You should have him kind of like this: Attacking Mentality: 17-18 Creative Freedom: However high his creativity is Passing: 5-10 depending on how you play Closing Down: 20 Forward Runs: Mixed Run with Ball: Often-unless my memory is gone and his dribbling is below 15 Long Shots: Often as hell Through balls: Mixed unless his passing is below 15 Make sure Tight Marking isn't ticked and that Hold up Ball is ticked. That should work just fine. It does the trick for Rooney anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikal Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I just got to january transfer window and AC Milan offered £9.75m for Piqué, naturally I would of rejected, he has been quality for me! But... Gill thought he'd take matters into his own hands and accept the offer! Was gutted!! Besides that not been bad in the transfer market. Been offered Daniel Alves for Carrick, so happily accepted that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicForza Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 In response to previous posts about Huntelaar and Adriano: I bought Huntelaar in my first demo game and he banged in the goals. With the injury problems Ihad I would have been lost without him. I did NOT set him as a target man and gave him plenty of creative freedom. He doesn't have great pace or great arial ability, but he sure does find space and attract the ball in and around the box. Good buy. I bought Adriano in my second demo game and used him as a target man with passing set to "play to feet." Adriano has a ppm of "likes ball played to feet." He is so strong and has excellent technical skills. He is very effective this way. I tried to buy Jo, but couldn't get a work permit for him. I would like to try Gyan Asamoah, Mario Gomez and Amauri.

davidbowie Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Here is my advice on what staff to hire and fire. Note this is on a large database, with many leagues loaded, so some of these may not exist for you. Obviously, if you really wanted to, you could fire most of the scouts and physios and start from scratch and just hire the best people you can find. Might cost a bit. Probably better to wait for the 2nd rate guys contracts to expire, people like Strudwick, Whelan, Remember to offer mutual termination to all of these people. They should all accept and you save some money. Fire: Scouts: Derek Langley - Poor scouting ratings. Vernon Lee - Poor scouting ratings. Martin Ferguson - Poor scouting ratings. Gilles Roulion - Poor scouting ratings. Jim Lawlor - Decent ratings, just not good enough compared to the people Man U should have. Jimmy Ryan - Poor scouting ratings. Coach Mike Phelan - No real area of expertise (iirc). Ole - Unfortunately, he has a max star rating of 4 (which is in multiple areas, instead of what I think he should be, which is a 5 star shooting coach at the very least), and he won't sign a "youth coach" contract (which I wanted to do to keep him at the club and is what appears to be happening IRL). Tony Whelan - Jack of all trades, master of none. Physio Garry Armer - Physio and Motivating not good enough. Neil Hough - Physio, Motivating and Discipline not good enough. Tony Gill - Club only allows 4 Physios. He is the cheapest of lower rated physios to fire. Steve McNally - You can do better. ------------------------------------------- Hire Scouts Antonio Bastos Lopes - 20 for Potential. 180k Daniel Rolland - 18 for Ability, 20 for Potential, good knowledge of main euro nations and brazil. 220k Jose Ramon Fuertes - Brilliant scout. Costs alot though. If you are cheap might want to find someone less. 1 mil. Luis Costa - 20 for Potential, good knowledge of South America. Josep Boada - 19 and 19, young. 1 mil. Sign these guys, and you will have the only 20 rated potential scouts in the large DB, and 6 of the 8 who are potential 19 or higher. Coaches You can sign many of your youth team coaches onto full team contracts. I'd say any of the youth coaches with a 6 or 7 star rating should be moved to a full team coach role. Leave Eamonn Malvey as a Youth Coach, use him as the Youth Team manager. Philippe Lucas - 7 star attack, tactics, defending coach, very good with youngsters - 350k Philippe Burgio - 7 star tactical coach, good with youngsters, good tactical knowledge. Possible future Assistant Manager. 350k Jon Dalzell - 7 star fitness coach, extremely good motivation and discipline. 80k Gert Vanderuzen - 7 star fitness coach, has 20 for physio, 18 of discipline. 120k Armand Garrido - 7 stars for tactics, ball control, attacking, shooting and set pieces. 550k These coaches, and offering full coach roles to youth coaches, you should be able to gain 7 stars in all but one category, with that category being filled when one of the 6 or lower star coaches expires (most of the ones I've NOT sacked are because their compo would be close or over 1 million, the board will generally block for compo of 325k and up). Physio Jose Luiz Runco - 20 Physio, good discipline and motivation. Cheap. 97k Magnus Forsblad - 20 Physio, good discipline. Free John Brown - 20 Physio, Cheap, good with youngsters. 7k One thing to think about is a possible assistant manager, Carlos does not seem to want to re-sign no matter what I offer him. It's expensive (it's around 4.3 million for the staff transfer fees alone, let alone firing the old ones), but I think it's worth it. Even a single future star player from the scouts will pay everything, maybe that one extra point a 7 star coach gets out of a player is the difference between winning and losing.

davidbowie Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 50 mil for Rio should be an instant accept. Wes Brown is so ridiculously over-rated in this version for some reason, you have Pique as well, plus defenders are often no-where near as pricey for you to buy as a regular player. Saha will be impossible to sell until his injury is gone. You should be selling Fletcher for 5-8 million (GBP) instead of Carrick. Simpson will most likely end up as a good premiership player, might be a decent replacement. Foster will be a decent replacement for VDS, Rooney and Tevez will be pretty poor target men, the only real option for a target men using them 2 is the "run onto ball" option, with forward runs for them set, and through balls to often for the players who will feed them.

heron Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Started using a 4-3-3 system. Only signed Arouca after I couldn't get Pandev. I wanted to give everyone a fair change, so I didn't sell any player at first (though O'Shea was offloaded in the january window). Normal line-up: VDS Neville - Rio - Vidic - Evra Carrick - Hargeaves - Scholes Ronaldo - Rooney - Tevez So far (25 games), the EPL is a two-horse race between Chelsea and me. Arsenal is 15 points behind and Liverpool is somewhere around 10th place (Rafa has already been sacked). VDS is unfortunately beginning to make some mistakes, especially when compared to the heroics from e.g. Friedel and Lehmann (my boogey keepers). Fletcher is becoming quite the energetic midfielder, and Tevez and Rooney score enough (though the forward 3 miss so many easy changes!). Lost the CS to Chelsea and the LC to Arsenal (due to a superkeeper on the other side ). Let's see if I can keep Chelsea behind me (7 points now) and win the ECL (a lot harder). Like this game!

Guest king-rio Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 who ever said u couldn't sell saha i just sold him to aston villa for 10 million pounds. anyway i now need advice i made speculative offers for pandev, adriano, huntelaar and owen expecting to get only one of the bids accepted but i have had all 4 bids accepted so who should i sign seeing as have already got tevez and rooney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbowie Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hmm. I tried to sell him for 7 when he was injured and I got a blank "no-one is interested due to his injury status". Probably got lucky. I'd avoid huntelaar, he's not strong enough with headers to be a target man, not really fast enough to be a fast striker, and his finishing and composure is not all that great. I'd be looking for a big target man. Someone like Joshua Kennedy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
