So in FM09 that's all Stoke should play for, they should try and play it off players legs to get throw-ins. It might not be pretty but it would make it more realistic.

You are wrong actually, they can play decent football especially with that Ricardo Fuller. Liam Lawrence gives them excellent width and passing ability, it's a shame they didn't get Jermaine Pennant, he could be really prolific in a Stoke side. The problem with Stoke is that they can't defend very well at all. Today for instance, Everton took their time around the box and even managed to make four passes just in the box without any movement from the three players involved. They also suck at defending set pieces, I expect them to lose a lot last minute goals because of this, the goal they conceded from a set piece was almost laughable. I reckon signing someone like Sami Hypia could really make big difference for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Long throws, like most set pieces and various other things, have gone through phases in FM of being either over-powered or under-powered. There was one version (possibly FM05 given the comment above) where they were well overdone and a player with decent long throws could regularly throw the ball straight onto the head of a tall player in the box for a goal. I have actually seen good long throws in FM, but more because my guy in the box is, for some reason, totally un-marked so the ball can be thrown to somewhere near his feet and he has plenty of time to collect it, turn and score, but I've not seen Dave Challinor-esque throws in FM08 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Dave Challinor was the first in the British game that I saw take it to this level. I haven't been able to replicate it in FM but in CM03/04 I had Freddy Guarin in my Barnet side in the Premiership and he had 20 for long throws and it was just mental how effective it was. You didn't want to get a throw in level to the penalty area or closer to the goal-line, but bring it back about 10-15 yards and it had goal written all over it. God how I loved CM03/04. Anyone remember the guy who used to do a run and then a somersault which finished with him launching the ball miles, (pretty sure it was South America). All the home team did was bring the advertising hoardings in to negate it I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It should be covered simply by the Long Throws attribute really - there is a scale from 1-20 (or 1-100 in the background) and 20 should mean you can launch it miles whereas lower values mean you are no good at that. There's not much else to it really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think that they were pretty much spot on with FM'05: Freddy Guarin to Rio Ferdinand was good for maybe five goals a season, plus another five on flick-ons to another player in the box .. nothing spectacular but good enough to be worth the investment in the "20 Long Throws" player, and only paying off if you'd taken the time to tweak your setups .. and of course, I was risking having a central defender badly out of position if I missed it. I haven't seen anything like that in FM'08, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have footballing players but don't seem to get them to actually play football. But that's just my opinion. It's all down to Pullis. He's defensive minded so doesn't really know anything other than to launch it forward and pick up the loose balls. Nearly every pundit going has written Stoke off and I have to agree. Once Delap gets injured they will be up s*it creek without a paddle. Of course, I am fairly biased because I support Vale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StripeySCFC Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Since this thread has turned into a bitchfest against my beloved Stoke City i'll show my face and defend my club. Long ball - we mix it with the best of them. Yes we play direct balls into the channels for Fuller to chase every now and then, but we also have Liam Lawrence on the wing and, this season, Seyi Olofinjana in the middle of the park. We play football in the right areas ie. further up the pitch where misplaced passes can do no damage to our own team Last season, Liam Lawrence got 15 goals from the wing and was statistically the best midfielder in the Championship. The statistics basically measure how many times you touch the ball and from that what you do with it - no of assists, key passes etc. A team that plays awful football as often as the fleet street gang would ram down your throat would surely bypass players like Lawrence, leaving them pretty much worthless and virtually statistically immeasurable, nevermind statistically the best in their class? Long Throw - its a method of attack that we use in equal measure. We've scored 7 goals in 4 Premier League games this season (almost 2 a game which is pretty decent for a newly promoted side still finding their feet) and 3 of those 7 goals have come from the Long Throw, 1 a penalty, 1 an own goal and two bits of magic from Fuller. Anyway, as you were... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norville Rodgers Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 FM08 never really demonstrated that throw-ins could be as dangerous as Delaps (as a Villan, i know just how dangerous), but it would be great to have such a weapon accurately reflected in FM09/10/at some point.

I know there is a huge gulf in class between the Championship and the Prem but his performances last season were impressive. He has consistency, touch and creativity (that ball to Fuller against Villa was magic) and will give most full-backs a hard time. Of course, wheather Stoke choose to use him or not is down to Pulis.

KDR Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Whether ugly or not, Stoke's style shouldn't be tied down in FM09 as the game will inevitably change the team out of all recognition within 2-3 seasons. They may never be the most cultured side (in fact, I remember them trying to kick Walsall off the park in a top of the table game about 10 years ago; still Walsall won 1-0), but IMO FM needs to allow for anything to happen. If you can't already, there should be something in FM to allow you to use a player's throw-in specialism, though. It'd also need to take account of where the play is on the pitch and 'mix it up'.
