Guest roberto922 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 none of the three you mentioned are in the bottom 3 of their league That rule seems too restrictive to me, would it be better if we made it free choice as to who you take over from any tier below BSN/S?

Wakers Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Emley is very vaguely local to be honest Shame they're not in the bottom three..not sure how that helps, surely it's hard enough whatever team you pick at that level? I would suggest that the only restriction be on teams that have just been relegated from the Blue Square leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yeah, I've found that the sides are fairly evenly matched in the really low leagues. Right you can go for any side below BSS/N from now on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roberto922 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Heh I'm currently in a transfer embargo due to a takeover attempt by a supporters trust, I'm 15th in the NW Counties Division One after 6 games, but I have a game in hand over most of the sides Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Is it tough down there? I can imagine the players being durge It always takes me a while to pick out players in LLM - at first when everyone has stats below 10 for every stat it's hard to pick out your best players!

MachinegunHead Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I'm at Askern Villa in the Northern Counties East Football League Division 1 (Tier 10). Played 3 games and am on 4pts, sitting in mid-table. Not bad, but not good. Only thing worth mentioning is that I picked up a 2-2 draw against the GH Academy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath Matthias Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Wow, the quality is bad. I watched one pass bounce off the feet of another player, as he was looking the other way, constant one-on-one misses, and really bad 2 footed challanges resulting in red cards. Verdict is tho...I LOVE IT! I am kind of crazy that way. Started with the Stone Dominos in Northwest Counties Div 1, only problem I see is a lack of transfers happening. Anyone else see this? Transfers are happening in the top leagues, just not in the drudges of level 10... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roberto922 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Wigan Robin Park FC Update - Season 1 (2009/2010) - Starting Division: NW Counties Div. One (Level 10) Good first season, we were predicted to finish 17th and after losing the first 3 games I felt like we were gonna be rooted to the bottom of the table come May, thankfully performances picked up and we finished 3rd, meaning we were promoted to the NW Counties Premier League NW Counties Division One - 3rd place, Promoted. I was in and around the top spots for the entirety of the season after the initial bad start, mostly 7th/8th before a surge of form in the last 7/8 games pushed us into 3rd. The promotion fight was ridiculously close, with 3 games to go Barnsoldwick were 2nd, they finished 8th. Manager Profile. Star Signing - Michael Hilton - He was an absolute rock in defense, without him we'd probably not be promoted Manager history Season 1 - NW Counties Div 1 - 3rd place - PROMOTED Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakers Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Right, just started getting into it now. Lost the first friendly 1-0 to a vastly superior Brodsworth team before gaining "a historic" 2-0 victory over the GH Academy.

Verdict is tho...I LOVE IT! I am kind of crazy that way. You should try coaching the Under 17s I coach in dublin. Most games are against teams like that, and the referees (let alone the players) are best described as 'aggricultural'. Horrible to play football against!

berty1978 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 My journey starts here, the new manager of Gorleston. I decided to go against my first choice Great Yarmouth and go with rivals Gorleston, purely because having been a couple of times they've got a lovely enclosed ground which wouldn't look too out of place in the BSP with a capacity of 5,000. I guess that gives me an advantage but hey, along with Yarmouth they are my most local club. Predicted to finish 14th out of 19 but I guess the sides are pretty equal at this level.

GreyedOutMan Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I wanted to do this anyway and now that I've seen this, I dont mind doing updates. Have already started a game with Southwick (I'm using a false name because this isnt my "main" game for FM10 - I want to play a big ole' Arsenal game), and my profile is here. Has anyone found a decent skin for FM10? Or backgrounds? Logo packs even? Im in the Sussex County Leagues (Div 2 for now), so thats what I'm looking for but hopefully we might find a mega multi pack to give backgrounds, logos, kits etc for all ten levels?? I'm sure I wont manage this, incidentally. Will probably struggle to get out of the SCL2, but its fun to try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've had a brilliant start so far. Simple tactics and instructions and my team seems to be playing well. 3 wins out of 3 Back room staff are useless though. No one can agree with each other and my scout reports are confusing at best! Why does photobucket make my pictures small? Even when its resized them can hardly read the text, but for other people they seem to be a decent size? Might switch to using tinypic.

GreyedOutMan Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Ive got a friendly against the GH Academy. But it seems they all have contracts there. I thought the idea was that we could freely approach any of those players? Am I wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
