1. OHM's Introduction:
----------------------
Hello, within 2 days, now, I'm writing back with my third FAQ. Maybe this is
also another simple FAQ you've ever found on Internet. But for me, I want to
make it short and simple, not forgotten, I want to make it accurate too..
(Sorry, this introduction is similar with 2002 FIFA WORLD CUP FAQ).
Forgive me because I'd release the 2002FWC FAQ early than this one. How
poor?! :( I decided to write this FAQ because in my inbox, there are many
question about FIFA 2002 and 2002FWC. For me, these two games has their
advatages and disadvantages. The skills in these two games are same. Trust me,
if you can master FIFA 2002, there is no problem to master 2002FWC.
Overall, Electronic Arts successfully improve their game by year to year. The
game play become more interesting and the graphic become more detailed and
sleek. (Once again... the statement is similar.. forgive me, because I have no
additional idea to express the superior quality of EA products.. he..he..he).
For your information too, as the FIFA 2002 and 2002FWC has a similarity,
I hope you just consider that this FAQ is a complement to the 2002FWC FAQ.
The differences between both of game are not included in this FAQ. You as a
player can make your own inference. So, don't ask me about that.
I hope you enjoy reading this FAQ. If there is any grammatical mistake, please
forgive me, and if you have any suggestion please not to shy to mail me.
You will get a credit. This I promise you. I really enjoy the music track by
GORILLAZ in FIFA 2002.. he..he..he..

--------------------------------------------

A: When you sprint, watch out to the opposite player at the back, and then,
simply move to opposite direction before you try to shoot or pass the ball
to another player.

after the player makes a special movement. (Make sure you not do this skill
too close with the goalkeeper.)

9. OHM's Strategy:
-------------------
a. 4-4-2 (4 Defenders, 4 Midfielders, 2 Strikers)
=================================================
Normal formation, many football teams use this formation and maybe this
formation also suitable to you. :)
b. 4-5-1 (4 Defenders, 5 Midfielders, 1 Striker)
================================================
This formation suitable for team that has many top-quality midfielders (e.g.
Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan, Lazio). This strategy very useful for
gamers who like to attack from the middle of the field.
c. 5-3-2 (5 Defenders, 3 Midfielders, 2 Strikers)
================================================
Suitable when you decide to secure your win. the defenders will try to block
the strike from the opponents. I recommend you to place one last man and 4
defenders.
d. 5-4-1 (5 Defenders, 4 Midfielders, 1 Striker)
================================================
Hmm.. Use this strategy when you decide to secure your win and by the same
time, you want to add more goals.. :)
e. 3-4-3 (3 Defenders, 4 Midfielders, 3 Strikers)
=================================================
When the opponents lead you with 2 or 3 goals, hmm.. the best way to make sure
you can win the match or just want to equalize, try this formation. It's very
suitable for counter-attack strategy. But be careful, if the opponents can
move more than the middle of the field, maybe it can become a problem to you.
f. 3-5-2 (3 Defenders, 5 Midfielders, 2 Strikers)
=================================================
Hmm.. You want to make a counter-attack but you don't want to let opponent
players move more than the middle of the field huh.. All right, try this
formation, many midfielders will block the strike from the opponents.
g. 4-3-3 (4 Defenders, 3 Midfielders, 3 Strikers)
=================================================
This formation suitable for the team that have many strikers and many
midfielders (e.g. Lazio, Liverpool). Have a similarity as 4-4-2 formations.
