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...
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 &-#160; &#-160; -60; -0; -; 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 ...

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...
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 attacking tactics - 4-3-3 TFM Quick. The best I created in F
2008-03-30 11:33:00 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. So it would be harsh if I didn't share it with you, my dear readers: Download Tactics And now, for sure, I'm going to describe it and maybe give some instructions how it should be used. 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. MLC and MRC players have some Creative Free...
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...
Transfers of Southampton - squad revolution before the 2nd season!
2008-03-16 16:01:00 Taking control over Southampton I was thinking that it has strong squad comparing with other Coca-Cola Championship teams. But during the finish of the season I understood that most of players are rather weak. Or at least, they did not fit my tactics. That is the reason why I decided to do the action which I perform very rarely playing FM/CM series - total renewal of the squad! It is very risky one because you buy the first team players that do not know each other. So they have to have some time (10-20 matches) to become perfectly coordinate as Team. I called it "Squad Revolution". You can see it on the screen shot below: Among the sold players I would single out Marek Saganowski who had been awarded as the Fans Player of The Year. It was brave transfer because some fans and players reacted negatively on it. But Saganowski was not so good as I had expected before. Moreover he wanted very high salary. And he found it in Middlesbrough (that relegated from Premier League)...
Finishing the season with Southampton
2008-03-05 07:43:00 Unfortunately the finish of the season was not successful as I had expected. My Southampton took only 12th place and I got again under fire of fans and board. But that was a great luck not being sacked this time! Board decided to give me one more chance with the club. Poor 12th place (8 points away from promotion playoff zone) was caused by two factors: Weak players, especially forwards Ineffective tactical approach with standard 4-4-2 scheme Therefore we get the following results in the last matches of the season: I decided to forgot these experience with standard 4-4-2 and try to create totally new attacking tactics with 3 forwards. Another my task for the new season is creating of the team buying a lot of new players and selling many old ones. So its human resources revolution is coming to Southampton! :) And, for sure, I could not set season expectations lower than promotion to Premier League. Any other result will be considered as total failure! Th...
Welcome to Southampton
2008-02-27 08:49:00 Hey, all my readers! I have a good news! Southampton became the new club that I will be managing. They accepted my suggestion and I was glad to be invited to such well-known club. I never managed it before in the previous versions of Football or Championship Manager. It will be rather tough challenge for me because Southampton board has Premier League promotion ambitions: And the current situation in the Coca-Cola Championship is: You see my new club is on the 9th place (and this was enough for sacking the previous manager of Southampton). The rules of this league say that two top teams win promotion to Premier Division. And teams placed 3rd-6th qualify for Playoff rounds having very difficult and nervous battle for only one last promotion place. My Southampton is far from the 2nd placed Sheffield United on 12 points and just 4 points from the 6th place. So I think it will be a very interesting challenge because now I do not have time to tune the tactics. I should ...

Gareth Ready To Bale On Southampton In 10 Million Pound Deal
2007-01-23 21:57:01 Southampton have reportedly accepted a bid of £10M for Welsh starlet Gareth Bale. The left back has caught the eye of a number of Premiership managers with solid performances and dazzling freekicks. Tottenham are believed to have been the first to place a bid in the region of £6M which was promptly turned down. Other suitors include Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United. Manager George Burley would be disappointed to see Bale leave as it would disrupte his charge for promotion to the Premiership and he sees the Welshman as an integral part of his future. Promotion would be worth a lot more financially than the transfer fee that they might get now from selling Bale.
