Don't go stabbing people in the back, breh.
Losing coaches in FM sucks.
people are coming from all around the globe for this tale of woe and betrayal
Dean lost to Swansea and told me about it
Then I saw him playing the same fixture
Fucking cunt

Be a man and trawl through the coaches list looking for a replacement.
Or Add New Manager to Newcastle and sack him, either are acceptable.
It seems to easy this year.
Light the 'Quiche signal.
Haha Batongen
Hope that's not too long of a ban, bit harsh on the lad
edit: just watched the cup game, first half was encouraging, second half less so, but when they went down i thought the response was decent. Balo with a good finish and good shelvey bants but right after the goal he had a shit cross, a shit shot and a slightly less but still shit free kick.

4 back, 1 defensive midfielder, one CM with good marking stats, an all rounder CM, a playmaker, one AMC, one striker.
Or sometimes a diamond like Man Utd uses for home games. Have tight marking, short passing toggled on.

I've met evilore and he's a pretty alright dude.
The flack he gets is a bit sad, but then again that is the nature of the internet.
My personal favourite "fuck you" from FM is the sending off, injured star player and 2-nil down in 8mins in the 2nd leg of the Europa or Champs. League.
I'm playing as Bradford. 4-3-3, one DM. 11th after 16 games, 3 points off the play offs. I can't really get my finger on why it isn't going better.
Batongen said he was nice but did something weird
pls
permanent banning
no escape from reality
wes pls
One DM? Pls. Who are you, Pep? 4-2-3-1 is where is at.
Buy Højbjerg and embrace the CL trophy

Awful cunt.
I should elaborate a bit more. Have two saves going. One is with Tranmere in league 2. Lost plenty of games with them. The other is my United save. Despite having no top class defenders I have the best defence in the league and my midfield usually dominates despite containing either Fellaini and Nainggolan; neither or whom are great passers of the ball. I have a great set of forwards and that's about it. Very strange that everything is so easy.
As for tactics I use a narrow 4-2-1-3. Flat back 4 with Shaw and Rafael playing as attacking fullbacks, Nainggolan as a ball winner in midfield with Herrera an advanced midfielder. Mata or Januzaj play as an enganche, RVP is the False 9 and Falcao/Wilson the poacher.
Tactics are high tempo and pressing to win the ball quickly with Herrera going wide to provide width when necessary. Seems to be working well as RVP has about 30 goals already. He's only picked up 1 injury so far too. Rather odd because in every other instalment of the games he's a permacrock.

Make sure your players play well together. I try to have everyone at least 'fairly determined' and/or professional. Not worth it buying someone with a higher stat if they have inconsistent performances or a diff. mindset than the rest of your players.
Oh if your star players were REALLY shit, tell them after a game, or motivate them if they're new and you know they were just nervous.
He is in mine. Wilson is really good though.
Best buys so far? Tielemans and Javi Martinez. Javi scored a hat trick in his first game and he's a DM. God.
I don't often see you in footy-gaf, so, hello Messi!

Seeing as I am full time professional FM player, I have done two seasons on my Watford save already. In my first season a bunch of players were really unhappy cause I just told them to fuck off, when they demanded to leave or have a new contract, second season a little better although my squad was too large still. Now I feel like it's going good.
and the best result of the season

Have yet to play the new FM so interested to know how you can make players go wide. Is this a new feature? Back in OG CM it was great to right-click to create arrows to tell players where to go.
