But I shall definately try the defensive runs on the DMC.<br /><br />Instead of taking my wingers down, I just cancelled their runs. They now track back quite a bit and the wingbacks still are able to get forward. It has been working well the past few games.<br /><br />As for the Brazilians, I have now revised my opinion of them, but I can tell you that Rafhael was never in doubt. It was the Pato/Keirrison partnership which was really faltering at the beginning of the season.<br /><br />Stevie Mitchell, I simply take a screenshot. On a standard keyboard it is the Print Screen button located near to the top right hand side. Then I simply crop it using Microsoft Picture Manager.<br /><br />I'm loving all of these comments as well!

It'll take time, but it'll be handy.<br /><br />No, dragging the DMC defensively shouldn't widen the gap TOO much - it is only their runs when you're in posession, I think. <br /><br />What if you drag your wingers down (but keep their runs forwards) into the LM + RM positions, give your RB/LB no run - one like your AMC should give them neutral ball-chasing runs, which could be advantageous. This way, you won't be dominated in midfield, won't be so prone to counter attacks (in theory), still have an AMC and you'll have the best of both worlds in terms of your RB/LB.<br /><br />I love reading your blog - so, yes, it may appear that I am your only reader!!<br /><br />So, your Brazilians aren't doing so well - let them adapt - I assume they're Pato and Rafhael - because they're both from Italy, and will take a while to adjust - maybe play them sometimes with your adapted players in similar positions in some matches.<br /><br />:DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242976328301867229.post-37777460001536352112009-07-08T19:12:49.965+01:002009-07-08T19:12:49.965+01:00A little teaser for you: We are in the group stage...A little teaser for you: We are in the group stages, and our 2 Brazilians (guess which ones) are not doing well AT ALL.

Yay :D He isn't as good...Liam, yeah I got Pato! Yay :D He isn't as good on FM as in real life, but I don't care haha.<br /><br />My formation eh? To be honest, in theory it really should not work, but apparently (considering I have used it throughout my QPR career) it has worked in FM. To be honest Liam, I am mulling over whether to cancel my full back's foward runs, but in my game against Reading, Sebastian Dupont (my right back) has just scored an absolute screamer because he made that forward run. Mattock on the other side also overlaps very well and gives Young/Hobbit good support for attacks, whilst also covering well for defence. I try to get a full back with high work rate if possible to make my formation work.<br /><br />As for the defensive run for the DM, wouldn't that just widen the gap between DMC and AMC? I am quite unwilling to drag the AMC back to MC because Jack Wilshere and Wijnaldum's best positions are indeed AMC. Maybe I will cancel forward runs of the wingers?<br /><br />And as far as Swansea goes, they will be one of the last games in my next post. I am of course hoping for a win, but not too big a win to make you all depressed! Anyway, thanks for reading my friend, it seems like you are my only reader these days!<br /><br />Regards, MikeMike Aram - Newcastle United managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954451830729756235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242976328301867229.post-16139186350079853272009-07-07T20:27:54.585+01:002009-07-07T20:27:54.585+01:00Pato...

You will not make too many chances, I think, due to the huge midfield gap. Why don't you pull all three attacking midfielders down into regular midfield, or maybe just the wingers, and keep the AMC. I prefer the 1st one - it's my formation!! That shoud help you out loads. I'm not very fond of the attacking LB + RB style - I think it leaves you too open to counter attack. Maybe, cancel their forwanrd runs, OR, give the DM a defensive run. I find it very useful.<br /><br />Can't wait for the next post - can't wait to hear you thrash my beloved Swansea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
