Tips for football manager 2008
At the start of the game there are a number of players available on free transfers. Success in Football Manager 2009 is really all about the players. You also have the option to let your assistant manager take care of press conferences. In Game Settings you will find the option “Assistant Manager takes control of friendly matches”. Well you don’t have to, simply go to your manager page and open the menu. You need your players to build their fitness but it can be a real chore to play through five meaningless friendlies especially if you have already worked out your tactics. If you don’t like having to play friendlies before you get into the season then have your assistant manager do it. There are various ways to make life easier in Football Manager 2009 and one of them is to delegate properly. Manchester City have the largest starting budget at over £80 million, Arsenal get £38 million, Chelsea get £30 million, Tottenham get £27 million, Manchester United, Blackburn and Middlesbrough all get around £10 million. When the player arrives at the new club and the fee has been paid just terminate the loan deal. I’d recommend doing this with a rich team in another league so it doesn’t impact on your future games.Īnother way you can make cash without losing the player is to set up a loan deal with a cash payment attached. Once you have sold off your surplus players and built up a nice cash reserve simply retire the new user.
You’ll want to do this during the transfer window so the cash comes straight in and the player goes straight out. If you don’t mind cheating then you can always add a new user, take control of a rich team with a good reputation and buy your dead wood away for high prices. Every new manager wants to stamp their own mark on the new team but you inevitably inherit a squad of players some of whom you probably don’t want. One of the biggest problems you face as a new manager is finding the cash to build your own squad.
On the second page of this article you’ll find a list of recommended signings, both free transfers and wonderkids. If you are currently battling away with Football Manager 2009 you might be interested in a few tips and tricks and maybe even some cheats.
