eplkewell Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Has anyone ever gotten this guy to work out? He was awesome for me on 08, but he has a natural fitness of 4 on here. I can never seem to get him fit and healthy enough to play effectively for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrysi Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I signed Pander in me 1860 Munchen game I've got going, mainly because I set myself limit of only signing players with German nationality, but he has been extremely good in the two season he has been with us despite that low natural fitness stat, on set pieces especially, you have to manage his games somewhat but anyhow here are a few screenshots from my game; Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never seem to get him fit and healthy enough to play effectively for me. Unfortunately that's completely realistic. At 26 years of age I don't think he ever managed to play a full season.

Well that sucks. I can't get him to play more than 60 minutes per week for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That natural fitness stat is a shame. In previous FMs Pander was one of the 1st left backs I used to look to grab for my long running West Ham DL issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eplkewell Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I know, he was great on 07 and 08. He's never been too impressive defensively, so I retrained him as a left mid. He's been good for me when I manage to get him on the field. He gets a ton of assists off corners, free kicks, and crosses. I imagine he'd be useful off the bench as a midfielder to help protect a lead since he's better defensively than a lot of out and out wingers.

bluebirds4life Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Like you I had great experience with Pander as backup to Abidal for me in 08(managing Barca), he was very useful going up and considering my formation was based on very attacking full backs, which was ideal. Another let down is his defensive attributes, not good enough to be a defender, best if you offload him. If you'd like to play him he could be very useful if he stays fit, which is unlikely. If you want him to do well, you need to have attacking full backs who can attack, obviously you probably can't afford these but similar type of players in terms of attacking mentallity. Anyway here are other attacking full backs or people who you need to try and replicate: Marcelo Dani Alves Vargas Srna Glen Johnson(?) These are attacking full backs, like Pander and on their day they can smash teams to pieces. Sorry for the blabbing but play him with another attacking right full back with defensive cb(maybe sweepers) and you should be fine, as long as he keeps fit.

JawKam Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Ah yes, he was amazing in FM08. Had him for many years in my HSV save. Pity he isn't as good in this version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
