Different Ways to Play – The Head Coach

Comments 2 Comments

Playing Football Manager is a wonderfully unique and personable way of escaping the pressures of real life. You have the opportunity to sculpt a trophy winning behemoth out of your local non-league side or to continue the dynasty of your favourite La Liga galácticos. Players can adopt a ‘Journeyman’ approach, jumping from job to job in different nations or they could look to emulate the career path of a managerial icon such as Sir Alex Ferguson. These different ways to…

Guide to the 4-2-4 Tactic in Football Manager 2022

Guide to the 4-2-4 Tactic in Football Manager 2022

Comments 1 Comment

A big reason for this guide is the feeling the 4-2-4 tactic is unappreciated, certainly when compared to the more popular tactics in Football Manager 2022.

As this is my first tactical guide, I wish to show you the very tactic that has brought me success so far in FM22. Let’s dive in! 4-2-4: The Preset…

However, there’s always one pretty good player that gets left out because they don’t fit in with exactly how I want to set up. That player then…

Done Deal – Contract Negotiation in Football Manager

Done Deal – Contract Negotiation in Football Manager

Comments 1 Comment

Whenever we hear about a new signing to be made in real life or when we’re looking for players to add to our team in FM, the focus of the matter is always on the transfer fee. However, the amount of money interchanged between clubs is hardly the only economic part of the deal; clubs also have to settle on a contract with the player. That’s why it’s every bit as important to secure a good deal on both negotiation…
