My favourite features in FM2008

After playing FM 2008 for some time now, I’ve discovered some cool features that are essential and benefits my game, here's a look at what they are:
Player Tutorial
I know its been introduced before but it is still working perfectly although its very hard to link a top player and the youth to avoid personality differences, to know if the top player will benefit the youth and so on. What I do usually is to link with the player whom I think would benefit him technically and with the same position.
But mostly all came back feeling unsure and did not benefit as much although 1 or 2 did learn some tricks. Those who came back on the positive note was all of my young strikers.
Move to Reserves Until Match Fit
I am unsure if I’ve seen this on FM 2007 but this is a small yet important feature. Every time an injury happens, I quickly use this feature so that once they have recovered from injuries, they will have some reserve games until Match Fit. Neat!
Move to Affiliated Club
There can only be 2 reasons for this. Firstly I use it for Work Permit reasons. Be sure your Affiliated club is good enough to give them nationalities within 3 years which I think is the minimum. Would be awesome to find a country that gives out citizenship within a year or two, if you found it, LET ME KNOW!
Second reason will definately be giving our Future Stars some chance on competitive football. Some players do come back with improved attributes but it may take at least 3 seasons.
Hints & Tips while Loading + Statistics
I find this another fantastic small addition yet useful to any managers. The hints and tips which can be found too on this site, has made me a better manager. Some cool tips I remembered were useful are:
Passing style and tempo are linked. A short passing game works best with a slower tempo, whilst a direct, counter attacking style needs to be swift and quick.
So if you found any cool features, share them right here!
