Soccer's 4-4-2 System https://www.amazon.com/dp/1591640652/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3XC6AbJ73N3VS

This on really help develop my 442 tactic. I don’t use that formation anymore but when I did it was pretty good.

This series of formation books are all nice.

Inverting the Pyramid is an amazing book and will change the way you look at the sport but it won’t help with tactics as it’s more the evolution of them.
If you find it interesting then you can go further and get Soccernomics, Why Everything You Know About Soccer is Wrong and Money and Soccer. Who knows, they might actually change the way you approach FM.

I've always been interested in economic theory... some of my thoughts in the game design document were around having two types of economy: a global economy and a local one. I wanted this to have an effect on the player in terms of the strength of the league (i.e. how much money was coming out of TV rights, attendances, demand for the product etc). A weaker league gives team less chance of buying top quality players resulting in lesser ability to compete globally without huge investment from the player etc.

I'm not sure how to tie this into the game without making it too complicated but I did buy a book on game mechanics (http://www.amazon.com/Game-Mechanics-Advanced-Design-Voices/dp/0321820274) so I've been studying the mechanics behind some popular MMO / tycoon type games.

There's a really cool tool by the authors of the book I just linked:
http://www.jorisdormans.nl/machinations/

I've used that in the GDD to simulate a few of the sources / drains / converters in the game... balancing the game and making it enjoyable is going to be a real challenge. I'm concentrating on getting the basics of match simulation and a stable server for hundreds of connections before I start with the actual game mechanics itself but something I'm really looking forward to!

Read the manual.

Inside of it, there is a ton of advice on playing the game beyond simply cataloging what options do what.

Then you can read the following for in depth advice and tips:

FM First Team Unofficial Football Manager 2011 Guide

A decent free guide. The website of the guys who made this is gone... Uploaded it for everybody.

Tactical Theorems '10

This was made for 2010, but is still very very very relevant. On other forums, people will usually just tell you to read it.



There are tons of guides out there for every possible aspect of the game. I found the following useful:

Lower League Guide

Financial Guide

Understanding Tactics and the 'Manchelona'

The above site has several other guides worth reading. Check it out.



Also, beyond the above FM specific stuff, there are a number of books out there that can help you in FM:

The 90 Minute Manager

Soccer Systems and Strategies

there are a lot of comments in the "new laptop" thread on the FM official forums. start from the last page. you can find deals for laptops with an i5 processor under or around 500$. i would suggest you to take such a deal. example of such a deal. in FM the most important things are cpu then memory then gpu. with an i5 you are good to go. the best choice would be finding a laptop with both an i5 + dedicated GPU within your budget.

The above listing is for new version of the game. If you're okay with used CD version, then [click here] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B003Z6QJKQ/ref=olp_f_new?ie=UTF8&f_all=true&f_usedLikeNew=true&f_usedVeryGood=true)



Note: FM2011 can be activated through Steam or can be played using Disc, so buying a used one will work fine.

If you can, get this book. It seems to be written about exactly what you want to write about, and is a really fun read.

Amazon Books - Football Manager Stole My Life: 20 Years of Beautiful Obsession.

You're not alone. It's not uncommon to hear people dress up in suits for finals, or sink into depression, or lose jobs/releationships, just to get through another season.
