I swear by this formation:

GK

DR DC DC DL

DM

MC MC

AMR AML

ST

Usually, my left sided CM is the creative one (free role, gets forward, attacking mentality and tries through balls) where the right sided CM is the "ball winning midfielder" with his mentality set to "support". The DM is there to sweep anything up, that my ball winner misses and both of those pass short, so the attacking players can spend more time in possession.

Both wingers get to the byline, and my full backs cross from deep (for some reason on FM10 a number of them end up over the keeper and into the far corner...strange but I'll take a goal thanks!).

The system is made for your lone striker to be a goal machine. I often get called a one-man team in network games with mates because the striker has a superb scoring record, whereas the next in the scoring charts are way behind him (usually a winger or the attacking CM). Eg. Just finished a season with Sporting Lisbon where Liedson got 36 goals in 51 games.

You starting from scratch?

My first FM10 game I went Crewe (like taking lower league sides and establishing them higher up the footballing ladder...until the game refuses to load after 8 seasons! ).

Kyle Bartley on loan from Arsenal is a solid defender.

Mark Howard is a keeper at a Scottish club who you can get very cheap and is very dependable in the leagues you mentioned.

Nicola Saric on loan from Liverpool scores hatfuls, very fast striker.

Depending on what leagues you have open I'd highly recommend Eyemain Henaini (sp?) a French striker and Luca Di Matteo, an Italian winger. I signed both in my second season on the game with Crewe after getting promoted. Henaini's contract was up so got him for nowt and Di Matteo was bought for a small fee.

Since that game stopped working though I've fluttered about with bigger sides on the game and haven't bought them again. So I'm not sure how much they'd go for at the start of the game.

Does anyone know how to update the database? Looks like the method has changed e.g not WINRar.......
