{SI} Football Manager 2009 (20 Viewers)

[Guardian]

Yeah there should be an uncensored version. How about:

Cristiano Ronaldo was sexually harassed in the locking room by Rooney, got anal infection and he will be sidelined for 3 months.

or

Jose Maria Guti underwent a sex change surgery and changed his/her name to Maria Guti. He was moved to Real Madrid women's team.

Only if you are Turin in 1957.

that was messed up
i think it was a planned crash cause i heard that they were pretty good back then!

 

[Henry]

it's very similar to the busby disaster for manu, very good team completely wiped out. both are tragedies.

 

[Geof]

So, I won every single thing in my first two seasons with Juve (2CL, 2Scudetto, 1 Italian Cup, 1 Italian Supercup and 1 European Supercup). This gets a bit boring, really.

I'm looking to take over a fun team in a lower league. I'm thinking maybe a team in the French League 2. Any suggestions?

Only if you are Turin in 1957.

You mean 1949, right?

Ok, so I started a game as unemployed.

Never did that before, anyone got experience with this? Come to think of it, I don't think I ever changed clubs during a same FM game.

I loaded Belgium (up to third league); France (National); Netherlands (2nd div), and Italy (Serie B). Currently waiting for opportunities... it's a tough job market

Interesting. Let us know how it goes.

So far, not so good. My candidature for first league clubs (PSV, Feyenoord, Utrecht, Roeselare, Mons) was obviously laughed away. Second division team Olympic Charleroi also refused me.

I have gone on holiday, with the option of being candidate for any club, and it's still running... Maybe I should have set more lower leagues... I hope to get a try at a belgian 3rd league club before christmas.

I'll consider this game as won once I'm appointed Juventus manager!

Does someone have a good tactic for Juventus? I'm on year 2008 and really struggle, lost against Inter, Barca, Lazio, Roma. It's getting embarassing. I tried alot of differrent tactics but didnt have any luck.

Straight 4-4-2, normal creativity, reserved defensive line, slow buildup, use targetman. Make sure you do a lot of fitness training during the summer. Make sure you have Chiellini and another top quality centerback like Zapata next to him. Don't use Legro get someone better.

dont start your game with random reputation..choose the former international football player option...

yeah...straight 4-4-2 is awesome for Juve...but i aint sure if you should use ML/MR or AML/AMR...i think neddy and gio are more suitable for pure wingers.
although i normally use fast tempo i agree that slow build up is better in italy...burke told me that.
legro is awful as far as i know,his attributes for tackling,marking,concentration are about 10-12 in FM08.that sucks for a CB.

I chose semi-pro experience.

I landed a job at SC Wielsbeke, Belgiand 3rd division. I'm not payed, no-one is. All my players are amateurs, wich means that they don't have a contract and can leave at any time. Oh and they suck.

The plan is to book some results (i.e. not getting relegated) and get out of this shithole ASAP

dude,that sucks...start a new one with the best rep and choose al leagues from italy england spain (maybe france and germany too)
its nice coaching a Juve feeder club...juve stabia or pro sesto

AML/AMR works better for me.

I'd rather use a 4-3-3 and do I sometimes, but it isn't as solid.

I guess, but I didn't care enough to look up the exact date.

Thanks for the response. What do you mean with straight 4-4-2? No arrows? and I don't know what reserved defensive line is, I think you mean tempo with slow buildup. Also who should I use as targetman? Trez/Amauri/Iaq?

I also have FM 2009 9.3 to get everything clear.

Something like this works well. No need to use arrows. Use a deep defensive line (that's what I mean by reserved) and close down in your own half. Tempo a little slower or normal. Passing style mixed.

This works for me at least and it depends on the players you have.

 

[Stephan]

wait? you dont have tiago there?

Thanks alot, that cleared things up ^^

i usually use 4-3-1-2. made my pitch narrow also, so that works better for me rather than teams using wide formations. With both of my full backs being competend LM's and RM's, i sometimes switch to 2-5-1-2 and go for all out attack during the final stages if im losing. usually play short passes along with quick pace. attack down the middle of the pitch, and set my AMC as the playmaker.
