Ok, so after building my Barnsley team over the space of a decade by using a methodical passing style, I decided I fancied a change to mix things up. I have purchased some mega quick players(pace and acceleration all 17 plus, with good dribbling and crossing for the wide players), but I'm struggling to get things to work the way I envisaged. For simplicity, I've gone for a basic 4-2-3-1 set up, with the wide players as W(a), a Shadow Striker and Complete Forward. I have the fullbacks on support duty, and have set my passing to be more direct, the defence to drop deeper(with a counter attacking style) and a quicker tempo. The problem I am having is my attacking quartet isn't getting any breakaways to take advantage of their searing pace. Can anyone help me implement this sort of a style? Thanks in advance...

Hi all, I've played FM/CM since the 'told CM2(i think) on the Amiga 500. Thing is though, I've never tried to replicate another managers style of play. But after watching Pep's devastatingly good Man City team this year, I'd like to see if I can get a team on FM playing like they do. Trouble is, barring the basic team shape, I haven't got a clue where to start with the team or player setting(or OI's). Can one of you tactical geniuses help me get my team playing like the current City team? Thanks in advance...

Hello all! I'm a long term CM/Fm player(my first was either CM Italia or the standard English version on the old Amiga 500, can't remember which was first), and sunk what must be thousands of hours into the series over the years. Unfortunately, despite buying the game every year, the amount of time I can dedicate to it has dropped massively so I struggle to make the best out of some of the features. One of the features that I'm lost with is the new "Briefing" tool. I've had some positive feedback from the players, but mostly just get the message that says I didn't get much reaction from the players. Would it be possible for someone to help me(and others that may be in the same boat) get the best out of the feature, it would be massively appreciated and I'd owe you a digital pint or two
