for myself it's not bad, but every summer there's another team out there that seems to find a hidden gem that my world class scouts couldn't seem to pick up on. there's a kid that Barcelona just signed, i swear his attributes are all at 18 or higher. He's amazing and only cost them 15 million pounds. Am a litle shocked still.

It took me my first season to figure out how my team could play. I've always managed to figure out a favourable formation and tactics through every footy manager game. I prefer either a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formation like Real Madrid play. But getting the players to change is hard too. You need to stick with it and figure out a way that the team can play well together. And once you get the chance, buy players that will be able to play that formation.

I started with buying two quality centre backs that could hold the fort down with my anchor man, the rest fitted into place there after.

I would have to agree with you there buddy! I've been playing pretty much non stop since i got the game and gotten to season 13 now, but from day one, anyone that i had in my team when it came to wanting a new contract with a year or two left on their existing contract, wanted wages in excess of 200k per week. I'm playing as Chelsea, and i like to keep an order of the wages and earning money etc. You could say i'm a shrewd spender and try to buy british where possible. But they all want ridiculous wages to stay and play for the club. Yet, when i sell them, they drop down to more realistic wage demands or go for less than i was originally paying them.

Even some new signings do that too, want huge wages just to join cause i'm a big club that's winning a few things.

Transfer fees are pretty decent as i also get them when i sell big players, but the wage demands are irritating.
