very deep defensive line, very slow tempo and very narrow width...

sometimes my scouts/coaches come to me before a game with these pieces of advice and, personally, I find them quite useful. However, there are plenty of times when they tell me absolutely nothing! How can I make sure they give me this advice before every single game? Is that possible?

On a side note - way too many yellow cards. Can we fix that please?

Get an assman/coaches/scout with the best TK - Tactical Knowledge possible. You won't get detailed tips for every game though - depends if they have enough knowledge of the opposition to go on.

Getting one of your scouts scouting the opposition may also give you some tips.

I think that the better your Assistant Manager is (Determination, Tactical Knowledge) the more information he will give you. But this info is also given by your coaches, so really try to have the best staff possible.

It really depends on the referees and the league you play. I can have matches with 10 yellow cards and matches with 1. If you see you're getting too many cards, set your tackling to "more cautious".
