10 points clear with a game in hand, lost away to Sheffield United and my fan's are unsure of promotion.

Squad is always knackered with the amount of fixtures aswell, starting to dip into the u21's to make up the numbers.

Yes it's after the update.  The tactics I'm using are attached to this post and they're simple plug and play.  I have good set-pieces for corners, free-kicks, and throw ins.  I signed 3 players at the start of the season:

Luca Ruffini - He's a young LM

Roberto Giardino - He's a 17 year old CDM who is already a beast.

Tommaso Fantacci - Young CAM

Other players to look out for are these guys:

Ernesto Torregrossa - A young striker with 18 for heading and beast stats all round.

Luca Camorani - Young RM

Spark - Young wingback at Dundee United that can cover both sides of the pitch.  Rangers need someone like him to cover Tav and Wallace when you start off.

All of them.  GenieScout is the most powerful tool anyone could use with this game.  Seeing the hidden attributes is one of the best advantages because I know how injury prone or consistent a player is before signing them.  It also allows me to go out and find the freaks - Guys who have insane attributes for heading, passing, tackling, etc.  Or find squad players that can comfortably cover 3 or 4 positons.

Surely it takes the fun out of the game though?

I tend to sign lots of different players at first but then continually go after the same guys that have worked out in the past so the game gets repetitive.  I also found it impossible to find any quality staff members who were willing to join Rangers.  It really did become quite boring and I would've switched off.  GenieScout doesn't pick the tactics and team it just helps identify players and staff.

I don't mind cheating when it's just me against the computer because I'm not ruining the experience for others.  If this was online like Call of Duty and I was fucking people over then I would see it as being a dick move.

Undefeated in my first season and it's a disaster the next year.  Nine games in and I only have nine points.  I've brought in too many young players that aren't currently good enough and it's fucked me.  I'll need to try again :(

Got a bit of a mental save with Southampton on the go at the moment...

Took over in January of the first season with them 20th, 10 points from safety but still in the Europa League.

After a good start in the league, we were utter pish and ended up getting relegated on GD. 

Europe however was a different story, going all the way, pumping Galatasaray 3-0 in the final. 

So now have a team who'll be playing in the group stages of the Champions League despite being in The Championship :lol:

The madness continues! Just beat Real 3-2 in the Supercup after being 2-0 down. Jay Rodriguez with a hat-trick.

CL group of PSG Napoli & Plzen.

Blackpool have been relegated to League Two in my Coventry save but a Lithuanian has bought them for 900k and has promised a transfer kitty of 34.5m.

Joan Laporta of Barca fame, bought Morton in one of my saves. Promised a massive transfer budget of £45k :lol:

Always finish 3rd/4th, he eithers leaves for a job in the championship or gets sacked.

Stevenson always is signed by them and a few youngsters from Livingston and Alloa.

Cheapest I could see is Amazon mate.

 

Tried Greenmangaming, Argos and Steam but they're all asking £34 whereas Amazon is £28.
