Try 5-3-2, direct ball game, if you have players with passing and pace.

* * * *

My personal favourite is a variation 4-4-2, continental style if you have a
skillful team like Sheffield Wednesday.
* <-*
*
*
* * * *
*

With this I've won 6 successive league championships, 3 F.A. Cups, 2 League
Cups, 2 European Cups & 1 UEFA Cup.
There is also the 4-4-2, passing style, for Arsenal/Liverpool.

original so the same formation works for both games.
To give you some idea of the success I've had with this formation, I've taken Crewe
(as I couldn't be Carlisle boooooooo) to the following successes
Year Div. Place FA CUP Rnd Lg Cup Rnd Others
1993 3 1 4 2
1994 2 1 4 3
1995 1 1 5 3 Didn't qualify for Internationa A/I
1996 P 1 WON 5
1997 P 1 5 WON 2nd round in Euro Cup
1998 P 1 FINAL 4 GROUPS " "
1999 P 1 WON WON GROUPS " "
2000 P 1 4 WON 2nd round " "
2001 P 1 FINAL WON 2nd round " "
2002 P 1 WON 5 WON " "
My first team is now worth 43 000 000!
And I've taken their average crowd from 1300 to 27000!!!!
And now the moment you've been waitinf for ....the formation itself!!

So there you have it...make sure you have two good centre backs though as
they are very important. This formation gets you millions of chances so
if you have a good striker you should score a lot of goals. If you're losing
with about 10 minutes to go, take of either 4 or 5 and put on a central midfielder
in his place.
What records have you got in this game???
Tell me how you get on.

P.S. Does anybody else play this game as it would be nice to chat to some more
people about it.

Although I have a deep knowledge of the English game I find
CM 93 a bit hard. I love the game its brilliant.
So far I have been Liverpool for three seasons and I won
the Coca Cola cup in my first season but have had no luck since
then. I think if you play the wrong formation ie Direct Ball
does not suit Liverpool than they will not score many games.
I know someone who within 20 seasons won all the trophies
had 100 million pounds and then bought Giggs for 9 million
pounds at the age of 38 or something.
If you have CM 93 these are the players NOT to BUY
1.Le Tissier
2.Andy Cole
3.Alan Shearer
PLAYERS TO BUY
1. Earl Barratt
2. Sheringham
Please help me with this game.

Being a Liverpool man I started with them, but in the 4th division,
not glory-hunitng like some. With a mixture of youngsters and
oldies, plus 3 very astute buys when I could afford to,
I came 2nd to Stockport in division, so promoted;
Got to the semi-final of the League Cup where I was beaten by, would you
believe. Ipswich, who unbelievably were relegated from the 1st (i.e. top)
division, and I beat Spurs at White Hart Lane!;
Made it to 4th Round of F.A.Cup;
Was robbed by 1 goal after being level on points in the Domark
Trophy group by Rotherham...but denied them promotion so got me own back!!!
Ended up well over half a million in profit and lured an experienced
defender for 300,000 at the beginning of the new season.
Pity it will take a few years to get these records though!
Best style of play...defo continental with two forward pushing full backs,
two attacking wingers, 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 with a forward pushing central
midfielder and one doing a Ronnie Whelan!!! (Im sure you know what
I mean!)
: Please help me with this game.
: Kamal Haider
Tip...midfield is often the key, if youre getting less than 50%
then bolster it quick! Fast full backs and a midfielder who hangs
back can lead to less goals conceded.

GEE...I tried Man. Utd. and won everything for 5 straight seasons
(including E.C.).
Liverpool...no good...if you are playing ver1.03, try Man.Utd.
if you are playing ver4.03, try Newcastle.
As for Man Utd., try Long Ball.
As for Newcastle, try pass-to-feet.

