Thanks for the quick replies. ESPN looks like a good bet at £6 a month. Can you get Setanta through virgin or do you need sky?

I've recently been wanting to get back into watching Serie A - I remember Channel 4 used to do Football Italia on a sunday afternoon, with Peter Brackely commentating and that bald chap, James something, hosting the show. When was this - mid 90's? Ahhh... my pre-teen years. Before women and beer...

I also look at my fixture list - if I have a big game only 3 or 4 days later then I think about the team that I wanr 100% fit for that

Hi all, My girlfriend is over in America and has offered to get me a copy of FM11 on her way back in a few weeks time. If she picks up a US copy will it be the same as a UK copy? It sounds a bit daft now that I've types the question, but I would be pretty frustrated if the disc was for a...

Which pitch sizes have been the most successful for everyone using this tactic? My wingers tends to get down the flanks quite a bit, but they also do fairly well when they cut inside, so just wondering whether its better to choose a wide pitch or a narrow one, or play the percentage game and...

aids?

If a team did it in real life, would the other teams report it as cheating? Or just mark him better...

May I suggest looking up one of Mr Hough's tactics - http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/f72/mr-houghs-wonder-tactic-t32044.html This plays with 3 up front, and his tactics are usually well received, so check out that thread. Edit: Whoops... looks like a cross-post with ChrisDCFC - sorry.

After considerable success using Mr Hough's wonderful wingers tactic I have made a wizard conversion for FM2010. All I've done is copy the settings in Mr Hough's original to replicate it and so far my successful results have continued. As for player roles I've set most positions as fairly...

Is it just me being a b@stard, or does anyone else do this? In my save I'm Man U/Spain manager, and I intentionally played a half-fit Torres just to injure him more. He was then injured for Liverpool's next game which they lost 1-0 to West Ham! I doubt you'd ever get away with that one in real...

[/CENTER] From your post can I make the following assumption: If I set up a game with, for example, England (lowest league League 2) and Northern Ireland (all leagues), then an "automatic" experience would give me 6 points, meaning I could sensibly walk into a Northern Irish Premier League...

Ah, good thinking Riddl3r. In what way would you exploit if a team is overloading on you... counter attack?

Does anyone take any notice of your coach's advice about when the opposition score/concede most of their goals? Is it worth pushing forward that bit more when they're most likely to concede, or dropping a little deeper when they're most likely to score? Any evidence to suggest either tactic works?
