Football Manager 2008

Really struggling with this.

I'm Leicester.

Seem to draw every home game 1-1 and lose every away game 2-0.

I think it may just be the most realistic game ever made.

Played it for seven hours twenty-eight minutes today and got sacked by Milan when we were 20th at the start of December. What a waste of time.

Who are the best players to play as Leicester? I can't seem to get anything out of Deej at all. Mattock, Weso and Kishishev all do okay for me but the rest are garbage.

Weso was awesome for me, Cort (yes, CARL CORT) finished as my top scorer. Hume was a class act playing in the AMC role. Porter works well in CM alongside either Weso or Clem, but Clem and Weso didn't work too well together at all. DJ Campbell is best brought off the bench around 60 - 65 minutes as an impact sub when players begin to get tired.

How much do you tweak your tactics in game and game to game? I haven't had the last couple of FMs, this arrived yesterday and I can't get used to it at all. I used to be able to set up a tactic and it would work consistently but with this I seem to go 2-0 down after 20 minutes to Charlton, Southampton etc with players like Todorov and Saganowski running riot every time. Very frustrating.

I can't help you with Southampton because my record was 0 - 2 against them in the Championship, with Saganowski looking like fooking Messi both times lol.

Consistency plays a lot more importance in this game though apparently, so I didn't tend to change my tactics on a game to game basis. I found one tactic which suited my particular group of players and persevered with it, and it got me into the playoffs. I only seemed to adjust my tactics when I was chasing a game or wanted to kill it off / hang on. And even then, it was only moving 1 player into a new position or changing the teams mentality.

I hate him on this game - i played southampton in the playoffs and lost 6-4 on aggregate and he scored 4 of them!

lol Hilarious. Rotherham away in the League Cup. 0-0. Chris O'f**king Grady puts them ahead in extra time. Stoppage time at the end of extra time COG gives away a penalty AND gets sent off. lol DJ slots it away and we win on pens.

:laugh:

I played 4-5-1 in the Championship with two MC's, AMR AMC AML the striker, using de Vries or Campbell. And Nielsen was a lot better than Fulop for me

Yeah last night I started a new game and followed JME's advice, stuck Cort up top with Hume in behind, signed Dwight Yorke to deputise in AMC, someone called Steven Robb to play AML, Ferreira and Kaebi sharing AMR, Weso and either Clem/Kish as the MCs, all sorted now.

Beat Watford 3-1 away... Even beat Wolves 3-0 at Molineux which was beautiful. Currently 4th.

Awesome. :cool:

Make sure you have somebody capable of filling in for Kaebi though 'cos Ferreira heads off in January and leaves a massive hole. He's awesome at this level on the game.

I only played Ferreira 4 times, payed Kaebi mostly on the wing I think
