kbb33 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 For me, its always trying to use tactics that were successful in older saves. Started with Dover and ran a 4-1-4-1 Striker scored 35 goals in our season (Stefan Payne), led the league with the next closest being 24. Then I went onto Wrexham when I finished my Dover save. Tried to force use 4-1-4-1...did not work, at all. I learned the hard way finishing my first season 10th. Switched it up to 5-4-1 with Automatic wingbacks, counter attacking was great and we ended up getting promoted! So tell me, whats your biggest gaffes in FM!

spankie Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I always mess up the first pre-season so I have some players not match fit. It wasn't so bad this time as most first team players were match fit. Only some late signings, players returning for injury and players promoted to the first team because of injuries weren't match fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raniel3 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Playing with the formation the team is using (successfully) in real life and not changing it when it obviously doesn't work in FM... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansongs Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I always sell my 30 year old "past it" players and replace them with kids with great potential, and then wonder why results get worse. This year I'm making a vow not to sign any teenagers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treble_yell_:-) Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Signing too many players and messing up squad balance every summer. Panicking and changing tactics during bad spells. Over complicating tactics. Paying too much for megabucks marquee signings then realising I don't need them and they don't fit my system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roykela Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Seeing that one opportunity to rebuild my squad with new players, when the current old players, while still good and valuable, are about to start getting worse. Clubs still interested and i'm getting a few bids. I'm getting players in to replace them but when transfer deadline is here, i haven't sold a player. The beginning of a financial melt-down. Or the complete opposite. I sell the players but the players i try to get to the club somehow delays everything on transfer deadline day and are too late signing the contract, make up their minds or the clubs not accepting in time. The beginning of squad management hell. Happens at some point with every club i'm at, long-term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Dave Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Leaving my youth keeper in for the next league game after playing him in the cup is my favourite blunder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbb33 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Leaving my youth keeper in for the next league game after playing him in the cup is my favourite blunder. I've done this many a times. Was quite confused when my keeper who gave up a league low goals had conceded 3 in one half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunmaN1905 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Leaving my youth keeper in for the next league game after playing him in the cup is my favourite blunder. Same here, that's why I instantly switch back to my first choice GK as soon as the game ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz13 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Always trying to manage Barca even though I know seemingly no matter what I do they hemorrhage money each and every season and it's impossible to add a money spinning affiliate club to their ranks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
