- Tactics
- Writing about tactics could be for you if you enjoy creating your own tactics on the game.
How should a tactic post look like?
1. Title
Please try to be as descriptive as possible. Include the name you've given your tactic and which version of FM this tactic (or set of tactics) is for.
For example, FM23 4-2-3-1 World Beater - Great With Top Clubs
2. Post Body
Please try to provide as much detail as possible. Include important information, screenshots, and detailed descriptions of the Formation, Team Instructions and Player Instructions.
Don't forget to include information about what types of players you try to use in each position or role. What player attributes others should look for that work well with the tactic.
If you use additional settings, such as shouts (touchline instructions) during matches, Opposition Instructions (OI's), or have media and motivational tips that you use with your tactics, don't forget to provide details of those as well.
Try to provide examples of how you've done with your tactic, what teams you've used them with, and what divisions or countries they've worked well in.
Provide us with a tactic file. - Save Ideas / Challenges
- We're all looking for a great challenge to keep us going. Tell us if you found a challenge that kept you playing FM to the
point that you didn't want to quit because of all the excitement it
brought.
There are many well-known Football Manager challenges, like the Pentagon challenge, the San Marino challenge, beating the bigger brother, etc.
But this doesn't mean you can't pitch in your ideas.
If you found a club with which you enjoy the challenge, write about it and say what's challenging here. Or maybe you found a challenging league or a challenging style of playing FM where you only play with youth players...
The possibilities for a fun challenge are endless.
Harder and more unique the challenge, the better.
- Game Guides
- Whether you write on how to buy/sell players to get the max out of your transfer budget or set up your game at the very start, all ideas are welcomed.
Here you can write about something you might have stumbled upon that works wonders for you in FM, or you want to share your thoughts and opinions on how you think the game should be played or how you approach certain parts of the game like tactics, training, mentoring, etc.
Or you can even write on what not to do in a save.
You can write on just about anything, as long as it adds some value to the reader.
