Hint:
-----
Submitted by: Dare Devil

Make a new user of the team you are about to play as in the match.
Select quick tactics.
For your opponent's team, set every one of their players in attack,
then put an arrow from the goalkeeper to the striker.
If done correctly, you should win 10 - 1.


Recommended team:
-----------------
Search for a team called Poli 21. They have lots of excellent
players who are very cheap, and they score quite a few goals.
Also, try the following players.

Kevin Doyle (Reading)
Robbie Keane (Tottenham)
Kasper Schemichael (Man City)
Elano (Man City)


Try the following Hibernian squad:
----------------------------------
Steven Fletcher (quality striker scored 35 goals in 45 games)
Fillip Morais (amazing attacking right, left, or center)
Alan O'brien (good winger left)
Lewis Stevenson (good left back or left center midfield)
Merouanne Zemamma (great midfielder)
David Murphy (quality left back)
Chris Hogg (good center half)


Easy wins:
----------
Create a custom player and add them to your opponents team.
Select "Quick Tactics". Set all of your opponent's players to
attack. Place an arrow from the goalkeeper to the striker.
You should win easily.

GAbriel Torje(17) - Poli Timisoara
NIcolas Millan(14) - Colo colo
Tomassi Vailatti(21)- Livorno
Florin Costea(16) - ''U,, Craiova


Mint young players:
-------------------
David amoo (liverpool)
Daniel sturridge (man city)
Febian brandy (man utd)
Goran slavkovski (inter)
Bojan (barca)
Sergio aguero-expensive but worth it (at madrid)
Jonathan/giovanni dos santos (barca)
Damien plessis (liverpool)


Great players for low league teams:
----------------------------------
when starting a new season as a BSP league team
you can get great players good enough to play in league one.all you
have to do is go to player search, customise the search putting the age
at. at most 28 then select nationality then choose france the you will
find people at between 22 to 28 who play for french lower league teams
and you can sign them for free without compensation.
when offering contract offer 100 pounds more than they ask so you can beat
competition from other clubs.
When choosing leagues you have to choose only the first french league not
lower.


Hint:

Submitted by: raja365

If you're playing with some unkown-lower league team. set this tactic:mentality-attacking
closing down-often
passing-short
Everything else mixed
Before this buy some quality players who would join your team(exp.Josko Bilic,Itallo...)


Hint:

Submitted by: lcarter

Diego Buonanotte (needs time but gets very good)
Rodrigo Fabri (old ish but gets lots of goles)
Rui Fonte (young but good)


Changing Formation:
-------------------
This works really well on the game day. If you go into the game with a formation
and you set your team talk, if you then change your formation before you kick-off
then it confuses the opposition and you automatically get the upper hand on them.


Easy Money:
-----------
To get easy money without starting a new game all you need to do is download the FMModifier
2.21 then search your team, change thier money, and press save and then you have heaps of
money.

Real Names and German National Team:

To get real players into the German national team and to get real club
names for those clubs that have fake ones go to
C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2008\data\db\800\lnc

it somewhere just incase though. Now when you start a new game you will
have real players and real club names.


Easy goals from corners:
------------------------
This cheat is really simple! All you have to do is have some1 with the highest
corner attribute take the corners. then you on team instruction put the corners

headers in your team then go on player instruction of the 2 players then for
corners put challenge GK.

Keeping Possession:
-------------------
To play possession football, often hard from a players perspective, it is a simple
matter of tweaking your tactics.
Play a short passing game with a slower tempo and watch as your players consistently
hit the target with their passes.
To add variety you can change the mentality from defensive to attacking. Defensive
possession football will see your defenders playing with the ball alot and making
occasional forays forward into space. Attacking possession football is much like
Arsenals style of football with a consistent flow forward.
As your team gets more accustomed to possession football you can increase the tempo
and watch as your team swiftly and accurately carve up the opposition.


