Start of Euro 2008 - Football Championship we waited so much!
2008-06-07 20:39:00
My dear readers, I congratulate you with the start of so awaited Euro 2008 ! During this month a lot of us will play Football Manager less than usually because we are going to spend much time sitting near TV-sets :) The opening match was very the same as during the last Euro championships when home team looses the game with 0:1 score. Switzerland - Czech Republic... My opinion is that the game was really even and national team of Switzerland didn't deserve the loss. They could have penalty after Ujfalusi's hand in the box. Or there could be goal if Fonlanten is more lucky when ball had got in the bar without chance for Petr Cech to save it. In the end I think that was the match between two rather average national teams (though Czech has more experience, of course). They didn't do anything that could wonder us like brilliant technique, unpredictable passes, flamboyant actions. Buy I think that one of these teams will get into quaterfinals but not further... PS. Sorry for o...

Here comes the second part of my rating of Football Manager 2008 Resources in the Internet. FM 2008 Blogs Unfortunately FM blogs are not so developed as forums.

Transfers and targets of Southampton before the 4th season in Football Mana
2008-05-29 21:38:00
Hello, my dear readers! The old season is over but the new one is coming up. Understanding the strength of other team I decided to risk a little bit. I reaffirmed board that top half position can be achieved by the football club. Therefore they expect a respectable league position in Premier Division: Sure, it's hard to gain such result without buying some players better than I have at the moment. I made player research for covering and strengthening the most weak positions in my team: DC, AMR, MC, DL. What's interesting - the most of the players were signed as free agents (under Bosman rule): Edson Braafheid is left back with very high mental abilities. Souleymane Diamoutene is strong DRC whom I'm planning to use as central defender instead of Isaac Okoronkwo. Theo Jansen is well-known creative MLC who should be really useful for my team. And there is also another forward Niculae from Romania in the club! But his name is Daniel not Marius. So I have now 2 Niculaes in a...

Pretty season ending by Southampton - we are 13th!
2008-05-25 20:46:00
After the change of tactical approach the results of my team highly improved. And the last 6 matches in Premier League were not an exclusion.  Among them I would single out the last three matches. The game with Arsenal was kind of loss on a class. All four goals were scored by Robin Van Persie. And I felt how much their players are better personally than Southampton ones. What's interesting the match with Liverpool was very different one. That's because Liverpool is not so strong in my game in the current season. I mean the quality of players and also organization of their playing team style taking into comparison Gunners. Therefore we managed to win the game! And the last match with Man City was some kind of small festival. The victory in this game provided the 13th position for my Southampton! You see from Premier League standing that Arsenal has wonderful result of 96 points. And they are really cool team now still having leaders of attack: Fabregas, Adebayor, Va...

Best Players for Lower Leagues in Football Manager 2008
2008-05-18 20:38:00
I was asked by one of you, my dear readers, to make exploration about cheap player who can be bought to lower league teams. For instance, Coca-Cola Championship and League 1 players. It had taken several days to do that. And I want to represent you its results below: Fabien Barthez 36 years. Famous eccentric French goalkeeper. Available from free transfer! Must be signed if you do not have good keeper at the start. But be aware of from other clubs being concurrent to sign this legendary goalkeeper. Marius Niculae 26 yeas. Inverness CT. $425K. Brilliant Romanian striker. I praised him in my blog many times. Marius is the certain leader of my Southampton in Premier League! Benoit Leroy 24 years. Chamois Niortas. $120K. AMLC/FC.  Rather versatile player who can perform as attacking midfielder and forward. I use him also in my Southampton. And Leroy is one of the best and reliable players in the team. Stelvio 18 years. Braga. Very young and cheap guy from...

