Scottish Mag 3 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 After seeing Gregs post I started a game unemployed but managed to get the Nantes job. For once I never signed one player ( I normally am the Harry Redknapp of FM) and managed a 4th place finish in the league, missed out on Champions League football by 4 points.

khay 10 Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Just finished my 2nd season , managed to finish 8th this time round. Same problem again could not win away from home or score enough goals. Getting Crespo in for the start of the third season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem again could not win away from home or score enough goals. Getting Crespo in for the start of the third season though. any idea how many shot on target you're having per game? if it's high and no goals then change your striker, but if it's low, look to change the way your midfield creates the chances for the strikers. No Point having a Downing-esque winger when your striker is shit in the air. Buy a clever attacking midfielder who has passing, creativity and vision all over 17 and pair him up with a hard working pacey striker and you should get a shedload of one-on-ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now top of the league after 21 games, 4 points above chelsea. Scored more goals this season all ready compared with last. Now play a 3-5-2 formation. Seems to be working. Owen has manged 8 so far. But my CB has manged 10. Just beat liverpool in the first leg of the league cup semi final. So Should manage at least one trophy this season.

The Mighty Hog 508 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Nabbed the Community Shield, Super Cup and World Club Cup so far this season. But noticed a few big scores in my U-18's so had a look at the table and their goal difference is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.../\......\o/... 0 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Cheers for the post, when do you use each tactic and what are your team instructions ? Generally depends on who i'm playing. Used the 3-4-3 against SU at home and beat them 9-0 Mostly use 4-4-2 against the big teams unless i'm playing away then i'll switch to 4-5-1 against Liverpool and Man U (they don't like it up them) and 4-3-3 counter against Chelsea and the Arse. Edit: And i've started a new game as Dortmund, got a whole 344k to spend Edited April 24, 2007 by .../\......\o/... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 508 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Was right there in the title chase until the end of April and the players bottled it, ended up third. But I was in the CL final again, against Chelsea. My u-18 team were amazing, they were unbeaten and had a ridiculous GD: After my "big stars" turning gutless for the second end of season in a row I flogged most of them and brought through some promising younger players. Came from 3-0 at home to the Arse to draw 3-3 and won away at Shef Utd 5-0, then played Arsenal again in the super cup: Slightly lucky but I'll take it.

The Mighty Hog 508 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Won the World Club Cup in December. Went out at the Group stage of the CL which I can't ever remember doing before, so was less than impressed. Anyway with mostly kids I won the league: UEFA Cup And the FA Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Hog 508 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Have had to start a new game as my PC died. So I've started as MK Dons. Sent the board looking for a parent club and have got very little to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Went back to my Real Madrid game on 05. Clicky. Won that, the spanish cup and the champions league. Most of it down to having a striker like this: Tevez Doing a bit of budget shopping in the transfer window... In comes: Bonera, Fernando Torres and Nelson Valdez and Sergio Volpi. All for free. Now I have 45 million + player sales. De Rossi or bust. Need a new DM as I sold Xabi Alonso to Milan for 40 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordieshandy 0 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Left East Fife in the Scottish First Division, and went to Kalmar in Sweden, took them from the bottom of the First Division Elite to third in the Premierleague, qualified for the Royal League and Europe. Don't think I can get them onto win the league like. Keep getting offers for jobs in League 2, but holding out for a Championship job, I mean I am an ex-England manager.
