A few weeks ago, we asked readers of Tactical Theorems ’10 what their biggest tactical problems were. We got hundreds of replies (thank you so much to everyone that sent in a survey!) and the most prominent issues many seem to be having are in the following areas:

• Figuring out the best players for each tactical role
• Organising your defence
• Understanding what the touchline shouts actually do under the hood
• Creating effective set piece roles
• Tactical consistency from match to match

So we thought…

What is the best way to answer these questions directly to our readers?

How about a LIVE WEBCAST on UStream, where we will answer YOUR questions regarding tactics in Football Manager 2010.

Join us for this live video streaming broadcast on:

Thursday, February 25 at 7:30pm GMT

(click here to work out what time this is in your timezone).

What exactly is a webcast?

In essence, Gareth “Millie” Millward and Jordan Cooper will host an interactive show on a streaming channel via UStream. We will both have our webcams on and will chat with you, the viewers, and answer your tactical questions. So, we can discuss these five problems, but the conversation can be directed by you if certain points are unclear or if you have anything to add!

The Football Manager channel will show the hosts on one side of the screen and a chat window on the other. Simply ask your questions in the chat, converse with everyone else watching in real-time and we will do our utmost to answer as many as we can to improve your tactical prowess.

Be aware: You will have to register on UStream in order to participate in the chat (don’t worry, it’s really simple and totally free), but you do not need to register to watch the show.

Our suggestion is to bookmark the Football Manager channel, so you can get straight to it on Thursday, February 25 at 7:30pm GMT.

What if you aren’t available to tune in?

If we get any really juicy talking points, we’ll be sure to write them up and post them here on the website. We will also do our utmost to try to record the show and upload some highlights to YouTube for those unable to attend. Plus, if it proves successful, we will do more webcasts in future months, and look to use some of the main topics of conversation for podcasts and videos here on FM-Britain.

This is your chance to ask the tactics “experts” directly…

No question too small or too big! We look forward to seeing all of you then!
