what is the differnce betwen defender and fullback?

 

[Lethul]

so when i start a new game, should i start with kicking all of my coaches and getting recomended coaches for 7 star training?

 

[Tasslehoff]

Fullback is the defender playing in the side

 

[Marc]

ok..... Here is my squad atm. first season so dont go LAWL LOOKS LOL!

.....

Goalkeepers - Itandje , (inc soon maybe akinfeev .. work permit ftl )
DC's - Carragher , Hyypia , Skrtel , Agger
Fullbacks - Arbeloa , Finnan , Aurelio , Riise
DM's - Mascherano , Lucas
MC's - Alonso
AMF - Gerrard
Wingers - Benanyoun , Babel
Strikers - Torres , Crouch , Voronin , Babel


So yeah... 20m left to spend. if you know any players i can strengthen my squad by.... please tell !!! Reps will be rewarded!

As you wont be able to really strengthen your team with £20m, id plan for the future

Breno
Aquino
Lulinha
Marin

Are players I buy at the start and bang them in my reserves. Although Aquinos stats look average when you buy him, he still puts in performances for your first team when called upon which is strange.

Aguero is also a must buy, but thats normally in the second season. Also Andres Guardado is a must buy for Left wing.

[Lethul]

Hi! it's time for me to try this game once again! I'm gonna play with a couple of friends online. We are gonna play the swedish league (sucky players). Anyone have any idea of decent players i could get as a swedish team?

And what patch is most up to date?

 

[Aoami]

8.0.2 is the up to date patch. As for bringing players to Sweden - difficult. Hire some good scouts and send them around europe they'll bring back some players who will sign for you.

First thing I do on FM2008 is no matter who i am, sack my assistant manager and bring in Ricardo Moniz as assistant.

Untick "all" on his training programme and assign him to just ball control. There you go, 7 stars in ball control. He gets team talks spot on too. Is great at working with youngsters so he knows which senior player is best to tutor your kids and I always use him when I want a report card on someone.

Hes awesome.

Anyone know if its even possible to bring in Moniz?

 

[georgie]

Dunno about Moniz... try Muniz instead.

 

[Aoami]

Anyone know if its even possible to bring in Moniz?

Only as an Assistant Manager, he's difficult to bring in as a coach unless you throw 10+ grand a week at him.

 

[megadave]

malcolm not moniz!

anyone know when 2009 is due?

 

[Lethul]

Im very confused, my game starts in august 2006. And my first game is in september 2007? Woot?

 

[Lethul]

Only as an Assistant Manager, he's difficult to bring in as a coach unless you throw 10+ grand a week at him.

For me it was teh opposite I couldn't get him near Liverpool even with max allowed salary as Ass.Man (PUN). But i could get him as coach and then change his contract to Ass.Man

 

[Ormorof]

malcolm not moniz!

anyone know when 2009 is due?

31/10/2008 according to play.com which seems to be around similar dates to last few annual releases, not heard about a lot of new features in this one though since they've been focusing on FM Live which is out in a month or two

 

[georgie]

Is there actually a firm date for FM Live now?

 

[Aoami]

Dunno, but it's crap anyway.
