Hints
Easy money
Set the value of all your players on the left half
of the squad screen as £99.999 million, and five of those
on the right as the same. Then, set the sixth as about £45
to 50 million and go to "Finances". You should be able
to take out a loan at about negative £640 million. Do this
and immediately repay the loan. You should end up with about £95
million to spend. This can be repeated as often as desired, but
very rarely your money will reset to zero and you will have to
do it again.
Player placement
The game has a problem with full-backs and central
midfielders -- it makes them play awful. To get round this, play
your full-backs further wide than they start, cancel their passes
to the wingers, and give them forward runs and early crossing
instructions. Play a 4-5-1 formation with one central midfielder
just in front of the back 4, and two just behind the striker (level
with the wingers). Play one with high vision (70+) on the left
and one with high shooting (80+) on the right.
Good players
A player that must be purchased no matter who you are
is Barcelona's Javier Saviola. With a sell-on clause, you can
get his value down to about £1.5 million. Play him on the
left wing (although he is a striker). Look for a player in any
position with good pace and power stats (the only important stats
for a winger) and play him on the right wing. The quality of crossing
will not always be great but they will get past their men easily,
and Saviola will not run the ball out very often down the left
(unlike most wingers).
Upfront, there are a number of quality players available. There
are the obvious ones: Batistuta, Trezeguet, Owen, Ronaldo, etc,
but watch for pace, power, control and agility in your forwards
(shooting does not really matter). A good cheap player with potential
if you start a default game is 16 year old Paraguayan F. Torres.
He should have 92 on pace and about 50 on shooting. You can get
him (without sell-on) for about £140 thousand. Also, if you
can afford it, buy Pascal Zuberhuler (Leverkusen) as your goalie.
A good player for not much money is Sammy Baumgart of Wolfsburg.
Cheap players
Select any team, then go to the European teams. Put
them into countries. Go to the Russian teams (for example, Vogorad).
Once you are in the team, go to any player. Buy one and you will
get him for a lot cheaper. For example, a player worth £1.1
million will come down to about £170 thousand.
