The following is a great set of players to have on Manager mode.
These players are quality buys if you can get them quite cheap and
you are looking for players who develop into the 96+ category overall
rating. To find the best players, do a search for all players aged
between 16 to 19. You can find some 17 or 18 year olds with a rating
of 90. These players only cost about $7 million because of their age,
and you can make them worth about 40 in a season if the play well for
you.

Goalkeeper - Bruno (Brazilian)
Defense - Micah Richards
Defense - Vincent Kompany
Defense - Sergio Ramos
Defense - Dani Alves
Defense - Gareth Bale
Defense - Raul Albiol
Midfield - S. Aleksander
Midfield - Fernando Gago
Midfield - Francesq Fabregas
Forward - Cristiano Ronaldo
Forward - Nani
Forward - Sergio Aguero
Forward - Created player (do not give him too many defense points
as they do not really improve the overall rating for a striker)
Forward - Lionel Messi

Manager mode: Spending experience points:
-----------------------------------------
In Manager mode, access the experience points menu. Near the top
of the screen is an option you can toggle if you wish to have the
experience points spent automatically. Turn the autospend off.
Save up until you have about 40,000 experience points, or roughly
a third of a season. Then, go back into the menu where you spend
your points. You can spend a lot more points in one go. This makes
it easier to decide what aspects of a player to upgrade. When you
have 40,000 experience points, turn on the auto spend.
The CPU spends the points better if there are more to spend.

Fifth difficulty level:
-----------------------
Successfully complete all challenges listed in Challenge mode from any two
zones to unlock the fifth difficulty level.

Be a pro Co-op season:
----------------------
Midfield is easy because you can stay up front like a striker or go in to
defence if you prefere defending and the tasks will be easier.

The Best Team for 4-3-3:
------------------------
If you are going to start manager mode then use these players in the 4-3-3
formation.(Before going to manager mode, go to club transfers and move all
of the players needed to your team that you are going to use)

GK-Buffon
RB-Sergio Ramos
RCB-Nesta
LCB-Terry
LB-Abidal
RCM-Essien
CM-Pirlo
LCM-Gerrard

The best way to earn money in carrer mode is to scout out players and sell them.
I did this when I was playing with AC Milan so I don't guarantee it for smaller clubs.
Avois playing the scouted player salary by putting them in the shortlist and signing
them in a transfer period. Good luck.


Fifa 2008 Best Team:
--------------------
Submitted by: Ales

Best team (3-4-3) formation

GK : Neuer 90 (although i've heard nelsen from bristol gets to 99)
LCB: Ramos 94-95
CB : Mertesacker 93-94
RCB: Obi Mikel 92
RM : Ronaldo 98
CM : Fabregas 96
CM : Essien 92
LM : Jesus Navas 97-98
LS : Dos Santos 97
ST : Alexandre Pato 99
RS : Messi 98

You can play a 3-5-2 formation and put Dos Santos in Atacking Midfield but he's
still 97 so it doesn't matter or messi as attacking mid and he stays 98.

Sometimes players are more than Essiens or Mikels 92 in centre mid or centre back
but their skill in that position fades when they become established in their main role.

There are some players who you can buy cheap in the 1st season of manager mode who
you can sell 4-5 seasons later for 30-60 million pounds. Such as:

Alexandre Pato (AC Milan)
Lennon (Tottenham)
Lulinha
Bojan (Barcelona)
Marcelo Moreno (Cruzeiro)
Carlos Eduardo (Cruzeiro)
Dos Santos
Jesus Navas (Valencia)
Fernando Torres (Liverpool)
Ryan Babel (Liverpool)
Andersen (Man United)
Nani (Man United)
Fabregas (Arsenal)
Denilson (Arsenal)
Brown (Celtic)
Quaresma (FC Porto)
Silva

Hi there, fifa fans from everywhere,i like to play at manager with the low team in 2nd
or 3rd league to promovate in the first league and win all trophy(without leaving on
other team). i will tell you how do do money,it's not a cheat but it's a little trick
to do this: upgrate more you can your negociator,and try to transfer that"free agent"
(it's hard without a good negociator) who have higher skils, no matter sallary you give
him beacause imediatly you transfer it, you will put it on transfer list and you will
earn a lot of money. invest your money in negociator and scout(in that way you will see
the player growth per more years) and 2-3 transfer like this and you will have all player
you want (pato from ac milan in 3-4 years will have skils 99, try to transfeer him faster
you can.and Dos Santos is a good player.). Yeah..that it!

Keeping players longer in Manager mode:
---------------------------------------
Before you start Manager mode with a team, edit the age of the players so they play
longer for your team. For example, with Liverpool's Steven Gerrard (age 28) might play
for five years. However, Steven Gerrard (age 14) will play for at least twenty more
years.

Heyy..
While playing FIFA 08 Use SHIFT key for dribbling & taking tricks with arrow keys
(ball is u'r players legs ).Use SHIFT for keeper charge while ball is u'r opponents
side.And also use the same keyboard button for invite a goalkeeper for heading in a
corner kick.
In manager mode, start with a best team,and first sell some players from u'r team for
facing the financial problem.And buy a player who is under 21 (is good for future)
like PATO, BOJAN,DOS SANTOS,ADU,CICINHO,OCHOA etc..
Substite players regularly for increasing moral and match experiance
(That will use full to selling that player).

Never change club during the end of season.
Use joystick for better gameplay.And change Game speed to FAST.Use tricks in the time
of Freekicks(loke fake shot and lay offman shot).
I wish u a Better gameplay on FIFA 08.

earn easy cash in manager mode. when moving from a club to manage a new club
that have less finances to afford major transfers, reduce all the contracts of
the big stars in your previous club to one year and fail to renew for them.
move to the new club and go to the tranfer window with the little cash available
and go to free agents, the players from your previous club will be listed as
free agents. tranfer them to your new club and sell them at a high price to get
enough funds to manage your new club.


best finishing player:

Finishing is the best player quality when he is alone with goalkeeper beacause
he have more chance to score.
If in the precedent game, "uefa champions league",the best finishing was Nicolai Zigic,
in Fifa 08 the best finishing has Henri,Drogba and Eto'o. And M.Owen from Newcastle have
a good finish too.


To make all your players grow to 90+ in 2-3 seasons:
----------------------------------------------------
Submitted by: Karan Razdan

Before starting the season, go to team management menu and then to edit players and
then select the team you want to use in manager mode. Edit all the players and decrease
their age to minimum(i.e. 18)by making their year of birth 1990. remember after changing
the age of each player you have to click on "save and exit" to save the data that was edited.
after that start the manager mode with the team you selected earlier. Young player grow a
lot with match ex. and grow 2-5 level after every season if they play good.
