dont play 433 for a start. straight forward 442 and sign some fast strikers and big bastard centre backs and you should be ok.

Its proper hard with Stoke try and get a good parent club and loan some reserves to get you promotion oh and 442 direct passing with a target man seems to be best setup for standard Stoke squad

It's easy.
4-1-2-1-2, short, slow passing. Play Fuller and Sidibe up front together with Sidibe as a target man, they score 40 each. Keep Lawrence, sign Diao and Rudolph Austin. Rachid Al-Hammouchi will doa job. Igor Tudor, too. Bogdan Stancu, James Vaughan and Henri Saivet are all classy players. Gabriel Torje will suit you well, too.

play 4-1-3-2 with full backs and left and right midfielders pushing on. Sign Lehtovarra in goal costs about 8k and now worth 12m on my game. also sign distel zola, torje, aaritalo, stancu, mihelic, doudin, piatti and steven thicot. They're all good for the prem and will get you promoted

Does anyone know why last season my capacity was increased to 42,000 but this preseason the board have announced plans to enlarged the stadium to add 14000 seats that will increase capacity to 42000, again!!! Is it a bug in the game?

it just is, try looking on some FM08 forums for tactics to download , each incarnation of the game has a particular tactic that works best, usually something "in vogue" at the time . what worked for you on previous games just wont work a few editions down the line, you either spend hours and hours of your life experimenting, or download someone elses that has spent hours testing a tactic

When you get to the Promised land, it usually occurs that the same players are available to you and a few are new so the best thing to do is as soon as the TM opens in June/July look at all free agents...I managed to get a few released players such as: -Jimmy Bullard(Cheating though for that one!) -Carlos Cuellar -Geremi -Antonio Valencia
Schmiechel joined permanenlty so did anichebe and also signed Ameobi for £5.8mill

Google 8.0.2 patch fm 2008 and look for a bittorrent one and you download bittorrent first and then you can download that(If you have vista)
any other system than vista then you can prob just download it normally...

I play 4-2-3-1 and it is immense - you just always seem to have an extra man all the time
The 2 in midfield with arrows coming back to DM positions and the 3 are 3 central AMC slots with one up front, preferably with a bit of pace. I'm in second season and just signed Shevchenko for 70k and he has scored 14 in 11

I'm just about to start my 2nd season in the prem, a couple of shrewd signings, Yakubu fell out with the everton manager and i spent half my budget on him.... 10 million should keep me up, i also have a player called Tchite who seems to get a few goals as well for 6 million, D'alesandro in the centre next to johnson and elliot, still playing the 3-5-2 formation

Here's my team that won the league in my third season (see, I kinda erased that game from an old laptop...)
GK: Foster RB: Behrami CB: Tudor CB: Woodgate LB: Lugano DM: Makelele RM: Torje LM: Kewell AM: Alex (from Fenerbace, best player in the game AGAIN) ST: Vaughan ST: Stancu
Subs:
GK: Heaton CB/DM: Austin ST/AM: Saivet ST: Altidore Versatile guy I can't remember
And with that team I won the Premiership in my third season. Finished second in my second season, by the way. The game was an absolute breeze, eeeeeeeasssssssyy.

play sidibe and sign maynard. Play sidibe as a target man and both will score for fun. i managed to get chaplow on season long loan and he was quality. Also if you can sign adam johnson on loan from boro.
