No, figured that would just piss everyone off. He's well liked. He also lists Juve as one of his favorite clubs and he has a good following among the fans and in the locker room.

dont get rid of vidal!!! By those stats he's clearly the best defender of the lot of them!! get rid of barzagli

Ranieri's a dumbass in FM09 also! I played against Juve with Udinese, and made only one sub, with both Nedved and Camo at 60% fitness. And Gio was on the bench!

 

[Noodle]

Well, I guess they wanted to make the game as realistic as possible

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Not sure if they suceeded with that, cos with the same lineup as we have now, they're leading Serie A

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Whoa, that's just not cool.

right i've run into a bit of a brick wall with my FM game. I'm playing as Barca in 2010/11 and I have an amazing team but for some reason my strikers wont score goals. I've got carlos vela, eto'o and David Villa as my main 3 goal poachers but they all go quiet in league games. Villa has 8 league goals and is my leaging scorer in the league but eto and vela have 1 and 3 respectively (most of their goals game in cup competitions agains shit teams). I had a similar problem last year, whereby my strikers didnt score enough goals. During my first year Eto'o got 25 goals in 27 games and whenever i normally play as Juve Amauri gets me a ratio of about 0.7 per game :luckyluke:

Here's my tactics and instructions, if anyone knows why the strikers aren't scoring please help, i would destroy la liga if they could be bothered to put the ball in the back of the net!!

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Try shorter passing, more through balls.

FM09 must be really messed up then.

Cheers, i'll give it a shot. All my creative guys atm are giving through balls though, just my idiot strikers cant finish them!! lol

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

My Juventus team in FM08, December 2012 is being wrecked with injuries.

Rossi was the first to go down, was out 4 months, still has a month left to go.
Marchision sprained an ankle and still has a month to go
Van der Vaart has a torn hamstring and still has 2 months to go
Aguero has strained knee ligaments and is out for 2 months
Saviet has a torn calf muscle and is done for 4 fucking months.

UNLUCKY!

LIKE UNLUCKY LUKE!

well actually i played it...last week for the 1st time

Then put the strikers under special training schedule and put the Finishing bar to Maximum. Let those bastards suffer!

So, after winning the CL and finishing second in the league Im planning to use this squad next season...any suggestions? I wanted to sign Benzema first but Lyon want about 40 Million €.

 

[Firestarter]

Aiight, I'll try and help you off the top of my head:

Try these players:
Defenders: Daniel Opare, Mamadou Sakho, Rafinha.
Midfielders: Jérémy Toulalan, Mathieu Bodmer, Alan Dzagoev, Miralem Pjanić

Actually on second thought, why buy Benzema? Just sign Franck Ribéry for 40m you have enough firepower upfront anyways.

 

[Vini.Alarm]

Thanks for the quick response. Ribery would be ok and not that pricey but I would have to bench one of my over the top awesome AMs for him. Ill check out your suggestions now.
Edit:Woah,that Sakhodude is awesome.

 

[Firestarter]

Your welcome. I'm guessing that you're in your second season so you can just put Ribéry on the right wing instead of Camo, and rotate him in. Word, Sakho is greatness, and Opare has potential.

 

[Vini.Alarm]

Yes,thats my second season. I bought Thiago Neves as a Camo-Backup but he is very variable so I guess thats not a big problem. Real wants Chiellini atm.They are offering me 40 Million €+some other bonuses

btw:Is it guaranteed that Nedved will retire after the first year?I hope hell be good Assistancecoach(Probably not the right word) :biggrin:

Edit:They want more then 12 Million for Sakho...what the fack.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Try getting Federico Fazio. He's a great CB.

 

[Vini.Alarm]

Milanrats signed Fazio.
Im after Sakho now but Paris rejected my 19 Million € offer.And Riberys wages are hilarious...they pay him 8 Million every yearumpkin:

Edit:They want 41 Million € for him now.
