Ok, so it's not real, but I ran FM2014 in beta mode months ago, back when we were still looking semi ok. I've dabbled with FM since it's first version, and while I'm not a total geek, I do respect the heavyweight lineup of ex pros they use for scouting the players in the game.
What I found was that Lamela never came good, he had an attitude problem. Townsend hit a wall and never really progressed either, no end product.
More worrying is the team balance and the tactical situation. I tried to match my tactics to the ones MOTD and my own observations showed we were trying to play.
It just didn't work. With no signings and these tactics, we finished 10th and had a shocking run of defeats to crap sides. I got sacked. Twice!
I repeated it, playing 442, attacking on the wings with pace and using creative players in a way that let's them play. Basically either using possession to carve out space or countering. I won the league.
It's not science, but I have found that FM is closer to reality than you might think.
We need tactics that work, a new man in charge and for Dawson and Naughton to be sold.
