iamjerome Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 just hammered everton 4-0 in the league cup final thanks to a crouch hattrick. 9pts clear in the league with a game in hand, 25 wins 3 draws in 28 games. 70 scored, 20 conceded. worried fm10 is a bit too easy with the tactics creator and presets because this is definitely due to no fluke too - i've conceded 2nd least, and scored the most - +50 GD, best in the league. crouch now on 29 goals in all comps this season with 2 months to go.

iamjerome Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Do you guys loose A LOT of money? I`m losing an average of 5 mill each month...My whole balance is gone... yep i lose around 3-4m a month, but luckily i've made a lot of money through transfers to fill up my balance, 15m left. if you click on transfer centre -> clauses you'll see we still pay around £1.1m a month to various clubs on monthly installments, that's a big drip on the balance.

reece1973 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 One week before the season starts and i lose Gomes and Cudicini to injury. Gomes out for 4 weeks and Cudicini out for 3 months Luckily i have £4.5 million left and instead of playing Jimmy 103 years old Walker i buy Oscar Ustari and the fans go mental so its the biggest waste of money. 1st game Ustari plays and i beat Sunderland 3-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers 4-2(ball winning mc)-2(advanced playmaker on the left, modric and lennon/bentley on the right as a winger)-2 (target man crouch / complete forward suarez) is my strongest team. i also play 4-2-3-1 with inside forward as AML, adv PM AMC and winger AMR and 2 ball winners again. wish i bought jack rodwell (also 15m) instead of moussa at the start because he can cover CB well too and seems to have a similar ability/potential as moussa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamjerome Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Would rather get Moussa as he is a natural DM. i don't use DM's specifically though, plus i was also thinking rodwell would have become homegrown by club by 21 as he's 18 when the game starts, ****! hindsight's something though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista T Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I use a DM anchorman in a Barca 4-5-1 so Moussa was the more preferable option for me, particularly as I have Bassong and King as well as Daws and Woody as backup, so i didn't particularly need another CB or even another CM. Also, King and Lennon are both home-grown I believe, and both are regulars for the first team for me. Two other Academy Grown players shouldn't be too much of a strain, as we have Dawson, Woody, Defoe, Crouch and Naughton who are all Nation-grown.

iamjerome Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 yep, i was only really saying because i've struggled to ever have more than 2 CBs fit at a time, corluka's played in fact in the centre for me at least 5 times. i've been pm-ed several times about my tactics, for one and all here: this my squad gomes/cudicini corluka/hutton (wing back automatic), king/dawson(ball playing defend), woodgate/bassong(centre back defend), vargas/bae(wing back automatic) (kyle naughton back up to both full backs) palacios/sissoko(ball winning defend), mavuba/jenas (ball winning support) lennon/bentley(winger attack) - modric/kranjcar(advanced playmaker support) crouch (target man) suarez (complete forward) if i play a 4-5-1 i have suarez or defederico as AML inside forward attack. if defoe plays, with crouch or suarez he is poacher, with keane he is an advanced fw. keane is always a deep lying forward. a key thing is match strategies, i always use counter when odds are against me, and standard to start a game if not moving into control or attacking or overload dependent on how the opposition starts. btw switch back to full back settings instead of wing back for DR/DL against top teams too. i've just now switched gomes to a 'sweeper keeper' on defend, should let me be a lot more aggressive i figure but it may back fire, we'll see.

iamjerome Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 just having a look at how the other leagues are going in my game - barca have raped la liga silly. 28 games in, 26 wins and 2 draws - only 2pts better than me but their GD is +71, having scored 88 goals in these 28. jesus ****ing christ. over 3 a game, AI managed. incredible. zlatan has an avg rating of 8.51... in fact 15 of their squad have 7.5+ avg ratings.

Luffe__81 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Well the season ended on a real high for me... Last game of the season and I snatched the 4th place from Chelsea.. I think it was justice since they beat me in the league cup final Things are looking brighter, one thing that made my tactic was to stick Modrick in an attacking wing position with playmaker instructions, he never looked back.... I really needed to qualify for the CL since I`m losing money for fun.... Hoping to build on this next season... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista T Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'm finding the game laughably easy compared to 09, which was a tactical wilderness. It is honestly one of the best games I have ever played, and I am thoroughly enjoying my experience. 4-5-1 seems to have supplanted 4-4-2 as the most popular tactic across the boards, but it is harder to implement, admitedly. I feel having a lone striker who drops deep is virtually a 4-6-0, with all members of the squad chipping in with goals. Robbie Keane is the best option as a withdrawn forward, but Jermaine Defoe and Roman Pavlyuchenko can do a job as well. I have tried implementing a target man, but it seems to reduce the goalscoring effectiveness of the team as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamjerome Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 yep the team play blissfully fluidly. although as i get cocky i lose my first match of the season, the 31st league game of the season in a 4-3 thriller against stoke with crouch scoring a hattrick but to no avail. still, 7 games to go 9pts at the top - i've got to play chelsea liverpool and arsenal in my last 4 games (the other being burnley) though which could be troublesome. yeah barca were **** when i played the demo, wonder what's changed them into playing well, more realistically, i guess.

iamjerome Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 2009/10 has finished and it's time to celebrate Spurs' first "not quite as great but who gives a ****" Treble! Season Summary Premier League - Champions FA Cup - Champions League Cup - Champions Key Players Peter Crouch - 38 goals and 11 assists, enough said. Luka Modric (Captain) - my team's inspiration, pure genius and consistently. Luis Suarez - the player who scored out of nothing against the true top teams. world class. apologies for the poor quality of the pics, too lazy to do them all over again, and for my amateurish attempts to fit the squad stats page in 1 on the last one, oops haha. Hindsight Selling Roman Pavlyuchenko for 9.75m - top scorer ahead of Crouch with 32 goals, he scored 38 goals in 46 starts and 9 assists too. Not buying Jack Rodwell when he was still 18 for a variety of reasons: CB cover + extra academy grown player, etc. Future Plans invest in youth, scour the world for u18s this coming summer. upgrade from Cudicini, invest in a non-injury prone centre half that's class, and maybe sell jenas and buy Hernanes because i've always liked the look of him - but that's selling 2 english players and probably bringing 2 foreigners in and obviously i need to have 4 club-grown and another 4 nation-grown players out of 25 for UCL.
