You can then make tactical substitutions and formation changes to suit the current situation. For example, if you're one up with not long to go, you may want to shore up your defence; or if you badly need an equaliser, push men forward. You may also want to replace a booked or injured player, or alter your formation after a sending-off. In particular, watch the Territory meter and the Shot count for each team: if the opposition is getting more shots in, that's a bad sign! Of course, results sometimes go against the run of play, but if you're getting twice as many shots in as your opponents, you should be onto a winner. Always look at your players' ratings after the match, to see how they performed. Take a note of any poor performances so you can possibly replace that player in the next match, or single them out for training. | Transfer Market | Updated 31 Aug | Even if you've got the money, it's not always easy to sign players. So here are a few pointers to 'getting your man'. Older players want the security of a long contract, so offer them four or more years. If you have the Ageing option turned off, you can often pick up older players for peanuts - and they won't start going downhill. Younger players don't want to be tied down to one club, so offer them a contract of three years or less. Always offer slightly more than the transfer fee requested and you shouldn't be turned down - by the club at least. You always have to offer higher wages to lure a player to your team. You don't have to offer a bonus, but it's usually a good idea to give a goalie a clean sheet bonus; and a striker one for scoring goals. The 'house and car' bonus is only worthwhile when signing players from abroad. When trying to buy players from the database (not on the transfer list), you'll just have to guess what fee and wages to offer: start fairly low and keep bidding higher until you get them. When you come to renew a player's contract, you usually only have to offer him a slight wage rise to keep him, so don't shell out more than you need to. | All Out Attack | Updated 31 Aug | This strategy will give you loads of scoring opportunities during a match, although it might leave you vulnerable at the other end. Select a 3-4-3 (or 3-5-2) formation, Long Ball passing style, and Attacking overall style to pepper the opposition's goal. It's particularly useful if you urgently need an equaliser. | Winging It | Updated 31 Aug | If you want to use a couple of fast wingers to best effect, select a total of five midfielders. Choose a 3-5-2 or 4-5-1 formation and push them wide with a Passing Game style. We recommend Zonal defence, Medium tackling, and Orthodox overall style. | Long Ball Merchant | Updated 31 Aug | The 'route one' tactic can be used to bombard the opposition's half with long balls. As you'll be bypassing the midfield (and the need for any passing skill), you can reduce it to shore up the defence and/or put an extra striker up front. Here's a typical setup: 5-2-3, Zonal defence, Medium tackling, Long Ball passing, Orthodox style. | Defensive Counterattack | Updated 31 Aug | If you're up against a superior team, the only option is to get men behind the ball. That means a 5-4-1 formation. Use a Sweeper system, set tackling to Medium or Hard, choose a Counter Attack passing style, and Defensive overall style. | Team Tactics | Updated 31 Aug | Obviously Brian, your match tactics depend on the opposition, so always have a look at their statistics and formation first. At the end of the day, it's up to your personal preference exactly what style you play, but here are a few general pointers. | Free Money | Updated 31 Aug | A good managerial tactic if you have a club with a small ground is to look out for the players who are free on the Bosman ruling. They will still have a transfer value shown next to them even though they are free (this is basically an indicator to show how much they will be worth once they have been offered a contract). So no matter how good or poor the player is, just buy the ones with a decent value and then place them straight on the transfer list. This allows you to make money from nowhere. | Player Reincarnation | Updated 31 Aug | This trick works with the Ageing option turned on. When you start the game, go to the financial screen and pool all your resources into your youth team so it's up to 70%. Now, when one of your older players retires, he'll be regenerated as a youth player with the same statistics and wage demands. Keep a lookout on the transfer list for old players (35 or over) with a decent rating (3.5 stars and over) to buy. Because of their age, their wage demands will be fairly low, so once they've retired and been reincarnated as youth players you won't have to pay them much. | Safe Hands | Updated 31 Aug | One of the best investments you can make is a good goalkeeper. They're worth their weight in gold so buy one as soon as you can. Also, try to improve your defence, as this is the foundation of any good