i always have at least 1 30+ in every position, depending on wether they have PPMs to pass on.

I always try to number my reserve strikers as 29, 39, 49. My most promising prospects are numbered in the 30s, next most promising in the 40s. Keepers are generally at a multiple of 10.

I use my #12 as multi-purpose players, e.g. Philip Lahm, Owen Hargreaves.

I give very skilled players the #25 shirt, e.g. if Gerrard or Lampard got the #8 shirt, somebody like Riquelme, Delgado, Totti would get #25.

I also give my strikers these numbers: #9, #19, #29, #39, #99. #99 is saved for if i get a top quality striker just before the transfer window shuts and my #9, #10 and #19 are already taken.

I've never retired a shirt but one day I intend to.

I always leave the player rating screen on when the match is on.

Keepers get #1, #13, #23, #31, #51.

Right backs #2, #22.

Left backs #3, #33.

Central defenders #4, #5, #14, #15.

Gotta be organised.

I always give #18 to my favourite player (not necessarily the best!) and then my best youth players get 80 onwards so I can spot them easily when I give them a first team game. And I never give my reserve goalie 13, they usually get 12 or another random number. I don't know why.

Also, when naming my subs for a match, I always put them in the order of most defensive, so;

S1: Sub keeper
S2: Sub defender
S3: Sub DM/ fullback
S4: Sub AM
S5: Sub Striker

I also do this for euro games, but I assign 6 and 7 to the next best players in the squad. If I accidentaly assign them incrrectly, even if I have chosen the five correct players, I have to rearrange them to my system.

I always try to sign players that can cover 2 positions for my 1st team 11, ie a defender DRC who is good in central defence but also as a right back or a WBL/ML who can cover left back or left midfield.

just to keep my first team squad down to the minimun players to avoid dropping players from the bench
