FOOTBALL Football Manager Discussion

[King Pietersen]

I'm a legend. I just had a game against Hull at home. Prior to this game Totti had gone 2 games without a goal, putting in 2 fairly average performances. So, I had a cunning plan, no I would not go for my usual rotation striker in Jo, didn't go for Valeri Bojinov either. Nope, I took a risk and put 18 year old City striker Ched Evans into the First XI for his first career appearance. How does the young lad perform? Well, he scored a fantastic hat-trick =D. Scored 1 from outside the box, one with a header and the other a placed shot from in the box. The lad's class, give him a go.

Go to the Chile team. They have some right class players.

Just beat Utd 3-2 . Fantastic game. Pizzaro and Sheva have been pretty crap recently so I decided to start with Scott Sinclair. I had him run to the left wing. He opens the scoring . Then Marcelo gives away a penalty and Tevez scores. Then Vidic scores a header at the stroke of half time. I levelled the game with Joe Cole. Then in the 85th minute Florent Malouda, after coming on from the bench, scores the winner .

Just had a look at the table and WTF? I'm top then it's Everton, Reading and Bolton. Arsenal are 5th after 17 games. :S

End of the year and it's been fantastic. Rafinha came 2nd in Defender of the year. Cech won best goalie. I won Manager of the month again . After 20 games. Won 18, lost 1, drew 1. Signed Kroos, Salas, unknown guy named Silva and LUCA TONI ! Sold Bridge for 4.8 mil. Pretty good deal. I'm great .

someone help me please

What is wrong with this skin? Every skin i download it is like this i deleted the config but it keeps reappearing every time i play it is really annoying

 

[King Pietersen]

Have you made sure to untick "Use skin cache"? Could be the problem......

That's Bluu as well isn't it? I'm mates with one of the 2 guys that made that sig =D. I use that one myself, it's stunning, makes the game look so much nicer when compared with the original skin.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Aguero and Toni are a fantastic partnership . Kun's really got going and Toni is the finisher I needed .

 

[King Pietersen]

Told ya you didn't want to sell Aguero =D

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Yeah I was very hasty in saying I should sell him. I've got my whole team figured out now:

Cech
Rafinha--Terry--Carvalho--Marcelo
Makelele
-Lampard--Ballack-
Aguero
Drogba--Toni​

OR

Cech
Rafinha--Terry--Carvalho--Marcelo
Makelele
-Obi Mikel--Ballack-
Lampard
Aguero--Toni​

Also Gluu is my skin as well, it's class. I hate the FM08 normal skin.

 

[Ollie_H]

is sortitoutsi the best site for editing 2008?

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Yeah it is .

Playing mind games with Moyes . He's the only real competition in the League at 2nd. I'm 17 points ahead though with 13 games left .

 

[adyhorn]

Dan, seeing as you play on ADDM, could you recommend a young back-up left back and a defensive midfielder, I have £34.5 million to spend.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Spoiler

Marcelo costs about £5-7 mil. Fantastic left back. Claude Makélélé is quite old but is a fantastic defensive midfielder. If you want a younger one Miguel Velosa .

 

[Ollie_H]

How do I get back to the numbers for the attributes? at the moment I have them in bars and would quite like the numbers back! Sorry i'm really noobish at stuff like this!

 

[King Pietersen]

Bars? =/ I know how to get the little shape to show a players attributes, but bars? No idea.

Just agreed to sign Steven Gerrard in July . Only going to be costing me ?21.5million as well =D. Really weird situation actually, Rafa got sacked for some strange reason (they're 6th but only 2 points off Spurs in 4th) and the new boss came in. He replaced Gerrard as captain =/, which got right up Stevies's nose, he put in a transfer request, I made an offer, they accepted, then Stevie accepted my first contract offer. My team is going to look god awesome next season.

Will hopefully be something like:

----------------------------Akinfeev------------------------------------

-----Rafinha--------Gonzalo-------Richards-----------Marcelo------

-----------------------Gerrard----------Iniesta------------------------

-----Rosina---------------Aguero----------------Robinho---------

------------------------Totti/New striker---------------------------------

Totti's been massively out of form in the past few games, I've relied on goals from the midfield, from Iniesta, Robinho and Rosina's actually chipped in with a few goals. I'm still top, after 25 games, with a 4 point lead over United and a 7 point lead over 3rd place Arsenal. I drew with Liverpool at Anfield, beat United at home 3-1 and beat Chelski at the Bridge. The only team to beat me this year in the league are Arsenal, and they hammered me, deserved to win more than 3-0 tbh.

Any tips to improve my squad? What striker do you reckon I should go for? I'll be probably looking at expensive options, so do I aim for someone out of favour like Berbatov at United, or do I go for someone like Ibrahimovic or David Villa? Who'd you reckon?

 

[Ollie_H]

Thats what I'm talking about ^, how do I change it?
