This is my first real FM game I've bought to play for the long run as I have just bought a PC for something to do while the whole pandemic is currently going on. I have followed football for years as a fan and also have experience playing which I still plan to do when everything is over. Playing FM is supposed to feel like a real escape and is for many, but even after putting around 200 hours into FM21 alone I still seem to have multiple issues that are suggested in the title above.

- I seem to start thinking about one task I am currently pre-occupied with in FM and then I end up usually going so in depth with this one task that I confuse myself and end up leaving it (this goes for virtually any task I try and sort out)
- I am able to grasp concepts of what I want and need my team to do but am just not sure on how to employ it
- This one isn't even a joke, I genuinely think I have a fear of failure on this game lol
- I also tend not to gravitate to larger clubs, one because I'd like a bigger challenge of bringing a team up from the bottom and the other factor being I hate the pressure that comes with managing a big, established club (much like my own personally supported club, Aston Villa)

I understand I must sound like a majorly weird don with mental problems but I swear I just want to learn how to get better at the game I just simply find it extremely hard to put some of the concepts of the game in my head, another example of this could be when to employ another tactic if my other one isn't really suitable with the players available i.e injuries, suspensions.

Any help on how I could attempt to overcome these sorts of things would be hugely appreciated, I just want to enjoy the game which everyone but myself seems to be able to do, thanks
