I've supported Juventus since I can't remember and I always will. Hope this 11.3 guide helps others. Please note: I haven't completed a season with Juventus yet but I'm in the process of doing so. I haven't bothered including pictures of tactics & signings but will do once I've made some...

Second season with Arsenal against my beloved NUFC.

Steve Bruce was a very good header of the ball and a penalty taker also. http://web.archive.org/web/20080514074757rn_1/www.setanta.com/en/TV-and-Entertainment/Entertainment/XI-at-11/XI-at-11-Goalscoring-centre-backs2/ Just had a friendly against RB Salzburg and out of 9 corners they scored 3...

You get an unrealistic amount of goals from a simple tactic, hence it is an exploit in the game. No player should ever score close to 40 goals from corners. If you rely on it then you aren't keeping in the spirit of the game. You can call it good management but it is still exposing a weakness in...

Just to follow on from my above post, I lost 2-1 to italy in the semi final of the olympics with only 2 subs! Both attacking midfielders. The players did their best but ran out of steam. For the 3rd/4th playoff against Ivory Coast I had the luxury of 3 subs, 2 attacking midfielders and a half...

Managing Brazil U23s at the Olympics and have had a horrid run of injuries. First I selected Pato who was injured for the first two matches and doubtful for the final group stage. After I give final confirmation of my squad I check my sub goalkeeper, who has possible foot injury and then the...

Moussa Sissoko as a left sided box to box midfielder? He banged in loads of goals (7 in 18) so far in a 4-1-2-1-2 chelsea style formation whilst I was managing ac milan. He does tend to shoot from anywhere and with only average finishing and long shots which could be wasteful at times. I got him...

Had a moment of panic when fm2010 wouldn't load up, then remembered this thread and all was well. Then had another one when LOAD LAST GAME was blacked out and wouldn't load my game and thought my saves were gone but they were still there in LOAD GAME. Disaster averted. Major thanks for this...

Yep it is. On a side note is there a world outside FM2010? I left out alot of the ones mentioned as they're 20+ at the start of the game so I didn't consider them for simplicity- Buonanotte, Keirisson, Schwab etc. It would get to complex so I took the easy way out and decided to exclude...

Which nation in Fm2010 has the most promising youth (Under 20) coming through? I think Spain have the best youth coming through who look most likely to succeed at international level. They have a good balance of various positions, and in Spain younger players are given more game time early in...

Very helpful post, lots of work went into it. I'd put forward Pato forward as a striking trequartista, getting very good performances from him alongside Borriello / Huntelar as an attacking target man in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation. His passing isn't brill but he does the job.

I'm the opposite to the other posters; I always fine two weeks wages for sendings off and drop the player if they go on a hissy fit about the fine. I always drop the player until they admit their behaviour was wrong and would keep them away from first team games. Allowing them to play when...

For me it has to be Andrea Consigli of Atalanta, loads of times my forwards have been through on goal, one on one only for this git to deny them. I really think he has it in for me, every season he saves his best performances just to get a mention on this specific thread. Well he has now. It's...

Very nice story and really like the detailed write-ups, in particular your reviews of the first team squad. Your write up style makes it very easy to read or skim through. I've followed (and managed) Valencia ever since the Ariel Ortega, Claudio Lopez, Gaizka Mendieta etc. era and reading your...

Interesting read and some nice dealings in the transfer market, have you brought through many home grown players into the starting 11? You seem to favour older heads e.g. bringing in Villa and with Macheda being sold to Inter, have you struggled meeting the requirements for european...