Download of my defensive 4-1-4-1 tactics for Football Manager 2008
2008-05-15 21:47:00
In the previous post I described my new rather fluent tactical approach that helps to gain success in Premier League if you manage weak club (like Southampton, Wigan, Derby, etc.). The main part of this approach is usage of defensive 4-1-4-1 tactics. You can download it from here: Download tactics   And now some description of this tactics. Its formation looks in the following way: Team instructions Individual instructions They are the same as in 4-3-3 tactics. Actually this 4-1-4-1 tactics is created from this attacking 4-3-3. I just moved MLC and MRC from 4-3-3 tactics into positions of clear attacking wingers: ML and MR. And my 2 forwards (FLC, FRC) were moved  into MLC and MRC positions.   Some tips and hints during match - if your opponent plays more aggressive, has more possession of the ball, set Closing Down to maximal value; - if your opponent is very strong and you play away, turn on Counter Attack - For away game Mentality can be set more...

Southampton. Fluent tactical approach matters!
2008-05-11 08:28:00
Today I have some good news about my Southampton . As it was decided in previous story message - my team should operate more defensively if we want to avoid relegation from Premier League. And, of course, I had real motivation for creation of defensive tactics because my team was on the last position when 24 matches had already been played. Actually, I hadn't created new tactics from the very beginning. I just changed formation of my current attacking one. You can compare both formations: 4-3-3 Attacking          ;       0;      
60;      4-1-4-1 Defensive       So I just moved MLC and MRC from 4-3-3 tactics into positions of clear attacking wingers: ML and MR. And my 2 forwards (FLC, FRC) were moved  into MLC and MRC positions.  For 4-1-4-1 tactics I have been using Normal mentality without Counter Attacks. Though ...

Young talents and wonderkids in Football Manager 2008: Forwards (FC)
2008-05-07 23:55:00
It's very important to have dangerous forwards in your team. And it's always cool when your dangerous forwards are young and talented. Due to youngness and prospect they can progress much and be developed during trainings into real world stars. These guys are called wonderkid forwards. I decided to make deep search of them in FM 2008.   Wonderkids  Sergio Aguero The greatest Argentinian wonderkid from Atletico Madrid for this position! But he costs very much ($26.5M) and can be bought only by grand clubs. Brilliant technique, dribbling, speed, stamina and mental abilities. Very well-known attacker among football manager gamers. There are also some other very high priced wonderkids: Pato from Milan, Wayne Rooney from Manchester United, Ryan Babel from Liverpool. I will not say about them much because the guys are worldwide known (actually as Aguerro :) ) and cost a lot of money.  Karim Benzema New young star striker of Lyon. Technical gifted, cool finis...

2008-05-05 23:37:00
The last two parts of my Position Guide is about different types of forwards in a team. The first type is so called "quick forwards". It demands the following attributes to have high values: Most important attributes Pace & Acceleration – very important attributes if you need a quick striker. With high values of them he will be able to move faster than opponent’s defenders getting often into the box and having one-on-ones. Finishing – vital for every striker. If your forward can’t shoot the ball and score, he is bad one. First Touch – passing and shooting making just one touch is very good and leads to quick and one-touch goals. Dribbling – ability to get the ball past the opponent using technical tricks on speed. Off The Ball – making good runs into space, taking the best attacking position. Technique – high technique of forward is important for better control of the ball. Less important attributes Agility ...

The half of Premier League season is passed. Still at the bottom :)
2008-05-02 12:33:00
The first season in the Premier League of my  Southampton story  is still very hard for me. The results are very different but mostly sad. Though we still create rather many moments in every match due to usage of 4-3-3 attacking tactics. Here I have brilliant 4:1 away victory over Derby, fantastic 5:3 with Liverpool, good 2:1 with Aston VIlla and very important, hard 2:1 win over rival Tottenham Hotspurs in FA Cup. On the other hand there were really disappointing losses like 1:6 to Chelsea and 1:4 to Newcastle. It was also very pity to loose the game with Manchester City with the hockey score 4:5 when my Southampton was leading all the match through. By the way, look at the results of December: 2:4, 5:3, 4:5, 1:6 .... Seems like I manage some kind of hockey team!!!! :))) After all the league table look in the following way: You see Southampton scores a lot goals (being on 8th place on scored goals) and misses a lot too... This is the result of aforementioned 4-3...

