cyborgscouse Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Half way point 2 season update: I started the season with a 1:0 defeat to Man Utd in the Charity shield, but took revenge with a 5:0 win over stoke in the first match of the season. That said things didn't work out well for me after that, the season has been more up and down than the first one was, and I've already had more losses so far than I had for the entirety of the first season. Three league defeats in a row at the start of December knocked me off top spot in the league, and with Spurs having a game in hand and only 1 point behind me in third place, there's not going to be room for many mishaps in the new year. The champions league handed me a tough group, Barcelona, Wolfsburg and Besiktas. The only guaranteed points there were the Turkish side, and I knew coming out of the group would hinge on the matches between me and Wolfsburg. Luckily I beat them home and away as well as beating Besiktas, with other results going my way meant I qualified from the group stage in second place with two games to go. Barcelona beat me home and away, 2:1 and 1:0, closer than I thought the matches would be. I've drawn OM in the first round knock out stage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyborgscouse Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I've sold Glen Johnson in the Jan transfer window. City offered ten million, I said no and the next thing Johnson wanted to discuss a new contract, but wanted it increased from the 80k a week to 115k a week. Good footballer or not, he's 28/29 in the game right now, he doesn't deserve to be on the same sort of wage that Gerrard is on, so I offered him out for 17 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Double K Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I sold him at Jan window in 2012 too - he made mistakes and didn't play that good! I've got 4 games left and my next one is against Arsenal, who play Utd after I play them - need to win and hope arsenal lose! Update: Lost 3-2 to Arsenal...van persie is on fire in my game...everything he shoots hits the back of the net...hax. He has 34 goals in 30 apps in the league. So first place is out of the question so now I need to focus on consolidating 2nd. 5 points ahead of 3rd placed City. Update: van persie double sinks utd - arsenal have won the league with 2 games to spare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Double K Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Ended up finishing second - 7 points behind arsenal - damned van persie. plans for sell in transfer window - henderson, adam (deal already in place), carroll, aqua, cole, maybe agger too. plan to buy in transfer window - (already got deals in place for couple of regens) but I want hazard and maybe hamsik or yann m'vila but also want either otamendi or papadoupolous (or maybe both - depends how wilson is) Strikers are covered coz i have suarez, sanogo, niang and fierro + van nistrelrooy.

The worst part about it was three of my strikers picked up injuries, with Suarez out for the rest of the season, so I lost the semi final FA cup match three days later. Gotta focus on retaining the league now, somehow spurs have 4 games in hand over me so they'll be my closest challengers. Also I was wrong about the stadium upgrade, its going to be finished in 2014, and not 2013 like I first thought.

cyborgscouse Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Summer activity season 3: I've told the board to upgrade the youth academy, the training academy and once again I've asked for the stadium to be expanded, though I don't expect that last one to happen, so I'll probably end up waiting until they decide to build a new one in 2000 and never. On top of that I've asked the board to find me another feeder club, and once again selected the option to increase revenue with another country. Last time I tried this they told me I could search for a club myself, but then turned down the Japanese team I selected so I've told them to do it for me. If they find one that'll give me two merchandising feeder clubs, and the one to get around EU permits since I've got a Belgian club on my list as well. The next one I'll go for is to improve my scouts knowledge, and then I'll just go through the list one at a time, my goal is to have a huge affiliate club web like Barcelona do to get the best players in the world when they're young. Even though I've won two leagues in a row and one F.A. cup using my asymmetric 4-2-3-1 I've decided to swap to a 4-4-2, but keep the 4-2-3-1 for bigger teams. I dont think Liverpool were good enough to use a 4-4-2 properly before my third season for a few reasons; first they didn't have the strikers for it, that was taken care of when I bought Rossi, Rondon, Fierro and Flenley came through my youth intake to go along with Suarez. Second and most important, wingers. Liverpool in real life has been a graveyard for wingers all the way back toMcmanaman (spelling? I'll never get it right) but thats been taken care of too, Augusto, Sterling, Griezmann, Nangis, Oxdale Chamberlain and Lewis (my regen) have all boosted my wings to a level they were never at before. Transfers Out Carroll 2.5 million - West Ham: I want him to do well in real life and that carried over to me giving him more chances in the game, but 15 goals in two seasons when he was playing over 30 matches per season was never going to be good enough. He just never seemed to find any vein of form for me, either as a target man in season one or an advanced forward in season two. Carragher free transfer: Liverpool legend through and through, but also extremely limited defender. He played about 5 matches for me over two seasons, Agger and Skrtel are by far better players, Coates has more potential and Kelly could also play as a CB. I tried to make him a coach but he didn't want it, and I tried offering him a new one year deal, but for someone who would be lucky to play 10 games this season at best, the 90k per week he wanted off me was nothing short of a joke. Adler 6 mill -Napoli: Annoying because I got him on a free the season before, but by October he was whining about not playing and yet when he got his chances he was rubbish. Maxi 1.5 mill - Spurs In Antoine Griezmann 20 mill Oxlade Chamberlain 7 mill: Arsenal had him as transfer listed, and lets be honest the kid should grow up to be a beast. Also he goes towards the English quota, and my numbers had dropped with Johnson and Carragher gone. Martinez 2.5 mill - AC Milan Regen from the scouts report he should be as good as Pirlo.

