[SI] Football Manager 2008 (8 Viewers)

[Sheik Yerbouti]

i won teh scudetto in teh first season btw. and the only purchase i did befroe teh season was Fernando Valera(D CR, MR) and then bought Mellberg mid season, though i didnt play him much... was pretty hard to beat Inter though... luckily, they had a few draws and a losses towards teh end...

the best thing though, i that im on a 23 game unbeaten run... whcih includes a 18 game winning streak! it came to an end when i drew with Inter...

anyways, i bought Huntelaar and Di Natale in the the transfer season again, but lost out on Joao Moutinho as Inter bought him for a bid a lil lesser than mine in value (38m and 40m+clauses). that is one guy i wanted to buy... he was awesome in FIFA 08, so thought he might be great here also!

But with this squad...this way:

I normally run this way:

Are you playing with Juve ? lol, that's exactly how our tactic was via King Lippi days

EDIT: Ahh I see

Look at my squad....

(I just sold Aquilani to Milan after 4 years of injuries for 20M Euros...he was valued at 14....)

 

[Eddy]

any reason why youre playing 4-1-3-2..I can understand you get a lot off ball possession

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I love how no one wants "ze Germans"!

I came up with this style of play over 4 years of FM, you want the long or the short version.....?

 

[Eddy]

long would be more interesting in a non sexual way that is...

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Ohhh, this is my "youth" squad....currently 5th in the Bundesliga 2, I had to give some players away so I didn't win and have two squads in the Bundesliga....

 

[Eddy]

Renato Augusto is the man btw

 

[Marc]

Yea, dude. I have the editor too.

Well I found over several seasons that it is just as good to have many CM's that play wide than wide-playing middies. The wide CM's tend to play just as wide, but are better all-around....the only lacking characteristic is the lack of pace and the lack of crossing. The overlap then is the strength, positioning, and stamina, which are most often rare in true outside players.

The key to my system working is unit....true lock-down hard-nose tall CB's, a playmaker DM (Pirlo-style) and a Center CM that can pass and do it "all"(Joao).

After you have those, the secondary parts are a good set of attacking backs, which I have, and a good set of "delpie's" up top.

The key to the whole system is the strikers. You cannot run my system and have a Trez or a Toni, the strikers have to be like Del Piero or Mutu..... Dribblers with pace and passing ability that can finish. This is why I get most goals from either outside CM's or on the counter.

But I again stress that the #1 key is a Pirlo-like DM, and the #2 is an all-around passer at my C-CM position.



any questions?
