gechal Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hello, I have a quick question for the guys who post in the tactics forum. I was wondering why the use of YouTube clips to show your formations in action is not used more. Is it because of the quality of the clips, or is it better to explain what is happening screenshot by screenshot? Because when a tactic works, and something you wanted to happen pans out exactly as you want it to during a game, its good, a vindication of your plans. Also its another way of showing people what you mean. I don't know if im missing something here, it is possible to upload replays I think? Edit - as soon as I finish typing this, I see someone has posted a YouTube series or something. I was thinking of just the odd clip among the writing to illustrate a point. Also I'm not criticizing anybody's work, I think its bloody good the effort that goes in over there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm happy with that decision SRL. As Tom has said, very good manager. Was a coach at the club for the last couple of months of last season and was rumoured to have been brought in at the time to replace Cotterill. Knows the players well enough, plays football the "right" way as people would say. I just feel sorry for Crawley as he only joined them in May. We've agreed to play them in a friendly before the 2013-2014 season iirc. Although we could be about to annoy them even more. Rumours are we want to appoint Steve Coppell as our director of football. He apparently doesn't have a contract either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which side of the fence are you on? No doubt looking in there makes me want to give it a go. I love my current formation and would like to give it a try. I'm not very good at computers, bringing in pictures, attachments and stuff, but if I put my mind to it Im sure I can suss it out. This lead me to asking the question. With all your posts in there, there is no doubt you have considerd using YouTube. I'm just wondering why you , and many others decide against it. Not as a dig against you, but to get an idea what the drawbacks must be. Maybe it's just down to individual preference and there are no real drawbacks I don't know. That's why I am asking. Tomtuck, do you have any postings anywhere describing the 4-1-2-2-1 formation you used to use? Sounds very similar to the one I use now. I use mine with wingbacks. Would be interesting to see just how similar they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to see just how similar they are. If you need any assistance then PM me and I'd be happy to walk you through using screenshots and attachments etc I use youtube sometimes but SI haven't made it exactly easy to use. It takes forever to upload a video and to edit it you have to use some editing software that you've bought or what you can download for free. Would be much more useful if SI provided something to create simple FM videos. As buying some editing software can be very costly especially for something half decent. Most of the stuff I write is about the attributes and how they work so that is hard to show, its much simpler and more constructive to write about it and break things downs so people will know what to look for in their own games. Hopefully in a future version it'll be easier to edit/upload and that would encourage people to create more videos. But as it currently stands it takes up far to much time.

Cleon Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Personally think Modric is massively over priced at £35million. I agree here. I honestly think Joe Allen is worth a punt though for a big club. Man Utd should go South American for a midfielder, plenty of quality ones to be had from Brazil and Argentina inparticular and wouldn't cost the earth.

SRL88 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 They have had a bid for Lucas rejected havent they? I think Joe Allen looks set to come to us by the looks of things. Despite this apparent 'gentlemans agreement', I think before the end of the window you could see a £15m deal go through. Edit: Actually just seen this, although Sky Sports News arent exactly reliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it was him. £27m they rejected I think it was??? Based off what I have seen in training and read etc, I would think we will go with a 4-3-3 style to be honest. If you want me to hazard a guess I would say something like: Reina Johnson - Skrtel - Agger - Enrique Gerrard - Lucas - Allen Suarez - Borini - Dempsey I would say that would be interchangeable with all three forward thinking players as Borini, Suarez and Dempsey can all play on the wing or play through the middle so it could be an interesting thing to see.
