The opposition being able to just lag out games and have results voided when they're losing is a game breaker for me.

quote ResistanceFailure

I think after a certain time in the game, the result should stick. Basically wasted my time for nothing.

Nice plan ... you strike me as a United fan EdinhoGaming amirite?

Just thought I'd make a thread where we could discuss our formations, signings, tips etc.

I've only just started my campaign but I've won my first two games 5-1 & 7-0. These two were both crap players, no doubt, but I noticed that the default formation was great for creating chances. Here's the players I recommend using in what positions (why did they change all the default names?):

------------------------------ Ivyghasek ------------------------------
Paccini --------- El Moughaouet ----- Jacomorac -------- Macovshire
----------------------- Myrheim ---------------- Voleimann -----------
-------------------------------- Gellazca -------------------------------
Heauderbaix --------------------------------------------- Aakoebjerg
-------------------------------- Minandinho ---------------------------

The two holding midfielders are in fact CMFs despite how deep they are - this means you can bring them forward to supplement the attack if required. Gellazca is an attacking mid and the two wingers are wing forwards.

Jacomorac should take all set pieces bar penalties and corners from the left. However if the opponent has a big striker or two you might want to consider playing Richard Harty in his place as Jacomorac is small for a centre half. El Moughaouet is in there for his height, both in defence and at set pieces. Macovshire & Paccini are the best full back options available. You could exchange one of the centre mids for Coynborough but it doesn't really matter, they're in the team to stop attacks through the middle and play it simple.

Gellazca can be exchanged for Castolis at your will but I think the former shades it. The two wing forwards are integral - Aakoebjerg has a powerful and relatively accurate shot for a default and Heauderbaix is very fast (try using the two touch trick that you're taught in training with him, I've used it to good effect so far as opponents seem to like diving in and not backing off like myself). Minandinho is a good option up top but you can always bring him off and bring on Rustwyth in his place as he has devastating shot accuracy.

Bring El Moughaouet and Paccini up for set pieces and most of all, don't dive in unless required. Back off when defending and hold the 2nd man pressure button so you yourself can manually fill any gaps and a CPU player can close down the player in possession. Also remember to click the right analog stick in the direction of players you want to run forward - this can be done with the wing forwards to devastating effect. I also don't recommend placing your shots too often unless you're Rustwyth as he has great shot accuracy. Nearly all of my goals so far have been hammered into the net.

Anyway, let me know your recommended signings/tactics/tips etc. If there's already a thread for this then let me know.
