FM 2008: Staff Guide

we have a thread for players, but i realised we don't have one for staff so i thought this would be a good idea. so if you find a good member of staff can you list him in here, cos personally i find it hard to get the staff these days. can we please keep to the format, and can we give any 7 star ratings, i'll start off.

Name: Pako Ayestaran
Role(s): Asst Man
7 star training: defence, tactical
Current club: none
Other notes: is very good as a manager if you decide to go on holiday, due to high tac knowledge....

G.Nanni-physio-Bologna
F.Baresi-youth coach-Milan
V.Pincolini-ass man-Parma
V.Scala-coach-Roma
P.Paixo (sp) hes brazilian and prob best coach/ass man in game
Claudio Gaudino (fitness at Inter)

Some Scouts

The countries on the right are the places that he scouts best(on my game)(in order of how well)

Antonio Schio - Italy, Ukraine, Croatia 6/10
(Judging CA 17, Judging PA 12, Tactical knowledge 18)

Sandro Orlandelli - Argentina, Brazil, Uraguay 9/10
(Judging CA 18, Judging PA 17, Tactical knowledge 17)

Rene Moons - Holland, Denmark, Belgium 6.5/10
(Judging CA 18, Judging PA 14, Tactical knowledge 15)

Daniel Karbassiyoon - Italy, England, USA, Mexico 10/10
(Judging CA 20, Judging PA 20, Tactical knowledge 17)

Wolfgang Grobe - Germany 6/10
(Judging CA 13, Judging PA 15, Tactical knowledge 17)

Giles Grimandi - France, England, Czech Republic, Belgium, Switzerland 8.5/10
(Judging CA 17, Judging PA 16, Tactical knowledge 20)

Francis Cagigao - Spain, England, Argentina, Brazil 7/10]
(Judging CA 17, Judging PA 17, Tactical knowledge 15)

Tony Banfield - England, Nigeria [B]8/10
(Judging CA 19, Judging PA 18, Tactical knowledge 16)

Francis Cagigao - Spain, England, Argentina, Brazil 7/10
(Judging CA 17, Judging PA 17, Tactical knowledge 15)

Tony Banfield - England, Nigeria 8/10
(Judging CA 19, Judging PA 18, Tactical knowledge 16)

I always go 1 coach for each discipline.
I have 6 and 7 star ratings only:

Fitness: Jon Dalzell & Donogh Holohan
Attacking - Chris Donolly
Defence - Ron Reid
Set Piece - John Murtough
Ball Control - Jimmy Hendrie
Shooting - Tom Boyd
Tactics - Vito Scala
GK - Ray Clemence

Name: Ryszard Szul
Role(s): Physio
Current club: Legia

These are all free agents:

Bjorn Nilsson is a very good ass-man imo.

Luit Zwaneld(spelling) 7 star coach in many things.

Ally Lynch very good fitness coach.

Kenneth Powel goalkeeping coach.

Name: Bill Beswick
Role(s): Asst Man/Coach
7 star training: None
Current club: None
Other notes: 20 man management, 20 determination, 18 JPA, 17 JPP, 18 Dicipline & 20 Motivation

Name: Wil Rodrigues
Role(s): Scout
Current club: None
Nationality: Brazilian (good for scouting south america)

=================

Here you go for guide

=================

Strength = Fitness 18
Aerobic = Fitness 18
Goalkeepers = GK 18
Tactics = Tactics 18
Defence = Defence 18 + Tactics 18
or Defence 19 = Tactics 14
or Defence 20 + Tactics 10

Attack is the same as Defence except substitute Defence stats for attacking stats

Ball Control = Technique 18 + Mental 18
19 + 14
20 + 10

Shooting = Technique 18 + Attack 18
19 + 14
20 + 10

Set Peices = Tech 17 + Mental/Att combine 39
Tech 18 + Ment/Att combined 36
Tech 19 + Ment/Att combined 33
Tech 20 + Ment/Att combined 30

These will give you 7 star training on each area,
You only need the one coach on each area but obviously the more you have the less the workload.

Hope this helps
