Gyan looks good too, although my scout said he probably wouldnt get a work permit. Eddie Johnson is still an option, but his CA looks like it has been nerfed a bit.

Donaldoholic Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 My first post... My team is almost default as I've only signed Michael Owen (9m). In another game I signed Huntelaar for 4.7m. I just put him on my shortlist, put a few bids in and declared my interest, and after about a month he put himself on the transfer list for 4.7m. I've put together a pretty decent formation over the past week with various teams and is working very well with United. A lot of chances are made so when Owen's fully fit he'll be knocking them in for fun. The only problem I have is to get Ronaldo more involved. He does a couple of nice things now and again, but I just want more from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinaldo Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Nah,I tend to sign targetmen with minimum of 16 for jumping and heading and i find Huntelaar stats are just below this mark and hes way better irl.15 for jumping doesnt really win many headers tho i guess it depends on your tactics.by the way Vagner Love is ace with ball played to feet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Valentino Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ah... another late return to a new Man Utd thread... typical of me. Anyhow! I finished the demo as Manchester United in about 2 days, I am quite happy with the game although there are a few niggles that annoy me slightly, one is Ronaldo and Rooney's PA being close to their CA even though they are still very young and always improving as seen last season. The second is the fact that Ronaldo and Kaka are still 2nd class players behind Ronaldinho, Messi, Villa, Silva in stat wise anyhow. But anyway, after swapping Tevez or Rooney for Berbatov my results actually dived, so I think I will play again and just use Rooney and Tevez as my main partnership like in FM2007. I am not sure whether I will use Anderson as a ST or an MC, I havent decided yet. And I may swoop for Silva as an AML... Also, I like the look of Foster, even though he is injured he looks amazing and due to coach reports I have reason to believe he has high potential! yay!

crazy gra Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Foster has definitely been improved for 08, which is good, but if FM08 is like previous versions then keepers won't improve much after their early twenties like outfield players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evon Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Pandev is ffffb But Rooney is better. I've got 3 almost identical strikers now and they're all playing well. They're all strong, creative, fast, great technically, can pass, can shoot from far and are fairly clinical. According to FM, similar strikers definitely can play together.

srezel Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi, ive just started a game with the Red Devils, got Adriano in on loan and Ignashevich on a free. Been reading great things about Van Der Vaart, should i go for him? I also wouldn't mind beefing up my wings with some good talent, any reccomendations? Also with Adriano in, reckon i should still look for another striker, maybe a target man? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like Van Der Vaart, but he's nothing compared to our own scholesy. on the wing you already have talent.. but if you want more talent on the left, Joaquin and Silva should be excellent signings (both Valencia) Targetman, well you do have Saha <_< Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Paico Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I don't think its worth buying an AMC considering that Anderson improves very fast if you play him from the start. At the end of the demo Quieroz prefered him to Scholes. He scored 8 for me which is a good return considering Scholes only had 3 and they played a similar amount of games.

Ricardo Kaka\' Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 scholes picked up an injury for me so i was kinda forced to buy Van der vaart. I bought zapater cause hargreaves is always injured and my scouts rate him highly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFC4LIFE Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 ***Mod told me to move this into here*** Basically I play a 4-4-1-1 tactic at home with Rooney or Tevez play behind the target man and a 4-2-3-1 tactic in difficult away matches. Both tactics using a playmaker and target man, bringing me much success. So in the demo i signed Huntelaar as my target man, but he has been disappointing for me. App: 20(3) Scored: 6 Assisted: 4 Avg. Rating: 7 Saha looks much better then Huntelaar when he comes on. When the full game comes out, i'm stuck between 2 paths on where to go, and this where i need your advice. 1.)Don't sign any players. Use Saha as my target man and Rooney if needed, who has played a couple of times for me as a target man and done well. Then in my 2nd season buy A.Gyan, who if i'm correct should have gained italian nationality therefore not needing a work permit(wouldn't mind confirmation on this???). He would be my perfect target man. And after a few sales and left over transfer budget money, buy Okaka as my second target man. Leaving me with Rooney and Tevez(Playing behind the TM) and Gyan and Okaka(my 2 Target Men). 2.) Buy Huntelaar, but in the home tactic use him as a normal striker and in the away tactic use Saha. Then in my 2nd season buy Gyan. Leaving me with Rooney/Tevez and Gyan and Huntelaar, which gives me more variety. Because i like using target men in both my tactics, i'm edging over towards option 1. What would you guys(or gals Smile) do in my position??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evon Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Great tip: Don't buy either. Buy a better TM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killzone Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think Eddie Johnson is still going to be quality. Compared his starting stats to start of game for 2007. In 2008 his Dribbling up from 6 to 13 Passing up 9 to 12 Acceleration up 16 to 18 Agility/Balance/Pace up 1 Positioning up 7 to 11 Team Work up 8 to 10 Work rate down 14 to 12 Heading down 16 to 14 Hes still going to be a quality Targetman once his Heading stat gets developed.

Also, if all the teams say the asking price is to high, then i reduce the price slightly and repeat again. 1st team players are the easiest, you just Put them up for sale and select the "not needed in the club" and other lower teams throughout the world will go crazy. The price you see that I've sold my players are quite under the usual price i get for my players. I've played 4 full 08 Demo games now.

Silva, however, is much more expensive. I offered 50 mio which was refused. Who's the better value for money is hard to answer as I haven't tried any of them and don't know what the price of Silva is I would however say Quaresma for a few seasons, but Silva on the other hand is only 21 years old, so he'll probably last 10 years.

Evon Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 By selling reserve and fringe players. From off the top of my head I sold: A bunch of reserves for a total of £7.75m, Fletcher-£6.5m and Silvestre-£4.5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonis Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Ajust your budget also. Lower your weekly wage bill and you can get as much has 10-15m asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not much. As you also can see, then it almost adds up with the transfer money i made from selling players and buying. Also, adjusting you're player wage / trasnfer budget helps a lot. And also, setting the expectations for winning the league to high increases you're budget. But keep in mind, theres a lot of expectations from the board, i think if you don't win the premiere league or champions league then you'll be sacked, but I'm not sure. I don't know how the board react. Also keep in mind the "2 year plan" the board has set up for you. hope this helps you to increase you're transfer budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
