preety boy Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 If you can't get Drogba, Anelka and Owen to score, I'm sorry to say that it's probably your tactics Drogba hasn't scored all season. Anelka is not too bad and owen is woeful. I havn't touched the tactics since I started. I play a lone man upfront and my midfield is banging them in. Balotelli has got 2 in 4 for me. Should I adopt a target man or change the striker tactics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucket Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Currenty playing as Chelsea and in the 2021/22 season. Roman is still the chairman and feels he will never leave the club he loves. But I was just wondering I've currently got about £35m in the bank but have been given a transfer budget of £142m. I want to go on a big spending spree and this will put me into the red, but does anyone know if Roman will pump more money into the club or will we go into administration?

Rekobeto Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'm finished with my second season with Chelsea, I have won the FA-Cup twice, and the league once. This season I'm shaping things up, and attempt to put a young side through which hopefully will give me some european knowledge, as I've been eliminated by Sevilla and Valencia in the second round and quarter finals. My team looks like this before the new season: I play a diamond-shaped midfield, like Chelsea irl. GK: Cech/Fiorillo RB: Ivanovic/Azpilicueta LB: Zhirkov/Mattock CB: Fazio/Sakho CB: Terry/Jørgensen DMC: Mikel/Busquets MC: Essien/Matic MC: Lampard/Dzagoev AMC: Agüero/Diego ST: Djalo/Sturridge ST: Balotelli/Di Santo As I have no wingers, I rely very much on the full backs to come up and cross the ball, but if I play against better opponents, I set my full backs forward runs to mix. It's a young team, but I have big faith in these kids. I have this problem though. There seems to be only the striker on the right side of my formation that scores. Every striker that is on the left side, tends to have goal draught... Anyone know any solution to this? The left striker is the "Striker" while the right striker is the "Forward", the Forward being the one who is a little lower on the field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekobeto Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I started a new save with Chelsea. I've updated the game with the Weegie-update, and I'm following the Fifa regulation of not buying anyone in the two next transfer-windows. I'm currently considering if I should also take the new Premier League-rules into consideration, but I don't know if I fully understand them, so if anyone could be nice and explain the bit about the Home-grown-rule. Must 8 of the players in the 25 man squad have to be under 21? Or does that rule count on the likes of Terry and Lampard who's been trained in England there whole life? Anyways. I'm currently laying second place with 53 point, three behind United. Haven't bought anyone. Biggest signing abroad was Shevchenko going from Dinamo Kiev to Inter for 29 million pounds. United offered 32, but Sheva rejected their contract offer... Next season I'm already considering making Mancienne, Scott Sinclair, Franco Di Santo, Rajkovic, Hutchinson, Jack Cork, Michael Woods and Kakuta get some playing time next season. Chelsea have a lot of talent in their reserve-team. I'm thinking, maybe I shouldn't buy some players, but rather try to only sign youngsters (U18) This could prove to be a more entertaining save than Buy-everything-I-Can-save with Chelsea. Anyone who have done anything similar? Anyone who can recommend any good talents already in the Chelsea-squad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogafooty Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 What tactic are you using? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercept Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Decided to make Chelsea my final long term save of FM09 after two very succesful saves at Barcelona and AC Milan. Playing on 9.0.3 so no change's to the squad outside of lacking Zhirkov, Sturridge and Turnbull. I'm already half way through the first season and have made a total of zero signings and only loaned players out. Formation and Settings Formation ~ Instructions Decided to go for the standard 4-3-3 (4-5-1) formation as it fits the players I had and I didn't want to make any first season signings. Pretty standard formation, nothing special at the end of the day. I've gone for a very quick, attacking or gung-ho tactic to try and force the opposition onto the back foot from the off. Extremely high-pressure mentality sort of tactic as I want my opposition spending so much time defending that they can't actually attack me. I'm using a Target-Man who is in the form of Drogba or Anelka with their supply set to "Mixed" as Drogba is able to work on the ground and in the air quite comfortably. Overall nothing really special. The Team and Fixtures Squad As you can see I'm half way through my season with an almost unchanged squad (I'm missing Mineiro). My attacking options have really been doing the business getting me the results when we have needed them. We could have been alot more clinical but for all the right positions the squad isn't exactly the best in the world. Malouda started off the season brilliantly and has faded towards the mid-point, but has been fairly consistent when I've needed him the most. Drogba has been lethal upfront and with the freedom I've given him he has returned the faith with 18 goals in 19 appearances so really happy with his return. Outside no real stand-out performers, with the likes of Lampard and Ballack being consistently good but never brilliant. Friendly Results ~ Premier League Results ~ Champions Leauge Results ~ League Cup Results As you can see we have been incredibly consistent playing result based football. Grinding out narrow victories when we need to and dominating teams off the park when we can. The results really don't tell the whole story however as we have played alot better than they make it seem, but a combination of a lack of a real finisher and some very good goal-keeping has meant we have been stranded at 1-0's or 2-0's quite often never scoring as freely as I would like. However the defence has really been the fore-front of the formation conceeding a total of 5 goals in 27 games, so I'm really pleased with how we have managed to do. League Table Complete Overview ~ Home Form - Away Form Overall our form has been really good but the big thing to notice is how we have scored as many goals away as we have at home, and we have done that in two less games. A little bit of a worry, but like I have said we don't have the best finishers in the squad with Malouda, Cole, Quaresma and Kalou all not the best in the world. Anelka has been a little inconsistent and generally disappears in any of the big games I've played him in, hence I've gone to using Drogba alot more than I should, so hopefully no injuries strike to ruin my season! Otherwise, again, really happy with how things have gone in the first half of the season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekobeto Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'm really loving this save. I've now signed some players, but only 16-year olds. I've taken control of both my reserve and my u18-team, and in that way I can control who get match exercise. Jan Sebek, Sam Hutchinson, Michael Mancienne, Slobodan Rajkovic, Patrick van Aanholt, Jeffrey Bruma, Rayn Bertrand, Jack Cork, Michael Woods, Daniel Philliskirk, Conor Clifford, Scott Sinclair, Gael Kakuta, Miroslav Stoch, Gökhan Tore, Franco Borini. All of these I regard as having the potential to be able to break into the first team. I've won the premiership second season in a row, with the original squad, playing the 4-1-2-1-2 formation that Ancelotti have belief in. Team: Keeper: Cech/Sebek DR: Bosingwa/Ivanovic/Hutchinson DL: A. Cole/Zhirkov/Bertrand DC: Carvalho/Alex/Mancienne DC: Terry/Bruma DMC: Mikel/Cork MC: Essien/J. Cole/Matic MC: Ballack/Malouda/Woods AMC: Lampard/J. Cole/Kakuta ST: Anelka/Sturride/Borini ST: Drogba/Kalou/Di Santo I've also gotten this awesome re-gen, Ryan Newman, he's from Ghana, and has the potential to become better than Michael Essien. Looking forward to watching him possible emulate Essien himself. Looking forwards to starting the next season. I'm, considering selling Ivanovic, Anelka, Alex and Ballack going towards the younger guys. Hutchinson, Mancienne, Sturridge and re-arranging the midfield could do the deal. As I said, I've only bought younger players, so I have a big budget to spend, If i need anything. Anyone who can see any potential flaws in the line-ups?

