Just starting a Lyon game on the demo, formation is a 451 but set out like:

GK

RB - CB - CB -LB

DM

RM - LM

AM - AM

CF

Probably going to look for a new CB, everywhere else seems fine for now and with little funds it'd be hard ot improve.

RM is the worst position in the squad atm mate!

Although CB does need improving, who are you using rm?

Pied will probably be first choice, and might rotate with Bastos there and use someone else on the left. I want to play Pjanic and Gourcuff behind th striker, but 4 players in attacking midfield positions seems too much. I might just rotate between Gourcuff/Pjanic in the middle alongside Toulalan/Kallstrom and have an AML & AMR and two strikers.

Good luck then mate, however when delgado comes back hes ace 2!

Lisandro can play a lot of roles, but he's definitely better at Advanced Forward. I also play him times to times as DLP or Complete Forward.

McGougan33 => I agree with you, I'm wondering if the raters have seen the same Lisandro I did last season: by the way, he scored a few headers...

Im sure HoPeY will change his stats as usual when the full game comes out, if not i will edit it, and you can just pm me for it :thup:

Thanks mate :)

BTW, the 4-3-3 seems to work just fine at the moment, still unbeaten. I'll make a report after a few months of competition ;)

Has anyone used there tactics from FM2010, to see if they still work in this game? I would try it but ive made a tactic which is absolutely gold so far in every league ive played in ( France, Scotland and England ) however that has pretty much been with top`ish end teams.

Right I've decided I'm maybe going to make Lyon champions of the world in the full game along with making Ligue 1 the best league around.

So I figure I'll have a pop at them on the demo, will post transfers etc soon

Bit disappointing about their away kit though, reminds me of a horrid carpet, how come their amazing 3rd kit doesn't feature though?

I checked and you're right, the CL kit isn't in the game, that's weird. It should be fixed in the full game I guess. About their away kit, you're absolutely right, I'm also a Lyon supporter IRL and I've never seen the team wear such an ugly kit...

As the 3rd kit is CL exclusive it could be excluded for licensing reasons. Not sure, but it could be the reason.

I would certainly hope not, you might be right though, as its not called the Uefa Champions League ingame, its the Champions Cup, so perhaps they dont have the full rights to it! :(

I know they don't have the rights to it, I'm just not sure if this extends to things like this kit.

Come on now, If you think about it you have. Even if you only think about last season? The away shirt is a special for this year, it's not quite that bad, looks better in the flesh. Not a classic shirt by any means though.

Any plans on improving Lisandro`s stats again this year mate?

Well, the small db annoys me too (especially for the staff), but I've really handled well the first part of the season (well, almost, remains two Ligue 1 games to play). And I got Hazard for 7,75ME, I don't think Lille offers him at that price in every game :D

Yeah i had a pretty awesome start to! However i will be starting again just to get the large database into play :)

Started my career with Lyon as expected. I thought I had a good squad so didn't do that much during the summer:

lyontransfers.png

Rafael is playing right back and Gilberto Silva is transformed in to a central defender. Kakuta is mostly a backup.

I was finding it hard to get the tactic and formation right, but finally (after some tests) I think my 4-2-3-1 will do the team good. I'm looking to have a solid four-man defence with two defensive minded central midfielders in front and four attacking players scoring the goals.

After my 130 days in charge things are actually looking good:

The club captain Cris has now a staff profile and I'm looking forward to him being my future assistant manager:

Good start to the season, i am also playing a 4-2-3-1, how deep is your defensive line? Mines seems to conceeded quite alot atm.

And out of 20 games played i have had 5 red cards, now my tackling is on default, and i press more, but surely that shouldnt get me that many redcards?

This is my specific instructions:

But I must say Gilberto Silva and Cris works very well in the central defence and Lloris has been fantastic.

Juninho Pernambucano - the dead-ball specialist, currently playing for Qatar club Al-Gharafa is set to return to France and play for his beloved Lyon.

As you probably know, Juninho Pernambucano played for Lyon between 2001-2009 and was a fans favorite.

He's 35 years old but still a very good player. I offered him £62,000 p/w and hopefully he will accept it and become a Lyon player in January 2011.

If he joins he will later join my staff.

Hes better than he was in last years fm!

I got Sampdoria in the 1st Knockout round of the CL! :D

Changed my tactic ever so slightly and against Toulouse i dominated, however i only won 1-0

The real test is coming up with OM next :D, Me, Bordeaux and OM are all on 36 points together at the top of the table :)

Moneyto burn eh MrSundlofer. Influence 17 though? Technique 16? What a joke, too low.

Got £9.5M to spend in January. Spending £200k on Juninho Pernambucano. Good buy. I like the feeling of having him back in the team.

Not sure what to do with the rest of the money. Probably save them and invest in my youth academy.
