The Biggest Heap of Rubbish Ever

So tomorrow the World Cup opens with fanfare rather tepid game between the hosts South Africa to Mexico. I do not expect anything great from this game in all honesty, South Africa is rather anemic to say the least and Mexico will not reach anything major beyond the stages phase (in truth there are some concerns ruling out a team like this since the case of Greece at Euro 2004 but I’m willing take the risk). Still, with the entire media buzz and the fact that we’ve been fed with so many chat-chats and writings it’s time to finally see some football.

Experimental Look at Training – Understanding Fitness

understanding fitness

Fitness is a key tool in a football management. I’m not talking here about things in the player’s level – what he eats, drinks, shits, this isn’t the manager’s concern and thankfully I don’t see FM go into details on that part. I’m talking about bringing the players to their top fitness game in the money time, whether it’s the champions’ league final or the blue square playoffs. I think it’s time to learn exactly how the fitness system of Football Manager functions, and if it reflects real life. (Or is that opposite now? What should reflect what exactly?)

How Useful is your Scouting Network?

Scouting in my opinion is the best job in the world after testing consoles’ games. Imagine, getting a fat paycheck (or any paycheck at all) to watch football games all over the world, write recommendations about potential stars, talk to managers, coaches and agents. Studying a team for the next game. So many uses scouting has that sometimes it’s hard to believe how some clubs manage without it. I’ve always wondered though, how to develop a massive network of scouts in Football Manager? Are the scouts’ reports a bit repetitive or unfulfilling their role? How the hell I convince the board that I need twenty scouts or even more? Do I need them really?

Squad Status isn’t Just a Feature. It’s a Status.

Have you ever touched squad status of certain players when it did not reach the point of offering a new contract or transfer listing them? Like many others I haven’t. I mean, what could be the effect of selecting the correct squad status for a player and does it really matter? Well, it is time to check  what is behind this tiny feature and explore a bit if it could help our man management.

Community Round-Up – May 2010

Back at the old days there were two sites offering the community round-up (or digest if you will), these were FM Old-Times which was some sort of Polish FM website and our favorite Watford fan Rob at the Football Manager portal. I decided to take over since no-one else has.

It has been a busy month in the Football Manager Community with some excellent writings out there. Let’s get to it then shall we?

Designing a Specialized Shut Up Shop Tactic

Few nights ago Internazionale has won the Champions League as predicted by the entire world (and Football Manager apparently). Mourinho’s intentions to stay in Madrid even before the match were crystal clear; he wanted a bigger stage than what Inter has to offer and the soulless group from the Spanish capital is the biggest stage in football these days. In the rate Real spending money and outsourcing their first team it will be hilarious if the special one wouldn’t win anything next season.

On Football Manager on the other hand, The Galacticos are just formidable. Real Madrid has a monopoly on the La Liga in terms of quality of existing players, quality on the bench, quality of youth system and let’s not forget the fact that they are rich as ass. The only question asked is how do I avoid defeat?
