Posted: 24 Dec 2013 10:19 PM PST

At the height of the season 2 I am glad to share my FM 2014 tactics used for Dynamo Dresden.

First squad revolution in Dresden

Posted: 18 Dec 2013 09:58 AM PST

As you know I was not happy about Dresden squad and its suitability to direct long pass style based mainly on attack through flanks. Therefore happened revolution was a logical step in the travel to further success. Transfer window is not closed yet, it's the end of July so far. But I think I won't make more than 1-2 transfers onwards till deadline day. Media made a forecast of 13th position

Season 1 is completed

Hi everybody, I managed to finish the first season speeding it up a bit. I didn't really care whether Dynamo Dresden would finish 10th or 13th that's why not much time was spent on opponent analysis. So the results are probably not so good as could be:   Bundesliga 2. Season 1 totals Koln and Kaiserslautern had the strongest squads in the league and it's fair to see them promoted to the top

Dear readers, Dresden story continues and actually it's only beginning I would say. 25 fixtures of the first season played. And I am sure my club will stay away from relegation zone after all.

Anyway I can give a couple of tips from my winter transfer window experience with Dresden: Giving Team of the Year bonus helps to ease agent requirements for player.

Dear friends, I told you about staff changes in the last post, now it's time to share with more exciting information regarding sold and bought players.
