good player guide FM 2010

Name: Carlos Tevez
Club: Manchester City
Position: FC
Role: Defensive Forward
Mentality: Depends - If you are playing against a team with a deep lying playmaker or DM then support. If not Attack
Other Instructions: None

I've had great success playing Tevez this way. Quite often the goals he scores are so simple, intercepting backpasses or taking the ball of defenders. His high workrate and determination means he will not stop chasing and closing down your opponents defence and forcing them into long ball tactics or errors.

Has 7 in 7 for me, unheard of in real life, including some absolute peaches from outside the box.

Name: Craig Bellamy
Club: Manchester City
Position: FC
Role: Target Man

Name: Cristian Zapata
Club: Manchester City (bought him from Udinese)
Position: Central Defender
Role: Central Defender
Mentality: Stopper
Other Instructions: N/A

When it comes to attacking the ball, this guy is your man. Play him alongside a pacey, intelligent Centre Half with a cover mentality and watch him mop up anything that comes in the air. He'll dominate all day and on the very rare occasion he does miss a header, your pacey centre half will mop up no problem. So far for me has an average of 7.56 in 18 games and is my 2nd highest rated player. Just checked his actual stats and he wins 97% of all of his headers and most of the missed one's have come in the oppositions area from corners.
