This option only available to the player in your team Player importance to the club This player is indispensable to the squad This means that the player is the best player in the team, and without him your team will not be playing like it should be. A good example is where you tried to sign a famous/star player in a team of mediocre player. This player is an important first team player A key member in the squad. Usually they would earn regular places in the first XI. However their importance to the team is not a great as "indispensable" player.

This Player is a backup to the first team This means that the player hardly play any game for the first team, and might spending the whole seaon lingering in a few reserves game here and there, or sitting on the bench when you have injuries within your first team.

Once you do this, you must wait for both of the club and player to agree with the loan ________________ /Approach to sign\ ================== This option is available if that player is out of contract, unprotected contract, or avilable on bosman rule. Basically, it's the same as "Offer New Contract" _______________ /Release on free\ ================= Choosing this option will release the player on free transfer. The club must compensate the player with his remaining wages. _________________ /Discipline Player\ =================== By choosing this option, this will allow you to fine your player or gives hime official warning for the following reason. - Unprofessional Behaviors this is the option you should choose if your player missed training - Dismissal in Prior match Choose this if your player is given a red card in the match before - Violent behavior uses this if your player get violent on the playing field - Poor Performance Choose this option if your player play poorly, remember that lower rating doesn't mean that the player play badly, to determine wether the player playing badly or not look at the other team mates rating.

The main difference between the two is quite simple. Whereas Forward could be used effectively for Midfield position, Striker is better off as a striker solely. 4-4-2 SC SC ML MC MC MR DL DC DC DR GK 4-4-2 is probably the most common formation in real life. It have two striker, with four midfielder and 4 defender. This formation is quite balanced in terms of defence and attack. 4-4-2 Attacking SC SC ^ ^ ^ ^ ML MC MC MR DL DC DC DR GK This formation almost similar with 4-4-2, with exception of both Midfielder in the flank makes a forward runs, and cross the ball to the striker. 4-4-2 Defensive SC SC ML MR DMC DMC DL DC DC DR GK Another popular modification of 4-4-2. The 2 Central Midfield was moved back as a Defensive Midfielder to back up the defense. This is quite a defensive formation. 4-2-4 SC SC AMl AMR MC MC DL DC DC DR GK This formation, was first used by the Hungarian team of the early 1950's who went unbeaten for two years until it lost at the World Cup final in 1954 (3-2 to West Germany). this is an attacking formation, with the fullback could be pushed forward to revert the formation into 2-4-4. 4-3-3 SC SC SC <-- MC MC MC--> DL DC DC DR GK A formation using 3 striker. Another attacking formation, even though it will mean one man less in the midfield. The default 4-3-3 in the game came with two of the midfielder running to the left and right flank respectively(as indicated by the arrow above) Sweeper SC SC MC MC MC DML DMR DC DC SW GK A formation first used alongside with the "cattenaccio" system. In this formation, an additional man called sweeper is put behind the two central defender. The sweeper can move freely from left to right to clear the ball away from the team's area. _____________________ / Recommended Tactics \ ----------------------- Please note that all the formation below are not mine. WWW2 SC AMC | | | MC MC MC | DML DMC DMR DC DC GK Overall, this tactic almost looks the same with Sweeper tactics, iwth the exception that there is no sweeper and instead a Defensive Midfielder in its place. While Two centre midfielder, and both wing-backs at the flank pushing forward. No matter how useful each tactic is, overtime, the computer AI(Artificial Intelligence) will crack your tactic. When this happened, I recommend that you change the tactics. Some common sign that the AI has cracked your tactic, is that all the player in your team perform poorly, you have numerous chances, and the computer only had a handful, but you stoill lost anyway. The good side though, the computer's AI could only crack one tactics at a time, so keep a few tactics and rotate them when they are cracked.

Player that have EU second nationality do not need any work permit Requirement -In EPL, at least you need that player to play in 70% of the national team in the last two years. Or in the game, it is more likely that a player with 10+ international caps to be granted Work Permit.

(Including cup matches, but not friendly). If you fail to do this, that player will not be granted work permit anymore, and you'll end up with a player that you can't even play.(except during friendly. -You could only have 3 non-EU player in your team in particular games for England. However, there are no limitations of non-EU player you can have in your whole team. NOTE: If anyone knew the requirement of work permit for each leauge, please e-mail me. ======================= 13. Bosman Rule ======================= History Jean-Marc Bosman was an above average Belgian footballer who sought to join Dunkerque at the end of his contract, but found his club RFC Liege were intent on making that impossible by cutting his wages and demanding a prohibitively high transfer fee. Bosman took his case to the European High Court where it was held that existing transfer rules were in breach of EU law on the free movement of workers between member states of the EU. A perfect example, would be Steve Mcmanaman transfer from Liverpool to Real Madrid How the Bosman Rule Works When a player contract is expiring in a period of six-month time, a club may tried to offer that player a contract without the permission of the player club. If the contract is accepted, the player will join your club once his contract expired, for free. ======================= 14.

F. After the initial period of protection has passed, a player with unprotected contract are allowed to move club if he wishes without the club able to stop him from doing so. However, player with unprotected contract are only allowed to move during a period called " transfer window" G. If the player is young, the club will receive compensation from whichever club sign their player. ======================= 15.Hints and tips ======================= International Manager To be an international manager, click on player nationality while choosing club to manage and choose "take control" option. Get more goals Put your striker to mark the opponent goalkeeper, that striker will score more goals than the Usual. This may not work all the time Sell player more easily First put down the value of the player a little before transfer listing him, and after a few club interested, put the value back to normal. Free transfer To free transfer every player wtithout the board blocking, Free transfer that player and immediately resigned from your job. Free player at the beggining of the game You can get Josep Guardiola and Taribo West on free transfer at the beggining of the game. Both are quite a good player, and will be helpful to your squad.
