Polstar Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 did you sell players immediately and buy new ones? or was it more about coaches/ schedules/tactice? I have been trying for about 5 new games and never managed it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolvesBestEvaManager Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I only signed afew players, all you really need is a goalscorer. I played ugly and dull football. Hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polstar Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 sounds good to me, have always looked for a new striker, one season i even managed to bag Roberto Saldado from Real Madrid on a season long lone! By ugly and dull, do you mean defensive with counter attack, long ball stuff? I don't mean to just "get all the answers", i am trying to learn from better managers (as in real life) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolvesBestEvaManager Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes - by defensive, counter attack, slow paced and hoof style football. Always help if your striker are tall and can head the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polstar Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 thanks for the help, i am going to try those suggestions, am currently in January and am trying to sell some players so i can get a decent striker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duffucus Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I kept them up (just) with the very squad I started with (correct up to end of January's window) on FM07. Decided to try without signing any players, which I often do with lots of Premiership teams, and survived on the final day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cometdude Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Derby were quite easy to keep in the prem when I played, Villa ( 18 goals ) and Robert ( 24 assists ) were quite amazing. The next season however . . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 They have some quality players to begin with. I've got two in my squad now, in my current career with Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
