......Except that Keane is woeful. I've signed Keirrison and the fans think it is an "aberration". Thick scouse tw*ts.

Got mine working now after the new patch. Bit silly how they treat a operating system that only got changed less than 18 months ago as 'unsupported'. Yet Xp is 7 years old. Yet i digress.

Mid September now and having a slow start but still better than the real team. Signed Diarra but couldn't sign Marcelo yet could no problem in Demo (along with everyone else).

Playing 4-4-2 with:

Foster
Srna rb
Evra lb
Vidic
Ferdinand
Ronaldo rw
Buonanottw lw
Anderson
Carrick
Berbatov
Rooney

[uTranslation:[/u I bought a laptop with a crap graphics card.



Apart from those with crap graphics cards can't play the 3D.

Im playing the '08 version but struggle to know what to mess with when it comes to tactics and what actually makes a difference. Any advice on what works well. I generally go for a solid back 4, lots of pace & flair in midfield and prolific strikers. usually 4-4-2, sometimes 4-3-3

I Have A Great Tactic 4-2-3-1 I'll Put Up The Link When I'm Home Tomorrow, I Was Arka Gydnia In The Poland 2nd League, I Won That In My First Year Then Came 9th First Season In The Top Flight Then 5 League Titles In A Row And The Champions League Group Stages 3 Times, Now I Have Just Taken Over At Tottenham In 2013/14 I Think It Is After They Sacked Sam Allardyce...

Oh La-Dicko

Tried it this afternoon on the 3D engine, works ok actually



As I said though, having it in 3D dont make slight bit of difference to me.

You have to pick your team based on the individual attributes and their positions. That is for example, central defenders should have good positioning, heading, marking etc. The attribute number is dependant on which league you are in.

I created my own 41212 based on the above and I took Leeds from League 1 to European Champions in 6 years.

Ta for confirming my initial thoughts.

Decided to stick with '08 for the time being, into my second season with Villa my starting 11 is something like this:

Green

Onouha
Woodgate
A. Ferdinand
Bale

Nolan/Reo-Coker
Jenas

Barry
Elano
Young

Carew/Ashton

Bench:
Ankerman
Davies
Reo-Coker/Nolan
Petrov
Carew/Ashton

Also signed; Vanger Love who has been quite dissapointing so far, Signed Sturridge who is out on loan and Danny Welbeck who is also out on loan.

Finished 6th in my first season at Villa so looking for a top 5/4 finish this year.

I hae got promoted twice in three years with the mighty Montrose! 4-4-2 all the way upto now

Fm 2009 4-5-1 attacking but push the 2 wide men forward a little bit.

Played about with formations for the first month and was unsuccesful but went pretty much unbeaten with an injury hit squad for the rest of the season.

Anyone got major injury problems with this game aswell? all of this list out for at least a month and it's really effing me off

Bojan
Eto'o
Arshavin
Messi
Marquez
Alves
