saemus Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 in the real version i will prob also get palombo (who juventus stole) and srna, and mirel radoi; and maybe try to sell drogba but did not seem much interest in him. I tried for Richards, but they did not accept 20m, Lloris, did not accept 20m and metersacker who did not want to move Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saemus Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 the formation with 2CM, and 3CAM works very well, but make sure that you set CM's metality very defensive, few forward run ETC, and get LB and RB to run with ball and cross OFTEN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kussel Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 essien has been doing good for me getting a few long range goals and some good assists to aguero. john Terry is ok... so far hasnt been particularly good or bad And the scouts think radoi is so bad becuase i his CA i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Radoi has insane stats for a CB! i dont get my scouts? they seem to think he is distinctly average?! weird? whereas Fazio, who has good but not as good stats is rated FAR higher than Radoi! my Chelsea team was 7 points clear at the top by Christmas! so i started again and put every player on the transfer list to see whether i could build a team from scratch! so far so good.... only kept Cech and Terry, but i have loads of others not sold but on transfer list (Anelka, Bosingwa, Essien, Kalou). bought in loadsa people..... but to be honest, it is the usual!!

dexta200 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Radoi has good stats but he probably has poor hidden stats or something. personnally i dont think he will be quite good enough for Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 yeah man, i am literally clearing out my squad! stupid i know, but i mean i wanna see if i can still finish top at the end of the demo despite only keeping 2 original players! but nobody wants Essien (strangely), so i am playin him with Veloso at CM! playin sexy football!! haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgotd Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Mikel can be sold for around 18-20 mil to Man C and Spurs, Villarreal will bid 12 mil for Anelka if you buy Matias Fernandez and Rossi from them. And oh yeah, the extra transfer funds trick works if you set past experience to "International Footballer" as well as set your expectations to title challenge. Good find mate!

dexta200 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 lol fair enough mate! sounds good! not bad price for Mikel but i think he will become an awesome player on this version. not bad for Anelka either hes too old for my liking and if you buy rossi thats 3m profit there.

knap Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 John Terry I use a Nike defence for Mourinho-type managers tactic based on my FM08 Tactics. I've not had chance to fuly test in FM09 and I may have to change settings after long term result testing but PM me if you want to try, result below from my latest version.

Natedog17 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I think Witsel will be a good replacement for Lampard he looks awesome Loic Nestor is awesome for my chelsea team and is said to have potential to be better than Terry ;P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 do i sell Lampard for £26.5million!?!? just signed Anderson for £24million as he is meant to get better than Lampard! worth the sale/purchase? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natedog17 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well at the minute my squad looks like this : Goalkeepers: Cech Renan-My scouts said he had potential to be better than Cech and so to do my coaches ...he has loads of youth caps Cuducini-probably on his way out Enyeama-had to for 61k Defenders Alex on his way out Carvalho...same Terry Loic Nestor-Potential to be better than Terry says my coaches Diego Lugano-Got him because he is one of my favourite defenders and for 4 mill i had to ... Breno's role model Fullbacks: Bosingwa Ivanovic Bridge Cole Centre Midfielders and atacking midfielders: Essien Mineiro Mikel Feghouli-Potential to be as good as Lampard Lampard Deco Wingers Malouda Mata as you can see am still bringing in some guys on the right side Strikers: Drogba Anelka Keirrison Di Santo Need to buy a few more players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 sold Lampard to Real Madrid for £28million in the end! spent the remainder of my transfer budget on Sergio Aguero.... £36million! worth it i guess! now my team looks like GK: Cech RB: Srna LB: A.Cole CB: Terry CB: Radoi CM: Senna CM: Essien AMC: Anderson AML: Giovinco AMR: M.Fernandez (being re-trained for this position) ST: Aguero pretty solid! Subs: Enyeama Alex Bosingwa Mikel Malouda Drogba Deco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexta200 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 haha just carry on then mate! ignore the injuries! buy loads of backup for the demo or get loads of loans in. or use some of our USELESS youth team! do we actually have any talent in there lol?

