FM2006 - Decent Defenders?

JangoSolo · #1 (**permalink**) 17th November 2005, 12:08 PM

Alright, its got me - I could stay away no longer! I am having sleepless nights worrying about the board, divorce is on the cards, but what a game!

I am doing "the challenge" with my mates - which basically means that you start the game without a job. I was offered the Yoevil job, so I am struggling in the lower divisions.

I have just lost my left sided centre back to Lazio of all places for �0 and I need a replacement, now that I am in the jan transfer window I can buy again. I have loaned in the likes of David Raven, but all by CBs are right sided.

Any tips for a decent left sided defender? Any recommendations for any cheap players will be most welcome

Im in the same challenge mate - didnt realise you were in this!!

There is a decent swedish guy that you can get on a free loan...I think his name is sebastian somethingson and he is D/DM M L.

I dont have any transfer money at Bristol, but the best signing ive made is Chris Baird. Not only is he consistently my best player, but hes got one hell of a surname.

If you're already in the januar-window it's probably too late, but there are lots of scandinavians on on Bosman that month. A couple of good young sweeds amongst others. A player called Went (or Wendt) is a good left back that's free in the first window.

Use the player search facility and set value to 0, and look for the player with the best tackling and heading attributes. (tho by Jan most good freebies have been snapped up). I managed to find a striker and keeper from MK Dons good enough for Liverpool U18s.

Haven't checked but aren't theere some good bargains at FCUM?

Hehe, when you are sitting across from Lee all day going on about it with Leary, it was only going to be a matter of time!

Cracking game though and the challenge is good fun.

Cheers for the tips guys - hope I am not too late to snap up some decent bargains

Keep em coming!
