Hi guys,
I have two questions, one technical, one tactical :-)
1. How can I get reliable reports on my own players? I often get really inaccurate reports from my staff about my players' ability and potential. For example, I often have players who apparently have low potential, and so I let them go free. Then I have a scout with good judging potential ability, and he gives me a report saying that the player, now no longer a part of my team, actually has great potential! So the question is - can I get my own scouting staff to provide me with reports on my own players?
2. And this is a big one. I have the best players in the world, I win the league every year. The problem is in the Champions Cup. Every time we reach the knockout stages *and are first home and then away*, we have beautiful home games, which are always matched with horrible away games. If we win 5-0 at home, we lose 6-0 away. Every F***ing time. No matter how I instruct the boys to play (whether it's very defensive, cautious or just like usual (attacking)), we concede and concede and concede and not one player out of the bunch get a rating of more than 6.4 by the end of the match. I speak before the game about how we should avoid complacency, it doesn't help. And it's not complacency that makes us lose anyway, the players aren't complacent. They're just... bad. When its the other way around (away, then home) we do great. How do I solve this damn problem? What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks a lot, guys!
