Thanks for that gentlemen. I don't mind the game being a little slower but don't want it to crash, so I'll stick to the recommended 50000 players and ten leagues with the first divisions in each.

What effect on the game will exceeding the recommended amount of players have? For instance, with ten leagues the amount of players, in my save is 51000.

Some years ago Miles stated the to play FM you can either do as little as you wish or get really deep into the tactics/formations of the game. Now that the game has really moved on to what it is now is that still possible? I'm wondering if it is possible to use any one of the presets 'as is' and by adjusting only the mentality section of the tactics have some success or do you have to get into the tactics, formations, team instructions and player instructions to have some success?

I started with the first Domark game came out, whenever that was. I seem to recall a game called Football Director was around about the same time and one called Ultimate Soccer, I think. There were one or two others as well. I've got everyone of the various Football Manager games and FM 19 is my current one. I'm now 77 years old and still at it.

Thanks chaps.

two...does anyone use it? For instance, advice given during a match, such as,'we ought to get the team to pass longer/shorter' etc. Also, does anyone play according to the pre match odds? This year after some time now, I've started to use the pre match odds as a guide as to which tactics I should use. I've only played four league matches and have Huddersfield Town in fourth position with won two and drawn two. I'm using the in game tactics/formations as is, only altering the choices in game depending on who I'm playing. I'm not sure as to how long Huddersfield can remain in the top six or seven in the league though.

It was a well mannered request. I suggest you get some manners too.

stevemc. it seems that the managers do not work in FMT. Not to worry. However I would like to have the 'long team names' for FMT if you are able to do them and have them downloaded using Mediafire please.

OK, stevemc. I'll download one of them and see what transpires.

Am I correct in assuming that all these will only work in FM19 but not on FMT?

… Since the Twelve Steps Guide was first posted the game seems to have evolved way beyond them. Therefore, is it possible to still build a successful tactic/s around them or are they now obsolete?

Thank you Knap, I'll give your suggestion a try.

Knap, which tactic/s do you believe might be the best for a Newcastle United save, muchly thankings?

To Knap and warlock. EUREKA!!! I'm as thick as Angus McThick of Thicktown. Muchly thankings for yout time and assistance.

Done that bit the tactics do not appear in the 'load' screen. Here is what the message reads, Adobe reader could not open 'tactics name' because it is either not supported file type or it has been damaged or sent as an email and wasn't decoded properly. I'm going to delete the tactics and re download them and start over. Thanks for trying to help me.
