Championship Manager ?s

Using 4-4-2 can suck gigantic elephant balls if you dont alter the with/without ball screens. More specifically, off the ball in my penalty area and on the ball in their penalty area, of course midfield etc too.

I sometimes use a 2-3(wingbacks)-2-2-1 with a strong and fast foward and offside trap, when i dont want to get too involded in messing with tactics for each game, or if im testing something with an easy team.

Have a look and see if you like it!

Hey Pavlov, Im a fellow Hattrick player! My team was in a level 5 league, but i just got relegated and am now playing in one of the worst leagues there is with a team of no hopers. I think i better get back to playing champ as I seem to be much more succesfull at that! My team in hattrick is called Northam Lions if there are any fellow hattrick players out there who want a friendly or something.

I signed up for hattrick a while ago but it doesnt look like i got a team yet. It said 4 or 5 days but maybe my registration messed up or something I guess ill try and register again, to keep me going until cm4 anyways.

Really? Well you hang in there. I'll check out your team and I'll challenge you some time.

That's odd. I suppose it could happen if you're a bit unlucky. Oh well, if at first you don't succed...

I took a little look at your team, frosty, and I think it's better than you say. You have some good defenders and it doesn't look hopeless. Since you're playing 3-4-3 I suppose you're training forwards?

Anyway, off the top of my head, I'd say that you should get two new midfielders to boost your midfield score a bit. Kirk and Alex seem too weak. Perhaps considering playing one of those wingers towards the middle.

Good luck

Thanks Pavlov but as id love to have to new midfielders, i kinda have no money(due to spending on improving stadium) Im close to being in debt! But i am investing heavilly in the youth team and i think ill get some good players from that soon. I just promoted my first player from the youth team and he instantly was good enough to play in my first team. Im still hopefull of being succesfull though, as when your playing in the league i am, the only way is up! And I play 3-4-3 because i love attacking football and no matter what results i get, that will never change! Whats the name of your team Pavlov, as id like to check it out.

[Pavlov]

My team is FC Toker in Sweden. Hoping to win the V this year. I have, much like you, a team specialized in attack but I'm slowly building up a good youth team.

I wondered where your money had gone. The youth team is a good investment, you should be able to sell off some good juniors. good

I've had the 24th marked in my diary for a few weeks now!

I can't wait!

[FrustratedPoet]

Just ordered my copy of the mag.

£5.50 - A bit pricey, but what can I say? I'm a CM addict.

damned, does this game have to come out now!!
Two time absorbing must haves at the same time, the other being PTW offcourse

[The Rusty Gamer]

Have any of you guys looked at Total CLub Manager? What do you think of it in terms of fun value?

[Maquiladora]

I never played it myself, looking at the screenshots it looks like they just ripped off CM. Seems like EA gave up on competing in terms of depth long ago and went for the old 3D engine and the blue transparent interface again. Dont fall into the trap buy CM