Avoiding Work Permit Troubles:
------------------------------
There are three ways to get around the annoying inconveniences that are Work Permits.
They are:

1. Your club can have a feeder club from a European country that doesn't use the work
permit rule, you can send the player out on loan to the club and they will gain
citizenship after a certain amount of years.
The shortest time to gain citizenship in a country is 3 years, in Belgium and Poland.
Pretty much all the other countries take 5 years, except for Spain, which takes 4 years.
2. You can leave the player in your reserves until he gains citizenship (which will take
5 years).
3. A sneaky way of getting past the work permit problem is to offer the player another
contract, as soon as they join you. About 60% of the time the player will be granted a
work permit, even though they had only just been denied one. Sly, huh?
Failing all that. Try and find foreign players who have a European nation as a second
nationality. These players do not require work permits!


Finding Great Regens:
---------------------
To maintain a high standard of quality players in your team as the years progress during
the game it is necessary to scout and develop your own youth talent into the next
generation of superstars.
To find regens (game spawned players to replace retired players) you must learn to scout
effective and efficiently. First you must sign to your club some scouts with at least a
17 rating in Judging Potential Ability and Judging Current Ability. Examples of such
scouts are Wolfgang Dremmler and David Hamilton.
Once you have some good scouts go to the scout screen and assign your scouts to the various
youth competitions (eg Under 20 World Cup and Under 18's Leagues) with maximum age set to
under 20.
Now wait and watch as your scouts scour the globe for the best new talent. Once they bring
back some player reports choose what players you think youll need or want in the future and
snap them up while they are young.


LLM Money Making:
-----------------
In the Pre Season as smaller teams of any division you will always find you need to make
some money to set yourself up for playing wages/making transfers/expanding stadium etc.
The best way to get money in these situations is to organise high profile friendlies in
the pres season. By organising friendly leagues/cups/one off matches you can make anywhere
from 100k to 10mil pounds each pre season.

Sugar Daddy:
------------
With this cheat, the clubs chairmen will now be a Sugar Daddy, and will continuelsy pump
money into the clubs transfer budget. If you got to Editor, and click Clubs, you then should
click your selected club. Then in the top left hand bar you want to click fiances and you
will see a unticked button which is Sugar Daddy. If you are to click this then save, then
load up that database and choose that team you clicked Sugar Daddy on. Your first transfer
budget will be doubled, and every month you will make profits of 5ish million and will soon
be unstopable.

when you install FM 2008 on ure PC, go onto start and programs, then find ure FM 2008 and
there shud b a data editor there too. you can edit clubs and create players so u can customise
ure favourite teams to be the best with the most money and best players. but if u create a team,
when u choose leagues that u can manage in at the beginnin of a new game, u will not be able
to manage in the country u put the new team in!


Hint:

Submitted by: pardonmyfrench

I know how to solve the problem that u can't choose the country u put a self-manufactured team in.
Here's the tip: When ur done creating, instead of placing ur creation in the league, u swap it
with an existing one. In that way it won't, pardon my French,f#@k itself up. The Editor is a
really handy tool. I put Solberg from Third Division in Norway, to the Tippeliga by swapping
it with Rosenborg. Nice, huh?;)


Good Striker:
-------------
To get a good striker as man utd loan out FRAZIER CAMPBELL to WALSALL for a season or 2 when
i did this he was scoring in every game and gettin player of the month frequently aswell. when
he comes back he should be a good player to keep hold of. message me with what you think about
this tip thanks.


Championship Tactic:
--------------------
Submitted by: Cheatsbook
Here is a good tactic for Hull City, i was 24th in the Championship and with this tactic
i got 8th in my first season.

-------Fc-------
-------Amc-------
-Lm---Cm---Cm--Rm
-Lb---Cb---Cb--Rb
--------Gk-------

-Have the Am with arrows going to Dmc.
-Have the 2 cm going to the Amc.
-Have the Side mids going up like the Cm's.

Attacking Instructions:
-Play Attacking
-Have Lots Of Freedom
-Have Short Passing
-Time Waste Often

Just do what it says there it dosent matter how attacking you need to go.
Hope this Helps people who are struggling in the Championship.


Fan Days:
---------
Although you do not choose when you get a fan day it can benifit you a lot.
What it is used for is smaller club who want to expand their support. They will let people
come in and watch a game of football for free therefore hoping they will enjoy it and pay to
come back and see the team again. Make sure you put up a good performance and an entertaining
match or they will not want to come back and it would end up being a waste of time.


