weeeman27bob Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Welcome to the FM09 Liverpool Thread Stadium - Anfield Captain - Steven Gerrard Vice Captain - Jamie Carragher History If it wasn't for one man, Liverpool Football Club would never have been born. When Everton left Anfield in a dispute over rent in 1892, club chairman John Houlding stayed behind along with a handful of supporters and just three first-team players. But he was determined to see football continue at the ground. He formed a new club from scratch, chose the name Liverpool… and created a legend.

Might not be the best, but doesn't need replacing Cavalieri - Not brilliant, but certainly not bad. Very good backup Itamdje - Not very good, and you could probably do with selling him Overview - No new players needed. Itandje can be sold. Centrebacks Carragher - One of the league's best centre back but is getting old Agger - A young centre back who is good on the ball as well as in defence Skrtel - Like Agger, a young player who will only get better Hyypia - Very old but despite that can still perform. Overview - A solid area although a new quality young player would be good Full Backs Degen - A backup player at best Aurelio - The best of the full backs although not great Arbeloa - Is the best right back, but could probably be replaced Dossena - Good in attack, not so good in defence Insua - A very good prospect although probably shouldn't start games yet Overview - One of the weaker areas of the team, needs improving. Defensive Midfielders Mascherano - One of the best defensive midfielders in the world Alonso - A very creative player, more of a centre midfielder than a DMC, but very good Lucas - A young player who will get better but won't challenge the other two. Overview - A very good area of the team Attacking Midfielders Gerrard - One of the best midfielders in the world. Can also play CM, or DMC Babel - Young, but has brilliant stats for his age. Gets a lot better. Can also play FC Kuyt - A real work horse although doesn't have lots of skill on the ball, scores quite a few goals. Can also play FC Benayoun - A good player technically, although getting quite old. Very versatile. Pennant - Pretty useless. One to sell Riera - Very good with the ball on the left wing. Overview - A good area but only one standout player Strikers Torres - One of the best strikers on the game. Will score lots of goals. Praising him helps! Keane - A good player although not in the same league as Torres N'Gog - A young player with great potential Strikers overview - A good strike force, although could do with another striker of Torres' quality Improvements Goalkeeper (GK) - Asenjo, Renan Centreback (DC) - Fazio, Sakho, Hummels Right Wingback/Fullback ( D/WB R) - Rafinha, Santon Left Wingback/Fullback (D/WB L) - Mathieu, Grosso Defensive Midfielder (DMC) - Veloso, Bodmer Centre Midfielder (MC) - Veloso, Moutinho Attacking Midfielder (AMC) - Fernandez, Arshavin, Deigo Left Wingers (AML) - Fernandez, Young, Mata Right Wingers (AMR) - Higuain, Cazorla, Young Strikers (ST/FC) - Podolski, Higuain, Aguero, Obertan Young Players - Balotelli, Santon, Fleck, Baxter, Vela Have fun playing with the best team in the league. It will be a struggle against the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal, but we all know who is going to come out on top at the end of the day. Don't be afraid to post, we don't bite!

weeeman27bob Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 That's a great thread that Bob Thanks for the mention at the bottom as well haha Same here really good thread:) and thanks for the mention also Thanks guys. Anyway onto more pressing matters. How are your games going? and who have you signed. I've played all my friendlies, won all but one, but am being hit quite hard by injuries ( which appears to be a bug) I've got 5 first team players out: Kuyt,Gerrard,Torres,Keane and Alonso. It's leading to some interesting formations. I'm trying to sign Huntelaar after selling Itandje and Pennant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfc7 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 What tactic are you using ? the one am using isnt too bad but is conceding a few and dosent use wingers so cant play Riera:( am on my 5th friendly and have won 3 drew 1 and am winning my 5th My signings L.Diarra-6.25m Marcelo-4.4m M.Fernandez-10m S.Aguero-38.5m Transfer out Itandje-1.6m Benayoun-4.3m(cant believe i got money for him) I went a bit mad going in the red but as its only a half season game am just trying things out Really loving the 3D You can get Giovinco for 7m and Defour for 10m if anybody is interested Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan99 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Ask for more, you get around £15m. I've got Diarra for £5.5m, then got Marcelo on loan. I've sold Itanje, Kuyt, Arbeloa and Aurelio. I'm trying out a 3-4-1-2 tactic, so no need for right and left backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirko_jr Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It's quite easy to dump ***** out of the club. So my tranfers so far were: OUT: benayoun - 10m pennant - 8.75m aurelio - 9.5m itandje - 2.2m IN: defence: marcelo - 5.5m mid: fausto rossi - 3.5m lasssana diarra - 4.4m giovinco - 6.5m atack: balotelli - 11m p.s. whoever you put on transfer list, man city will buy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam =D Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It was always hard to offload Benayoun in the last game. When my demo works, I might look at bringing the Sangria drinking Garcia home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeeman27bob Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'm going for: Agureo,Fernandez,Marcelo,Rafinha, another centre back, and possibly another midfielder.

weeeman27bob Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 I don't think it works, this international thing. I've tried to sign Agureo, Fernandez and Rafinha, but it always says i don't have enough funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