team. | Cover Me | Updated 31 Aug | Make sure you have decent reserve players for every position, so you can replace any injured team-mates - and rest unfit players. Injuries can become a real problem later in the season, so put plenty of funding (about 20%) into your Medical staff. You don't want to have to be forced into changing your formation and tactics it can totally ruin your Season. | Dead Wood | Updated 31 Aug | If you have the Ageing option on, get rid of any old duffers to start with - while you can still get anything for them. Keep your most promising youngsters as they'll improve with time and training. | Training Ground | Updated 31 Aug | Look carefully at the player Statistics, noting deficiencies in key areas for each position; eg tackling for defenders, shooting for attackers. Then set the relevant training to increase them. Use Fitness training to improve low fitness - but also take that player out of the numbered 16 squad members. | General Tips | Updated 31 Aug | What A Great Save Save your game regularly: it's the classic safeguard of any football management game. That way, if you happen to lose an important match, you can simply reload your position, alter your tactics, and play it again if only Glenn Hoddle had used this trick. Note that you need a whole 15 blocks to save your game, so make sure you've got a blank memory card before you start - a friend of Adam's had been playing over three hours when he realised he'd have to rush out and buy another memory card! | Team Nobbling | Updated 31 Aug | Another way to use the Free Transfers Scam (see above) to your advantage is that whenever your come up against one of your three dummy teams, you can muck up their formations and players to make them easy opponents. Replace any good players they've got left (since you pilfered their stars!) with the reserves - or even buy rubbish players specially for them. Put them in all the wrong team positions, just to make sure, then use an attacking formation. This should ensure victory for your real team. | Other People's Money | Updated 31 Aug | There's another variation of the above trick. On the Transfers screen, select one of your three dummy teams by clicking in the top left corner. Then buy a player from the list with that team's money . Make a generous offer (hey, it's not your money!), then select Next Game from the main menu and he should join you. You can then use 'The Free Transfers Scam' to move that player to your real team. As before, offer nothing, then set the player's weekly wage to £0, contract to ten years, and bonus to none. Finalise the offer and accept it. Once again you've swindled one of your three dummy teams. Repeat this process to add even more great players (including international ones) to your squad. | The Free Transfers Scam | Updated 31 Aug | On the first screen where you choose the number of players, set the latter to four, then click on Manager . On the Name Entry screen, just keep clicking Return . On the Team Select screen, select three top Premier 'dummy' sides, then another 'real' team. On the main menu, go to the Transfer Market. In the top-left corner, make sure that it says your real team's name (ie Player Four). Then go to the 'Select Player From Database' icon and click on it. Remember, you picked three other dummy teams, so go to one of them and choose a goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, or forward, then click on the player you want. On the Negotiations screen, leave your offer at nothing. Set the player's weekly wage to £0, the contract term to ten years (or whatever you prefer), and bonus to none. Then finalise your offer. Straight away, the offer for the player will come up, so click on Accept. Now you have the top-class player on your real team, and you've paid naff all for him! If the board doesn't let you buy him because of the size of your squad, simply go the Contracts screen (via Squad menu) and release one or more players. Repeat this trick to transfer more top players from the three dummy teams to your real side and you'll soon have a dream team - at all on zero wages! Note: You may get sacked as a dummy team manager if you offload too many vital players. | Dodgy Dealing | Updated 31 Aug | | Although Premier Manager '98 doesn't let you exchange brown envelopes in motorway service stations, there are still ways you can con the system. Many thanks to Carl Sampson of Barnsley for these underhand tactics. | Cheap Contract Renewal | Updated 14 Aug | When you need to renew your contracts, go to contracts, click on the player to renew, increase his wage by £50, Then add on then years. If done correctly, he will accept the new terms. This may be done with any player. | £4,000,000 | Updated 14 Aug | | Select the Barcelona or Juventus teams for both away games. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 44 platforms | | | 9,718 games | | | 43,845 cheats | | | Last update 31 Oct | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
