Hints and tip for Championship Manager 01/02

PLAYERS WORTH BUYING:

Ade Akinbiyi (Leicester) - not so good in the League, but always shines in Europe.

Bojan Djordjic (Man Utd) - Give him a season or so and he will become one of your best players.

Taribo West (No Club [free]) - Snatch him up at the beginning as he is worth his weight in gold.

Cherno Samba (Millwall) - After a season he will become a prolific striker.

Luis Enrique (Barcelona) - Buy him after about a season. If used in a central or forward role he will become one of the best signings you ever make.

Henrik Larsson (Celtic) - Works well with most teams and a very good player in his own right. May take a few games to get settled, but then is guaranteed goals.

AVOID THE FOLLOWING PLAYERS:

Luis Figo

Zinedine Zidane

Steve McManaman

- these are good players but will mess up your team as they seem to mysteriously lose form after they join you.

GOOD TACTICS:

Always remember: often the most simple tactic is the most effective.

Try a 4-4-2. Have your full backs making forward runs whenever you are in possession. Make your most creative central midfielder your play maker and have him come forward and to the centre whilst you are in possession. This will provide excellent support for the two centre forwards.

Alternatively, the same can be tried with a 4-3-3, where you have you creative attacking midfielder, sitting just behind the two centre forwards.

STAFF WORTH SIGNING:

Giogos Pomaski (Olympiakos) - Nearly all of his stats are 20, making him easily the best coach in the game. He will make a massive difference to your team, and help establish the younger players.
