Do you do much with regards to 'Opposition Instructions'?
I only ask as I'm noticing that I'm not really. When i first played FM08 for the first few games i did, such as ensuring their star man plays on his weaker foot etc, basically really small but potentially significant things.
Now though, i just tend to focus on my own tactics and that's it. occassionally i get one of my guys to man-mark someone outstanding they have (like a Cesc) but this doesn't happen too often. just wondered if anyone took much time on this?

I used to, but then I noticed these instructions were causing more problems, defenders closing down and getting pulled out of position etc.
Now I just look to make the opposition contain me. If I see my player is being man marked I get him to swap positions to draw the player out of position etc.

Generally, I will ony ever use this for lone strikers or attacking wingers. On the lone striker I will set tight marking to always, and with attacking wingers, I will set it to show them onto their weaker foor, and sometimes, close them down.
I will also set tacking to hard against injured players, carded players who are getting wound up, or if the goalie looks uncomfortable on the ball, I will set his instructions to close down often.
