It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.

Default In desperate need of help

I was playing in Spain with Sevilla, in the January transfer window I was 3rd and had had an excellent first half of the season (eg. beating Barca and Valencia in successive games and only being 2pts of top spot at present). But what I've always wanted to do was be an ambitious English club and improve.

So when I saw Hull had a vacancy, knowing they had a new ground, seeing they had an ambitious chairman and were pushing for play-offs, I left and joined, securing a transfer budget of 825k.

The trouble is, I can't manage in England. I've never been able to. I would say I am a very decent manager in Italy and Spain and also did well in Croatia with Split. But I am absolutely awaful in England.

I had forgotten this though, and in my first game away at Coventry (who were bottom and hadn't won in 9 games) I sorted my tactics as I normally do with very good results. Basically:

4-4-2(Wingers running up to the top of their wing, no other arrows created)
High closing down
Quick tempo
Direct passing
Zonal Marking
No tight marking
Counter attack

*Player individual instructions are presets for their positions except everyone on normal tackling and a few tweaks to suit players. My two central midfielders are on a normal mentality as I have always found this means they defend and attack rather than just sit doing nothing (as may seem logical)*


I started the match and was 3 down at half time, absolutely pulverised my this very feeble team.

So please tell me how you play in England, no necessarily specific to Hull, just some rules of how you play in The Championship and the tactics you should use. Is it the opposite of what I was doing?!

Any feebback greatly appreciated, as you can see I'm desperate!

Take the closing down back to normal would be my advice for a start, and check the pace of your defenders. Championship defenders need 12+ pace to truly be effective. In fact, quick players should be the order of the day throughout your team to really get an advantage, espesially with a high tempo game.

Personally I don't think it's your closing down that's the problem. With Norwich first season (not a great squad by any means) I had pretty much the ame tacitc as you, but didn't have counter attack on and had short passing.

How good are your defenders? Unless they are bound to keep it tight, counter attacking can back fire, and direct passing IMO I didn't like as I had a very pacey but weak and small attack and needed to play the ball into feet.

La Liga is a much different league to the championship.

Championship is much quicker, so you'll need fit players

"Continental" tactics work well in england aswell in FM, but your players will always need pace.
