libidoluxuria_ Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 1st season and haven't lost a single game and in the semi's of the Fa cup! with that squad how can you lose a single game!! that is basically my squad (post patch) and i have just been promoted in my 1st season and haven't lost a single game and in the semi's of the Fa cup! I cant understand! I play pre-patch. I'm using a 4-4-2 diamond, in other attemps I tried a 4-2-3-1 tactic (the 2 are MC with back arrows; the three are eather AML, AMR AMC or tree AMC). I think I tried everithing!!! What am I doing wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shikky Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Have you tried messing around with the individual instructions? They can make a difference y'know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
libidoluxuria_ Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 GK - Brljack DR - Neil Eardleu DL - Dan Smith (in previous games had Joe mattock) DC - Raymond Kalla DC - Huntington MR - Torje ML - Filipe Costa/Mihelic DMC - Pecnik AMC - Piatti ST - Stancu ST - Volas/Malcolm Christie Played 10, won 5 drawed 5. Scored an average of 1.8 goals a game, and conceded 0.9 golas a game. <b>This is my best game so far! In previous games I lost many games!</b> Aaritalo - is injured for 3 months, would play in ST Kronaveter - starts the game injured, is starting to play as AMC sub Alan Thompson, Prutton and other are still in the team. It was I that made the tatic and the individual instructions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrialthemighty Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 i was a fan of christie as on my pre patch game he scored 31 in one season for me, however i prefer stancu. here is a link to a screen shot of my team and formation! http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii48/astrialbarrier1/tacticsandteam.jpg normally i would use the following team: GK: delgado DR:bandalovski (vice captain) DL:andrej pecnik (legend can be picked up for 45k and is class) DC: Kalla and cordos/sarghi DMC: soley till jan when i got silva MC: was piatti and sjolund. but since jan cominges and kronaveter have taken over AMR: grosicki or torje, was gusev at the start of the season but he was absolutely awful (still dunno how i got him ) AML:mihelic, sometimes da costa FC-stancu always, 44 goals in 46 appearences for me, if he's not fit then doudin, parks or musasa get's a chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
libidoluxuria_ Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 astrialthemighty, After my 5 failed attemps I will give it a final go, using your tatics. I really want to sucessed with Leeds! Your tatic is very offensive, that makes sense because it is the best team in the League One. I only play medium database and the only foreign leagues that I play is Italy Serie A and Spain Premier League, because my PC is not very fast. So I have less players avaiable. One other ploblem is the wage budget that is too low! I offer Piatti and Aaritalo the maximum, so then I cant bring all the players! Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! some of these players can only be found on a large database, but pre patch at left back there is a brilliant gem called bill tchato and minambres is an adequate cover for bandalovski if you can't find him, however he is injured for 2 months at the start (i think)!, if you can't find grosicki, torje will do fine or even marlet the team instructions and individual instructions however need tweaking to make this tactic work! good luck!

shikky Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I've got one who scouts in major tournaments with "judge player ability" of 19 who looks for cheap players that may immediately strengthen my team, and one with "judge player potential" who goes to various regions/countries to find great investments below age 18 I can snatch up and train =) That's how I've found pretty much all of my current players, and it seems to be working. Too bad my assistant manager has low stats in both of those things, and can't recognise neither ability or talent as good as my scouts. Tried to let him pick the team a few times, with bad luck.

shikky Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I haven't had any problems with the chairman, he's been acting nicely. I asked for money in my second season, and he tossed me a handful and more. Not had as much luck with that as of lately, but it's not needed with my current squad either to be honest. I highly recommend signing Stancu and Piatti from the get-go. Also loan a good right winger (or get Torje if you can sign him) and another central defender or two (Nordtveit from Arsenal for example) and you'll most certainly fight for promotion. During my first season Piatti and Stancu scored pretty much almost all of my goals, with Beckford adding a huge ammount to the tally as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's Ken Bates acting ? well pre patch they are okay but bates is really stingy. post patch however bates gave me an extra 2million in transfers which gave me a total of 4 million (not sure if he does for everyone)!!!! the staff is not bad but try and keep hold of harrison the scout. highly recommend stancu, piatti, if you load all polish and bulgarian players get bandalovski and grosicki. all good class prospects that can rip up league 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

libidoluxuria_ Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hi guys, I've started a new game. Used the 4-1-2-2-1 astrialthemighty tactic. GK - Molina DR - Eardley DL - Mattock / Sepsi DC - Kalla DC - Hutington DMC - Ian Gosling (Soley pick a 2 month injury) MC - Mihelic MC - Piatti AMR - Aaritalo / Torje AML - Filipe Costa AC - Musasa / Stancu Want to put Stancu in firts team but Musasa arrived first and is scoring for fun! Also play in rotation with - Prutton - Alan Thompson - Howson - McGowan - Andronovic - Danny Haynes (on loan) And loan out - Esmir Sabic (CB) - Lethovaara (GK) - Kamenar (GK) I brought in a lot of players (total: 33) I then sold, like Gargula (great MC) that I brough for 1.4 M €, and sold some weeks later for 10 M €... and many others! I spend to much money that the Board injected 5 M € in the club. Now Everything is ok,due to that many and to the sale of Gargula and others. The results are coming: League One: 4 games, 4 wins, scoreed 14, conceed 4 League Cup: 1 win, 1 loss (agains Sheff Wed, 1-0 had too many CB injured) J. Paint Trophy: 1 win Thank you all for the help. i'll keep posting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shikky Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 By the looks of it I'll go straight down. Tried to strengthen my squad with some new defenders, but the ones who were better than my current ones were all too expensive. Got a couple though.

shikky Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Right, 5 games into the new season and I'm disappointed with my results to be honest. Suffered heavy losses (1-5 and 1-4) in my first two matches, lost 1-2 in the next, then won two where 1 was in the cup against a sucky team. It's obvious I need quite a lot of new players. Additionally the fans - who were all ZOMG THIS PWNZ when I signed him - think my signing of Diakathe was a bad move. Wtf? Oh well, let's keep on going. Despite 3 losses and 1 win as of now in the league, I'm still 16th on the table, so I'm above the relegation line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