el sid Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 A better reserve keeper perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekobeto Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 He's actually done well those few matches his got, so I don't see any reason why I should buy a better keeper, who's won't play any matches anyway. Hilario and Turnbull both requested to get selled, because there were simply no chance for them to play regular football, therefore I think it's best to just keep Sebek as my reserve, and give him chances in league cup and unimportant matches. In that way he could be my next top-keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballinisahabit Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I decided to start a Chelsea save after reading Rekobeto's post's. I too will be following the transfer ban enforced on us but as i have'nt made any signing's in the summer i will count this as one and January as the other so im free to make transfer's next season! Im playing the Ancelotti 4-1-2-1-2 formation and lining up like this when i can: GK:Cech DR:Bosingwa DL:Cole DC:Terry DC:Carvalho DM:Essien CM:Lampard CM:Ballack AM:Deco ST:Anelka ST:Drogba Ive never used a tactic without any winger's before so i was'nt sure what to expect, but we breezed through pre-season with some very good results: Chelsea 3-0 Plymouth Argyle Chelsea 3-0 Watford Chelsea 8-0 Roda JC Chelsea 3-0 Leixoes Chelsea 5-0 Boavista Loads of goal's scored and not a shot let in so it was looking promising. Community Shield My first competitive game as Chelsea manager was a Community Shield clash with Manchester United, was expecting a close game so when we ran out comfortable 3-0 winner's i was delighted! Chelsea 3-0 Manchester United Great start to the season and to my Career! Prem League Ive played 9 games in the Prem so far with a record of 8 wins and 1 draw scored 25 and conceeded 1. Chelsea 4-0 Bolton (A) Chelsea 2-0 Fulham (H) Chelsea 2-0 West Ham (A) Chelsea 4-0 Hull City (H) Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool (A) Chelsea 5-0 Man United (H) Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal (A) Chelsea 6-0 Wigan (H) Carling Cup Chelsea 2-0 Portsmouth (A) Champs League Chelsea 4-1 Cluj (A) Chelsea 2-0 Schalke (H) Chelsea 3-0 Rangers (H) Best player so far has to be Deco who's really enjoying himself at the tip of the diamond with 7 goals and 10 assists in 10 apps, followed by Drog's who has 10 goals in 9 apps! Hope we can keep this good form up, will update again in Jan! Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballinisahabit Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Finished my first season. Community Shield Chelsea 3-0 Man Utd (N) Premier League Won it after 32 games. Carling Cup Chelsea 2-0 Portsmouth (A) Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal (A) So knocked out in the 4th round by Arsenal. FA Cup Chelsea 1-1 Everton (A) Chelsea 2-0 Everton (H) Chelsea 1-0 Wigan (A) Chelsea 2-1 Man Utd (H) Chelsea 4-0 Arsenal (H) Chelsea 2-1 Portsmouth (A) Chelsea 2-0 Sunderland (N) Pleased to have won this comp knocking out Arsenal and United along the way. Champions League I was in Group D with Rangers, Schalke and CFR Cluj. We qualified top winning 6 out of 6. 1st Knockout Round: Chelsea 2-1 FC Porto (A) Chelsea 3-1 FC Porto (H) Quarter Final: Chelsea 4-1 AC Milan (H) Chelsea 1-1 AC Milan (A) Semi Final: Chelsea 1-1 Schalke (A) Chelsea 2-1 Schalke (H) This was our toughest fixture which i wasnt expecting. The second leg was very nervy with them taking the lead through Farfan on 62 mins, i thought we was going out until Lampard struck a 30 yard screamer in the 83rd minute. The tie went into extra time at 2-2, i was expecting penaltys until the first minute of extra time stoppage time Essien bundles in the ball in at the post! Final: Chelsea 0-1 Barcelona We fully deserved to win this game in my eyes. Substitue Bojan netted a goal in 90+1 to ruin our dream! Squad n Stats Drogba was in beast mode all season 30 goals in 33 apps in the league! Really impressed with him, just wish Anelka was as profilic but he wasnt hes crap and will be on his way out the door in the summer along with Belletti and Malouda. Deco is really impressive at the tip of a diamond and Lampard was amazing from central midfield. Wont be making many changes next season priority will be a strike partner for Drogba, a RB and possibly a CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
