u all frens ar.>??? u all sound like friends ....

so mike, this Saturday morning what formation we playing? Wanna try the 9-1 formation again?

Hahaha well since we've over 30 players, we can try out a brand new 5-4-3-2-1 X'mas tree formation.

15 players, sounded like rugby to me, someone call monstar...

problem of playing 9-0-1 without playing ultra unsporting. including. putting the ball at the side line. bring to corner flag. playing in triangles. Is stamina.

You can't defend for 90 minutes.. I mean let ppl attack for 90 minutes.

This is crazy. they are using less energy passing the ball while all 9 of you are chasing the ball. That y second half you are all too tired to defend.

Or Duke, he can take out a few by himself

mikey oh mikey, planning to become a football coach now?
haha. or is this a new hobby for year 2008?
play more football manager!

I'm tempted to join this Saturday's session if we were to play 9-0-1 formation. Sounds cool.

Come lar giotto, i join your team in white!

Nope; we hate each other to the death.

glozz we hate each other so much next time i play for your team i score own goal against you in goal!

You hate me or your team; eh?

I thought the attacking side used a lot more energy than the defending side.No? There are lots of team played 9-0-1 a.k.a bus parking stratergy especially when the play the like of arsenal, Manu,chelsea etc

Attacking side if you heading towards a wall there no point countering so, you won't be required to sprint up.
Instead if you play short passes, it would be sufficient to play monkey that way.

Actually; most parking busses strategies are a 4-5-1 formation. With a 9-0-1, there's no midfield.

isn't it 5-4-1?

5-4-1 is not good for defence.. The number of defenders is more but idea is different. If you centre backs sitting so deep.. A sweeper will be useless. Therefore with 5-4-1 , you be playing flank backs.

4-5-1 would be better as most ball are won in the middle of the park.

4-5-1? heks. look at liverpool last night. fruss!

hey me got at least 5 years experience with Arsenal, Barcelona and AC Milan....not in real life of cuz....FM...haha

o.O ..... FM08 damn so long nvr get to play managerial games
