Morning All.... Tried to use the search function to find a thread about FM2008 but suprisingly nothing!!  Got meself some new Laptop Memory last week and managed to get FM2008 to work on me laptop, now Im struggling to get results from my frigging team  Signed Franklin Salas on a Free and also Piatti (wonderkid apparently), Simmo is injured with a broken ankle, Russell Hoult has fractured ribs and QPR keep putting £4million offers in for Fuller (should I sell?!?!) Got £2.2Mill to spend as I sort of promised Sir Peter Coates that Im looking to challenge for the title (even though Im currently 21st after 5 games) Is it just me or is this game a slightly bit more difficult than previous offerings?!? Cheers, SS |

Torje
Stancu
Aaritalo
Mihelic
Lehtovaara
Distel Zola
Agouda
Prunikov
try and sign a couple of these, the first few if possible.
Always play delap if you can, he becomes a quality player if he gets a run of games
Keep Fuller you probably only get 60% of transfer fees to spend
Leigh Bromby is a good player if you can afford.

Fuller and Cresswell are fucking ace on mine. Sold Sidibe to Plymouth and he's scored 8 in 21 games.
Just knocked Pompey out of the cup. I was doing rubbish to start with, you just need to find the right team to play.

don't rotate your team too much,find something that seems to work (even if you're only drawng) and stick to it,
sign young
vidarsson from everton and have him take free kicks
lawrence is awesome for me on the right

Try and buy as i always do Joe hary on loan in goals and possibly Lee Martin who turns out to be class as does Danny Pugh. Pugh has got seven in 17 for me so far on the left of midfield....my team is 7th after 17 games and my team is:
GK; Hart (3 month loan)
DR; Zakuani
DL; Bromby
CD;Hill
CD;Clarke(From southend)
DM;Eustace/Delap
ML;Pugh
MR;Torje
AM;Lawrence
ST;Fuller
ST;Sidibe/Tommy Smith
Hope this helps and my main buy was Pugh and Smith....someone always goes for Chris Keenan from larne too cos he is from N.Ire should come up in an early message...rotate him and Harty round and sometimes play Simmo but i put him in reserves for now!
If you cheat, kasper schmeichal is an amazing buy....

You can get far more money for transfers if you go to board requests, then select budget adjustment. It makes your wage budget fall a bit though.

These are good for the prem:
Vasilis Torosidis is a good buy from Olympiakos. You can get him for around 800k - 1.5million. He can play at right back, centre back, right wing back and centre midfield and is only 22, so develops well.
Andwélé Slory is a good buy from Feynoord. Bags of pace and creativity.
If you have cash then Tranquillo Barnetta and Jean II Makoun are good buys.
Martin Fenin is a great young striker.
Gonzalo Rodriguez sometimes gets transfer listed for 5.5million and Christopher Samba is avaliable for around 3million. These 2 players provide a solid central defensive partnership.

Marcin chmiest is possibly the greatest player for a near 180k as for piatti and stancu. Due to them having a potential ability of -9 &-10 they have random stats so can be unpredictable but piatti is usually a god. these forums help lots : www.neoseeker.com/forums/36740I post all the time on there and often get help its very good. |
