A) Fast and direct football often does produce scrappy goals.

B) You shouldn't use this tactic away, or certainly against teams that play slow and short, as you will give the ball away a lot and they will simply keep it. You'll often get drawn in and then smashed on the counter.

C) Read wwfans thread regarding how to play in certain situations called "How to play FM07". Playing attacking fast and direct I bet works well at home and perhaps against weaker sides away but you'll need to slow things down away from home I would say.

Thats my two cents at least.
