Hey guys, am a new poster here and have recently started a new game with Villa on the latest patch. I'm really struggling, I was amazed at just how bad our squad is on this game (I'm a realist in real life and think Villa are overachieving) but still even the better players have terrible stats. Is it me or are the stats in v2 much lower than V1??

I remember thinking with the first patch how high all the goalie stats were, there were millions of GKs with 20s all over the place, now all the stats seem much lower, can anyone else confirm this?

I'm also desperate for a tactic, my problem is I want to give time for the players to get used to a certain tactic but each time I try one it's so bad I have to change it. I'm all for making my own tactics but the problem is just that I'm never sure what to do on the player instructions part. I just want a tactic that plays good normal 442, like a real life ManUtd or something, does anyone know of any?

Any highly reccommended tactic I've tried has strange formations and team instructions like the sliders all the way on tempo and with seemingly every box ticked just for the sake of it.

I would really appreciate the help of a more seasoned pro. cheers
