Easy big wins
On match today create a manager and put him in the team you are gonna V.S. When you choose the team and put all the of the players in the Attacking positions and put an arrow on the goalie pointing to one of the far corners.

Real players
Due to licensing some National Teams don't have proper players (Germany for example)

To get rid of this go to "C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2008/data/db/800/lnc/all" once there copy the file entitled "fake.lnc" (You may wish to put it in a safe place as backup if needed) then delete the file "fake.lnc" and when you start a new game the countries effected will have the proper squad.

All this file does it put a "mask" on the national teams effected and once you remove it will get rid of the mask.

Joke from Sports Interative
If your computer's clock is at April 1st and the in-game clock is at April 1st (i.e. 2009/2010 season at April 1st) then you will receive a message stating your board is willing to offer you £500 million in transfer funds and a new season. Depressingly, when accepted it's revealed to be a little April Fools joke from Sports Interative.
