West Ham United - First Season - Tips

[AshleySmith1993]

I'm going to start a game with the one and only West Ham United but is there anything I need to know about them before I do so as I havent managed them before on FM11?


All help is appreciated.


Thank You!

If you search Team Guides 2011 in the search bar it brings up a whole list of guides.

I reckon if Carlton Cole is played correctly he could easily get at least 20 goals a season.

Im doing a west ham save right now
In my first season I came fifth, played 4-5-1 and bought Christian Eriksen and lukaku as I feel we need an attacking midfielder and I don't really like Cole
I also played 442
Short controlling football
Demba Ba is one your best players, AML inside forward he is amazing

I will most likely be playing a 4-4-2, probably play Keane & Cole up top so do you think Demba Ba would be best playing as an AML?

 

[rhys93]

yh play ba as an inside forward

No, 11.2 but you should still find it useful.

Thats a **** of a good guide mate.
I'm going to have to get rid of McCarthy, Dyer & Boa Morte first as they are old and on ridiculous amounts of money and Piquione at the end of the season or maybe in January.

I think you need to buy someone with a bit of creativity, it's west ham have been lacking
Ba is a beast though
Don't sell Stanislas !

I might try and sign Moussa Sissoko if Tolouse dont want a rediculous amount of money for him & dont worry I would never sell Stanislas.

I'd seriously consider getting Eriksen, Loan him and put a future fee, when i get in I'll post a screenie of how well he's done for me

 

[wboyz]

kadlec as a striker or aml. will be cheap too. or you can try and get macheda in on loan
