Jimbokav1971 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 poyplemonkeys. It comes up at the bottom of the page. I think what might have happened is that you clicked on it by mistake and then moved the mouse and therefore the selections without knowing. It looks to me like you've clicked on the "highest expectations". Sorry. I would guess that you will get sacked as you will not be able to deliver unless you perform miracles. Did you save after taking over? I have learn't the hard way. Save 1. The day before the new league starts. Save 2. The day that I take over at new club. Save 3. 1 month on. Save 4. 2 months on. Save 5. 3 months on. Saves 3, 4 & 5 then alernate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the board claims that you can be the winner of the league, than they don't let you choose any achievement level. They just expect you to win. For example when you take control of Fenerbahce in Turkey, the board expects you to win the league so no options show up. But this shouldn't be the case for a newly promoted side. Anyway.

Jimbokav1971 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Jimbo, is it luck, or is it faith. I just signed Andrew Bond (ex-Barrow) his contract was to expire, and he signed for me!! foost. I've signed him too, but I must admit that he doesn't get many games. He's good to have on the bench because he can cover DR & MC and my MC's seem to collect cards like they are going out of fashion. I've also played him at MR too. He's more of a back-up player as I have some VERY good wide players, but I wouldn't have a problem if I needed to play him. He's actually starting my next game at DR, although I prefer to play him on the bench. I've also signed Butler and Brown who were at Barrow. Butler is a decent squad player but Brown can't even get on the pitch when my 3 best wingers are injured . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbster Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Managed to get West Ham as a parent club for Hendon, and amazingly the only player offered to me has accepted. I now have for the season Kyel Reid, who according to my ass man would be a "leading star for any Championship side". I seem to be buying older youth to complement my existing 16 year olds, so not sure how I will do. Havent had a friendly yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveHammer Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Currently holidaying and this will be my 4th attempt a the Dafuge challenge. I have never completed the challenge but did get Braintree, Chelmsford and last year Bromley all to the premier league and even won it with Braintree. Just hope i can go one better this time. Would like the challenge of a sub 1000 team but i've waited 2 versions for Chelmsford(nearest town and where i work) to be at their home stadium so I have to be them. Good luck to all, and here's to another exciting long term game. Will post opening screenshot shortley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyisalegend Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 reoaded about 30 times hoping for Ossett Town but its not meant to be it seems so have gone with Kings Lynn. This is the 1st time have done this challenge and to behonest im not expecting to do too well but we will see, anyway profile squad info So im expected to finish 17th but ill be happy with 20th.

Jimbokav1971 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 ManU@oldtrafford Joey Hutchison. Sag Burton. Anthony Charles. Tony Crane. To be honest there are loads but it depends what you want him to do. My advice is sign some slow old fat blokes who will win everything in the air and play a deep defensive line and their lack of pace shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Gilbster Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 First competitive match, I lose 2-0 and have 2 players sent off. Maybe I will actually have to look at the tactics in this version, and try and figure some basics out. I rarely touch tactics normally, but I dont want lots of red cards when I have next to no back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scab Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Pre-season. I'm not sure if I should be happy or disappointed by this.

ScottishSteven Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Well, after enjoying last year's challenge so much, I'm back again for this one in the hope of actually completing it! After about 20 reloads, I finally settled on the lowest rep team I could find - ]Mangotsfield United!![/url] Wish me luck folks, as it looks like I'm going to need it. No players or staff, except 5 youngsters just added to the squad from the youths, it's going to be tough!! On a plus note, I have Cheltenham as a Parent club, and I was just able to ask for a second one? Doubt I'll get one, but it bodes well for future seasons... Good luck everyone, all the best! p.s.