At the bottom of Premier League. Lady Luck is against us
2008-04-26 19:51:00
Hi everyone! Today I'm going to continue my Southampton story telling you about the awaited start in Premier League . After making several transfers, we played the first 12 matches plus 3 games in English League Cup. And unfortunately we cannot boast with our results. Just look at them:   The first matches were hopeful. I was thinking in that way after victories over Newcastle and Nottingham Forest (in penalty series). But then we had row of rather bright losses. The common scenario of the most of those matches was: - One of my forwards scores and we lead in a game (1:0) - Opponents scores (1:1) - Opponents scores (1:2) .... and so on... and score against us in the end. That's why many Premier League teams had strong-willed victory against my Southampton. Especially, Liverpool - they were loosing 1:4 in second half. And I was thinking that victory is in my pocket completely! But suddenly guys from Mercyside managed to score 4 times and win the game - 5:4! As a result we...

Defensive Midfielders (DMC) Most important attributes Tackling – the most important attribute for any DMC. Positioning – taking right position is vital for ball interceptions.

Southampton: Before start in Premier League. Making transfers
2008-04-18 20:53:00
Dramatic promotion of my Southampton to Premier League obliges to fight for higher achievements in the upcoming season. So I decided to choose "Avoid relegation" season expectations instead of "Attempt to avoid relegation" option. The club board gave almost 31.5 million of bucks to spend on transfers for that. And I was happy with that sum of money because my current squad had been the most weak comparing with other Premier League teams definitely. Therefore I spent much time exploring and scouting football clubs and national teams... I decided to buy very different types of players in all lines expect goalkeepers. What's interesting I bought some of the players using your advices, my dear readers, in the comments of this post and this one. Among them young Niklas Barkroth, Georginio Wijnaldum, Lauri Dalla Valle, Miralem Pjanic. All the transfers has taken almost all my transfer money: The most important purchase is Aaron Mokoena whom I set to become a ne...

Low tackling – bad defender. Jumping – the major attribute that influences much likehood of winning headers. Positioning – very important attribute for central defender. Low positioning will lead to problems in the centre of your defense. Marking – low marking will result in goal situations cause by loss of opponent’s player during their attack or set piece. Strength – influences on likehood of won headers. Less important attributes Anticipation – ability of defender to predict where the ball will be in the next moment.

Unbelievable and dramatic season ending. Back in Premier League!
2008-04-09 22:18:00
Ye, my Southampton has returned to Premier League ! Yahoo!!!! :) The tactics lived up my expectations and give so much awaited result! But, but, but.... Take a look at the results of the last season matches: We have lost 4 important games in Coca-Cola Championship and taken 3rd place finally. Not the second one as I expected!   And if you take a closer look at the League Table, you will see that Sheff Utd and my Southampton have equal amount of points - 86. But they have goal difference higher than ours on just 1 goal!!! And the most unbelievable thing happened during the last fixture when Sheffield United guys were loosing 1:0 and we were winning over Stoke 4:0 on the 75th minute! This means I had a chance to leave behind the team having advantage over my team before the last fixture on: 3 points and 6 goals in G.D!  But my Southampton haven't coped (though almost coped) with this task during last 20 minutes of the match with Stoke. If we score one goal more, it...

Position Guide for Football Manager 2008: Goalkeepers
2008-04-04 10:15:00
I'm starting new guide that presents you my vision of choosing players on concrete positions. Hope it will give some help for you, my dear readers!Goalkeepers (GK) Most important attributesHandling ? The most important attribute for keeper, I believe. Low handling means that goalkeeper can miss or loose the ball flying near his hands. Reflexes ? The second important attribute showing how GK can react to make a save. Keeper with Reflexes= 20 is be able to do fantastic saves.Jumping ? Guy with low Jumping will be not so good in coping with long shots or crosses from flanks.Less important attributesAgility ? It?s always better to have more agile goalkeeper.Aerial Ability ? How easily your GK can do his job when he is in the air, for instance, claiming crosses in the box.Communication & Command of Area ? I do not see big diversity between these two. But both attributes are important and about communication with defenders. The second one is more used during set pieces.Concentration ? i...