Buy the following players:

Giggs (Man. Utd.)
M. Sheron (Man. City)
V. Samways (Tot.)
R. Jones (Liverpool)

It's not that. it depends on the type of players you buy. I.e. If
you play the long ball style, and have players who can't head the
ball, then you're obviously not getting the best out of them.
It's up to you how you want your team to play, just make sure you
have the players who have the necessary abilities.
>I know someone who within 20 seasons won all the trophies

>pounds at the age of 38 or something.
Well, I've chosen Blackburn but I'm finding it difficult to attract players
I want like Gary McAllister to Ewood Park, because we're not big enough,
and besides, just when I have the 3 million I need to make a bid, his value
inconveniently leaps to 3.5 M. !!!
So, I'm having to go for the players that cost slightly less (Like Batty, a
bargain at 1.5 million).
As for the unbeatable 2-4-4 formation...well, it's not. Although it does create
loads of chances, and if you have good strikers, you'll reap the benifits.
>If you have CM 93 these are the players NOT to BUY
>1.Le Tissier
Mmm, I dunno. He blows hot and cold a lot of the time, but he's invaluable when
he's performing well. I usually play him in central midfield.
>2.Andy Cole
But he's only 19 or so when you start in 1993, so he's got a lot to learn, and
it's unreasonable to expect him to match the top premier scorers.
>3.Alan Shearer
Well, like I said, he's my striker since I've chosen Blackburn, and partnered
with Les Ferdinand, they're making quite a formidable strikeforce. I just
don't have the dosh to buy the wingers I want (Giggs, Sharpe, etc)
Dean Saunders seems to be a regular top scorer. A good buy if you can get him
before he touches the wrong side of 30.

You should get hold of Cm 93 and 94
The players are real.
Its also quite amusing as in CM 93 Man Utd and Arsenal always
sack their managers before the first season ends.
In fact both teams were relegated in consecutive seasons.
If you do purchase CM 93 and play Liverpool then
Sell all their players apart from
Rob Jones
Hutchison
Marsh
James
Redknapp
Mcmannam
Try to sell John Barnes quickly. He loses form very quickly.
In CM 94 Robbie Fowler is crap
Sell him aswell

Hignett - Middlesborough
Adebola - Norwich

Who is this Adebola playing for Norwich? Akinbiyi, perhaps?
If I remember rightly, Crewe's Dele Adebola has been playing on loan at
Northwich and is supposed to be playing in the Norwegian league this season.

accounts they have a whopping 30 million.
Trouble is nobody wants to go Tranmere.
Also a good way of getting rid of old players is transfer listing them. All the
players who are thirty will retire at the end of the season. This doesn't include
goalies, as they tend to retire later.
And finally I've won the Treble in my first season at Liverpool.
Made Bolton win the League in two seasons.
And brought Wycombe to the Premier in three seasons.

No record of any Adebola in either of the top two divisions in Norway. There
is talk of Lillestrom buying an english striker though, that might be it.
Is he any good?

playing a major club you won't be able to afford more than a few.
What you need to be doing is looking out for some young undiscovered talents.
f.x. Thomas Mooney on the left back
central midfielders as Darren Ryan, Danny Cooper
attackers like Steve Jones (give him a few years for experience 1st)
for an excellent goalie try out Simon Sheppard of Coventry. He averaged
8.70 in his best season for me.
As for tactics, I've tried several with good results. The best is a 4-3-3
like this
^
10 9 11
^
7 6 8
^ ^
5 3 4 2
1
playig pass to feet, or direct ball depending on what your players are like.
This brought Leyton Orient from second division to seven straight premiership
titles, plus assorted Fa, League and european cups.
I have also experimented with a 3-5-2 formation, as i found the lack of
wings in the first one boring :)
This also works good, although not as unbeatable. Most styles work well
but I prefer continental. Try to get some decent central defenders (Tony Adams
spring to mind, no flames please :->)
All in all en excellent game, but too easy to win. Let's hope for a tougher
challenge in the next release.

