Sorry its www.fm-base.co.uk/forum

Jay demerit is a good signing so is darius vassell both available on a free also Steve finnan got promoted first season been in premiership for 3 seasons now good luck

Jay DeMerit on a free
Henri Lansbury on loan
Sell a few fringe players
Boyata on loan

Download a tactic called Complete Dominance 10.2 - Works wonders. I play Blakey in CDM and Lansbury (loan) in CAM with Whitts and McPhail in the middle, Bothroyd in the striker role with the role that involves heading (whichever one out of the positions that involves heading), and Bellamy in the other role.

Bellamy is on FIRE at the moment. I'm 2nd (1st is one point above me) in February, coming into March.

I also get DeMerit on loan and put him in the middle with Riggot. Playing McNaughton on the left and Matthews on the right. Heaton in goals.

Try and sign a player called Dabo (Omade is his first name or something). He plays in the middle and in CDM. I play him over Blakey.

I send Koumas and Olofinjana back (Olofinjana is shit on this game).

I signed Adel Tarrabt in the January transfer window for 1m

To gain extra funds I sell Gyepes and Rae.

I always buy Dabo (I play 4-5-1), loan some DC (Wilson or Boyata) and youre good to go. Cardiff definitely has the best squad in FM and real life

Olli is beast, what are you talking about :O my second top scorer just behind Jay

Just add manager go man city and buy all Cardiff crap players for millions then when deals are completed resign as manage of Man city and buy who you want.

And quadsas, he was really bad so I had to send him back

DeMerit is currently on 9 goals for me! He's a beat in set pieces!

Curtis Davies (CB)
Mathias Jorgensen (CB)
Joe Mattock (LB)
Davide Santon (RB) (Inter, might be a bit expensive, and I may have spelt wrong)
Sebastian Larsson (RM)

Expensive transfers: Romalu Lukaku + Eden Hazard Belgium wonderkids, 5 star premier league

--------------Bothroyd---------------
Bellamy------------------------Burke
-----------Whitts-Mcphail---------
----------------Oli(DM)--------------
Naylor - Riggot - Shittu- Mcnaughton
---------------Marshall--------------

Play 4-3-3 with Bellamy on the left wing as an inside forward.
Bothroyd in the centre as a complete forward.
Burke on the right wing as attack winger.
Danny Shittu on a FREE is a must.
Teach Oli Defensive Mid.

Sign Smithies aswell huddersfields gk amazing on the game and cheap

yeah, smithies and that guy from Ipswich, god forgot his name, and check out if Phil Jones is available for not an unreasonable fee

I've shifted out all my U18's and Reserves to free up wages first of all. Sacked all my backroom and started again with lower cost coaches. Approach the board and say you need more coaches too, they agree!

Sold Marshall to Man UTD for £500k
Signed Fabian Carini (GK) on a Free, Smalling on Loan, Kezman on a Free, DeMerit on a Free, Benachour (Tunisian AMC) on a Free, Signing Ryan Jack from Aberdeen for £250k in January, Jose Goncalves (CB) on a Free & Kay Emmanuel-Thomas on Loan

Formation
--------------------Carini------------------------
Quinn---Goncalves---DeMerit---McNaughton
--------------Emmanuel-Thomas---------------
---------Olifinjana---------Benachour----------
Burke------------------------------------Bellamy
--------------------Bothroyd---------------------

Playing Burke and Bellamy as Inside Forwards, Bothroyd as a Target man with Mixed Supply, Olifinjana as Ball-winning, Benachour as Advanced Playmaker and Emmanuel-Thomas as Anchorman.

Seems to work. Takes time to gel though...

Jonjo Shelvey from liverpool is a good loan signing, Chips in with a few aswell
