I have used it a couple of times, and the results indicate that it doesn't give you a penalty. If it does, it's a very small one

Too weak in the central midfield. If you're going to go with 5 midfielders, i would put put 1 on each wing and then have either 2 attacking midfielders and 1 defensive mid, or 1 attacking and 2 defensive.

No, only if you have "more than 3 central players, or (more than) 2 by wing". Tha's what I meant...

@ Yzerman: No penalty, and great if you want to attack on the wings -together with some strikes on the sides-. To make up for the lack of strenght in the CM zone, you could make any of those LM/RM close to it, and/or some CD...

* "You could make PLAY", I meant...

Last season I played mostly with 2W on each side (more or less succesfully), this year I'm having difficulties, I'd say mainly because competition is greater.

I usually played attacking WMF away from CM, and defending WMF closer to CM.
This season I'm also using 3-5-2 formation with 3 CM either 2AMF/1DMF or vice versa, which is more "succesful" than 4-5-1.

Small question, it's so that you can play in 1 international cup right? it's not possible to get eliminated in the CL (third in groudstage) you can continue in CWC. Like CL en UEFA cup IRL.

No.

Does changing the match importance in halftime really happen?

I know i got a bunch of games where my stats in 2. half werent any better than in 1. half.

This is in the case that i play 1. low and 2. very high, opponement plays the whole match on the same importance.

Also same tactics and Same players?

What's up with the stadium accessories (Car park, Scoreboard, Pitch quality, Floodlights)? From my experience and what other managers say, they don't really bring any more fans to the games (the % is very small) but why is the cost of building them so huge? When I was a beginner I've built parking on level 3 and the other 3 accessories on level 1 (because I thought it would bring significantly more viewers to the match) which makes it 24M and to me that is not a small amount of money considering I could've built a higher level facility, an excellent player (or maybe 2 very good ones) or a bigger stand.
Do they plan on improving these things or should I deal with the fact I've spent the money on some worthless piece of ship? Perhaps even demolish them??

It is what it is. It's up to you as a manager to determine whether it's a good investment or not. We don't plan to change it.

You have a stadium have a 15600 spec capacity and you have 15600 spec in attendance for your last home league game.
Your stadium accessories as you said can't bring you more spectators than your capacity...

(I think those stadium accessories are usefull if you have a big stadium And no-one comming in ... )

Then take friendly games for an example.
I get almost the same amount of visitors like someone who has the same amount of seats but no accessories built. OTR or league position probably mean more than these accessories do.

Take a look at the most successful teams, pretty much none of them has accessories built over second level and most of them didn't even build to level 1.

@vlady - What's the point of these accessories if they are basically useless? And how should I determine if it's a good investment if I don't know how much does it bring? Sure I can compare other teams but even if I searched EVERY 4th leagues in this game I wouldn't find a team that has the same amount of seats of the same type, same league position, same OTR, same popularity of players and exactly the same opponent with only one difference - stadium upgrades.

If only I had a guide to read..oh wait, I do but it's the reason I made this mistake in the first place (that list made me think it's in the order of importance).

If you asked question about those upgrades on any Q&A thread on the forum before you started to invest into it you would get an answer before.
Also looking at other teams can be a good sign too.

It does have effect. This season when I have increased importance at half time and opponent has stayed at same, (seven games) combined 1st half score has been 3:6 and combined 2nd half score 10:2. Similar change with shots too. I have only increased importance by one level and there has also been tactic and player changes.
