The fatigue thing is really annoying i thought when i was playing with Derby it was just lower leagues but now with spurs some of my players are finishing on 50% after each game even with rotation

Was like that last year too. No big deal, just a bit of rotation involved

haha. Yeah, it was a co-ownership bidding war. £1 was enough to get him.

This might sound a bit silly but why arnt co ownerships in England? I'm not too familiar with these deals.

It just seems to be an Italian thing. Don't think any other league has it, at least no other European league
They're really handy for when you want to buy a young player, but he isn't good enough for a starting place, so you let him stay at the other club until he is

They can turn out good money-wise too. In FM10, i got Balotelli on a co-ownership from Inter (he was unhappy at Inter...what a shock ), payed €8m for him. He found his form and at the end of the Co-ownership, Inter Bought him back for €11m. So i made some money on what was essentially a loan

Make use of their rest -- i'm not sure i'm the only one who does this, but after each game, depending on how long the break is between I rest all of the players for 'x' days.

My first season with Bedlington Terriers, for the first few months we were playing Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday!

A cup i'm sure you're all familiar with

International friendlies?
If so, while its a bug that they're not during an international break (happened me countless times in FM10), its technically your own fault for not withdrawing them from the international squad.

But if they're competitive internationals, there's not much you can do, which is annoying

[01srainey]

Any tips on how to sell players?

[fallensoldier]

Just managed to get Sniejder and Dzeko on free's in the 3rd season (4th when they arrive).

Now im trying to make a formation/tactic with 3 at the back with Cesc and Sneijder being creative and an anchorman meaning they can play as they normally would without worrying about defending..
