I'm coming towards the end of a season with Liverpool and Ive lost two games all season - one early on and one FA cup game where I had to field a bunch of kids. Just put 6 past PSG at Anfield in the CL. Feels like I've found a cheat too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Rubin Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I've been using 4231 gengen press with my Hibs save. Currently, in season 24/25 and have won the league 3 times, League cup 4 times and Scottish cup once. Europe wise I'm normally losing in the quarters of the CL. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I was trying out different tactics to start depending on my team. For part time teams I didn't want to do gegenpress, despite its success with bigger teams, as I thought it would knacker my teams so went more direct. I tried counter attacking or cantenaccio when I was a smaller team away to a bigger team. The results were always shite. For every game, for every team, home or away, gegenpress. That tactic alone seems like a bit of a cheat. The only adjustments I make is whether I play with a DMC or AMC with my two MCs, how attacking my full backs are and whether both or only one of my wide players are inside forwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it with Leverkusen in the beta and was skooshing the Bundesliga.Much like yourself I thought the gegenpress would be too complex/testing for the level of player I had so I never even tried it in the national leagues. In past versions of the game I've always had most success keeping it really simple with a part-time or non-league outfit. As I make my way up the leagues I tend to gradually introduce the more detailed and complex tactics but this year may well be different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 So by the sounds of this I should try a gegenpress strategy. I've been using Wing Play in most of my saves and with my Billericay save I went the same but with a 4-4-2, the results were absolute garbage, 9 points from my first 8 games (with the biggest budget in my division). I switched to a 4-1-4-1 fluid counter-attack and have won 2 straight including a 5-1 pumping of Dartford. which as a former Ebbsfleet shareholder made me quite happy. Problem I now have is having 4 senior strikers on the books but only using 1 of them each match. Plus a bunch of unhappy wingers on big wages that I can't move. Oh and shite defenders, although I just picked up a veteran no-nonsense CB from Boreham Wood 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonHMFC Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Just started the UK League database, yet again going Ross County. Fair to say, think the Scottish sides are going to struggle a bit... Getting this message when trying to submit a team, if I take out my subs and leave three or so there seems to be no issue, as far as I am aware they are all trained by the club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Thoroughly enjoying@AsimButtHitsASix Scottish league system.Moved Stenhousemuir down to Division 2 to give me more time to build. Now pushing for a top flight place after 4 seasons. The additional league prize money is ideal but not ridiculous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Good season that. Got absolutely destroyed in the cup final, which was annoying, and my best player is away to Poland for next season, but still. Looked like I was going to get European football as cup runners up, but Fjolnir managed to go from 2nd to 6th in the last 2 weeks of the season... The under 19's did well too, which is nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Nearly made a complete arse of Billericay, was on the verge of the sack, needed 10 points from 15 and then lost and drew meaning I needed to win my next 3 games. Switched to a 4-4-2 gegenpress and never looked back winning all my remaining games and getting promoted via the playoffs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Received this as a gift yesterday. After the 3rd attempt trying to install in (steam not accepting the product code and blocking me out, even though I have the fucking disc), I finally managed to have a quick shot. First impressions are the layout is horrific, don't know why they need to f**k about with the game every year. This is the first version on my pc that is struggling to run, so I need to update the graphics card. StMirren are actually better than I thought they were going to be but I can't terminate any of the loans, assuming till January, so i am pretty much stuck with what I have got. Far from impressed, I am just glad I didn't spend over £30 on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Deciding to start a new save after not playing in a few weeks. Thinking of going Sunderland and trying to rebuild them. Has anyone started one with them, and if so, any tips? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 I am stuck in a loop with one of my players. He wants to go on loan but then turns down the loan deal to stay at the club and then asks to go loan then turns the deal down ...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put 6 past PSG at Anfield in the CL. Feels like I've found a cheat too! I started a game with Man Utd and have adopted a geggenpressing 4-3-3 which has resulted in me not losing a competitive game yet this season (I'm in January). It looks a little something like this - I just tweak it a little bit, sometimes moving the DM into the midfield to make a flat midfield or playing a CAM in a 4-2-3-1. --------------GK---------------- WB (S) CB (D) CB (D) WB (S) ------------DLP (D)----------- ------BBM (S)------AP(A)------ --IF (A)----------------IF (A)-- -----------CF (A)---------- De Gea has kept alot of clean sheets and the worst things that have happened so far are a run of disappointing draws against teams that I really should have beaten, but a couple of minor tweaks of my tactic and we're running again. Highlights of my tenure so far are skelping Liverpool 4-1, beating Man City 1-0 in the league and horsing Juventus 5-1 in the Champions League group stage. As someone who was never particularly good with the in-depth tactical interface, I welcomed the addition of "styles" to use as starting points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think theyve got the loan rules wrong, certainly for Scotland. Theres a maximum of 5 in the squad but Im pretty sure this shouldnt include loans from other countries, as these are technically transfers. I've just let a player go thinking I had a couple of loan options to bring in as replacements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
