Finally I get a decent win - even if it was against bottom of the table Oxford.

There'll be no stopping me now...

First target to overhaul is Wycombe; then Rushden. And then Yeovil. Oh, yes...

Didn't even know about the Cup match myself, was quite surprised to see I'd managed to beat a League 1 side 1-0 though then a victory against Fezza, albeit a narrow one but a wins a win (I know, anyone can beat him ), it's been a good week for me, so far.

Meh.

I'm still getting bad beats against the run of play.

Lost 4-2 last night. All four shots on target against me went in, only two of my nine or so on target scored.

I blame the manager.

Anyone know if tinkering with formations and tactical settings affects the players? Do they have to 'get used' to each other and the formation/tactics and so will perform better over time?

Must admit, I've been fiddling around trying to find a good lineup, but might be doing more harm than good.

Any ideas?

cheers

Blimey O'Reilly. What have I got to do to get a win???

Possession 64%; Shots 27, on target 18.

Bournemouth shots 6, on target 2

Final score? 1-1.

That'll teach me to sign Dion Dublin...

Sorry Ro11er but I hope your luck doesn't change until after the game tonight .

RE: Footy Management game

Jonathan_E — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 13:00:42 GMT

I'm just praying my bad luck is over

Both matches so far, I've had easily the most shots on target, but I've lost both games.

So I'm next to Smilar at the bottom...

I keep fiddling with formations. Not sure if that's a good thing or not: how detailed does this game get during the actual matches? Am I confusing my players, or doesn't it worry about things like that?

Oh, and I felt very insulted that Jan Koller didn't want to come and play for the mighty Orient. deal had been done with the club, and the cheeky sod said he didn't fancy it.

Now he would have been a target man and a half.

cheers

Well you'd better log on soon, SK.

I'm trying to buy one of your players!

Come on, it's a good offer, mate.

cheers

RE: Footy Management game

Scouseknight — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:11:03 GMT

Great start for me: 6-1 win - so much for micromanagement I hadn't even logged in since I registered

I notice Rushen and Diamonds are after my star striker too .....

RE: Footy Management game

Jonathan_E — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 18:59:15 GMT

that's blimmin typical.

I've just looked at the stats for the game my brave boys played against Flan's filthy Rovers, and we had 19 shots, 6 on target; his lot had five shots on goal, two on target.

The result????

2-0 to him.

FFS. It's like playing Pro Evo at the LAN...

RE: Footy Management game

Chas — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:00:03 GMT

A couple of tips from my sons who have been playing this a while.

Keep an eye on the new players in the Game menu, apparently some good players come up there that are clubless so you can get them cheap.

If you bid on a player that belongs to a club that's managerless the player will always accept your offer if it's over the Chairman's valuation.

Bearing that in mind I've been using the Search function (under Setup > Transfers) to find players to bolseter my squad.

Also keep an eye on your players rating they fluctuate quite a bit. I had originally decided on my provisional team but the next day I noticed that a couple of players that were 77s had both dropped to high 60s and somone else that was low 70s had gone up into the 80s (the jumper round the shoulders was the giveaway ) so keep checking.

RE: Footy Management game

Jonathan_E — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 17:38:37 GMT

Looking at my team's stats (now why didn't I do that before signing up...?) I fear you may be right.

But not without a fight, pie-man, not without a fight.

I'm already making some blind fumblings in the transfer market, and hope to sign a Paraguayan no-hoper in time for our clash on Saturday.

I reckon 4-3-3 and all out headless attack a la Ossie Ardiles or Kelvin Koogan is the way to go.
