go to your league table screen
click on the position (the actual number)
and it should come up :)
unfortunately it will not work for previous season, it has to be your current one
hope this helps :)

heres my december update
its the 7th in the game, since i decided to wait until my stadium expansion was complete

brace yourselves, your in for a few shocks...

The League Table:

Its hard to find a team that is sitting in 4th place, as I am now, and having conceded the most goals in the whole league. I am having SERIOUS defensive problems, and have not had a clean sheet in 9 matches. My defence is top-class though, with everyone having 7 stars in the assistant manager's opinion, and all the scouts.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated

My latest fixtures:


Almost every game, I have scored at least 2 or 3 goals, and also conceded at least 2. There hasn't been a game which I can remember where the commentators didn't say What a Game!!! at the end, or something along its lines.

The team right now:

The team, in an attacking sense, it is amazing, in a defending sense, it looks as if its ok, with all defenders coming out of the game with 7 (or higher) ratings, but when you watch them play, its woeful. If it had not been for Kenny Arthur, that 44 goals we conceded would surely have been 144. Another thing to notice is that Lauri Dalla Valle has entered a mini-slump (I hope its just mini) and hasnt scored i a few games, and has emerged with two 6's and a 5. Luckily, Gustavo Pinedo, Alain Pierre Baclet, and Alex Fernandez, have stepped it up and are now providing the goals for the team.
On the tactical point of view, I have tried both mine and Fed's tactics, both seem to work, with man games being wins, but goals are being conceded whatever I do.

On an even worse note, my finances continue to drop (look at all that red), but hopefully the stadium expansion will help


and so I leave you, hoping for some help for that faltering defence, and grateful that you've taken the time to read this

very good ap well done XD
nice league position Play-off spot and hopefully u can stay there ;)
em u concede a lot of goals but u score more ;) which always helps :P em i haven't a clue what to tell u as u said ur defenders are getting 7 or higher each match em........... u even playing a DM so its not ur tactic but make sure he is pretecting the back-4 in the games as all the troble might be from the middle and he is not doing his job
lets us know if u find out where the problem is coming from ;)

thanks for the replies guys. dolph i dunno why you should be jealous , i could be doing a LOT better this season this season
and i dont know what exactly is wrong, but it corrected itself
i put darren barr at right-back and we got 3 clean sheets (and 3 resounding wins) in a row. he gets a slight knock and i put kilian in his place, i get a 2-2 draw with hull...
ill use barr again at right-back and see what happens. also, pinedo scored 5 in a match, alex fernandez got 2 in one, they both have something like 14 goals, dalla valle has 18, and hoiland has 7 or 8

next update coming soon

thanks bowser and john for the replies
funny you mention sabic, his contract runs out in the summer and he is signing on a free then
ive decided no to get any players since my transfer and wage budgets are pretty low, also, gaspari, austin, pinedo and dalla valle's contracts need renewing
the board accepted a 6.5 million bid for dalla valle, but he instead stayed with me
i am now 2nd in the league after winning against Blackburn, so that is a big positive on the promotion front
and im also through to the 4th round of the fa cup
might play a bit later this week
will keep you all updated...

im using two, if one doesnt work the i switch to the other
one is 4-4-2 diamond (my tactic)
the other is 4-2-3-1 (fed's supremo tactic)
i tinkered a bit so it would suit me more and i have made both tactics more of short passing and a slower pace, ive also increased closing down, and added tight marking for DCs

Great work with Accrington there m8!A really great job!!!
I think you will win promotion the Premiership.You've a got a great team and you've proven your worth thus far.

I've this defensive problem too with my Kettering game (currently in the L2).No tactic could change the situation.The only solution I've found is put certain players in certain positions.

GL with the rest of the season

You have done well considering your managing Accringtion Stanley and it will be great if you could make them a Premier team.

Request a Team/League or Player Guide by PM
I wont be doing FM09 Guides cause I took my game full of bugs and errors back
