Only Difference to the barca tactic, is the fact that i take a 4-4-2,
Drop one striker to a AM/CF role, But no central, like just move him dwn, so he is a LCF and the ST is a RS. And i pump up my wingers up to Wing roles.

Works nicer then the usual 4-2-3-1

i use: 4 1 1 2 2 works perfectly with fiore Quagliarella was the top scorer of the serie a B)

mirko.. who do you play on the wings? what kind of strategy do you use? attack from the left wing? right wing?

oh.. and i sold kewell to get ribery

the greedy bastard.. wanted money when he hardly played for us

My tactics are quite simple, Attacking (in between middle and All out attack)

Play Torres uptop, (Target man supply: Torres = RUN ON TO BALL, Others = Mixed)

Passing style, either Direct or Short passing (depending who is in CM and who is striker)

Width : FULL

Closing down near full

Defensive line : if using Agger and Hobbs or Arbeloa : Pused up if Carra just a lil pushed up, if Hyppia just under halfway (all depends on speed of CB's)

Counter: YES
TIGHT MARK: YES
ZONAL DEF.


wingers? Pennant, Gerrard, Babel, Benayoun and Babel all play on wings for me.

whats the diff between direct and short balls

whos good at what?

Direct is early balls straight up to attack, thats good with quick players, espec with quick tempo, as it means your making a quick attack at goal.

where as short passes are passing slowly around till a gap is open, thats good with a creative midfield with a decent striker with good finishing, speed not necessary.


Short passing = Good finishers
Direct = Quick Foward

aaam I'm in need of DM. Makelele is planning to retire so I'm out of DM's and I have only 6 millions any suggestions what to buy?

sissoko .. if u can get him

he's very young and very quick

but im not sure if 6mill would cover it

try scouting south america.. you're bound to find someone good and cheap

chelsea approached me and offered 75 million transfer budget and 3.25 million wage budget.... should I quit Fiorentina for that?

Nah, no fun.

I made a save with fiorentina and transfered to chelsea and made another save with chelsea, so I can reload my fiorentina times whenever I want As I moved to Chelsea I will be spotted by clubs like Real, Barca, Manutd, ACM so I think I will stay at Chelsea only 4 a year