Hint:

Submitted by: izzat cardiac

Get new quality youth players out of nowhere!!(depending your current squad status)
organize a friendly match with your reserves.
move most of your players to reserve.just left behind some of your top quality
players(make them below 11).
and let your assistant play the match.after the match you will find some quality
youth players out of nowhere playing for your team. the best thing is that you can
offer them a contract..cool eh?


Fix National Teams:
-------------------
Due to licensing some National Teams don't have proper players (Germany for example) To get rid
of this go to "C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2008/data/db/800/lnc/all"
once there copy the file entitled "fake.lnc" (You may wish to put it in a safe place as backup
if needed) then delete the file "fake.lnc" and when you start a new game the countries effected
will have the proper squad. All this file does it put a "mask" on the national teams effected
and once you remove it will get rid of the mask.


Money Earner:
-------------
A nice way to earn some money for your very poor lower league club.
Arrange fixtures for the reserve and youth teams against other high profile reserve and youth
teams. For some reason a friendly against Barcelona B brings in the same amount of money as a
friendly against Barcelona A would and if you use your Reserve team the opposition will not
request a feee for their participation.
This was especially useful in the Blue Square South with Bognor Regis. Neither the reserves
nor the youth teams played in a league and were therefore free to play friendlies all season.
I tried to organise friendly leagues as these bring in the most money and always invited the
reserve or youth teams of the clubs that appeared on the 'major clubs' pages. Within a season
I had a bank balance of £4'000'000 and started the next season with a transfer budget of
£1.2 million.


Best Formation:
---------------
I found with liverpool the best formation is 2-1-4-3 with renia in goal, caragher and terry
in defence, fabregas in mid, ronaldo left flank and messi right, gerrard and ribery in centre
and then torres, villa and babel up front. so it looks like this

---------------Renia-----------------
-----------Terry-----Caragher--------
-----------------Fabregas------------
Ronaldo--------Gerrard---Ribery----Messi--
------------Babel--Torres--Villa

to sign these players just edit it on editor because some are hard to sign but any player who
specialises in the positions is good. Just as long as the team plays attacking football, and
is strong so put empahisis on weight training.


brilliant Young players i havnt heard mentiond alot, some wonderkids, some unstopable kids:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submitted by: Gordon

1. Hugo Lloris (goalkeeper) best keep in the game after 2 seasons

6. Harry Forrester (whu u18's) touted as the next wayne rooney
7. Lee Catermole, midfield general, dominates almost evry game
8. Remy Riou goalkeeper brilliant prospect, flourishes under iker cassilas tuition.

Recommened Player:
------------------
One player that is definately worth signing is Marcelo of Real Madrid.
Has get out clause set at £5.5million and is worth every penny.
I am in my 3rd season with liverpool and he is averaging 8.08 and is worth £18million.

Submitted by: crayz E tom

If u use the editor and choose a team to edit, u obviously wnt sum gud playas. if u go on
this website and find them u may think u have all the best playas, but some time u dont!
when you get the playa, look at his future potential, if its really near to 200 then they
are good. but you can get playas that are in the minus's, if you get a playa that is -10
they can be really really good, but only if they have a high current potential.


FREE player purchasing:
-----------------------
If you want easy player transfers, just Add a New User and be the manager of the club you
want to obtain the player from. Step 2 is to put the player on transfer, keeping in mind
to change it after you accept your original team's bid, otherwise your screen will be
filled with bids from other clubs. All you have to do then, is make a 0 pound bid of the
player and accept it on the other side. Next comes the task of the player's agreement,
you have to be a little patient in this case and really do everything to tick the player
off, like setting him to "Unwanted By the Club," or chucking him into the reserves squad,
or making his team lose by giving awful team talk. It doesn't take too long before the
player will be begging on his knees to be transferred. I got Kaka, Silva, Rooney, Tevez,
Ronaldhino, Deco, Cole, Ferdinand, and the list goes on, ALL playing in my Liverpool team.

here a few players u can buy for league 1 teams:
aaron mclean (40 goals in 50 games)
loan toni kroos great goalscorer and assister
figueroa (36 goals in 45 games)


Easy non editor money and get rid of player:
--------------------------------------------
You first get your club and find a player you want to get rid of (I use useless youth
players for this). then you make a new manager and have him as a manager of a rich club
(e.g. UK big 4, Madrid, Barcelona, look on the rich clubs list), you set your transfer
budget as the highest possible, transfer wages to transfer cash, and buy your naff player
for all of your transfer bill. Then offer the player the best contract possible and they
will sign and your club will be richer, then resign and repeat with another team.

