Skyson1872 2,923 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Got offered an absolute gem by a free agent, 18 year old with 5 star potential, only cost 100k. 15 dribbling, 17 flair, all physicals around 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD.1872 890 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Anyone going into the second season with us, look out for Rachid Ghezzal from Lyon. Managed to get him on a free and punt him for £13m a year later. Also Andrei Ivan who turned into to one of the best players in FM16 has a £3.4m release clause, can play anywhere up front and on the wings. Him and Ongenda just took me to the CL knockouts in our first season back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_gazza 1,065 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Just started my 2nd season last night. Punted Waghorn to Bolton for 2m as he took the huff & all the squad turned against me when I told him he wasn't for sale. Managed to sign Zelalam again from Arsenal, Javi Garcia from Man City & Tammy Abrahim from Chelsea all on loan, picked up Dan Crowley on a free & signed 3 15 year olds to put into my youth team. Still got about 1/1.5m left need a new CB & LB to cover for Wallace. Drew FC Copenhagen in the 1st qualifying round in the CL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post what I use later on tonight mate. I lost more or less every pre season game and struggled in the group stages of the LC but because I'd been using the same formation(s) in training and games, it eventually stuck. It can get tedious, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Soprano 13,964 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 4-2-3-1 and 4-1-3-1-1 is what I use but with a few instructions and different player roles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
