FM 2005 Tips

[Ben Wah Balls]

These were my tactics for league one:

Pretty basic, worked ok but for the championship had to change the whole squad around and change the tactics too.

Migz is playing imense for me in that 4-1-2-1-2 formation, he was injured for ages, so i put him in reserves to get fitnes, and forgot he was in there, and he started complaining for lack of first team, so i brought him back in, and in his 2 games he has played 10 both times, he is a god, im going to get him to the million pound mark. thats my goal

back in the day, at the start of my current game, i was managing Town. got em into the premiership too. Parkin left after 2 seasons, joined coventry  :| but 2 years later was back playing for my boys!!! still had grant smith, he's the key midfielder i find, 3 seasons in he becomes pretty much undroppable. scores loads.



cant remember who i ended up with, but pretty much it was smith, migs and parkin that were left after 5 seasons. Went to Sunderland, won the championship, in 3 successive seasons i won the league cup, FA cup, premiership and uefa cup double. then got sacked 6 months later  :evil: ended up at Espanyol, and am now England manager too

Got promoted in my first season, then offloaded Roberts to Norwich for £850,000. I've no idea why they wanted him, as they already had Ashton and Huckerby. Have now been midtable Championship team for a while.

Got bored a few weeks ago and had a fiddle with the data editor (big mistake, have now lost the original stats etc)and started a new game with my newly edited team. £259m for transfers, promoted first season, Parkin now worth £3m and scored 48 goals in 36 games.

When you've got a bit of money, have a look for these:
Hosain Kaebi -  Iranian teenager who plays right wing.
Francisco Pavon -  Honduran AM/Striker
Stephen Warnock, should be able to get him on season loan in League One.
Freddy Guarin - superb, DM only 18.

Parkin is immense on that game

[magicroundabout]

Jillinum came in with the min release fee of £350k and he went just as i was getting promoted to championship :evil:

now valued at £2mil.

[unclemark]

Gillingham scum  :evil:

[Spud]

Parkins minimum release fee is a complete bastard on that game, 6-7 games into the season and Hull are always on the case. :twisted:

[Leggett]

yea i always try to throw a new contract at him but he never agrees


and you've gotta love the crippling financial burdens on town in the game, even in the premiership i had a wage limit of £100k p/w...

[Whits]

he got injured in my game, out for 3 months, i got him to sign a 5 year while his morale was low  

easy, we should have broken his legs this summer  

[Spud]

Yeah i always try to agree a new contract but he never accepts and then Hull sign him. :?

[Leggett]

tis a right proper bastard!!!


i tried getting darius henderson too    but he wouldnt sign, cunt

[unclemark]

I tend to play LMA Manager because you can see the players, as in actual moving 3d etc

[Spud]

tis a right proper bastard!!!


i tried getting darius henderson too    but he wouldnt sign, cunt

I signed Henderson for Hereford in the very first season for 7k, 2 years later i sold him for £250k plus add ons. I won the league thnaks to him and his headers.

Re: Parkin

When clubs start sniffing around offer him to them for £300k.  Then when they submit the bid tell them you want £900k or so and someone normally goes for it.

Cheating, but hey :smile1:
