well thats what i use

good ol 4-4-2. I'm not really the best at the tactics part, which this game is all about i guess =D

For a winger get Schweinsteiger(sp?)!

It's all about tactics. A standard 4-4-2 just doesn't cut it without tweaks and adjustments.

I use

4 Defenders
1 DM/C, infront of the back 4
2 Wingers
1 one behinde the attackers
2 Strikers

4-1-2-1-2 Formation

TheDoc · 05-10-2005 12:21PM

ive started using a kinda 4-3-3 formation. my team is

I use robinho and henry up front with smith in the middle but just behind them. I use parker,guarain and reyes in the middle and use wingbacks.

But I thnk I need a more attack minded right back. I have hoyte and lauren but dnt think they are the best on the front foot. Left back im fine with cole and clichy. Any suggestions. And ben arfa is valued by his club for 25 mill, no thanks -=D

well 4-3-3 aint working for me. Its so hard to find a really good formation, i am jsut sticking 4-4-2 till i find one that is match winning.

I use 4-4-2 with both central mids dropped back but running up to central midfield. Both wingers run fully forward and have free roles.

Won the league by 29 points with Shels, and made the CL groups easily enough.

Well this post is becoming my little blog for my team

Have to thank you all for your input.

Well I purchased three new additions to my squad for this season. Duff for €7m,Huth for €7 and Reina the goalie for €5m + Flamini. Got ir dof Lehman and crespo too.

Guarann, the midfield guy, has been great for me since i bought him. Robinho and henry are tearing defences apart. Smith is doing well as my second top goalscorer.

Mokoena looks to be on his way to me too so any advice where to play him? Leadger,Jonathan, did great for me, bought him for like 500k or something and now he is worth 6m, tho he wants to leave, and its a re acuring problem for me, mainly becaue i dont rotate i think.

My defense was the reason i lost the title last season, condecing too many goals. So I went hunting and found huth and reina who have really sealed me up. Clichy has stepped in for cole and is playing really well.

I jsut think I might go shoppig maybe for a new right back and maybe another winger. I alwyas seem to get roung 13 mill transfer budget but then they give me another 30 million like a week before the end. I was thinking of saving my money this year and buying adriano and sell viera and get Torres.

What you guys think. Viera is now 30, very injury prone and has a nice value, maybe i should offload him.

TheDoc · 05-10-2005 05:28PM

And now jsut got offered 50 million for Henry. That could help me acquire Adriano or Torres. And smith and robinho are more then capable of scoring.

Lafortezza · 05-10-2005 07:04PM

Get Adriano if you can, he is at least as good as Henry, probably better, and younger too.
There's some players in the game that I never sell, Vieira/Ballack/Vieri/Adriano/Roberto Carlos/etc. The will do the job for you until they keel over at 36, and if you try to cash in on them for good money when they are 31, who are you going to get to replace them??

Vokes · 05-10-2005 07:18PM

Get Torres, he's even younger, and an EU national, so he wont get called away for internationals at crazy times like a South American.

TheDoc · 05-10-2005 07:38PM

i think i need to sort out myself and get a tactic that rips teams apart. I see friends and people ehre with poeple scoring 50 goals a season etc and i dont get that. Smith,Robinho and henry each give me maximum 25 goals a season.

TheDoc · 05-10-2005 07:39PM

Maybe if i like whip my team or a savegame here someone can fool around wit my team and tell me mybest tactic.

I think 25 goals is good. Ones in a blue moon one of my players might get over 50 or 56 as i posted above. But the player during the season did not get injured and played most of the games in the season to get that.

What i look out for is goals and assists, Like torres will get you 30 goals and maybe 25ass in a season. While other guys will just get you goals and not set up other players. Its not all about getting one player to score 50 its about winning the game.

TheDoc · 05-10-2005 10:25PM

Well it seems anything i ever say the opposite happens. My team has really clicked.

Duff,Huth,Mokoena have really helped my side. Robinho and Henry have scored 15 goals, 12 games int othe season =D I've only played i think 8 league gmaes and they have 8 goals or something its amazing. Mokoena looks really good im always seeing him in the box, and Duff has 4 10's in a row =D

Lafortezza · 05-10-2005 11:24PM

Have a look at my Juventus/Chelsea thread(s) on this forum, they may have fallen of the first page though. I've screen shots there of my formation and it's pretty much put your players in their proper positions and you r winnar!!1

BadCharlie · 06-10-2005 03:41PM

Well i have stoped playing this game now as the new version is just about here. Have it ordered all ready and holidays booked " just kidding ".
