Looking for some new defenders as I'm now in the EPL with Forest. I've signed Fabio from Man Utd on a Free, Kerlon for 10m. So need some DC, and a LB.

Who should I look to buy? I have abour £10m left, and am in my 3rd season.

DC could be Breno.

LB could possibly get Shorey? If not, could have a look at Bale, Matty Taylor as a WBL, Timothee Atouba perhaps too. Oh, and Kleber.

I find that with scouting, bar the few U18s that are known to be good IRL, then the game generally rates them really low.
Prehaps thats to 'protect' the clubs who have them, so they dont go for nout?

Was after Breno, but he was transfered before the start of the new season so only had 700k to spend and he went for 10m or so!!

I have got Havard Nordtveit on loan for the season. Any good?
 
Can I just express my anger at football manager. I love the game, i'm addicted to it. But sometimes it will deliberately try to destroy my mind. For example, I was just in a very important game, only stoppage time left, needed to keep a clean sheet, all was going brilliantly, managed to get a corner up the other end.......and for some reason my goalkeeper decides to go all the way up the pitch to try to score. the team was set to defend, he was set to 'default' tactics. and then they score into my open goal as a result. :(
 
Have your GK set to defensive, never runs forward, etc;

I find both of my keepers, Dida & Akinfeev get excited by corners.
Luckily, neither has cost me a goal thus far! lol.
 
If you dont mind the player being on the wrong side of 30, and have about £10-15m to spend, i can guarantee you that Toni will score you goals for fun. He's not pacy, but i havnt had a FM game where he hasnt scored a shed load.
Antonio Di Natale's worth a look as well. I think he's about Toni's age too, but in my current FM game, he's like lightening, and finished last season on 18 goals.
 
Ahh stupid me. I cant find my CD for FM08, and just installed the patch..now i cant run the game. Is there any No CD Patches for v8.0.1?
 
Im at the final 2 games of the season.
Won the league by 29 points. And ive still got to play Inter in the CL final and Juve in the cup final.
When ive played Inter in the final, i would have played them 5 times this season, with 3 of them in the last month in the game! lol.

Got my targets for the transfer market in mind, and am already planning for my next season! lol.

And i think ive finally devised a good 4-3-2-1 tactic.
My revised one has helped me stuff Inter & Valencia 3-0 & 4-1 at their place's. lol.

sounds good mate, i was having a go at making a 4-3-2-1 tactic the other day but it just never seemed to work for me kept getting hit on the break against teams with decent wingers. even setting the full backs to no forward runs they still got caught out a little too often
