Help with Adelaide United ( A-league)

[inyourshadow]

hi i'am new to football manager 2009 and have never played any of the previous versions I have selected adelaide united and started playing with
them can anyone help me with my formations and tactics to use

due to the skill level of the a - league in the game it is hard to work out what to do

i need a good formation that works with average stikers and midfielders

and a training schedule to help me re -build this team from the ground up

and if anyone knows any real good free agents that don't demand huge salarys that would also be very helpful

version 9.0 i have not downloaded any patches as of yet

if anyone out there can help me out it would be greatly appreciated
