dankrzyz Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Strikers and keepers get single-digit uniform numbers. I always give loaned players uniform numbers 50+. Everyone on the senior roster gets at least one start per season. Always loan in a third GK. Always have one American on the club. Always try to sign all players with my last name that are in the active database, regardless of skill. Always try to schedule pre-season friendlies versus clubs I've played fun careers with in past FM saves (Darlington, SC Cambuur, Offenbach). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenalboy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 My squad must have a decent back up for every individual position (2 back ups for GK) i.e. a minimum of 23 players in my squad, plus a few MC/R/L's and DR/C or DL/C's for extra cover.

deltablue Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I go for (my team) rating and league table as my standard view. ideally 2 players per position (plus selected young players) with a switch after a bad game (unless the sub didn't do much better), injury and so on, though obviously sometimes I use my judgement based on my situation. Numbers sometimes should be 1-11 and 12-22. Never manage a club in the same league (preferably country) as the one I've just left, try and buy at least one 'hot prospect' player 18yrs or under a year... Also often do something else while playing, often watching something or reading (including work-related stuff, which works surprisingly well) and even writing (occasionally, as I'm the sort of person who contantly switches focus back and forth between things) using windowed mode and having the cursor over the FM bar so I can see what's going on (as long as the FM window isn't minimized, instead the other window is the one brought up and down). Who said men can't multitask? Obviously we can if one of the things is FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyjohnmulhern Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Whilst playing Championship Manager 01-02 for a long time, and when my laptop was quick, i would also view a player's profile if they score during the match, and check their stats, even if they score more than once, i would view again, to check i miss-read his ability. My PC is a little poor nowadays, so i have to reduce to viewing to only the opposition, because it takes just too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always make sure squad numbers are the same as in real life, despite wanting to make my preffered first 11 numbered 1-11, it just feels wrong!

MarkMan123 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If I'm 2 or more goals up at HT I will make two substitutions.
