antero3000 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Hello, Should I buy Joaquin from Valencia for £14.25m? I haven't bought any wingers so far. I am in 1st seasons January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evon Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Bit small but cheers anyway. I assume that's a 15 for finishing? The other stats look pretty much the same. Thought he'd be doing better for Hull though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to serious-ness now, and I know this is the wrong place and I should look for myself in T&T, but can anyone get Tevez scoring a fair amount of goals to games?

croaker Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Can someone please help! I tried all sorts of tactics with Man Utd, and find it impossible to win more than a few games in a row, it is pathetic. I have tried loads of different tactics, but need something solid. I am at the point where I have tried some many tactics. I have used the ronaldo tactic, created by health/ronaldo, and am so desperate for something to work, as it is driving me insane!!!! http://rapidshare.com/files/130738740/Mc_Crory_4-3-2-1.tac.html try this play Ronaldo AMCR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonis Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I had problems with Tevez has backup to Rooney. He did ok nothing special but does miss way too many chances, in some games he doesn't even seem to be interested. I even tried him has AMC with farrow but still very average, sold him end of 2nd season nd replaced him with Aguero, who is on fire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbnmu Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I need yet more advice on my game but before that, thanks to this forum and the nice ppl on here for their previous advice and ongoing help. A special thanks to Adonis and the other lad (sorry dnt remember the name) who advised me abt how to get my DC to score from headers! 1stly:Am in season 2 and trying to send Possebon, Rafael, Fabio and Cathcart on loan for some 1st team action. Am not getting anything for the 3 Brazillians and my only option is Antwerp, but that also means that I will have to pay their wages!!! I only seem to get an offer as backup for 1st team for Cathcart!!! P.S Same goes for Corradini! 2ndly: Is £30m + 50% for Nani a good deal? Sold him to the Arse as he had pretty much same stats as Assaiti who i had on 8.01 and who was really good! Given the age difference, Assaiti can be expected to improve. But, is it a good deal? Also have Segio Mota as backup. Lee Martin and Fleck are waiting but they don't seem up to it so far!!! Any advice? Thank you.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evon Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Too many strikers, too many youth players, no actual good buys, nobody getting sold and the squad is way too big. Transfer listing players doesn't do anything to the morale unless you shove everyone on the list or all the favourite players. Sell at least 20 players from your reserves and first team. And get some good senior players...that's basically the same squad but just with Guilherme who's completely pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynefazli Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I just signed zapata for free. i am on my 3rd season with Manchester United btw. he seems to be an excellent signing. i also signed Alexis from valencia and Lorenzo De Silvestri for a fee of €32million and €23.5million respectively. they seem to be an excellent signing. and my rooney has been banging in lots of goals ever since i make him my captain. and tevez has been my super-sub. scoring all the important goals. he reminds me of solksjaer (: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At halftime in home games if he has a 6 rating tell him your dissappointed, if a 7 have faith in ability, 8 again faith in ability. Away games if he has 6 or 7 have faith. But against your rivals you can tell him your dissappointed even with a 7 rating and he will become motivated. Most games I tend to encourage him has usually gets 1 or 2 goals in the first 45 mins anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the team looks pretty solid and don't think i would need to sign anyone in the 1st season apart from a few youngsters for the future. Also, i've been hearing that the clubs finances are pretty poor and usually goes into debt. Is this true, and how are the transfer budgets each season are they quite decent? thanks!

Akinfeev is surprisingly a very good gk, much better than he was on fm07. In my third season my balance is -£2m...and the board are happy, thats mainly due to my big buys but have also brought in alot of money through getting good prices and winning things.

adonis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Coming to the January transfer window 2009. Pique has been attracting alot of clubs, he is worth £10m has 4 years left on his contract and is backup to Vidic and Richards. Also have Sergio Ramos and J Evans who can play there with Salkho out on loan. Just had an enquiry from Inter who offered £16m but I negotiated it to £0 upfront, £20m after 24 months AND £40m after 1 international appearance. He only has 1 cap so far but none this season probably due to his lack of games. I am looking at Criscito to replace him but won't be able to get him til the summer has he has just signed a new contract. Offer too good to refuse? He wants to go and ends up being upset whenever I rejected the earlier bids. My last group game in ECL..got Real Mdrid in 1st knockout round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adonis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yep thats how he has turned out for me. He is at that age of 22 where he wants 1st team football and Barcelona being his favourite club don't help by making bids every week. My club balance is £7m with £2.4m left for transfers. I don't really need anyone but by selling Pique and getting Criscito it means I have a player who can play all sides of the defence. Think I will sell he has been upset for the past 18months now on and off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytheway Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 i sold pique half way through 3rd season to barcelona for 15 mil over 24 months,10 mil after 10 international apps (he's made 9 so far) and 50% of next sale. his stats have improved a little since then but he was first team when i sold him so thats why i put 50% on his resale.

xx11 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 adonis, add a buyback clause to that contract and posssibly sell on clause. I got both them into a deal which saw me get 15million up front, 40million after 1 international. Season later I purchased him back for 11.25m. I had included a 22.5m buyback clause and got 50% of that back Thats after having received the 40million from the international \o/ Ok he was then on £83k a week wages, but to be honest he would have been up to about £50k by time I purchased him back (09/10) and the profit I made more then covers his wages for quite some time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adonis Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Can't negotiate it any further but I wouldn't want to buy a player back who wanted to go in the first place.

He takes way too long to develop into a good player and still doesn't match up to Vidic and hasn't got much pace either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
