Seems my latest tactic is coming up trumps at home - 17 points in 9 games and yest to lose. Away form is gash - 2 points from 8 games. Need to sort that out and once I have the relegation candidates will certainly be staying up.

Simon Cox is banging in the goals.

[Miles Mayhem]

[Simon Pieman]

Make a tactic and it takes 4 or 5 games to get going

I tend to use a simple 4-4-2, narrow play at Home and change it to Wide when playing Away especially when the opposing team doesn't like crosses into the box.

I know its Dorchester but these results speak for themselves, this is by far the best tactic I have made, it works at all levels and needs very little tweaking, just the passing....going from Direct to shoirt as you go up the leagues.

Averages about 20 shots per game, dont use any long shots at all, all set to no long shots, the mentality of the 3 DC's is set to ultra defensive.

I have got Swindon to the Prem in 3 years with this tactic it also works for top teams as well as teams as shit as Dorchester!

1 2-2 draw and 24 wins in the first 25 games, 116 goals for and 10 against.

Thought i would give a little update of my game so far....

1st Season as Swindon (League 1)...15th    I mainly decided to get used to the game, and save most of my money and get by with loans and very cheap signings.

2nd Season (League 1)....1st      I bought Simon Cox (even though he didnt do much first season) and he was brilliant. Scored 33 goals and ended up player of the year for Swindon and top goalscorer in the league.

3rd Season (Championship).....5th     Somehow managed to get in the playoffs in my first season! About to start them now, but basically realised you need to change your formation around every 7 or 8 games.

Players - The player that everyone should buy in their first season, as Swindon is Patrik Lomski....he will come to you, i bought him for 26k and now he is worth 3.1 Million. Dont expect too much in the first season, but he turns quality (and play him up front). He is a legend!

Graham Stack is currently the best Goalkeep in Championship (most MOTM awards)....he only cost me 4k in second season.

Mark Randall is the only player I have paid huge money for (1 million) but he has been worth it.


Just played by first playoff game against Derby:

I beat Watford 3-1 in the playoff final with Lomski scoring twice!!! Liverpool are sniffing around him now...he wont be going for less than 5 million thought