Sabine Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I seriously can't wait for the summer (ingame), so I can try to offload a lot of my players (Kuyt, Carroll, Johnson, Downing, Agger, Suarez, Adam, Bellamy, Doni, Aquaman, Cole etc).. I have some sort of obsession with transforming a club at the beginning of the second season by bringing in talent who are on lower wages and can do the job just right. If I get rid of all these players, I will have gotten rid of around £600k p/w wages and the players I'm planning on bringing in will only be around half of that. So all in all, I'll be under £1million/w wages by the time the season starts. Why am I doing this time around? Because I am a big fan of the financial side of this game and without the Champion's League money and the - £60Million bank balance I'll probably have at the end of the season.. I'll probably not have as much to use in the transfer window in the summer. So an overhaul is needed.

I let carragher go on a free in the second season, like you say 80k a week for someone who wont really play isn't good business sense. Neither is Aquilani, I dont think he's played two games in a row for me without becoming injured so he's rotting in my reserves until his contract expires this summer. Honestly I dont know what to do about Gerrard either, I'm in my third season, he's 4th choice centre mid behind lucas, henderson and shelvey with suso coming through, but he wont accept anything less than 110k a week for a one year extension. He's injured right now, and like carragher I can't see him getting that many games when he comes back either, he also wont accept a coaching role from me just yet, so it looks like he'll be gone on a free too unless someone buys him a month before his contract runs out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabine Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 2011/12 Review Well we won it. In style too. We did have a little drop in form at the end but that was due to me making sure that all of my players got that all important 10 appearances. I am however not happy with how we played against Fulham and QPR (at home too!), it was like the side didn't really want to play anymore and I ended up with 8 players left on the pitch by the time QPR scored their second goal. Else than that, I really have no complaints. We were defensively sound, usually going 3 or 4 games without conceding a goal. Second half season results Domestic Cups We did the treble! And it seemed that it was all too easy in the cups. Although we did get quite lucky with the draws and this is where my future prospect players shined. I also gave Jamie Carragher some games to add some experience to the the young squad. In the Carling Cup, it felt weird starting in the second round but we had an easy time (even with Spurs). Carling Cup Results We eventually faced Everton in the final in a very exciting encounter, I used a slightly more competitive squad (although with still some of the better players of the competition and we soundly beat them 3-1 In the FA cup, we had an even easier ride and only conceded one goal in the competition. FA Cup Results We then faced Blackburn in the final and it took me a while to choose my squad as I wasn't sure if I wanted a strong squad or give some experience to some of the players who played well in the competition. Anyway, we demolished Blackburn 3-0. Players of the Season 3. Adam Johnson - I only bought Adam in the January transfer window after City had transfer listed him. I bought him solely to be my left winger as Downing was injury prone and Bellamy was out with a broken arm. I never expected him to perform THIS well though. 3 goals and a massive 25 assists (most of them from corners and near post crosses), has ensured that he has a place in the team for the next four or five seasons. His wage is a bit of a concern, but I didn't want to risk losing out on his signing so I just gave him what he wanted. 2. Pepe Reina and Luis Suarez - I couldn't decide between Suarez and Johnson but I decided to put him joint second with Reina. Suarez was injured in some parts of the season for a few games but when he came back he wasn't as good, but still played a vital role in the latter months of the season. Pepe was tremendous and it's going to take a lot for Areola to get any sort of spot as the number 1 goalkeeper whilst he was around. 21 Clean sheets, 12 goals conceded in 32 games (Areola having the other 8 games due to giving him experience) is an amazing return. 