The FMM Magazine
Hey guys, it’s been ages since I posted some content, and today, I bring to you…. The FMM Magazine!
The original idea goes entirely to HalaMadrid who made sure this was brought to you guys, I’m just a volunteer!
Now, after FMM Weekly was shut down, he still hadn’t had enough of the every week tabloid-like content ideas, so he talked to me and the member- Hashtag Tatica about this, and hence here comes the first issue of the magazine. I really hope you guys enjoy this!
Now what this magazine will consist of is, all three of us will be posting some content, whether related to FMM/FMH or whether it's real life, you name it. You can ask questions, and we’ll sure as he'll try to answer it, there will be emphasis on real life football, including the team of the week content, the match of the day etc etc.
If anyone is indeed interested in working with us, we’ll also be proud if anyone offers to write a column for us as a guest! That’s right, we all hope to get you all involved in this!
ISSUE #1
=========================================================================================
Sweeper or Keeper?
During the release of FMH 2015, SI introduced a new player role - the Sweeper Keeper, which basically is a Manuel Neuer type of goalkeeping role,so without further ado,let's take a look at the description,the benefits and drawbacks and the attributes a sweeper keeper requires .
What is a Sweeper Keeper?
The Sweeper Keeper combines the role of a Sweeper and a basic Goalkeeper.Whenever there is danger arriving outside the box,he would attempt to clear it away or pass it to his defenders,usually a sweeper keeper would stay outside the box when not being threathened and would like to receive the ball at his feet constantly,thus having to withstand immense pressure and taking a lot of risks,so this a role very few keepers can master.
The Benefits
Keepers Will Distribute The Ball More Confidently
Counter Attacks Can Be Started More Quickly From The Keeper
More Men Can Join The Attack Upfield
Technically Gifted Keepers Can Affect The Entire Outcome Of The Game
The Drawbacks
Playing A Keeper As A Sweeper Keeper Is Very Dangerous
If A Keeper Makes A Mistake When Passing It Will Most Certainly Lead To A Goal
The Attributes Needed
As you can see from the image above the essential attributes needed for a good Sweeper Keeper is Agility, Handling, Kicking, Reflexes, Positioning & Pace as they need to be agile and quick to race out their box to clear the ball from danger and race back in again.

Q: What is the Offside Trap and how do I use it?
Understanding The Offside Trap
What is the Offside Trap?
The Offside Trap is a strategy you can apply to your defenders to catch opposition attackers offside by moving as one unit up the pitch at the same pace before a pass is made.
What Attributes do my Defenders need?
To perfectly master this,you need cohesive defenders with good teamwork,movement and positioning as they need to time their runs precisely or risk conceding goals.
How do I use the Offside Trap?
The Offside Trap is most suitable for defensive teams when playing against attacking teams who would get more men forward.Due to this,the trap can catch players offside if executed correctly.So,the offside trap is very useful if you're defending a lead or holding for a draw.However,get it wrong and it's a disaster as your defenders leave a large space unguarded for attackers to get a 1-on-1 chance against the goalkeeper and 90% will score.
Halamadrid says: Don't use the offside trap if you're a strong team,cause you'll tend to attack more.
DSW says: I’ve always used the offside trap, no matter the teams, for a rather unorthodox approach is always the better when in complex situations.
=========================================================
Every week, there will be player-based articles, whether they’re beasts on FMH or based on their real-life performances, and this week, we have a rather special Spanish lad!
Nolito: No-Little threat? : By DSW
Barcelona has been in some sort of turmoil this season, although results have been good, shocking losses, and poor defending have left them exposed in both attack and defense. And major thanks to their transfer ban, they’ve been with the same squad for almost two years now, having to promote youth club players such as Sandro and Munir for necessary backup. As the ban seeks its end in Jan 2016, Barca have definitely identified crucial targets to boost their squad completely.
Nolito, a former Barca youth player, now playing for Celta, had been identified as the perfect player who fit into La Masia’s system perfectly, however, Celta look to have held a strict hold over him and have denied to have held any talks.
He’s made a dazzling start to the season and has been one of the reasons for Celta’s delightful form in La Liga. He’s 29 now, well into his peak years, and Barca looks to make sure he plays his best years for them.
In LA Liga:
In the league, he’s scored five goals and made 3 assists in only seven appearances! That betters class players such as Diego Costa, Messi etc!
His style of play:
Nolito, plays on the left wing/inside forward and makes darting runs towards approaching right backs, like the inside forward, he cuts inside the flanks and then makes threats to the defense. He’s good at long balls and loves to dribble with full speed.
Stat count:
1. He’s hit 4.4 shots per game.
2. He’s won a sensational 4 MOTM awards in the seven matches he’s played this season!
3. Whilst amazing with the ball on his feet, he’s only managed 0.6 aerials, but that’s understandable considering he’s 172 cm.
4. His passing is decent as well, with a 69% of his overall passes being successful.
Strengths:
He’s amazing in his dribbling, passing, be it through balls, key passes, or whether it be crosses. You name it, He’s also good at taking set-pieces.
Weakness:
As with all attacking players, he too lacks the defensive contribution expected of a player, he isn’t the strongest at winning aerial duels, but he compensates that with his good technique.
Now that we’ve learned all about him, about his start to the seasons, his strengths and weaknesses, do you think he’s a threat that the defenders in Spain should be worried about? Should Barca go for the playmaker/winger ?
What do you guys think?