Canal Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 haha, our youth team is so bad.... its ridiculous!! only remotely good players are Scott Sinclair and Mancienne! and they aint exactly that young!? apart from that we have to admire the quality of Kaby and Jacopo Sala..... or not? they are all useless to be honest! they may just about fit into someone like AFC Telford? but hey, we can buy anyone in the world!? haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 i know! well Di Santo loooks okay. IRL Woods, Kakuta and Stoch aren't bad prospect along with Cork but i doubt any of them will get into the first team ever. I remember Woods had a game or 2 but he wasn't great. we have never been good at bringing through youth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Woods had a game or 2 but he wasn't great. we have never been good at bringing through youth. thats the thing that annoys me, Kakuta, Di Santo, Woods and Stoch all have the opportunity in the Chelsea first team, as in they have been on the bench etc, but nooooo SI underrate them! Also, Jack Cork and Harry Worley have been wanted by teams but yet again, nobody rates them!! shaaame! then you compare our youth to Arsenal, we are like a sunday league U12 team.... shockingly bad! haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 i know. even the absolutley terrible Arsenal ones like Gilbert are rated better than ours. Kakuta on 8.0.0 became a very good player. but then got dropped in stats/PA Stoch= useless on games and also Woods was good on 8.0.0. Di Santo hopefully will be rated on 09 scouts said potential to be good player and sinclair potential to be decent player. i reckon they both might be -9's still along with Mancienne. hopefully they will become half decent. Mancienne becomes a very good defender with a Pa of 170+ on 2008. one of my favourites tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saemus Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I think Witsel will be a good replacement for Lampard he looks awesomeLoic Nestor is awesome for my chelsea team and is said to have potential to be better than Terry ;P my scouts said that witsel is some way off being better than lampard, renan would be as good as cech and that loic nestor is some way off being better than Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 how much does Nestor cost? i need a decent young CB on my game!!!

I mean i signed Anderson, but who else is good enough to cover? Sergio Aguero is a great CAM, and is very versatile.

saemus Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 i have a crisis at CB; Terry, Zapata, Fazio, Criscito and Radoi!!! all want first team football i might have to sell JT, though as a big chelsea fan it pains me to do so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 why would you sell Terry? first out the door would be Radoi and loan one of the others out probably Criscito. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 never EVER sell Terry, he is the heart of Chelsea! sell Radoi, loan out Criscito and play Zapata, rotate him with Fazio! best plan..... but firstly, why would you buy so many CBs?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexta200 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 lol haha. on 08 i usually put him in reserves at 34ish but hopefully he will still be decent at 34 with the way stats are going to drop on this one. hopefully anyways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexta200 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 awesome! lets hope more players become managers in 09! the only chelsea player who became a member of staff in my only game past 2020 was Drogba who was my ass man at Arsenal then manager at Villa and Everton then Ivory Coast lol. but never lamps or anyone not even coaches!

saemus Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Thing is I hate slow defenders and JT is pretty slow, plus Radoi's stats are better and he plays better; will put Criscito out on loan... but the next match after i made that post, Fazio had to come on because Zapata was sent off, then Fazio got injured so on came JT...!!!

saemus Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I just got the funniest penalty decision. Radoi is holding the ball up, standing completely still with the ball at his feet in FC bayern's penalty area. 1 player comes to tackle him, nothing happens, and slowly 1 by 1 everything single FC bayern outfield player apart from 1 was literally on top of Mirel Radoi. 9 players on 1, and still nothing happens, Radoi was holding the ball up for AGES like 3 minutes, and then i was awarded a penalty LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexta200 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 oh okay i didnt have the demo up. but wouldnt expect JT to be that slow! bloody hell. whats JT's accleration?

Canal Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 JT has acceleration 12 and pace 11 Radoi has acceleration 11 and pace 12! no difference at all! fast CB's are not necessarily vital though! all about hidden stats though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
