Just starting third season.

Fabregas seems to be out of bounds, I've tried to ffer my whole transfer budget on him but never seems to be enough, really really want him bad!

On a good note, won the CL and Premiership last season, mainly thanks to my star signing, Fred (32m), but still looking for a star to hold in midfield now, trying for Xabi Alonso.

GK - Ochoa, Cudicini, Enyeama

LB - A Cole, Bridge

RB - D Alves, Richards, Musacchio

CB - Terry, Garay, Alex, Breno, Richards, Musacchio, Pichu Atienza

DM - Banega, Veloso

Had to sell Cech contract was coming to the end wouldnt sign a new one! Got £30mill for him off United and brang in Ochoa for £8.5mil.

Why am i in debt? ..wage budget + £746k so wage budget is fine and still got 700k left from £54 transfer budget. How do i get out of debt? any help would be good! Cheers

nice signings. very different. hows pele doing? and let me know how Atienza gets on. its weird when i look at the euro's i think you paid loads but then realise its not that much lol.

hows the season going? i see your 1st in your screenshot hope you keep it up!

erminio rizzo

Big mix up here mate! loving it! some great signings. Felipe is brilliant for my lyon side.

im suprised you sold kalou for that little though.

the only improvement i think you can make is another striker to replace anelka, personally i would have kept drogba at least for 1 season but you got a decent price for him so no worries.

its a shame you dont play wingers because malouda is an assist genius!

i think as selling carvalho you need better back up for terry and felipe, alex can do it but nothing special and ben haim the same.

hows the results going?

They aren't doing too bad only had a couple of games thus far but are averaging 7+

i wanted to keep the senior squad realsitic for atleast the first season and not bring in 7 or so players and break up the make up of the squad.

i also just brought Guilherme from Cruzeiro for just under $10 mil but i don't want him until next season

This is how im doing so far in the league

tableof9.th.png

I lost to Pompey in the League Cup (3rd Rnd - penalties)

and im in the Champions League with Sevilla, Lazio & Rangers

drew with Sevilla and just beat Lazio, so im on track to proceed there

ah cool mate. guilherme was a beast on my man city game so hopefully will be great for you.

yeah i always do that sign and sell loads of players. unlucky with the pompey game bet the board will be on your back about that for months to come.

united just dont lose on my game! this is my table...

scr125352f1rf6.th.jpg

as you can see im unbeaten so far but still 5 points off top as i have drawn so many games! just not scoring as many as i would like really. but not conceding many which is good!

hope you keep it up mate and keep updating me.

who did you bring in yourself mate? who was there from when you took over? how were they doing before your managment? got a pretty good team, i would replace carvalho, drogba, ballack and lampard as they will be getting on a bit might be the last season you can get some decent money for drog carv and ballack.

how you doing yourself?

this is my team and tactic. i am playing the same one for lyon and barcelona and have no trouble scoring so i think its jsut my strikers! they don't have trouble in the champions league but in the league they do! scored 26 in 6 games in the CL group stage!!

scr128470bcjf8.th.jpg

i think it might be something to do with my african players being away essien, mikel, gyan, kalou and drogba all goalscorers!

but i am unbeaten just drew to arsenal away 1-1 so 7 points off united rooney just too over rated

he is never ina million years going to score 30 in a season IRL!

mate why do you have giles barnes in your reserves! give him games in the 1st team! hes amazing!

personally i would put richards in the centre and use ivanovic right back hes been amazing for me!

you should bring in diego and lulinha, we are interested in both

Link to post
Share on other sites

ah cool. i mainly said diego and lulinha because you want to keep it realistic and we are interested in the IRL

i would buy either to be honest. lulinnha is good but could be pretty poor depending on his PA on your game.

Diego is a good buy but if you are keeping frank and you have barnes i don;t think you need another AMC but as you play 3 and all are getting ona bit. diego could be a good buy for you
