FootieManager

[Shabbaman]

So, a little holiday didn't do my team any wrong: Cambuur won. I'm in fifth place, still going for that promotion place.

Anyone want to take a look at the Game 3 noticeboards and see who was voted the manager of the month . My goalkeeper was also voted player of the month for 11 clean sheets in 14 games .
Do any of your games arrange things like Game 3 do on their noticeboards? I think we have started up a number of little side games like manager and player of the month, international matches and friendly tournaments.

I won 2-0 in the Champions league last match, top my group now.

I'll go check it out. I 610 we have a Friendly tournament next seasoon since the current one is just about to end. But we don't have Manager or player of the month..
In G3 is it an actual month or a footie ''month'' ?

 

[Canterbury1985m]

The actual month, We only started in June and I won the that one, I have a lot of hard games now so I doubt I will win July.

 

[Canterbury1985m]

My squad at the moment. Ritchie(66) and Diakite(63) are going for two green strikers rated 67 and 60, they are both one year younger aswell.

 

[Shabbaman]

You're pretty low on defenders. What system are you currently playing?

 

[Canterbury1985m]

3-4-3, my defensive record is very good and their condition remains close to 100 but ive just had champs league match thats why it gone down at the moment. So Im alright with just the four of them.

 

[Inter4]

I'm surprised Djetou hasn't retired!

 

[Shabbaman]

He's probably having a good time
3-4-3, works fine for me. What are your other tactics, or are those secret? Do you change your tactics or keep them the same most of the time?

 

[Canterbury1985m]

I change tactics for home and away matches, but unless I spot a real threat or weakness in the opposition then they remain the same. Sorry I cant post them on this board as I know some managers from my league have noticed I post on here and dont want to risk them knowing my tactics .

I was also expecting Djetou to retire a while ago, I brought him at about 31 and only expected 2 seasons and have now got at least 4 from him, hopefully 5 as maximum age for outfield players is 35 I believe.

 

[Inter4]

Well, I invite those managers to register here and share with us their experience!

 

[Shabbaman]

You're free to PM them to me.
At least it's good to know that you actually change tactics (not the 3-4-3 system I suppose) frequently. I've been told that you shouldn't change tactics since your team works better if they play the same tactics for a longer period.

My tactics work fine, but with my team I feel I should dominate this league. There has to be something wrong, but when I change something it works for a couple of matches and then it falls back to "not working". I'm playing 3-4-3 with man marking (a must with 3-4-3 I think), supporting midfield (the only midfield setting that I've seen to have a beneficial influence on the team...), short plays for the attack (got no clue, but it sounds like something with passing, and I've got good passing ratings. Cross balls didn't work at all, and shooting from distance sounds even worse since my players are wasting a good number of opportunities already. So, I guess, short plays it should be.), overal is short passing (since it sounds like it combines with short plays, I guess here's room for change).

It worked this weekend, I trashed the opposition 0-3.

 

[Inter4]

Well, it was a good seaspn for me comparing it with last season where I ended up 9th.
Here's my team at the end of this season (week 35). I just bought Diakute, so I never used him this season. I'm still looking for a better GK, even if my GK was the second best of the league.

And this is the table..

Hope to win something next season.

 

[Canterbury1985m]

Very nice young side you have there, pre-season training should be good for you with so many youngsters.

 

[Inter4]

Yeah, I only aimed at young good players when I made my major transfer market. Right now I'm looking for veterans that can give more experience to the youngsters, like Diakite.

EDIT: This season Klimek improved 4 rating points . From 54 to 58.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

I registered months ago but I couldn't find a team. I took control of York City in game 3 the other day.

Glad to know we have more people to discuss with.

Brian: don't worry, no-one here plays CivIII anymore, at least I haven't in a LOOONG time.

 

[Shabbaman]
