Zamora is genuinely hopeless.

Wilfried must be the best cheap striker around, you should get him.

How are you playing him Mal. When I was Fulham Zamora scored pretty well either as a Target Man or Complete forward.

That release clause is sensational. Easily worth 15M without it.

What's the release clause?

I've tried him as a complete forward because I only play one up top but I decided to try fit him in by playing a 4-2-2-2 and used him as a target man. He was a bit better but completely hopeless in front of goal.

Cisse on the other hand - 31 goals in 34 games.

Somehow I've managed to keep a good run of form going and now I'm challenging Man City, Arsenal and Everton for 5th.

They confirmed that it was a bug.

Might be a bug, but it hasn't been fixed yet

All the better for it .

Witcher, your game is a fail if you are using other people's super tactics.

Football Manager snob eh...

Hardly. It's like editing all the players and claiming success because you moved all your players to a higher rating or using the corner glitches.

Using exploits within the game...

Tactics do not work the same regardless of what players you have though. A tactic specifically made for Napoli might function for Real Madrid but it won't be optimal.

A normal tactic does that. But these other tactics purposely exploit little faults in the match engine hence the reason they get such unrealistic results.

I use the Germany tactic every now and then, and always get 0-0 draws.

My homemade one is the best.

All my tactics suck. I think it is because I refuse to counter attack and refuse to play the ball long.

Paloschi only scores in the cup for me. I have Doumbia as my first choice striker, but Paloschi had 9 PL starts seeing as Doumbia was away at the African Cup of Nations. Didn't score at all.


In the cups he has 6 in 8.

If you have good fitness coaches and facilities then you'd be able to notch that up by 2/3 because at that age it can still increase a little.
Guess its too late for that now

I always though natural fitness was one of them stats that couldn't rise!


Oh well, my Marseille save was abandoned when my other laptop broke. I may try to retrieve it though because I had developed some good players on there. I posted screenshots of them ages ago, had an amazing deep lying playmaker that I bagged from some Brazilian club for 300k.

I can actually qualify for the CL.

Next two fixtures are tough though.

Dude... you've scored 87 goals. Sort the defence out.

Precious.

I have no money and I'm going in to games with a back four of Young - Ferdinand - Gabbidon - Taiwo.

Besides, I bought the players to fit the system without reading any guidelines on what players to buy. I'm quite happy at the end of it.

Ah I play games for fun. IE. not hacking pro's on Fifa or playing solely to win.

Oh right, you play them for fun? Must have missed that along the way. I just play to....play.

Apparently you have a win at all costs mentality, which is bad.

I don't think I do. But opinions will opinionate.