Southampton. Few transfers, January and February matches in the Coca-Cola C
2008-04-01 07:03:00
Starting the second half of the season I decided to make few actions on the transfer market and get some useful player for the club:   Martin Jakubko is towering striker from Slovakia. Bought him just for winning headers in the centre of attack and scoring goals. Douglas Rinaldi. MC. Italian/Brazilian of rather old 30 years age. He has all attribute values of decent level and high Passing and Creativity - 17. Yazid Mansouri. MRC. Rather versatile player from Algeria. He is 30 years old too. His high mental abilities, good physics and Passing with Tackling can be seen on the picture below: So all these signings were targeted at not only strengthening the team but also giving some flexibility in tactical variants of the first squad. That's, for instance, when you can set as MC more defensive footballer with high tackling and stamina or more attacking one with creative passing (like I described in the previous post about Individual Instructions). The resulting row of Ja...

My Southampton story looks successful having the club on the way to Premier League. And actually I am very happy with the tactics I created for my team. I think it is the most good of all I created before in FM 2008.

Positionally the tactics is classic 4-3-3 scheme with forward and side arrows for left and right halfbacks: Team instructions are: You see that it's of attacking mentality with full closing down and rather quick style of playing. There is also Tight Marking set up just because of need to make close pressing and leave space of opponent's attacking players. Individual instructions Left/Right and Central Defenders have very common individual instructions which are almost the same as standard presets in Football Manager 2008 .

Hopefully, in half of year we all will see and play the new version of FM series - FM 2009. May be it is to early to talk about expected new features but I would like to :) So, the list of features I would recommend Sports Interactive to produce is:? Add some new interesting team and player instructions that will add more tactical diversity.? Get license for national team of Germany :)? Getting wider player statistics after match.? More possibilities to spend the club money (training camps, club facilities...)? Possibilities to do anything with money your earn as manager. For now salary gives nothing to a FM player.? More options in player interaction and media talks.The True Football Manager

Southampton. The 1st half of 2nd season, before transfer window.
2008-03-23 12:54:00
Here the results of the first half of the season I'm playing now:   Plus match with Ipswich: - it didn't fit to the previous screen shot :) You see that October results were very poor for football club intending to promote to Premier League. Those results were caused by poor teamwork (common known problem of the totally renewed first squad) and the injuries of key players. But in November and December my Southampton got to the lossless row of matches! During these matches I felt that my current tactics is the most competitive of all I created in Football Manager 2008. And at last all new players of the team began to play and coordinate as Team almost perfectly! I think my new 4-3-3 tactical scheme is ready to be presented to all of you, my dear readers, because it looks and feels very effective in my current Coca-Cola Championship experience. I will do this in one of the following blog posts. What was really cool is the victory over Wolves with the score 6:0. They are o...

Good season start by Southampton with Marius Niculae as leading striker.
2008-03-19 19:44:00
I would not dream about better start because of usage of new tactics and the almost full change of the first squad comparing with the previous season. Among all these matches I would single out the one with Ipswich where my guys scored 6 goals, and no one player of the opponent team was sent off. The one with Watford finished as away victory 2:1. We were lucky about that because Watford consists of highly professional footballers who will definitely fight for promotion to the Barclays Premier League. It's a pity but there were some matches in which my team suddenly lost concentration missing goals and loosing victory or even draw. I discarded these results on poor teamwork because all players of our first squad are new each to other. Currently my Southampton is taking the 6th position after 12 fixtures in the Championship:   There are some player stats after all those matches: You see who is the best player in this list? Marius Niculae! He is very consistent and det...
