Remembering Kevin Francis - Direct Target Man 442 Tactic - 117 points Birmingham 1st Season 2

[Bobby Davison’s Left Boot]

I would recommend pace for the target man. Just signed Kamara from Fulham and he scored a hatrick and two assists on debut. One goal was a header from a long throw, two using his pace to run onto through balls, and one assist was a flick on from a corner, and the other a run down the wing and a cross to my other striker.

I am Derby, first game was a 5-1 win over Huddersfield away.

I also signed Ivan Toney from Peterborough as back up, seems decent for the price.

any change against big teams or away games?

No - I do go to very defensive at 90 minutes (for injury time) if winning by only one goal though.

 

[MFC1986]

I tend to go very attacking or defensive in the last 10 minutes depending on if I’m winning or losing.

One of the most interesting season in my FM carrier has just finished as my PALERMO team have finished 4th in league and broke a record of the best place ever done before!
Yeah for the first time we will see PALERMO in CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ⚠⚠⚠
Board gave me again ****** 10M for transfers
This is a proof how hard is in Italian league to make some club like Palermo great again!
But that is my job!

As you can see my key defender,team leader and capitan was out for a 4 months out!

This guy I loaned somehow from AC MILAN...the rest is a history....best goalscorer in SERIA A award ?

And this guy I loaned from Atalanta and was the best player in SERIE A award ?

So I must say I have enjoyed a lot this season and for the next I would like to try to win SERIE A If I would be able to again LOAN players with little bigger reputation and ability,If not I will continue to earn some money to improve financial statement of my team!!!!!
FORZA PALERMO,FORZA ITALIA???

Great job - It's crazy to see so much blue! (loans) - I love Jan Hurtado - he was my first prem signing in a test I did with Birmingham in making this tactic. Think I'm going to start a new save - just winning 95% of games now with Birmingham! 47 unbeaten in season 4. Torn between Sarpsborg FF and Rosario Central.

Oh Nikola Zigic, yes. - Good luck!

Started a save with my home team Oxford United.

I've managed to find and sign an absolute beast of a target man! Will probably be ****, but I just COULD not resist.

Do you think Isak will be a good Target Man?