Will You Try This Team?
In this article, we'll be showcasing different characteristics of a team, the club might be famous, or pretty poor, but believe me, it'll be a great fun to play with and worth your time.
Chelsea - Russian Riches: By Hashtag
Jose Mourinho’s great management have brought Chelsea success over two manages, but will you follow his success and lead Chelsea to glory?
Are you planning to use Chelsea on FMM 2016 or FMH 2015? Then go and check them out down below!
KEY PLAYERS
In my opinion there are 5 key players in this Chelsea team and I’m going to list it out for you right now.
Thibaut Courtois
As you can see the 22 year old Belgian goalkeeper has some great stats for a goalie like him, with 19 reflexes, 18 aerial and 6 of the crucial stats in the greens, he is a great keeper and definitely one that can’t be sold.
Kurt Zouma
The FIFA legend in FIFA 13 got a well-deserved transfer to a big club last season, but everyone’s question was, can he do it? Yes he can, and it is well reflected in his stats, get his attacking stats out of calculation and all stats of his are above 13, which are insane, with low wages to start off with (40,000), and only 19, he has got a very good potential for the future.
Cesc Fabregas
Remember him playing up top for Barca? I certainly do, and that meant that he can play ST(C) in game! Of course his best position would be a a M(C) position, with some all round stats, all stats are above 10, and a very wide spread of blues and greens makes him look like such a godly player to use, one of my personal favourite M(C) in game which always gets 20 assists at least.
Eden Hazard
The Belgian Magician who played outstandingly last season and is already an absolute dream to buy on FMH only at 23, in FMM, he will have about 19 or 20 dribbling, movement and Creativity which will be the best, the lad who can play in the Left, Centre and the Right.
Diego Costa
Instead of WOWing of all rounded amazing stats, let’s focus on the main stats, 20 shooting, 19 aggression (LOL!), 19 movement and 17 dribbling makes him a natural goalscorer in game, and he normally benefits from all of the Hazard and Fabregas assists aforementioned and a great poacher.
Finances
The Finances of Chelsea are absolutely awesome, with 49,000,000 in the budget and 2,329,000, which is really good, and you can buy some really good players in the spots to improve, like a new Defender that would be an improvement to John Terry in the game considering the age.
Youth
Some great wonderkids from Chelsea are starting to blossom, and I’m really excited to play with some of these in the new FMM game, I’ll list out 3 wonderkids in this team.
Kenedy
The new transfer to Chelsea have already played a few games for Chelsea and his attributes suggest that he would be a great player for the club in the future, keeping the Brazilian would be absolutely incredible for the club.
Bertrand Traore
The Burkinabe Attacker is a very good player already with some good stats already and he’s a player for the foreseeable future, with his wage and an already great ability, he’s a must use for the club.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Only 18 years old, the holding midfielder looks like a really good future replacement for Frank Lampard, already a decent ability in the English lad, he’s a homegrown talent and he will be a great edition to the squad, in the future he will be amazing.

Top 10

10. Nani
A great winger for Portugese and Fernabace, a great player as well for Fmm, and I really like the look of him because of his skill.
9. Danny
Danny have been a good player during his career, and his stats reflect that, although his age, he is still a really good player and a player I love.
8.Joao Moutinho
2 orange stats that's not important and others are blue or more. Awesome player for Ligue 1 and a all rounded midfielder.
7. Bernardo Silva
A great player of the youth team AND he looks like a great player of potential for the future in game. Great Player.
6. Ivan Cavelero
What a player! Amazing winger that's all rounded like Kevin Volland and from my experience he adds the perfect depth to any team.
5. William Carvalho
A great defensive midfielder thats amazing for the future at only 22 and I've been amazed with this guy's defensive skills.
4. Fabio Coentrao
A great wingback on loan at Monaco and a great player, seem like that Monaco are building a Portugese army here.
3. Pepe
Amazing central defender which will be replaced by Varane but still a great backup, can be bought at a decent price.
2. Andre Gomes
Amazing CM who is good for.the future as well, I've used Valencia this year and he was awesome on IT.
1. C. Ronaldo
Do I need explaining? The obviously no.1 here in this list as he's one of the best Portugese in game and real life, approaching his 30s but the amazing stats covers it.
