[SI] Football Manager 2008 (18 Viewers)

[Albertmare]

-This is the weakest juve squad i've ever seen. Almiron, Tiago, Marchisio are average, Nedved's attribute decrease dramatically while Alex's physical is a disaster. Our youngsters are big disappointment except Criscito. Though Giovinco is still a wonderkid but his attribute is as half as it was in Fm07

I just added Van Der Vaart in my current team , and he is the only one player i bought this season , and he does well so far , won 9 games in the row , included 4 Pre-season games , I scores 16 goals in other 5 games :eyebrows: and so far , i'm the king of Serie A .

Serie A title , here i coming !

how can you say , this is the weakest Squad ever , dude ? change to another formation or something else .

I bought 4 players this season. Maxi Rodriguez(AMRC) for 24 million, Lugano(DC) for 7 million, Milosevic(SC) on a free transfer and Adam Johnson(AML) for 7 million.

My formation is now:

----------------------Buffon----------------------------
Zebina--------Andrade-------------Lugano------------Chiellini
Camoranesi/Maxi--------Nocerino---------Nedved/Maxi----------Nedved/Camoranesi
----------------------Trezeguet----------------Iaquinta/Palladino

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

in

Manuel Da Costa for 3.5 m
Van der Vaart for 11.8 m
Vaillati for 2m
I want Hamsik but napoli rejected my offer because rivalry between clubs

I sold Legro,Boumsong,Almiron,Belardi.

 

[Cuti]

also i sold Olivera for 3 million to Lens

 

[rainhard]

in

breno (CB) from sao paolo...

he is wonderkid 18 years old

Giovinco is God... his stats is awesome.
after he come back from loan. i play him as striker.after 8 games in seria A
He get his first cap in Italy NT.

andrea luci (DM) is great too. loaned out by Juve in 1st season.

 

[Oggy]

I sold Olivera (2,2M€) and Legro (1,2M€)

Than i bought Lugano for 7M€, Modric for 6M€, Menez from Monaco for 17M€ and Martins for 7,25M€ (plus adittional payments). I though about buying VDV for 18,5Me but then I realised that I'm covered at CM/AM position so I gave up on him. I also tried to buy Zapata but damn Udinese wants 30M€ (12M€ for Felipe), also I've offered all my budget for Rosina 30M€ but Torino rejecetd my bid, bu they accepted Fiorentina's 11M€ for co-ownership

I'm pretty satisfied with my current team, I won two matches in the league (against Catania and Parma) and in coppa I beated Parma on penalties. I'm still waiting Camo to shine and Alex to get into shape (he was injured for 4 weeks). Criscito is suprisingly good, he is my choice over Boumsong now when Lugano is injured and Martins scored hattrick on his debut I loaned Palla to Siena because there is to much competiton for striker role but if something goes bad I'm gonna recall him.

One thing that really bothers me are transfers, they are gone crazy (Lazio sold Behrami to Arsenal for 34M€)

 

[Mark]

do you guys think the ratings for Juve players and relatively unknown players like De Silvestri...accurate?

 

[rainhard]

2nd season... only buy 1 player @January transfer windows...

DIEGO from werder @33M Euro (if you can afford... buy Robinho too hehehe) Diego's soul mate

Made 2 goals in his debut ... great Job.

p.s : do you notice goal from set piece (corner and indirect free kick often disallowed) ??? I had 4 goals in a row from corner disallowed, shittt...

 

[Oggy]

Me too !!! Nedved scored a goal from a free-kick but it was disallowed cuz Iaquinta was offside (not to mention that he was nowhere near the goal)

 

[rainhard]

3 goal with same process from Criscito ( near post flick on ) , but disallowed because foul by Criscito.

1 from Trez. because offside..

Guys I have a problem:

I have done everything after the instructions,but I got a "hatred" file,which I can't open.Anyone knows how to solve this problem?Would be much appreciated.

I don't even have FM2008.MDF file or FM2008.MDS file,all I got in the FM 2008 folder is "htd-fm08" and "hatred" file. S*it I'm too dumb to steal games.

 

[Cuti]

someone else downloaded the hatred file

 

[Zé Tahir]

My squad:

Iaquinta
Trezeguet
Del Piero
Palladino
Andrade
Chiellini
Criscito
Grygera
Zebina
Van der Vaart
Camoranesi
Zanetti
Almiron
Tiago
Nocerino (leaving)
Molinaro
Nedved
Sali
Meira


I think I have way to many CM's, right? I want to acquire Diego during the winter mercato.

Any help is appreciated :thumbs:

your primary problem is that you don't have any goalers

DON'T let Nocerino leave, he is better than Tiago in my game, he is a fighter, and compliments Nedved very well in the centre.

Using your current players, i'd line up with:

---------------------Buffon-------------------
Zebina-----------Meira------------Andrade-------------Chiellini
Camoranesi--------Nocerino----------Nedved------------Van Der Vaart
----------------Trezeguet--------------Palladino/Iaquinta

plus you should have bought Lugano not Meira

-I mean compare to previous version like fm06 or even fm07, this is the weakest squad. In older versions, i never have to buy any star player for 1st season

Van der Vaart is a accomplished Attacking Mid though. And if I keep Nocerino, who do I sell? Almiron?

I downloaded "hatred" files and didn't worked for me (I couldn't unrar it).

I'm gonna PM you and give you links.

 

[Oggy]

VDV is playing as CM/CAM not as a LM

Andrade is big disappointment in my game he can't play over 6

 

[Cuti]

then play Van Der Vaart in the position Nedved is playing in that formation and move neddy onto the left, but cause of his age its better not to play him on the wing cause it will be strenuous. In January buy his replacement, depending on how much money you have. If you have 25 million buy Maxi Rodriguez and then play Camoranesi on the left. Around 8 million buy Ricchiuti from Rimini, great free kicks and corners, around 7 million buy Adam Johnson from Middlesbrough, he is 18 or 19, fantastic, going to be a world class player in my game

VDV is playing as CM/CAM not as a LM

Andrade is big disappointment in my game he can't play over 6

I though he was an AML, my mistake.

Andrade is doing ok for me so far, touch wood

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

I won all games(including Juventus 5 Lazio 1) with this tactics

Van der Vaart(Playmaker)
Iaquinta(target man-run onto ball)
