Well it wasn't worth the wait... A 0-2 loss at home and now third from bottom I think I might post my squad and see if any of you have any ideas of what tactics I should play.
 
The Squad:
ASBO1.JPG

F Dedebant is a new signing but his condition is 52 so I its unlikely that I will be able to play him straight away. As the team sheet hopefully shows, the team should be capable of a higher position than 3rd from bottom and thats why any help would be helpful.

More Details:

This pretty much shows how few goals the team has actually scored. 6 goals for the entire team in 11 games (conceded 12) is not good, oh and the morale is rubbish but that might just be because we keep on losing. :(

Current tactics:

And finally the current tactics that led to the 0-2 defeat at home.
 
This is amazing! I get this message after the match:

The coach has remarked on Matt Mcallisters performance in the last match and how this player has come on. Matt Mcallister has had a couple of rating points added to his reflexes skill.

A couple of rating points... I've had additional rating points before, but IIRC not multiples. He scored the one and only winning goal, the opponent was playing 5-3-2.

The footiemanager site is still very, very sloooow... Must be all those "eager" managers checking their match performances.
Dell, show us that team!
 
I think I have gotten that message before a few times but I believe at least it happened to one player who was on loan at ASBO so I didn't really see the benefit. My team is shown above :)
 
Yeah, it was kind of a simultaneous post. Your selection doesn't look as if you've got many options. You're lacking midfielders (who isn't?), so you could only play 4-3-3. But I think that road leads to nowhere...

About the tactics:

-man marking: I guess that that's a bit stupid. In other games (you know, CM4) you play MM when you play less relatively defenders. If the opponent has 2 or 3 strikers, then you play MM with 3 defenders, not with 4. So, I say, play zonal.
-wide play: whatever. I really don't know.
-cross balls: I think this doesn't work. Try short plays and train on passing.
- attacking: hm, like you said before, this won't produce more goals...
- agression 60%: it'll only tire your players out.
 
Ideally I plan on selling one of my worse defenders and my reserve goalkeeper to raise the cash for a good midfielder. Thanks for the help so far. So what aggression level do you play at?
 
I play 60% and 70% on important matches...

Defense: Zone Marking
Midfield: Wide Play
Attack: Shoot from Distance
Overall: Counter Attack

It's working for me...

Another thing..I can't get into Footie...the page won't load. Are you all having the same problem? Yesterday willem also couldn't get into FM
 
I twas working for awhile this afternoon when me and Shabba were posting but it seems to be down again...
 
I'm getting pretty frustrated about FM being down...I want to check my results..
 
Just think though, CFC has been down quite regularily before, usually it takes awhile but eventually it gets fixed.
 
Hi ppl, i was just searching the web and noticed a link to footiemanager forum and thought I'd join in as Ive been playing that game for a while. :D PREVIOUS DOUBLE WINNER :D . Im quite annoyed I cant login as I am away to Real Madrid and its a very big game and want to know how i did :( . Im Celta Vigo in G3, who do you all manage??
 
Welcome to CFC, the sports talk forum and the FM thread. :)

I manage AS Beauvais Oise, Inter managers Inter and Shabba manages Cambuur and Willem manages Stade Laval(something).
I won promotion but then got relegated and now I am struggling in the french second division...
 
Like Dell said I manage Inter Milan in Game 10. Last season I finished 9th...just look in the previous pages and you'll find my season round-up. This season after 9 games played I'm 3rd..and today I had a big match against Milan AC..so I'm quite ansious to see the result.
Good to have another person to talk about FM :)
 
I'll post some screenshots of my squad whenever footiemanager works again. I have a strong first 11 but a very little squad which is causing problems thislate into my season. Last time I looked i was top but have played since thnen but still cant get the site to work. :(
 
I wonder if they ave played the saturday night games or not. Potentially they may be able to caluclate the results without the website actually working but they must realise that hardly anyone has been able to log in so perhaps they will pospone them until the site is back up for a reasonable period of time.
 
Canterbury: Could you share your tactics with us?
 
I play 3-4-3.

Defence: I think I play offside trap now.
Midfield: Push Forward
Attack: Shoot From Distance
Overall: Short Passing
Aggression: 50%

I have the best defensive record in La Liga but have scored less than the rest of the top five sides, but I put that down to no rotation of the strikers because I dont have a sub. I will be signing a striker in 2 game weeks.

I still cant get the site to work so here is my squad as I can remember:

Pos Name Overall Rating Age
GK: Stamp 74 33
DF: Oulmers 65 20
DF: Campbell 66 26
DF: Kinsella 76 27
DF: Alonso 68 24
DF: Hidalgo 60 16
MF: Vila 67 27
MF: Hitzlsperger 74 24
MF: Stam 73 23
MF: Van Halst 73 23
MF: Leroy 77 31
MF: Matteo 19 21
ST: Djetou 75 32
ST: Velasco 68 24
ST: Celestini 76 29

Velasco top scorer with about 18 goals, Van Halst top assists with approx 11 and Velasco most MOMs of around 10. All player green style except Vila and Hidalgo.
Matteo was signed so I can have enough players to make transfers, he has never played and never will!!
 
One smilie: :eek:
 
Welcome, Canterbury. Now we'll have to persuade you to play civilization 3 as well ;)
Your team looks strong. Only that matteo with a rating of 19 is a bit out of line, but I guess that's a typo.

Still can't log on.
