I always have loaned players as backup. So I don't care if he is pissed off, his contract expires at the end of the season. Sometimes you have older experienced but poor quality players available for free I get him on a one year contract.

Yes I know, but when I lose the ball, I am simply unable to win it back until a goal kick. The defensive mids stand their gawping while lazy attacking passes roll past them. The defenders happily show the attacker inside rather than actually trying to win the ball back.

In fact I don't really have the pacy defenders to play a very high line, nor have my teams the creative talent to unlock compressed defenses. I am forced to play with a middlingly high line. If I play counter attack, see first para.

So you have a crap players and your team loses to teams with more quality? I'm not really surprised.

Defensive midfielders with anticipation, concentration and positioning 15+ are not "crap" players.

What about marking, tacking, jumping, heading, bravery, work rate, strength?

After months of neglect, yesterday I've started a new career.

As always, Juventus.

As always, the addiction has returned, worse than ever.

I'm trying a tactic that reflects the one Conte has been using with excellent results this year, i.e. a 3-5-2 with Pirlo as a defensive playmaker floating between the defense and midfield lines. This can be easily shifted to a 5-3-2 if I'm in need of more cover on the flanks, simply by moving the lateral midfielders one step back towards my defense line.

I just played some friendlies, but I've snatched a 1-1 draw at Milan's that is quite a good result.

Stats nothing to do with interceptions. (Apart from work rate; though tacking I'd worry more about for Americas Cup Manager)

I sold my young midfield star player for €3M + €2M for appearances to Lille, 10 seconds later I fired his father as assistant manager.

I immediately hired Sidnei Lobo (the brazil assistant manager) to fill his spot. I'm a bastard, I know.

Well, isn't it obvious, you were completely incidental to the club's success.

I suggest playing lots of friendlies against incompetent opposition and score shitloads of goals making the board happy. If any of your rivals are in a lower league, play them.

Adaptability, Determination and Discipline are important generally.

Man management is important for advice on backroom meetings
JPA and JCA are important for assessing players as well as assessing potential in youngsters
Motivating is important if you don't do your own teamtalks.

I just noticed that Bendtner was topscorer in the premier league 2015/16 in my recent game. Completely ruins immersion. :(
