Im playing as Newcastle and my squad looks like this:

Van Der Gouw

Ernst Woodgate Mjalby Colonello

Dazibas

Dyer Maric Speed

Shearer Hartson

I have some occasional injuries, so Blomqvist and Ekakia are on right now.

BUT I am having a problem w/ "super-keeper"! I can't put anything by him. Last week I played Huddesfield and and John Karelse had millions of saves.

Kasey Keller even saved a Shearer penalty!!

Please Neutral or anyone, tell me how you win your titles!! After 5 games I was second in the EPL, but now I have dropped to 6th and haven't scored in 4 games!!

Last season I finished 4th and the year b4 that 7th. I want to win but can't perform.

Help!! :-(

Haven't scored in 4 games - don't panic! - it happens in real life and it happens in the game! But how has your goal-scoring record been otherwise, were u banging them in with ease before the 'slump' or was it tough always? And also, even though you're not scoring - are you playing well - are you getting most of the possession and getting a lot of shots on net? If so (you're playing well), then just stick with it for a few more games - juggle the line-up, bench Shearer for a game or two if he's playing bad(don't even put him as a sub) and send him a message - trust me it works (but don't put him in the reserves or he might get upset).

If you haven't been playing well, you might have to look at some new goalscoring talent -or if your team hasn't been playing well all round some general 'attacking talent'.

You're in your third season I presume, (mental calc here), so that's 2002-2003 season right? Shearer should be getting old now, and Hartson (!) isn't that great. Keep Maric though, he's much better in the game than he is in real life http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

I'm at 2007-2008 (I think, maybe a year later I'm not sure now), and here's my Celtic squad:

GK - Richard Wright/Kenny Arthur (I rotate them)
DL - Daniel Higginbotham/Carl Laurie
DC - Miguel Lopez/Izzy Irekpen
DC - Barry Murray/Peter Flood
DR - Jean-Alain Boumsong/Michael Duff/Alan Navarro
MR - Simon Davies/Michael Duff
MC - Joe Cole http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif
MC - Kim Kallstrom (brilliant too)/Jonas Forsberg
ML - Martin Lauchlan/John Archibald
FC - David Collins (brilliant)
FC - Tonton Moukoko (a goalscorer and a playmaker)/Andri Siggporsson (pure sniper)

With this team I've won the SPL 3 years in a row since arriving from Rushden, and last year I repeated Jock Stein's quadruple, of the FA cup, league, league cup, and European cup http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif (Although, the Eurocup was a fluke, in the final Juve outshot me like crazy but Wright got a 10 in net, and Collins scored twice.)

Unfortunately, things aren't going that well this season - I got unceremoniously dumped out of the World Club Championship - "Manchester United" style, with an unconvincing win,tie and a loss (although I hammered Inderpendiente 5-1 in the Toyota Cup) - and I'm third in the SPL with Kilmarnock and Rangers ahead of me and the board breathing down my @ss.....Neways check out some of those players if things don't improve, and let me know how you do - but don't panic, things like that happen often and more often than not you'll explode for 5 or 6 against some crap team to break out of your slump.

Let me know how it goes.

I did the quad 2 years on the Hop
and going for a third
5-3-2 att
Gk - Robert Douglas
3 DC's
i rotate them
Richard Dunne,Rio Ferdinand,Jon Woodgate,Lee Roche,Michael Ball
3Wb's (with 2 always playing)
and again i rotate them
Robbie Stockdale
Kieron Dyer
Gareth Jellyman
2 Mc's
Pablo Aimar,Roderigo Brana
1 AMC - Joe Cole (what a star paid 2.5 now everyone wants him)
2Fc's
Charlie Ejerholm
Joseba Etxeberria

and some subs

and i play with short passing and pressing
don't bother with counterattack if you have a good team....it gives away possesion and actually makes your attacks harder and less likely to be succesful and wears the team out.

God the Jellyman rocks! I got to Celtic after 6 years so Joe Cole cost me 12mil + Lee Hendrie! The prob with the Scottish League is that, to be succesful in both domestic and european, you need such a big squad, come the last few stages of the CL you're playing 3, sometimes even 4 (!), games a week as the schedule's bunched together....

Hey guys .... is there anyway I could download or get this game?? It sounds like a really interesting game. I live in Canada. Thanks.

Alright Neutral, I am going to go on your advice tonight.

This morning I played for 5 min., and got Inter to agree to my 13m transfer fee for Viera. (Funded by a 6m sell of D. Ferguson to Celtic)

If I don't get some goals this week then I'll let you know...

Thanx

BTW, Hartson was brilliant last season. Leading goal-scorer in the EPL behind Michael Owen.

John Hartson! My word...

Neways, right now Andri Sigporsson is doing the business for me, his goals to shots ratio is amazing - even better than Javier Saviola's.

Let me know how u do.

where can i download a warez version of cm99/00?
thanks

Warez??? That's illegal don't you know?

Try www.cm3.com thats'the official site. There you can download the demoversion of CM99/00. (and tactics,editosrs, backgrounds, etc http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/wink.gif

And at www.cm3.com/messageboard.html you can discuss about Cm99/00 on the forum just like here

By the way, if you play this you will hate Fifa 2000 more and more (or not)!!!

No warez, are you homeless, on welfare, bankrupt? If you can afford a computer and internet acess you can afford to BUY your games instead of stealing them.

YIKES!

Since when r u guys so edgy about warez. I remenber everyone telling each other about where to download FW Manager 2000.

Not me

ok what do i get to do in the demo?

and i forgot to mention
Barry Ferguson as an MC
whom i rotate with aimar and Brana

word of advice...in in CM3 at least Brana rocks
20 creativity and 20 passing
only reason i play him as an mc rather than amc is that he has a lower work rate and less goal scoring potential than Joe Cole

in 15 games Brana got 7 assists and 3 goals...
damn