D. Caskey, G.Flitcroft (sp?), and Bamby are very good. They are not expensive
too!

I like to use this formation:
7 9
10
11 4 6
8 <-anchor
^ ^
3 5 2
1
using cont. style and it assures very good result.
you'll have about 17 chances while the other team will have only about 2 or 3
D.Barton (Wim.) and C.Palmer (S. Wed.) are very good anchor

Oppps... slight mistake on my part, yes Adebola at Crewe and Akinbiyi at
somewhere like Hartelpool, can't remember...both are good tho!
Also, for managers of lower league teams David Money is an amazing
scorer....something like (year 2000) 500 games and 333 goals, at least 20 a
season - he's at Scarborough I think...bought him for my QPR team, 14 games
7 goals but couldn't compete with Armstrong and Lancashire (another
excellent striker, at Burnley)
C.E. Worth
Wycombe always get to the Premier within half a dozen years, plus Hartlepool
and Cardiff tend to do well al the time....
CM loses its reality there :)

< stuff deleted>
I have found one formation to be absolutely unbeatable CM 93 / 94 and this
is as follows,
^
| ^
8 9 10 11 |
2 3 4 6 7
<5>
i.e 4 strikers, five midfield and one defender - usually a sweeper, with a
long ball or direct ball style depending on how good the team are at passing
the ball. It seems that 5 in midfield genrate a tremendous number of chances
and with 4 strikers to convert them your laughing. Using this formation the
opposition will score goals but you will nearly always score more.
Another formation I have found fairly successful is
10 11
7 8 9 5 6
2 3 4
again with direct or longball style according to the teams passing skills. As
for players I have no complaints about Alan shearer, he's banged in plenty
for me. Other players worth looking at in IMHO are,
1. Chris Bart-Williams (Sheff Wed)
2. Chris Armstrong (Crystal Palace)
3. Colin Mckee(?) (Man Utd.)
4. Craig Highnet (MBoro)
5. Joey Beuchamp (Coventry)
6. Chris Waddle (Sheff Wed - V.cheap and good for 1-2 seasons)
BTW with 1-5-4 formation above I have won the European Cup, Coca-cola cup,
FA Cup and Premiership, for the last 4 seasons. Team Nottingham Forest.

Adebola was going to play for Sarpsborg in the Norwegian 2. div, but he was
injured either at Crewe or Northwich were he was on loan, and will be out of
the game until autumn
Wedge Antilles

Stefan Asmundsson
I did a little experiment where I found out that left- and right-backs have no
role in the game! If you only use center defenders your defence will be just
as strong. I have developed a formation that workes so well that you win just
about every game:
8 9 6
5 (supporter)
11 (forw.) 4 10 7 (forw.)
2 3
1
I have found out that a player that is good in a game you are playing now may
be useless in the next game you start, so don't judge them forever if they
fail you. Young players that usually do well: Kevin Watson & Nick Barmby
(Spurs), George Ndah (DA C), Bart-Williams (MA CR), Kavanagh (MA CR), Alan
Shearer (Blackburn), Tommy Johnson, Martin Kuhl (Darby, Kuhl isn't young but
great value for money), Richard Hall (Southhampton ?)

division after chosing them at random. After 4 seasons I had won all
the divisions including premier-league, and the team was still based
upon the players I started with. Especially the defender Hendon and
the midfielder Carter was awesome. I just strenghtened the team with
a couple of young attackers, Bruce Dyer and B-something Key and they
started scoring buckets of goals. I won the the 1.division with 99 points.
As all this was with a normal formation (4-3-3) I guess there should be
enough cheap talent in Leyton Orient :)
(At the end Ian Hendon was worth 7.9 M-pounds, not a bad raise in value for
a defender)
BTW how are Leyton orient doing in the real world?

I've only seen him play once, as he's usually in the reserves, although he
seemed to start scoring a lot at Northwich.
IMHO he's still rather inexperienced but he's big and awkward, although we
might be keeping him if the rumours are true that Tony Naylor is moving to
Luton Town.
