Cardiff City on Football Manager

Thu Dec 29, 2011 7:59 pm

I started a season with Cardiff, the other day but having problems with winning already! I am losing 5-1 to Barnsley and rock bottom of the championship


My team is...

Marshal
McNaugton Gerrard Turner Taylor
Conway Jennings Cowie Whittigham
Dobbie Earnshaw

With Miller, Mason, Gunarson, Blake and Hudaon on bench!

I can't seem to win with this team!
Anyone who plays with Cardiff be able to help me out with what tatics and team to use please?

Play Miller as a target man with Earnshaw as a Poacher, got me over 40 goals in their first season... And play mason as much as possible he gets pretty good in the second season. Play whitts in CM as a DLP n conway n cowie on the wings!

Got promoted in my first season with City, Didn't sign anyone at all. Just played 4-5-1 system with Miller up top. Now in my 7th season and fighting for Europe after failing to get into it last season after finishing runners up in Europa!

You've hit the nail on the head, don't go made with changes, stick to the side you start with

I play a 4-2-3-1 formation only lost once and won 12 out of 14, miller up front on his own with an attacking midfielder behind him and an AML and AMR, two centre midfielders, millers got 14 in 14 for me, Mauricio Molina and Bressan are essential buys! Cheap aswell, need to get them quick otherwise they go to top teams

Cheers I'll have to try these tactics, and what does everyone play Attack, Over Load, Defence, Standard or Contain?

I found every time I played Mason I seemed to win :)

Taylors abit weak for me aswell, I Mcnaughton on the left and Blake on the right, with Turner and Even Hovland (Quality)in the middle, Mason seems to always play well whenever he comes on for me
