Czechlad Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 No matter how attack minded I play, I rarely ever score more than 1 goal a game. Same goes for defense. I've played with 2 defensive mids and I will always concede a goal. I think I had only 2 shut outs all season. The game just doesn't make sense. Bacuna scores off every single free kick and is my top scorer at 10 goals, whereas Benteke only has 8. Weimann who rarely plays has 7 goals. Benteke just doesnt score, but terrible strikers with worse stats always get double the amount of goals as any of my strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Spend some time in the steam workshop, download some of the tactics that are named things like goals goals goals and then just make some minor adjustments to suit the players you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I took over Liverpool and am completely dominating. I sured up the defense, sold Joe Allen for 25 million, and signed a few all around solid midfielders. I am scoring 3+ goals a game. I just need a better keeper, but Chelsea want 30 million for Cech.

Zatman Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Liverpool are ridiculous in the game. Balotelli and Borini are hitting 35 goals each in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I very rarely play with real players. I normally start with Villa figure out some tactics and then after a few seasons start new in Division 1 or 2 with fake players and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Liverpool are ridiculous in the game. Balotelli and Borini are hitting 35 goals each in the league I know it's a joke. Balotelli is insanely good. He scores and assists constantly. It's like the Football Manager creators don't actually watch football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I found Sinclair to be excellent as a striker, far better than benteke and kozak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 A consortium led by Graham Taylor has just brought Villa. He told me "It had been my intention to bring in my own manager (press reported Glenn Hoddle) and I will let you know my decision in the next few days" Well I've won 18/21 and I'm in the semi-final of the Capital cup, so hopefully I'll keep my job.

Czechlad Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Same thing happened to me and I had a worse record, but they kept me. You should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The staff and players convinced him to keep me on apparently. Saaaaaaaahnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 24, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2015 This game is just dumb. I really don't know how you get players to score goals. Tried going 3 up front like Zatman suggested but i'm still just not scoring. Keep having games like this all the time and it's so annoying How do you score?

Czechlad Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I started a career with Arsenal and I have to say it's very realistic. I already have 11 players injured and the season hasn't even started yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play to certain players strengths, if you've got target men then make sure you focus on putting the ball in the box as that's where the strengths are, if you've got poachers then narrower play might suit them better, probably with an AP behind or a F9/DLF next to them. If that doesn't help...Buy new strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 started a new game with Villa brought in Amavi and Gueye and got rid of few players like Vlaar, Given and Cleverley. Cant get rid of Quota though Have a feeling it will be a tough season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Play Gueye constantly. Sanchez will get mad, but it's worth getting rid of Sanchez to play Gueye in that spot. Gueye not has 4.5 stars and it's only been a season. I initially played a 4-1-4-1 with Gueye as the ball winning midfielder just above the defense and he constantly receives MOTM awards. I'm gonna switch to a 4-3-1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 still in pre season but im going play both in a 4-2-3-1 Guzan Meunier van Dijk Okore Amavi Gueye Sanchez Grealish Gil Sinclair Benteke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Aren't sanchez and Gueye out of position in that formation though? Unless you're playing them right in front of the defenders then have a gap to Gil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yeah both are defensive midfielders for me. Ill give it a go or ill change to Richardson as my deep lying playmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Annoys me that players like Sanchez and Gueye lose ratings when you move them from DM to CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw95 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Annoys me that players like Sanchez and Gueye lose ratings when you move them from DM to CM. If you train them for the position they become natural over time (slightly harder with older players but still doable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
