lordoth Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Oh something else that I've thought of. Anyone else changed the staff yet. I had a quick look around, and you can get much better. Yeah, absolutely. I signed some scout as an assistant manager as he had much better attributes than Sammy Lee. Replaced most the scouts too as only a few have Judging CA and Judging PA above 15.

weeeman27bob Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Who are you playing as MR, when you play 4-4-2. I want to play 4-4-2, but I don't really want to use any of Benayoun,Kuyt or Pennant at MR. I'll sign Fernandez, but I'd probably need another.

longyt Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hmm is fernandez gd as an attacking AMR? i thought he is more of an AMC or AML? woa.. was about to sell kuyt..think will give it a rethink ..ahha Pope: woa..vela for 5.5 mil.. whats ya waiting for? haha yeh im trying to retrain him (and babel) to be accomplished there, and he goes alright (after kuyt of course ) Has anyone tried Balotelli as a winger? Currently I have enough good strikers (and good super-sub strikers too) and I have just got Balotelli. I find the AMR position is really hard to find someone outstanding for. Too many options for AML and AMC instead.Anyway, I'm going to try him there as he has some pretty decent attributes for a winger and is already 'accomplished' as AMR. hes very good there, dribbles past everyone down that right side, but he wont score any where near as much as he will at striker(obviously ) i mainly play him up front with torres, and hes playin superb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope of Pot, King of Nothi Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Gerrard is on the right for me, Masch as holding midfielder and Alonso as the creative force in the centre!

lfc7 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ifc7Great price for Chiellini . What was the trick? . Did you unsettle him or got there through negotiations? I got a scout report on him and it said they would accept 16M and they did. Am not very happy tho saved my game last night and when ive loaded it up am just about to play my CL qualifier which is 5 games behind where i was dont know how thats happened but am p****d off Just checked on Chiellini and i can still get him but last time i had to wait near to the end of the window as he is out for 2 months so will fail the medical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phidelta42 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 How are you people playing Keane? For me he does nothing. I've given up on Keane, he's been rubbish all season, doesn't seem to matter who he plays with. I brought little Michael Owen back, for about £2 million at Christmas, he's not been fantastic by any means but him and Babel are way ahead of Keane in the pecking order.

weeeman27bob Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 I just accidently overwrote my autosav, so I'm starting again. Well actually I'm starting again, again. I just started just now, determined to get the best staff, but i signed too many who were all the same. I'n my previous games, I've played Keane lying deep, with torres pushing up, but that didn't really work. He scored about 3 goals in 4 games for me coming on as a sub for Torres in 4-3-2-1 though.

Nick A Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ive also changed my tactic from 4-4-2 to one Chronic uploaded a few pages back which i used in the demo 4-2-1-3 I have but I can't get any joy at all with this tactic. I've tweaked it and brought in a lot of good young players - most discussed here - but 15th in PL with only 1 win by the end of October. I don't score enough goals and my players continually miss open goals from inside the 6 yards. I also have Torres missing every single one on one chance he gets. Not to mention that half the squad doesn't want to play for me due to my inexperience. And Chronic stated that his game was too easy using this tactic!

Eiler Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Maxwell is great for me at left back. Got him for £12m and he can even fill in on the left wing if he needs to. Balotelli got injured for a month in his first appearance for me, then came back and was immediately injured for 4 months. The ridicoules amount of injuries aside, I'm doing quite well with my own, basic 4-4-2. I'm in second place (early december), 3 points behind Arsenal. My best result so far was knocking Chelsea out of the cup with a 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool is real strong in the middle of the park, so try having focus passing through the middle and full backs and wingers set at run with ball. does the trick... honestly have gained much insight by reading this great sight.. its real lengthy but its real indepth and will help you develop that great tactic(s) http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=61144 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Strength of the Squad is definitely Centre Midfield. I'm playing with one of the 4-4-2's mentioned in that thread. I can't really comment on how it's doing as I've only just started. I've spent ages getting my staff sorted, but now they are awesome! 7 stars in Attack, Defence, Tactics, Aerobic and Strength, and then 6 stars for Ball Control, Set Pieces and shooting.

phidelta42 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Tactics wise, my 4-4-1-1 system which worked beautifully on the demo didn't work on the patched game. After about 8 games I switched to a 5-3-2 with Srna and Dossena as my wingbacks and haven't looked back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 I've decided to make an interesting decision, and keep Kuyt. I've sold Pennant + Benayoun and Brought in Veloso and Fernandez. I'd like to play 4-4-2, so Kuyt can be either a winger, or striker in this formation. Obviously I could have bought someone who is a good striker, for the sale of Kuyt, but I'd like to buy an awesome striker, someone like Agureo, or Villa, at the start of next season. If my plans to go 4-4-2 don't work, I can go 4-3-1-2 and have Kuyt play striker if I need him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeeman27bob Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Who did you get as coaches? any ideas, i have put a couple of adverts out for coaches etc but i really cant be bothered to wait I've found attributes vary each time you load up but here are some of the good ones I signed. Andreazzoli Paxio Herrera Baldini Clemence Court There's a good thread here which explains the attributes you need for a 7 star coach, so you can search for them. There are a couple of coaches, one at HSV, and one at Inter, who are completely kick-ass but they have just signed, so they don't want your offer. Roll on next season though!

Eiler Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I've decided to make an interesting decision, and keep Kuyt. So have I. He's done really well for me on the right and has filled in up front when Keane and Torres have been injured. He's not a world beater but there are definitely more urgent positions to improve before getting rid of Kuyt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiler Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Chelsea have been sniffing around Alonso so I've been scouting Camacho and Javi Martinéz. I will look at signing one of them in the summer if Chelsea come in with a big offer for Alonso. Both look awesome and have the potential to be leading Premiership players so I don't really know which one to go for. Martinez' stats looks slightly better but he is also two years older. Hmm...
