    Default what are good players to get in new game?

    Can anyone recomend some great players at knockoff prices in this game and at what part of the season they become available. I am playing celtic in first season and have english prem and 1st div running plus sweden,holand playing to. At present I am playing in first season and it is now february.

    I need a quality goalkeeper and some outstanding defenders as I cant get my defence working at all. playing a 3-4-3 formation and have just lost my coach so need new one of them to. The hammers knicked mine so I added new manager and knicked their 2 star players for next to nothing lol that will teach em.

    TIA

    It is easier to find class bargain bucket buys if you loads the large DB. Just search for unprotected contract and you will find about 10 class under 18's who in some cases can play 1st team....

    As for cheap buys... you are better struggling in the 1st season and then wait for the bosmans come Dec 31st/1st Jan. You have to have kept a % of your cash or you will be stiffed next season when the board think you have been to 'extravagent' with your spending and give you a whopping £650k to attach the Champions League!

    Check the new patch.... it is hard to get players to fit in straight away. I got Boumsong on a free and it took him 3 months to learn basic english (thick twat) and as soon as he did his stats changed from 4-5 to 7-8 and the ratings of the other defenders also went up....

    I have also noticed that moral plays a big part in the way they play also... as for coaches make sure you find the ones with the best stats as their rep will improve pretty quick if you are wining things. I have had my assistant swiped at the end of each season to manage another club... so now i always have to assistant managers..

    It's a stupid f@cking game, previous version's were much better.

    I started as Leeds (obviously - loyallty count's), the whole team performed really well with stat's for each player being between 7-10. During ths time I beat Man.U, Fulham, Newcastle and Liverpool. Then along come Aston Villa\West Brom and Middlesbrough from which I got 0 point's...add to that Smith\Viduka\Bridges\Milner\Batty and Robinson all picking up injuries laying them out for at least 2 month's!!!

    I can't buy anyone and nobody will leave!! Even the old trick of fineing them every week doesn't help!

    I'll stick to PES3 and WE7 on PS2. :thumbs

    The board told me to reduce the enormous wage bill. I tried to flog Wilcox, Barmby, Burns, Duberry and co but to no avail. I could only sell the talented player's but what will that achieve?!?!?!?!?!

    I couldn't even a loan player who was available on loan and spoke English!!!

    I took over at Walsall, not seeming to do anygood im afraid. Money is very tight and i the players i have aint even good enough for the conference never alone Division one.

    :grr:

    My mate as got Kevin Hofland and Kenny Baricloui ( cant spell the chaps second name) they seem both good buys :nowords:

    Also, the young Brazilian "Maxwell" from Ajax..he is a consistant performer. I signed Christian Worns for £2.2m, he was mentioned as being a good influence by at least 4 quad players.

    Dawson won't sign for me, tried a few times. I usually send a scout to France and pick up some bargains.

    Oskarsson
    Todorov
    Braathen
    Rungratsmee
    William Thompson
    Adu


    Anyone else tried them? I need to mount a serious challenge for Europe as I keep hovering from 6th to 9th and getting 1-1 draws far too often. Th transfer window is also about to close... :coffee:

    I sorted the training aspect out, all players barring 4 of whom are 5hit and won't leave have green arrows following training. Just need to start hitting the back of the net more!!

    Yeah same with me, i play a 4-4-2 formation, i then changed it too a 5 man midfield but i still seem to lose by loads. I been looking for bargain buys but finding them very hard to come by at the mo :-(, i might change my team and see if its just be and my shite managerial skills or it is actually walsall FC LOL.

    It has to be both.. you can have shit tactics but great players and still nick the win and visa-versa.... I play 4-4-2 but with few tweaks here and there.... seems to work fine.... top 3 4 years on the trot and champ league winners twice... with SPURS!?

    You got to keep tab's on expiring contract's of quality players though, I am snap[ping up bargain's at present for nothing.

    The key is the 1st season... do well enough to keep your job and the bosman signing will do the rest for you for FREE!!!!

    I still find that I have to tweak my training all the time as the players seem to loose interest and the arrows turn red!?!?
