CP Munk Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 ****! I just lost Ronaldo for 4 months due to injury, Its only October and i really don't see Nani being able to fill in. With no money to spend in the January transfer window i reckon the second half of the season is gona be a sturggle. 8 games in to the season, 8 wins. No idea how long i'll be able to hold this type of form, espically with Rooney being my only scoring striker, Tevez & Bojan really aren't firing.

He has been scoring alot of goals for me and I only played him in the Carling Cup. I managed to get to the final of the Carling Cup with my 2nd string side. Beat Liverpool and Chelsea en route. Can't believe that my chairman accepted a 10m bid from Milan for Pique. Could have gotten ALOT more if it wasn't for the stupid chairman. Now I only got Sakho for the future, need to get more once transfer window reopens in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chr!s Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 quick reply needed In Aug of 2011 on 8.0.1 patch. Just sold Ronaldo for 38mill over 2 years plus Ishmael Issanti. Have Issanti, Nani, Mihlec and Farfan but need to get a great winger in. Who should I get. Money is no option. Is Messi worth it, if not who else?

Canabary Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Silva is usually a beast, but for right wing, I reckon you can't go wrong with Aaron lennon or Giles Barnes (has -10 in potential or something so he might be good or not..) Queresma is another portugese winger if you want keep the portugeuese quota. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canabary Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm struggling with finding cheap backup too... Michael Owen seems to be the best bet though.

ausmichaelz Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I'm sure the Vidic corner settings have been posted a page or two back. Vidic - Challenge GK Ferdinand - Attack Near Post Tevez - Attack Far Post Brown - Attack from deep Ronaldo - Attack from deep Rooney - Outside of box Scholes - Outside of box Make your best Corner taker as your Corner taker which in this case is Giggs. Set Corner settings to 6 Yard Box in Team Instructions for both sides. Vidic scores hattricks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canabary Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Ps. If you still need a backup striker I'd go with Kevin Kuranyi. His rating isn't awesome, but he's got heading ability that rivals Vidic easily gets a few goals on corners and is a very good team player and will do awesome through passes. He's golden, 12m I reckon would be enough. Also thanks for the corner settings appreciate it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canabary Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 An update on Kuranyi, he's now prem's player of the month and the fans think he is an extremly good signing.

ausmichaelz Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 That's weird =S Maybe you aren't getting enough corners. Keep on trying it, it'll work trust me. Are you getting a lot of chances from the corners ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canabary Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I've had like.... 20 corners or something. But no goals.. Vidic has been poor in the air really.. Always losing out to another defender or losing out to the goal keeper, he just doesn't win challenges. Acctually he's had 1 header that has been on target, but Cech easily caught it....

Mickyttudes Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 CP Munk Well, in April 08, he had just gotten into the first team(bench) when Newcastle bid 500K for him and I had to let him go! He's now become a starter for Newcastle since last 2 seasons. In my view, he's good but not nearly as good as Darren Gibson(Was a mistake letting him go, that too, on a free) Thus, Hewson can become a good backup. Gibson is a starter in 3 seasons.

mocko666 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I havent really got rooney and Tevez to work well together as they both seem to need the ball at all times at their feet and they both seem to want to set each other up rather than score, that being said in 8 games im unbeaten second behind Arsenal and Tevez has got 5 and Rooney 4. In the transfer window i signed Andrey Arshavin hoping that despite his description of midfielder i would be able to utilise his pace over the top. Fair to say that hasnt worked well so far though he scored his first goal in the league cup to get the winning goal against West Ham so im just looking to bed him slowly into the team at the min.

As for Evans, i'm just looking foward to getting him back from Sunderland and into my training schedules on my training facilites, that and bleeding him into the first team will hopefully help him develop into a top Premiership centre back. Also, due to an injury to Wes Brown i've had to play Danny Simpson, the kids been great, solid at the back aswell and chipping in with 3 assists.

xto8 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Just won the Carling Cup and I might be able to get a treble. I am the only 1 of the big four left in the FA Cup and I'm currently 3 points ahead of my nearest rival Liverpool with 6 games to go. Just finished a match against Everton. 2-1 down at half time and came back to win 2-4 with Jimmy Briand scoring all 4 goals and getting a 10 rating. He now has 35 goals in 39 games. Sadly Rooney got injured in that victory, Everton probably wanted revenge on Rooney since he scored in the final minute of stoppage time in the Carling Cup final against them to win it 2-1. I'm drawn to Real Madrid for the ECC quarter finals and I must say, the quarter finals showcases some intense rivalries. 1.Inter vs Milan. 2. Arsenal vs Chelsea. 3. Man Utd vs Real Madrid. 4. Liverpool vs Barcelona. If only Liverpool would switch with Real Madrid, it would be the best draw for a quarter final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a season of tweaking my team has finally clicked (hopefully on for the quad) ---Kameni---- --Diogo------Vidic--------Rio--------Evra -------------Veloso---Hargreaves--------- -----Ronaldo-----Anderson-----Aguero----- ---------------- Rooney------------- Van Der Sar Zalaeta (SP?) Nani Tevez Brown Kiebling Banega I had Aguero, Ronaldo and Rooney all swapping posistions, but it has worked much better when I leave them be. Aguero is a creative force who gets alot of assists,and ronaldo has 20 goals for me in February. Anderson is simply awesome, the heartbeat of my team. I had a poor start to the season , but on fire now. I was struggling to match the consistency of Aresnal, Liverpool and Chelsea. Liverpool won the league in the first season, and were very strong at the start of this one but have faded. Im 2nd , 4 points behind Aresnal with a few 10 games to go.

Any chance you could post your team instructions, i play a similar tactic, but like you said its not the most consistent, cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxie Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm looking foy your advice regarding my young players. Basically, my coaches such as Baresi and Meulensteen say in their coach reports that my players have the potential to be a "good player" and be a "good premier league player in the future". Are these players likely to break into the first team in your experience? How accurate are the coaches? Also, what about if they are described as "potential to be decent"? This is all on patch 8.01 btw. Thanks a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to see, especially Meulensteen, to predict someone as a leading EPL player in the future. He did say that abt Johnny Evans thoug o my game!
