Any tips STE?

All the teams I've played agaijnst have played 4-4-2 or switched to 4-2-4 if I'm a couple of goals up



You can score lots of goals from corners if you have a DC with good heading/jumping.
Aim your corners to 6 yard box, and tell your DC with good heading to challenge keeper. My Leeds DC scored 20 goals in one season doing this!



Cheers STE, I'll have a tinker tonight.

I've heard this tactic, so I'll give it a try

For the recored, the XBox version is the same as PC version, patch 8.01 or something like that

Not too bad, you have about £1m to spend and a loan to pay till 2009 I think which isn't that much per month. Not bad for league one team.

Joypad, it's a bit fiddly but getting used to it

I think you can buy mouse & keyboard attachments
