pione sisto looks a brilliant player, credit to the scouts at SI for rating him so highly in FM, surely a big club will snap him up in the summer after that performance...
my earliest memories of soccer games were on the mega drive with the fifa games, i also had a game called world championship soccer on mega drive, it was very primitive but i enjoyed it at the time. my next console after mega drive was n64, the only socce...
i was so confused when i saw a 24 year old joao moutinho, took me a minute to realise he must be a regen haha
By Blinky | On 14 February 2016 - 18:35 PM GMTThe problem I had with dropping the Ball Winner is I read that it isn't suitable to a defensive roll as it's not disciplined enough - but Granero and Lambertz before him get ridiculous high ratings w...
well changing to attacking would be the obvious thing to do, it doesn't really matter how many shots or how much posession you have, the clear cut chances stat is what you need to look at, if your tactic is not creating clear cut chances then you wil...
absolutely gutted for leicester, so close yet so far, for me they win that game if not for the red card. still, they have a nice run of fixtures now so it is not over for them, they just need to put todays game out of there minds...
if your one of the best teams in the league in terms of quality of players then lesser opponents will set out defensively at your place and sit deep, counter strategy is not suitable for those kind of games , i reccommend a more attacking strategy in the...
depay's fm16 stats are looking more and more ridiculous by the day, he has been atrocious this season...
By Iico | On 13 February 2016 - 11:07 AM GMTTry to train him as ball playing defender because passing is one of the most important abilities of the role.
yes thats what i have started doing now...
By Tyrion Lannister | On 06 February 2016 - 01:36 AM GMTtraining isn't rocket science! I only train people in their field or in the area that I want them to play in.
i am well aware that training is not rocket science thanks, i have been setting up t...
By La Masia | On 09 February 2016 - 10:07 AM GMTIs there something I am missing here.
I want to loan transfer listed Borja Valero.
Fiorentina want 100% of his wages PLUS 240k per month
I don't understand, am I incredibly stupid? Not only do they w...
By Topher | On 08 February 2016 - 19:58 PM GMTI've had struggles, and found the best thing to do is really really use your Assistant Manager. On the team selection page, click the shiny new match tactics advice button (near top right on the standard...
after next week they have a really nice run of fixtures, i actually think they are going to do it
By gaz12321 | On 04 February 2016 - 13:57 PM GMTI'm starting to realise there is no point doing anything in FM16, players just whinge about everything possible and even when there is the option to interact they always end up threatening to turn the s...
well at least i am not alone in feeling this way, i am probably going to get sacked as united manager, i will just have to have a hard look at things and see where i can do better. i have never had such a hard time with previous fm games, fm16 has been a...
By VincentDesrd | On 05 February 2016 - 23:07 PM GMTI just recently started playing FM 2016 after a 2 year break and I gotta say it's way way harder than it was when I was playing 2011, 2012, 2013... I can see the effects on my players when I change...
just look at this shit, how do i lose this, my opponents somehow manage to score 2 goals with 0 clear cut chances, the game hates me i swear there has to be some scripting going on with this game, it cannot be down to luck when this keeps happenin...
By Ipswich Knights | On 05 February 2016 - 04:02 AM GMTjust go back to basics. play with no team instructions or player instructions.
what do you do away from home? it seems impossible to get the balance right between attacking and defending, i can set up...
i feel like chucking the towel in with fm16, its just too hard when it comes to tactics, it feels like you have to get your tactics absolutely spot on perfect every single game just to stand half a chance. even when you feel like you did everything in you...
A number of my players are complaining about the individual training i have assigned them to, they say it is not beneficial. For example I am trying to get smalling to improve his passing, but he claims that this is not beneficial, I find this baffling be...
what the hell is wrong with west brom, just let him go you muppets, that is a more then generous offer, i don't understand why they are being so stubborn about it...
i am convinced that sometimes the game just decides not to let you win on a particular day, i find myself many times shouting at my strikers ''how can you miss that you absolute weapon, how many chances do you need''. my other half thi...
By brabbn | On 29 January 2016 - 11:22 AM GMTSeason long loan deals cannot be recalled unless you are in a transfer window. Also any loan where the team has paid a fee upfront prevents you from recalling the player.
thanks for repeating what i already sai...
By JustJackTheLad | On 27 January 2016 - 12:21 PM GMTAlright guys,
I'm in limbo over what to do in my future FM career. I've just finished the end of the 3rd season with Blackburn Rovers.
1st season - Playoff semi - Lost
2nd season - won leagu...
