The Doctor Posted 27 May 2011 Share Posted 27 May 2011 beat spain 3-1 (2 from goodwillie and a pen from courts), faced brazil in the final. Had to defend for most of the final but was ahead for almost the entire match - from kick-off brazil come racing foward, toss the ball into the box where it's smashed away by Danny Wilson, Thiago Silva (brazil cb) comes racing foward to head it, jumps under it and goodwillie is onside and through on goal, slotting past cesar to make it 1-0 scotland inside 50 seconds. Last ditch defending for the next 80 minutes, with brazil hitting the woodwork, having shots cleared off the line and generally coming as close as possible without scoring. Then with 10 minutes to go, brazil corner is headed away, darren fletcher clears the ball long and Andy Carroll outpaces the CB before hammering the ball into the far corner infront of the scotland fans. 2-0 scotland and wild celebrations from me. Held out to win the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcsnow Posted 27 May 2011 Share Posted 27 May 2011 Whats the best tactic to play in Spain? Just trying out a game with Sevilla, I like the 4-2-3-1 formation Real are playing but not sure what settings to have. I always pick Rigid in England but would Fluid work better in Spain?

This is very much down to the personnel. I haven't played in Spain in FM 2011 but had quite decent success as Sporting Gijon with a classic 4-5-1/4-2-3-1in FM 2010. All my tactics have been rigid or standard and attacking so I'd try that out if I were in your shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 27 May 2011 Share Posted 27 May 2011 Andy Carroll the Liverpool player who plays for England and has **** all pace or dribbling? not at liverpool or an england player on the 11.2 db and outpaces may be a bit of an over statement, more, through on goal on the half-way line since brazil had everyone foward looking for an equaliser - he had a 30 odd yard head-start on the defender and only just reached the box and got a shot away before the defender could get a tackle in.

The Doctor Posted 27 May 2011 Share Posted 27 May 2011 Right, i may have started hoarding players at leicester and i need to trim some fat. CB: D. Marcellis D. Wilson A. Tunchev D. Stojanovic (re-gen) J. Hobbs A. Cuntz (re-gen) L. Cuntz (re-gen) Y. Bondarenko (re-gen) M. Vitor D. Straub (re-gen) AMC: S. Nasri J. Wilshere O. Ba (re-gen) M. Pjanic Cidinho C. Eriksen are the problem areas, everywhere else has a starting player and a back up or two for each position. I want to keep 90% or so of the re-gens so my squad can be completely home-grown in 4/5 years time - any suggestions on who to sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see. How strange to leave a big and slow target man on his own up front facing a corner in the final minutes of a WC final when you lead by one goal instead of having him defend. Out of curiosity, did you also win the FA and CL finals that season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, did you also win the FA and CL finals that season? Not really, there are two options in the situation i described: 1) Leave a pacey but small player forward, all the big men in the box and lump it out to the pacey guy to try and counter. 2) Leave a big man up, hoof it out and hope the big man can hold the ball up and give the rest of the team a short breather. When i'm facing lesser opposition i'd choose the first one, try and score as many as possible but against the likes of brazil, argentina etc. with scotland and barcelona, R. Madrid etc. with leicester i tend to choose the second one and not try hard to get another. Sold Cidinho, loaned out a couple of the re-gens but why are only relatively big (cidinho went to leverkusen) sides making bids for my players, and even then it's only for pjanic... i'm trying to sell marcellis & eriksen but people aren't interested. edit: Actually there's probably a third option of pull everyone back and just defend for dear life but thats not a notion i'd ever entertain.

Finnegan Posted 28 May 2011 Share Posted 28 May 2011 Cos those players want chams league wages and games, even if they just sit on your bench. You have a catch 22 cos they need games for teams to be interested but they need to be festering in your ressies for smaller teams to try. I'd loan them out and negotiate a permanency fee or just flog em cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How odd. Because what would it serve you to have a pacy striker defending a corner? And isn't the point of having someone hold up the ball that the support cavalry comes charging to create a 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 situation thus defeating the 'short breather' theory? Each to theirs of course, but I find it odd. And it's probably because your players' reputation is too high for smaller clubs to go for them as you've won every single tournament. The AI knows it's not gonna happen. If their CA/PA don't correspond with their reputation (i.e. they've got a much higher reputation than their ability justifies) the AI will more likely go for cheaper alternatives.

And the pacey striker back is on the edge of the box - if the ball is half cleared I want my players to be there ahead of any of the opposition loitering outside the box, and the striker unlikely to do much in the air but with plenty of pace is best suited to be that sort of player.

The Doctor Posted 28 May 2011 Share Posted 28 May 2011 Got rid of marcellis on the final day. Just noticed i could have got rid of hobbs - only 13 of my 32 man first team squad are over 21 - so he'll go in january. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydos Posted 28 May 2011 Share Posted 28 May 2011 11 has grown on me but I think I still prefer 10. Might be 'cause of my epic 30 year City game and Luca Rosi. Still reckon it pips it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
