Football Manager 2011 - Attribute: Jumping

Type: Physical

Training Category: Aerobic

Description: The jumping attribute defines how high a player can jump in the air from a standing start. It is closely tied to the players height, and in general the higher the player's height the higher the jumping attribute. It is important to note even if a short player has a very high jumping attribute they will still struggle to win the ball against tall player with low jumping.


A high jumping attribute helps you win the ball in the air


Useful for Position: Goalkeepers, Centre Backs, Target Men.

Works well with: Heading, Balance, First Touch, a forward player who is good at jumping as well as these other attributes is a good candidate for a target man, try to play long balls in the air to this player and catch teams on the counter attack.

Pro Tip: When taking corners and set pieces aim your crosses to the player with the highest jumping and heading attributes, they can win the ball in the air and get you a few crucial goals over the course of the season.

LLM - Assistant Manager

Image
So you're now the proud owner of a lower league club with no money or resources. What is the first thing you do? Sack everybody! Your starting staff are going to be complete rubbish and you're going to have to build this club from the ground up. The most important staff member you are going to have is the Assistant Manager, he can do everything: Manages your Reserve and Under 18 team. Scout teams and players. Trains your players. Gives you feedback during matches. Much much more. Your Assistant Manager needs good stats in almost every attribute, now you're not going to get Alex Ferguson so be realistic. After many hours of searching I found Brian Caswell, his stats are all around 10 or so and I think thats the best I'm going to get for a Blue Square North club, he also has some knowledge of a few European countries which can come in handy when scouting players, check him out below.

FM2011 - LLM - Making Money

Ask your board for a Parent Club, not only do you get good players on free loans, you also get paid for the privilege and a money spinning friendly! Pre-season friendlies - before the start of the season go to your reserve team screen and then their fixtures, here you can arrange friendlies.

Do this 5 or 6 times and you've got yourself enough money to get your team through the year. Finally put as much effort as you can in progressing through the FA Cup, aim for the third round and pray you get a big away tie with a Premiership team. Cup games split the gate receipts so if you manage to ge...