For those who wanna play a long game (10-20 years) at the same club. 1st of all,
some players you might be interested other than fabregas, kaka and others how are tought
targets.

-martial yao-asec
-jose san roman- river
-villaluz
-bruno formigoni
-rafael foster
-sergio mota
-toto tamuz, dor malul(israel)
-maximiliano morales
-anton sosnin-zenith
-mika aaritalo, patrick lomski(finland)
-toure-rosenborg
-a young 17 yrs old from leceiter wich i can't remember his name right now
-torje(poli timisoara)
-pulhac(sometimes it becomes one of the greatest dl in world)
-Anton putilo(putsilo), actually the name is "putsila"
-cristian nazarith, yessu cabrera, cesar lindado- colombia
-jhon fleck-rangers
-eros corradini(he grows slow but sometimes becomes world-class)
-vantagiatto-rimini(he doesn't wanna leave until winter tranfer window but he's a great player)
-sotiris ninis(not a great profile but actually plays like messi in real life)
-search also for youngsters in france and spain(a lot of hot prospects)

Also!!
Regens apear in the games almost every month(especially june, july, august, december and january)
You actually can see all that players if you serch "backspace" in the "search box" up right. The
newest regens are at the bottom always right before the countries.
It takes time to see all ( especially because a lot of regens are from Haiti, bermuda, etc) but
is worth it. Than, if you like a player profile scout it (is better if your scout has at least
15 on JPP). Usually the player is rated by a star but has a potencial of 5 or more!(WORLD-CLASS)
(NOTE: If you manage a small team try to sign only from good above) the decent ones are often
crappy.

-You save a lot of time if you only search for: brazilians, spanish, england, france, holland,
italy, argentina and germany.
But sometimes i've founded really good players even from "sao-tome&principe" so....
GOOD LUCK YOU ALL AND HAVE FUN!



2 tactics that really work!:
----------------------------
Submitted by: Bart Arends

If you play against a stronger team then play like this:

----------GK----------
-LB -- CD----CD----RB-
-|------------------|-
-|--------DM--------|-
----------------------
------CM--CM--CM------
-------|---|---|------
-------|---|---|------
----------------------
-------ST---ST--------

Or when you want to be the more attacking team (when you are the favorite)

----------GK----------
-LB -- CD----CD----RB-
-|------------------|-
-|------------------|-
----------------------
------CM--CM--CM------
----------------------
----------AM----------
----------------------
-------ST---ST--------

But place a defensive midfielder at the place of the center one of the center midfielders (CM).

Always play with an attacking mindset.
With most teams you will score the most goals of the whole league.
Good luck!

Easy Money:
-----------
Submitted by: Daehmonyak

Create a new user (in preference, pick up a rich team like Barcelona, Chelsea, etc), then
with this user you can buy your own players. Just make sure you always offer a value lower
than the player's termination fine (otherwise you won't have your offer acceptable - it
will indicate "team X accepted the offer" but no negotiation will follow). Usually, your
team's president will manage the negotiation (if not, accept it manually).

Buy cheaper players:
--------------------
Same deal: create a new user - this time, pick up the team who owns the player you want.
With your own user, offer $0 (or more - really, who would?) for the player, and accept
with the other user. Notice that some players may not be interested in playing for your
team (honest, I've tried to contract Adriano for my ADAP Galo Maring - a small, almost
unknown brazilian team - offering R$700.000 per week, and he refused).

Sergio Ramos


Player to buy:

Submitted by: doddski

People say sergio aguero is the best player on the game...not a chance. Look for a player
called Pandev. WORLD CLASS PLAYER scored 54 goals in one season for my newcastle team in
the first season and 58 in the second. Costs abit of money but worth it. Aguero in my reserves.
