I was using a narrow(ish) formation but the AI started to beat me like a ginger stepchild. I now vary - but I use wingers and it seems to work.

Injuries are killing me, by September first season I've already had 5 or 6 injuries that have seen players out for 4+ months

Trying a 3-5-2 with Crewe. In the promotion spots but if my first choice poacher could hit a cows backside with a banjo we'd be doing even better! My DLF(S) is out scoring the three players as I've used as poachers combined!

Gutted when Forest sold him, he could be a beast if he keeps growing like he has the last couple of years.

Is there a sell on clause for him in the game BTW, rumours are in real life there isn't.

Na I didnt see a clause paid £22 million for him though was watching some of his videos very much like Bale the way he plays

In my game Oliver Burke isn't amazing for the money needed. He is 3.5 star potential but I feel I can get better for the money.

philstanbridge · 24 Nov 2016 at 21:36

Burke goes to Chelsea in my save...

Fulax · 25 Nov 2016 at 20:39

Burke has been great for me so far in my Leipzig save. I've hardly had time to play lately so I'm still only in January. Unfortunately that means Keita is off to the ACoN and I have no replacement for him. I doubt he'll be cheap but get him if you can - he's a fantastic all-round midfielder, like a more creative version of Kante.

I love Leipzig's squad although I'm struggling to get any consistency with the high energy 4-4-2 they play - 18 games in I'm 9th with 8 wins and 7 defeats. I'm currently watching them play Freiburg, trying to get some ideas

This Cellino guy at Leeds is doing my nut in, he keeps swiping all the 90m television money from being in the premiership

[ASSE]Hinchy · 29 Nov 2016 at 22:19

High pressing 3-5-1-1 for me then if I'm facing wingers I'll pull my wingers back to full back with wingback role.

Going well on my Brentford save, few seasons into the prem and I got a euro spot thanks to cup results going my way. Only spanner is brexit kicked in and work permits will be needed for new signings and I'm limited to 17 foreign players in my 25 man squad.

Could be worse.

Is that the hard brexit? I'm in 2022 in my Peterborough save. Brexit didn't effect me at all, but permits are so much harder to acquire. I've got two very, very good players out on loan to a feeder for a permit, but they've been there for years.

No surprise that things are going well with my Celtic save.

Bought Roberts for £11M but going nowhere in Europe. I've tried 4-2-3-1 but it's not happening, 4-4-2 is serving me well. Not hit Brexit yet, should be interesting.

frankel1414 · 14 Dec 2016 at 23:03

I'm thinking of buying this. What performance would I get using a HD Graphics 530 (on my 6600k CPU) at 1440p.

I presume I'd have to switch 3D off?

You can this on PC CD for £18 now.

philstanbridge · 14 Dec 2016 at 23:48

Actually I think you would be okay with that. I run it on a X220 which has a worse card than you and I can run the 3d engine. I make sure the settings are set to low of course, but it runs admirably.

Evo8 · 16 Dec 2016 at 19:33

Mine actually doesn't run that well and I've got a pretty decent graphics card. I think my settings are high mind you.

frankel1414 · 16 Dec 2016 at 20:19

Yeah, I'll likely wait until I get a something like a RX470 or better.

I'd probably have to drop my res to 1366 x 768 and play with low game setting.

Why all the negative reviews on Steam? There are more - than +.

philstanbridge · 17 Dec 2016 at 09:35

It's because SI wouldn't produce a Chinese language version or something like that..

No1newts · 24 Dec 2016 at 15:01
