CPS Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I am 2 games a way from an unbeaten season! (Penalty shoot out losses don't count right ). I can honestly never remember doing that in any CM/FM game - Lorient at home in a meaningless league game and a slighty trickier task against Real in the CL Final. dz47 - this is my 5th season so will maybe give you an indication that the game does get easier the further you get into it and Lovren is the only non French national I have, the first couple of seasons are a good challenge though and the CL still is. You'll find that the AI French clubs get pillaged of their top talent within 2-3 years making your job that bit easier i.e. Sakho, Gignac, Sissoko, Hoarou, Remy, Gourcuff, etc will move on. Still a very enjoyable game and one I'd certainly recommend but, like joe, I think I'll be looking to start a new game after this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGougan33 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I stopped my Lyon save after 3 seasons, thats all it took me to win the CL so i went to pastures anew ( or old, back to my beloved celtic ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisandro Lopez Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hi guys,I’m seriously thinking about starting a save with Lyon. This would be my first in the French league, and I would like it to be a pretty long one. I’m just interested to know if it becomes too easy to win Ligue 1, and therefore a bit boring with the Champions League the only real challenge? Cheers. Depends how hard you make your challenge it can become easy, but it differs on each save. It's enjoyable none the less. Welcome and good luck if you do decide to give it a go. I'll still read this thread etc btw, you've not lost me completely Damn. Good luck with your other saves Just finished my first seasn. I seem to remember that imageshack had a program that you downloaded and then presses cntrl+u or something and it took the screen shot and gave you your link all at once.

CPS Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm getting the impression that Obertan is a bit of a flat track bully, he scored 4 against Lorient in my last League game but often goes missing in the really big matches. His form against lesser clubs, especially at home, is absolutely imperious though. Dodgy 'Important Game' and 'Consistency' stats perhaps?

ChefRobGaming Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 so far in my game its going well in the champions league qualifier, Im 5-1 up from the first leg over celtic but league form is a bit dodgy, after 3 games Im 9th drew 2-2 with le mans then I beat my new affilate club valenciennes 6-1 then lost 4-2 to auxerre, celtic up next. transfers in so far abou diaby 5m adrien 2.5m serge aurier 1.6m lucas digne 2.5m all over 48months players out sold eric tie bi to bologna for 200k loic abenzoar to metz for 325k plus 50% sell on anthony lopez to nice for 95k plus 50% sidney govou to west ham for 5m plus 50% cesar delgado to spartak moscow for 5m plus 50% plus i released a bunch of the kids are they are crap beat celtic 6-0 so 11-1 on agg to qualify and was given this group Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPS Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Champions League Final 2014 Great way to end the season and a very dramatic game too with a Lyonnaise boy getting both goals. Thought we were sunk until Lloris thumped forward a goal kick, Casillas raced out to intercept for no apparent reason only for Lacazette to nip in first and tap into the unguarded net. Into extra time Obertan (how did I doubt him!) produced a marvellous assist, skinning two defenders and giving Lacazette a tap in for his second. Lloris then made 3 great saves towards the end as we scrambled over the line. Final Ligue 1 Table A very dominant season, was fun watching this team play - the amount of management involved was pretty minimal. I think because the squad had gelled so well and morale being permanently high played a major role in the success. We also picked up the Super Cup, French Cup and the World Club Cup. Goalscorers Here are all the players who found the net for me in all competitions: 21 - Ishak Belfodil 19 - Yaya Sanogo 17 - Gabriel Obertan 10 - Yohan Mollo 9 - Josua Guilavogui 8 - Magaye Gueye, Yannis Tafer, Damien Le Tallec 7 - Alexandre Lacazette, Wahbi Khazri, Miralem Pjanic, Kevin Gameiro 4 - Cheick Doukoure, Clement Grenier, Maxime Gonalons, Dejan Lovren 2 - Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik, Abdel El Kaoutari, Sebastien Corchia, Yann M'Vila 1 - Lucas Digne, Tripy Makonda, Amine, Lamine Gassama, Mathieu Bodmer Key Players 1. Miralem Pjanic - 40 (1) games, 7 goals, 21 assists, 9 MOM, 8.09 average - Just a great player. Best midfielder in the game imo 2. Gabriel Obertan - 39 (3) games, 17 goals, 7 assists, 6 MOM, 7.56 average - Underrated winger. Definitely not a flat track bully 3. Ishak Belfodil - 20 (13) games, 21 goals, 6 assists, 5 MOM, 7.55 average - Barely played in the early part of the season but great, prolific 2nd half 4. Yaya Sanogo - 31 (2) games, 19 goals, 7 assists, 2 MOM, 7.51 average - A young Drogba? In any case he's a very effective battering ram of a striker 5. Josua Guilavogui - 38 (1) games, 9 goals, 2 assists, 2 MOM, 7.45 average - Strong young CB with a knack for converting corners and free-kicks That's it I think, I may come back to this save but, if not, its been a lot of fun.

I've been tinkering with a 4-2-3-1 at the moment but I'm still unsure. The team I have hasn't changed much so the regulars are there.

Gomis been rubbish for me for some reason, I made a huge mistake I left out Reveillere of my CL squad what the heck was I thinking doh ok so I just got to my 1st cl game against man utd and the scouting report comes up for Man Utd says injured players van der sar, hargreaves, rafael, foster, obertan then says unavailable scholes, de ceglie, nani, macheda and de laet ok so who the heck is going to play lol interesting oh well game went ok i guess lost 3-2 rooney double and ji sung park for them and lopez and vidic og for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilo_G Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Yes He's doing very well for me. Sakho is a new arrival so I din't want to throw him in front of the Devil's attack on his first competitive game as he is still blending with the squad. One misplaced pass could have cost me the game. Curtis Davies had just returned from injury, and I didn't have anyone else. Caldwell has been incredibly useful and of course he is home-grown at my club, which helps. I've yet to see him make a fool of himself and I've had him for just over a year. Best free signing I have ever made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