By Topher | On 26 January 2016 - 21:41 PM GMTWe've all been there. Player is unhappy, and wants to leave. Offer him for transfer for silly money, and no offers.
Then you see the box - Ask <player> to speak to clubs.
Click it, and have a playe...
By Tyrion Lannister | On 24 January 2016 - 20:49 PM GMTRB Salzburg have great resources and as such should generate a healthy youth team. plus they must have some disgruntled second stringers you can take advantage of. I would be happy with them as a pare...
for all intents and purposes fc liefering are red bull's reserve team, just like barcelona have a b team that are not allowed to play in the same division, so no, there is nothing you can do about that unless you use the editor. you can remove the &#...
disgraceful performance, thats as bad as we have been all season, looked like we didn't want to win the game and were happy to take a 0-0...
By One Night In Grimsby | On 21 January 2016 - 20:37 PM GMTSo I typically play a standard 4-4-2 with my teams, especially lower league, simple and easy to understand. I usually go with a ball winning midfielder role (on defend) and a centre midfielder rol...
hey stephen, don't i recognise you from full time devils? nice to see you on this forum dude, good luck with the playthrough
By Ipswich Knights | On 08 December 2015 - 12:50 PM GMTDo you find that makes a big difference ??? If so I might have to give it a go
i retrain players to new positions all the time, in my southamption save i retrained wanyama to be a centre back instead,...
By gaz12321 | On 18 January 2016 - 12:13 PM GMTNo, slightly deep.
I've tried changing their roles to cover instead of defend which seems to have made improvements in the last few games, only other thing I can think to do is play an anchor man in fr...
By Weiry | On 18 January 2016 - 03:30 AM GMTI haven't played yet only holidayed and took over a few big clubs to see what their expectations are so not sure. I think they would take into account that they have a transfer ban
ok thanks mate, i am defi...
do you play with a high defensive line?
By Ross Robert Ingersoll | On 18 January 2016 - 01:32 AM GMTi know basic stuff. but I enjoy sports games period. Its not that I don't like the sport, I just don't watch it here in the states much. I get the basics. I have been playing fm for ove...
do you understand the basics of the sport regarding formations, playing styles, player positions etc or are you a complete beginner? if you know next to nothing about football you would be better served watching as many real life matches as you can to und...
By Weiry | On 17 January 2016 - 20:48 PM GMTSeason Expectations are fine for example a team like Chelsea are wanting to qualify for the Europa League. Manchester City want a mid table finish. Here is season preview
will the board get annoyed with you fo...
interesting idea, the only problem is if your managing a top club, season expectations will be to compete to win the league but after a few years your squad won't really be better then your rivals unlike you get lucky with youth products, so you will...
By K3VO | On 17 January 2016 - 01:25 AM GMTHonestly I feel like Liverpool could do a lot worse.
klopp likes players with a high rate and shane long really works his socks off, so i could actually see that one happening. klopp has been trying to get bentek...
By One Night In Grimsby | On 15 January 2016 - 20:00 PM GMTMust be a bug then? Or a strange rule that we're not aware of?
if it is a season long loan then i believe you can only recall the player during the transfer window, if it is a short term loa...
last film i went to the cinema to see was focus, the one with will smith. terrible film, i cannot understand the positive reviews for it. for a film about a con artist the cons were a bit rubbish and very far fetched. also unlike other con movies will smi...
i guess you will have to sell a few high earners in january to cut the wage bill to pass ffp, i think you will get points deducted for next season otherwise, i have seen teams get points deducted in my saves...
the manager of distillery must have a tough job on his hands to stop the players turning up drunk to each game, they are probably getting paid in liquor
ok my mistake, the way i look at it if a player was injured at the start of the season in real life it makes sense for him to be injured from the start in the game. also it doesn't feel realistic to have luke shaw available for selection when in real...
WHAT.......A........GAME............ fantastic entertainment tonight, obviously i am disappointed we didn't win, but its a breath of fresh air to see a game like that...
van gaal keeps blaming our style of football on the lack of pacy wingers in the squad, but he has already had 3 transfer windows to sort that out and spent a fortune in those 3 windows, and now he is into a 4th window. if we still don't have any good...
seems a bit wierd to not have any injuries in the game, injuries are part and parcel of football, thats why you need a strong squad, but each to your own, you paid your money you can play the game however you like...
By Tyrion Lannister | On 12 January 2016 - 15:34 PM GMTimgur is by far the best thing to use mate. it is dead easy to use, no fees and unlimited uploads.
thanks a lot mate, i will use try that instead...
