire rockets at Israel knowing that it'll most likely end up being intercepted by the Iron Dome? Hamas just wants to provoke Israel & Israel is just waiting to be provoked. & thus, you have your bloodshed.

You say this but Hamas were democratically voted into power by the Palestinian people by saying they would fight back. It was in their mission statement and some Palestinians have gone on video to say they feel safer under Hamas than previous regimes. Hamas are doing what they always said they would do and the people know this as they voted for it.


Yes they did. Whether they are starting to regret that decision or not remains to be proven but it is clear that their decision is one of the main reasons for this bloodshed. Again, I'm not saying that it's entirely Hamas's fault. Israel has to take the fair share of the blame as well. Whether its for self-defense or for whatever the reasons, the fact that Israel fired back rockets and killed many Palestinians makes them a guilty party too. Of course it would be easy to conclude that Israel are just firing back in retaliation or that Hamas fires rockets in a bid to reclaim Palestine's lost lands. It's no longer about whose right or wrong here. Both are equally guilty regardless of which side is more. What the UN and Arab League have to do is to control Iran and stop them supplying Hamas with weapons and rockets. The Arab League has to be tough with Hamas and the Obama if he really wants to show that he's a leader for all and a different US President must start distancing the US from Israel. Get tough with them . So far we've keep hearing of ceasefire talks, reconciliations talks and a two state thing. It's all bullshit as we know perfectly well that it won't work. How many ceasefires have there been? How many reconciliations talk have there been? Many and yet here we are today with the bloodshed still continuing.

Interesting point but what about the decades before Hamas?


well, that's all in the past right? I understand that the past still lingers among many Israelis and Palestinians, many of them feel affected and still relate heavily to it. Which is something Hamas is using to his benefit. Honestly however, if you ask a Palestinian if they rather a close one die just so that Palestine reclaims their lands, they would rather not have those lands back. Hamas's dream of reclaiming back those lost lands is one of the main cause of the many Palestinians death. The world blames Israel because it's their rockets which are killing the Palestinians. Hamas is still very much in power and influential because unfortunately the Muslim's in the Middle East are not united. Iran is still strongly in Hamas's side while certain countries like UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia are just to preoccupied with developing their own countries. Add that to those like Syria and Egypt who are still fighting among themselves the Arab League is very much weak and can't deal with Hamas and the Israel-Palestine conflict in a proper and effective way. A strong and united Arab League would have pressured Hamas into stepping down long ago. Iran won't be supplying Hamas with the rockets and Israel would actually think twice before firing at Palestine.

It's both sides to blame really. But in the case of Palestine, it's not their fault, it's Hamas...the fact that chokosc refers to the Hamas really says it all. Palestinians just want to leave peacefully without the problems of war. Hamas on the other hands just wants to take back "lost lands". In reality, if Hamas would stop firing missiles into Israel, I doubt there would be any firing from Israel. If there were, then Israel is in the wrong. What most people around the world have been feed to is the pictures of thousands of Palestinians being killed or injured. The fault is then being put on Israel but never on Hamas who is the instigator. I'm not saying it's right for Israel to fire into Palestine but clearly Hamas doesn't share the dreams of the many Palestinians. I feel for the Palestinians that die and wish we would have an end to all this. If the Muslims would stop fighting among themselves, we might actually see a united front where they deal directly with Hamas and save Palestine from his acts. Again, I'm not actually taking sides here but just want to see a peaceful end to this.
