oh ya...can anyone tell me wat is use of free role n hold the ball ?

Free role means the player is allowed to roam the field and practically do whatever he likes. Creative license for him is probably set to the maximum.

Hold the ball means the player will always try to hold the ball to wait for support or other players to move up.

they wanted to cut my neck by upping his price considering the fact i am a city rival.

anyway, how long does WP take? i bought sergio arguero for 20 million and cant play him?! WTF. same with adu, bruno mgepza, freddy quarin, marcelo!!! ARGHHH!!

and yeah one more, best keeper apart from akinkeev? (young one, cuz sold foster and kuszchack! and howard as well. VDS let go to roma for free liao )

so, free role giv to the playmaker?
n hold up ball giv to def mid?

milan bid 12million to my arturo lupoli...but i reject it...haha...kena slam by lupoli...gonna trasfer listed him on after the end of season lo..

never do like that

always raise the bid to amazing amounts like 50m

Yep, that is the general view. Of course, I give free role sometimes to my wingers as well.

Always check if the player would like to talk to other parties for a transfer...I usually change the offer to some fee like 10-15 million pounds then ask the team for their star player in exchange..

So far, Chelsea and Valencia tried to get rio ferdinand..I have asked both teams to give me 10 milllion + Frank Lampard/ David Villa Both went away after that..and Ferdinand remains happy..

I am trying to get my players sign new contract too. Some can reduce the wages by half and without appearance bonus. But many star players refuse to accept..haha.


lol..my Juve director accepted a bid from Porto for 3 mil. What a stupid decision...
makes me lose a good player.

I guess many would recommend Curci

Hmm marcelo? I bought him during the second season and used him imediately

hmm.. i spend lot of time reading this topic passively..
seems u guys forgot bout deisler..
normal stat when u first buy him but later will go up skyrocket..
cheap oso.. bought him 3.8m only..

akinfeev !

player with the highest rating in epl for the 2nd season
keke

i juz begin to play FM2007... it seems so tough... wat tactics also useless... no matter which team... especially blackburn and wigan... they r very strong... sigh!!!
any1 got any guide for me?? to see potential or tactics?? thanks.. and i'm using man utd...

ya.. it's a bit tough. or should i say tougher than prev version of FM. IMHO, team talk plays a very big role in determining the success of a game. i still couldnt find the best pair of team talk to be given during pre-match, half time, and post match.. sigh

yeah i got cheallini at 5m, porto also bid but my offer of 23k per week is enough for him to join my growing squad

reducing players wage with new contracts works well in previous versions of FM ( i remember managed to reduce sol campbell's wge from 80k to 25k!!) but this version seems the player got brains more...

everybody want my Tevez(westham) and Reyes(arsenal) now.. shud i sel them??..i already accept the offer from roma for tevez..but reyes.. still 50-50...will he be unsettle again if he stay??? need some opinion

Blackburn and Wigan can be hard to beat but you need to motivate your strikers. Start off with You can win this game as the team talk, then set "I have faith in your ability" for both the strikers.

During halftime, those with avg rating of 6 (set it to either I have faith or You can make a difference), if you are not leading at the time.

As for tactics, I am using 4-4-2. Defence is Heinze (LB), Rio and Vidic (CB), Gary (RB). Giggs (ML), Ronaldo (MR), Carrick (CM) and Scholes (AM) makes up my midfield. Forwards are Luca Toni and Wayne Rooney.

As for tactics, I use counterattack, attacking football and go wide. I normally dont set man marking.

I am currently top of the league in November, unbeaten in Premier League, one loss in Champ League but unfortunately knocked out of League Cup

It is very important to set a proper training schedule for your players at the start of the season. Don't put everyone under General training.

Start in Conference League North / South, man, that is tough. No transfer money and crap players at your disposal. Even worst when you get promoted to Conference National League when your team is still a part timer.

How to survive, get a parent club and hopefully some good young players come to your club. In this division, usualy 4-4-2 attacking can win you lotsa of game coz the opposition usually have crap gk anyway. A good GK is essential in Conference League North / South, recommended GK - Conrad Logan or Wales U-21 GK W.Hennesey from Watford, if you can get them on loan.

Me currently managing two clubs at one time using different computers, Forest Green and Redditch. So much fun playing in this bottom league.

set those training to the touughest??? no rest??

Errr...I set it to medium...Heavy training usually results in a lot of injured players..

@those who're interested in using Tug's training, you can get it here

It worked like a charm for me, although it also depends on how you manage your coaches and stuff.
