Could you screenshot so I can see roles etc? That's pretty much what I've been playing but not working at all.

Hi guys,

Trying a save with Leeds but I'm really struggling with tactics. I've tried the preset gegenpress 4141 and tiki taka 4141 but can't seem to get anything working. Only won once in the league and even lost to Salford in the cup. I've found tactics really difficult for the last couple of FMs now and am starting to fall out of love with the game. Any advice/ideas would be much appreciated! I play touch btw if that makes a difference.

Hi guys,

I am playing a game as Wolves and have got back to back promotions to get into the Premier League. I play a 4-2-3-1 formation with a ball winning and central midfielder, two wingers and a shadow striker and a false nine. It has scored me a lot of goals but in the Championship I also conceded a lot. I have always enjoyed lots of possession and created a lot of chances through using a control mentality. I have tried to use this in the Premiership but as my squad is a lot weaker than most of the other teams I am struggling. I have tried tweaking the tactic to play a bit deeper and try to counter attack more but I am still conceding too many goals. Does anyone have any good advice for playing against higher quality opposition or anything that has worked well for them with lower Premiership teams? Thanks.

Hi,
I have just started a game as Leeds and feel that I have a squad capable of a playoff finish, however, I just can't seem to get any tactics to work. I have lost my first 5 games of the season and am 2nd bottom, only scoring 3 goals in those games. I have mainly been trying a 4-5-1 formation, at home trying to play attacking football and retain possession, but away from home playing more direct, counter attacking football. Nothing seems to be working for me though, and could do with some advice, particularly regarding the team and player instruction buttons, which I haven't managed to get to grips with yet. If anyone has any advice or ideas for tactics that could work well for me in the Championship, it would be much appreciated. My job depends on it!

Thanks

A couple of questions. Firstly, what has been done with regards club reputation? Will this remain realistic, for example, Messi, Ronaldo etc. will only join the top clubs or would you have a good chance of signing these players with say Villa or Swansea or even a lower league club? Secondly, I have done these free transfer database games in the past and have found that a lot of other clubs don't seem to sign enough players to make a decent sized squad, or don't compete for the top players. This has previously made these games extremely simple as it easy to bring in all the top players. Definitely a good, fun idea though and am considering giving this a go.

My previous attempt turned out to be a disaster, so I have restarted but this time have chosen to manage Chester rather than start unemployed. Her is a screenshot of my manager profile.

I have decided to give this challenge a go. Here is my manager screenshot, I have started unemployed.

Cheers for this guys, Destro is a bit out of my price range (15M+), Ademilson looks to have good potential but current ability is only 2 stars. I need someone I can put straight into the team now really, would he be good enough yet? Any other ideas will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
I am managing Leeds and am currently in my 3rd season and am in the Premiership. I play a 4-3-3 formation with AML/R playing as inside forwards and one lone striker. I generally play Vaclav Kadlec up front and last season (also in the premiership) he scored 15 goals in 29 games (missed 3 months through injury). However, this season he has managed only 5 goals in 23 games and his performances have been very poor. Neither of my other strikers (Emiliano Alfaro and Ross McCormack) have cut it and I desperately need to bring someone in in January. Does anyone know of any quality strikers that play well up front on their own? I have around 10 million to spend. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for that mate, thats great. Just wondered what you did with regards the likes of Tom Lees and Sam Byram, did you use them in your first team? Interested to know how they develop.

Just wondered what 11 you generally used with Leeds? I have tried a game as them but am really struggling, neither McCormack or Becchio seem to work well in the lone striker role.

Cheers