1. Bashkim Kadrii - Who else? The most inspired bargain I ever signed in any game at a cool £1million. He goes on to score 39 goals in 38 games (I did play him as a ML at some points because of his versatility hence the decent contribution of assists). At the beginning of the season he was 1* CA 2.5* PA, now he's 2.5* CA and 3.5* PA which goes to show that scout reports aren't always what they seem. Honorable mention goes to Jose Enrique, who was the engine of the team, completing 1800 + passes, completing 133 tackles and covered an amazing distance of 415kms, an average of over 10kms per 90 minutes. He is currently wanted by Real Madrid and Bayern, but I am going to try my best to keep him. Awards Impressive haul of awards, especially having six of the 11 in the Premier League team of the year. FWA Footballer of the Year Golden Boot Golden Glove Winner Manager of the Season PFA Premier League Team of the Year. Thoughts for the future Despite the performance of the team, an overhaul is needed. We are £42 million in the red because of lack of Champion's League football and a lot of our players are vastly overpaid. I will be selling off a lot of my squad players and bring in players who are equally as good but are younger and on less wages. I will also be looking to bring a couple of players into the first team squad like Joel Valencia, Raheem Sterling, Moisés and Guiseppe Prestia who were very impressive in the under 18's last season. I had one very good prospect come through the youth intake too, a LB with 3.5* potential although he does seem extremely raw at the moment. I was going to list some of the transfers I've already made but I'll do that in the pre-season review, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD nawrat Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 selling José Manuel Reina to Man City for £39.5M and bringing in Carlos Idriss Kameni for £1.9M. Ouefio is now old enough to start in Champions League games too so both players are going to function on a rotation basis. looking to offload Carragher. he's moaning about not getting first team football so i promised to offload him and then when i offered him out he said he didn't want to leave and was determined to end his career at Liverpool but still wants to be sold... no idea what to do. tempted to terminate his contract because his huge wage is a pain. going to try and sell Johnson at the end of the season because Flanagan is already better and Johnson is a huge leech on my wage budget... considering getting rid of Carroll, Downing and Henderson. my problem with that is that Downing is quality and the other two are promising players, but they're all huge leeches and Downing is quite old. I have Ait Fana and will probably look towards bringing in someone else anyway (for free or for a small fee who is quality). my finance side of the game has been fantastic. I'm currently at (£28.5M) for my net transfer spend and it's going to become more like £60M after Reina goes... I'm enjoying this save a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD nawrat Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 just got knocked out of the Champions League... got 11 points but it wasn't enough to get me through, unbelievably. lost out on head-to-head with PSG because we drew 3-3 in Liverpool but 1-1 in Paris. absolutely unbelievable, can't believe we missed out... I suppose I deserve that for getting rid of Reina, but I'm sure Ouefio will make up for it by being amazing for the next 20 years, so I'm not too bothered in all. I can still win the Europa League, I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 been a busy January for me so far... In: Thibaut Courtois - £4.1M Carlos Kameni - £1.9M André Ayew - £15.75M Erik Lamela - £4.8M (edit) Out: Jose Reina - £39.5M Stewart Downing - £15M Jordan Henderson - £1.2M (loan) Jamie Carragher - Free I'm also trying to bring in Erik Lamela for £4.8M from Roma and Marek Hamsik for £19M from Napoli (both transfer listed). my total transfer dealings for this season (not including Lamela and Hamsik, of course) stands like this: In - £42.5M Out - £103M pretty incredible in my opinion. since I brought in Courtois I will probably get rid of Kameni in the summer. I had already signed Kameni when Courtois became available. I suppose it's not too important which one I have as Ouefio is still going to be my starter regardless, but hey ho, too much quality in one position is rarely a bad thing. EDIT: Hamsik chose Milan over me... no idea why considering they've signed 3 of my players this season and are functioning like a crap version of me. Lamela (who I really want as he's highly promising, is a wonderkid and is a great replacement for Gerrard when he retires) has agreed to sign for me but I've had to appeal his work permit after it was turned down. I hope he gets it on appeal because I don't want to miss out on him. he got it on appeal just been knocked out of the FA Cup in the 3rd round by Man City... dominated the first tie with 68% possession and 5 CCCs but drew 1-1 and I've just lost 2-0 at the Etihad after 90 minutes of being dominated... if I don't win the League/Europa League I'd regard this season as a failure, to be honest. I've gone out of three competitions far too early and I'm very unhappy about it. I have Rangers in the Europa League so I'll coast by them, hopefully... the league is a two-horse race between myself and Man City. After they beat me in Manchester earlier this season they moved ahead of me so they're 1 point ahead of my at the top after 22 (i think) games. My GD is far superior though.

I wouldn't have put Henderson on loan, he's played nearly every match for me and I'm three seasons in. He does well in a centre mid role Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
