Yep, done Sweden/Norway/Denmark and Finland. Don't go with the dominant team in that country though, spread it around a little - take someone from the middle of the table instead.

Does the 1-3-6 "cheat" formation still work in this version? :wink:

I always tend to go with a straight 4-4-2 and just look for players to make it work - one holding midfielder, one better suited to going forward, two wingers, a target man and a quicker forward to play up with him.

GK - Renan

RB - Miguel
CB - Albiol
CB - Thiago Silva/Alexis
LB - Del Horno (atm)

DM - Veloso
CM - Toulalan

AML - Juan Mata
AMR - Joaquin
AMC - Silva

ST - Villa

I'm dying for new full backs and a right winger, though.

What was that then?

I'm usually playing with a 4-2-2-2 formation, or 4-1-3-2 if I have a decent AMC in my side.

Purchased the game last week........

After reading / hearing about people not able to install or having problems, I kinda eas expecting to encounter problems. Had million and one attempts at installing FM08 on my new laptop, wouldnt have any of it, thanks SADDENED for all your help I admitted defeat in the end :lol:

The FM09 installed no problems at all :D

I have not played a game with the 3D engine thing yet as it dosnt really bother me, and thats obviously one thing that will make majority of peoples laptops / pc's run slow.

Started season with Leeds, only have £100k availiable to spend, not doing too badly thus far. Cant see the board standing by me though, Im currently 2nd which dosnt appear to be good enough :shock:

Only signed couple of players (2 from Swedish league / 1 from Ireland) Im finding it quite realistic.
Beckford scores few goals but his actual rating is 6.10.
Becchio dosnt score as many but rating is 7.15.
Delph & Howson are class.
Prutton is bit hit & miss.
Robinson has bout on good game outta five.

Im playing

4 4 2 diamond

4 flat defenders
1 defensive midfielder
2 wing / outta midfielders
1 attacking midfielder
2 strikers

Maybe Leeds isnt the best team to start off with, but I dont see the point in going to Arsenal / Man U / Chelsea or other top clubs. Im not finding it too different to FM08, fully intend to start looking into training methods & sorting out scouting trips soon.

Anyone else started non premiership ?

It runs fine on computers that meet the minimum specs :wink:

......Except that Keane is woeful. I've signed Keirrison and the fans think it is an "aberration". Thick scouse tw*ts. :wink:

Got mine working now after the new patch. Bit silly how they treat a operating system that only got changed less than 18 months ago as 'unsupported'. Yet Xp is 7 years old. Yet i digress.

Mid September now and having a slow start but still better than the real team. Signed Diarra but couldn't sign Marcelo yet could no problem in Demo (along with everyone else).

Playing 4-4-2 with:

Foster
Srna rb
Evra lb
Vidic
Ferdinand
Ronaldo rw
Buonanottw lw
Anderson
Carrick
Berbatov
Rooney
