    Playing a 4-2-3-1 formation at the moment but my strikers are feeding off scraps as my attacking midfielders keep taking all their chance themselves. Not sure if it's their fault or is it down to my striker not getting into the right positions. I'm averaging 20 shots a game but not getting the goals to go with the chances. What's the best tactic to get my striker more involved (poacher, etc)? I have Quintero, Necid, Traore, and Lukaku at my disposal.

    Play into box as a quick tactic thing, play through defence too

    are you using either of these?

    you could always man manage your midfield and make the shoot from distance option wayyyy down

    Got the game yesterday, haven't really had much time to get into yet. Does anyone know if there are any kit packs for the League of Ireland. I can't seem to find any. Thanks.

    How exactly does the Belgian second division work?

    I've just been told that I have qualified for the play offs at least. I'm 19 points clear of 5th, but there are still 36 points to play for? I can still finish as low as 13th! How have I sealed a play off spot already?

    I dunno man is there a PL(or PO I can't remember) symbol beside your team on the league table?,all I see in the rules section pretty much adds up to what you've said

    Promotion:Teams placed 2nd-4th may qualify for Promotion Playoff depending on winners of the three periods

    Had a crap start to the season but managed to pull it back. Didn't get into pole position until the 4th or 3rd last game of the season!

    What season is that Mars Bar? Say it'd be a long time before Waterford, Dundalk, Limerick and Cork make up the top 4 in the table in real life!!

    Limerick are always near the top for me. Cork not far behind. Bohs and Pats usually get relegated in the first few seasons :pac:

    Sligo seem to win the league most in my games. Well, the ones where I'm not in the LOI :D

    And yeah, Pats always get relegated in it. :(

    Sligo and Rovers do be up there too. Usually a four horse race that Rovers nearly always win.

    Just looked at my manager stats and it says three promotions. I've only had two? I've had two play off appearances, but neither resulted in promotion. Where did the third one come from? Do Youth teams count?

    I give up... I'm in my 6th season with my 4th team, 27th overall :/ 1000+ hours again :o Have won everything there is at this stage bar the WC. Which I find quite odd as I've managed to win it in the past 3/4 FM games.

    Can anyone suggest an international team for me to take to WC glory?

    1000+ wow! I'm just starting my 7th season after 60hrs but I've had 4 promotions in 6 seasons so going pretty well :)
    Depends really how much of a challenge you want for the world cup,what team ranking would you be happy to take over? between what numbers like

    I imagine the easiest way of doing that would be to take control of a san marino club as well,then try to nationalise a few foreigners while improving facilties at your club to try and bring through some youth

    Its the only way without using a custom database to add a San Marino league. For my money it is the hardest challenge in the game.
