'Justdomes' guide of being successfull Manager Part 1.

[Aaron Ramsey Tiong]

I'm not so sure about the part about righties for right FKs and corners, and lefties for the other side. Robin van Persie is taking right corners for United, and Rooney on the left, they are inswinging corners which worked quite well against QPR.

If a freekick is slightly towards the left side of the field, it is a very good angle for a right footed player to take a shot, and a good cross can be made from that angle with either foot, again the only difference whether the cross is inswinging or outswinging.

Also, the guide would mean that a double-footed player with high crossing/shooting skill would be very desirable, right?

Usually I don't care about the preferred foot of the player, but I'd rather not buy a right sided player with left foot preference, for example, DR/DMR with left foot preference.

Also, penalty takers, do you look at shooting or finishing? I've been going with finishing, that's how players are automatically arranged on FIFA as well

All true in the real world, not sure realism applies to T11.

I never buy wide players who use their inside leg to kick, and try to buy central players with both.

[Aaron Ramsey Tiong]

With realism, you'd see Ronaldo, Neymar, Hulk cutting in front the left wing to take a shot at goal.

I'll continue going purely by their stats; crossing, shooting, etc.

Well, regarding the so called 'illegal formations'. I've been using a 4-3-3-A formation with no wing players and it works brilliantly. Two midfielders are AMR and AML, three are MC; three defenders, DL, DR and one DC and of course two strikers up front; hard attacking mentality and zonal defending, with of course no counter attacks. I'm having dominant ball possession with over 65 each match, 65 being the minimum when I face heavily defensive formations; the rival teams for these first five league matches didnt manage to net in even one goal against me. I don't know wether this also depends on the manager level because I'm still at level one.

I do have two pretty good, 4 star quality wingers, one for the right and one for the left, but I rather concentrate myself with a playermaker and dribbler specialist in the MC line and I've got another SS in the AMC line. Zonal defending makes up for the lack of wingers.

teşekkürler, çok öğretici.

[Matías Salgado]

one question:
who's the best league on this game (level league)?

[technotronic]

Admins! Make it sticky!

[LilywhitesFC]

Thanks for the information, this has been really helpful as a newcomer. Am I mistaken or are Sections 5.2 & 6 missing? I was just curious about Facilities management.

Cheers!

All well in the real world, but is this game really that adaptable.
I've not heard a game comment yet where a winger cuts inside and skins the defence to score, it's usually a shot from 25-30mtrs.
Maybe we are both looking at the wrong stats.

Needs to be at the top so all the new comers sees it. bump!
