Communication and Psychological Warfare ’10 is an in-depth guide to all matters of squad management, it takes you from the match day team talks through to the post match press conference and beyond.

The guide is meant as a learning aid - teaching readers the importance of player personality and how to motivate players with different needs and desires. By taking you through the most important aspects of this player management system, you will be able to define your own strategies for building dynasties in your FM2010 career saves.

We’ve spent the past two years refining and researching, building on CPW ’08 as the base. Now, we’re finally in a position to release our 75+ page eBook, very much in the same vein as Tactical Theorems’ 10 and with many of the same key authors.

However, this release is not free and costs £7.95. We realise that this is something of a rarity in the scene and that a number of people in the community will immediately refuse to pay for any content. We totally understand that position, and would not want to argue against you. What we are trying to do is to rebuild FM-Britain so that we can produce much better content in the future for our readers. Obviously, we could just plead poverty and place a massive “donate” button on the site; but by releasing a guide, we can actually hand over a product to show our gratitude to those who want to support the site.

We will never stop producing high-quality free content. Nor would we want to. But by financing new software on the site and giving our authors some compensation for their time, we hope this paid product will produce even better and even more free content for all to consume.

There is absolutely no obligation to buy the guide, and we fully respect the decision of anyone who refuses point-blank to pay for anything in the FM community. We do hope, however, that a number of you will support the site and the efforts of its authors.

We cover a number of topics in CPW ’10:

The Psychological Warfare Campaign:
Increasing match performance, managing your team on and around the big match

Match Build Up:
Preparation, current form, strengths & weaknesses, dangerman, tactical approach, individual form & injuries

The Match:
Understanding the tools; player ratings, morale, motivation, positive, negative and questionable feedback

The Dressing Room:

Post Match Reactions:
Post-match press conferences, fining players, dealing with red cards, fitness and form management

Squad Management:
Day-to-day morale maintenance; commenting on a player’s form

Building Harmony:

Managerial Warfare:

CPW ’10 is available to purchase and includes a 2.5 hour audio version of the guide. In the audio version, the authors don’t just simply read out the eBook verbatim but discuss the key issues in each chapter, providing much more in-depth explanations of certain topics and even passing on some advice which didn’t make it into the print version.

Matt vom Brocke (The next Diaby), Thomas Levin (Levo) and myself have tried to cram as much in as we possibly could. We’re sure that many people in the community have also produced a lot of good work on man management, and we hope that this guide acts as an accompaniment to, not a replacement for all of that information.
