Short story: Am in my 2th seson with Man utd.
Hade a champions league match up but only 1 striker was fit for the match, so i tryed out someting new.. I took my best backup defender and made him targetman for the match..

This started to make me think, so i swaped over to a try formasion save game i got with united, and started to use my best defender as a targetman.

Yake to considerasion that he hade played the first 8-10 matches as a defender before I started to use him as a targetman.
So his Stats are close to : 1 goal and 1 assist in every match, and Best player revard in every sec match..

Hope its to use for anyone out there.

PS. just want to say am sorry for my bad English..

I K Start best club in the world

I've done this quite often in my Juventus game, usually when Trezeguet picks up an injury (at least once a week), I throw Igor Tudor up front as he has very good heading and jumping stats.

I've got a regen Centre back called Jerome Da Costa who has 20 in all but 1 of the physical stats, plus a 20 for heading.

When I'm desperate for a goal or have no target men fit I often throw him up front. Obviously he causes havoc and wins all the headers and scores a few, he blatantly balloons the scoring chances that fall to his feet, so it's not a perfect approach. Perhaps a centre half with goods finishing and compsure stats would make a perfect target man?

Tim Cahill at Everton is also a more than adequate replacement target man. He very rarely loses a header.

Did this abit in FM06 but it seemed to only work for half a season or so might give it another go

Tottenham Hotspur do it in real life aswell

When Big Ron was Villa manager he used to put Ugo up front when i needed a goal

last bit should read "Ugo up front when he needed a goal"

That's okay, but when you say "Best defender" at united, it's spelt VIDIC, not HEINZE.
