michaeltmurrayuk Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've just found an interesting loop hole - I have a transfer budget of zero, yet I've just managed to sign a player for £2.5K over 4 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithers Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Some good news and some bad news to end the night with: Good - two 3-0 wins against Thurrock and Havant, and a draw against Forest Green have taken us up to 6th in the league. Bad - my only DMC, the player my whole tactic revolves around, is out injured for 5 weeks. Plus I still don't have a decent striker to partner Lee Steele (but if he can keep up his current form that shouldn't matter too much). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 In addition to techniques already mentioned... It's also pretty useful for poor sides to search for players with a value of £0. This will cover all players out of contract and players still at clubs who are available for free. It's also worth bidding nothing on low valued players, teams often sell them just to save their wage budget. I'm sure all us regular Dafuge's challengers have so many systems for rooting out obscure players that we don't even realise! The first thing I tried to do was sign Kyle Wilson, but his side wanted £12k for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStoneMonkey Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Ok, I'm finally in. Reloaded a few times, and got Nantwich. Used to knock about in the town centre as a young 'ooligan, so thought I'd give something back to the locals by guiding their team to glory. Up the Dabbers!

michaeltmurrayuk Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Nantwich - October 2010 I figure ten games in is as good a place as any to finish for the night. It's been a busy three months - 22 players have been signed, three of them on loan and 13 shipped out, rather telling is that my first signing Marlon Beresford was given 4.5 starts upon signing, he now only rates 2 stars. I also have 6 Scottish players, which I'm pretty sure is more than I had in total on FM09 at FC United. We didn't get off to the best of starts in the league drawing to a Gainsborough side managed by Brian Little - new Striker Fitzharris scored on his debut, but then got sent off, and to make matters worse Gainsborough's goal came in the 89th minute. The second game didn't go to well either as we lost to newly promoted Bradford PA 2-0, not helped by my first choice strikers being suspended and injured. Though we finally found our feet winning our next three games in a row, before Stafford held us to a draw thanks to a wonder strike, we followed that game with a win over Droylsden before falling to 10 man Hinckley 2-1 (rather annoying I had beaten 10 man Hinckley 2-1 before the game crashed on me). That leaves us third in the league after eight games with 14 pts behind Ilkeston (16pts) and newly promoted Merthyr who have 22pts, having won 7 and drawn just once so far, hopefully they cannot keep that up for the rest of the season. Our other two games were in the FA Cup, in the 2nd Qual. round we claimed a 1-1 draw at Northwich before beating them 2-1 in the replay, will I embark on an unheard of for me FA Cup run this time around...

DizzyIzzyB13 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Since it's 4:45am, maybe the forums will be quiet enough to let me post my profile at, like, the 7th attempt... After ages of reloading looking for a sub-1000 team, I eventually settled for Chippenham Town, one of the few 1000 teams I managed to get promoted. Yay.

Annihilator666 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Bah, it was all going so well but all of a sudden I've lost 6 in a row and am now 19th, just outside the relegation zone. I've tweaked my tactics a bunch of times and nothing seems to work. Gonna start a new 4-5-1 tactic from scratch rather than 4-4-2 to see if I can pick up a much-needed win.
