ballinisahabit90 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Ive just started an Everton game after my Newcastle one was corrupted thanks to my PC turning off during a save! Told the board i would qualify for Europe and asked for the training facilities to be upgraded which was granted, still working on getting the youth done. Transfers In Craig Dawson - £1.5m - a must for me on most saves now, brilliant young player David Bentley - £2m - the squad needs a right winger and Bentleys cheap, him and Drenthe should be handy on the wings Sime Vrsaljko - £3m - Hibbert gone, Neville getting on, this guy can step in from day 1 and play a number of positions well Transfers Out Tony Hibbert - £3m Sylvain Distin - £2m Leon Osman - £4m Victor Anichebe - £1m Loan Fee £3m Future Fee Aspostolos Vellios - Laon Im playing a 4-4-1 with a 4-4-2 backing it up. Pre-season went well winning 7 out of 7, lost Baines for 3 months after he done his hamstring though. Weve jus played our 1st game of the season at Goodison against Man City... We smashed em 4-0 with goals from Stracqualarsi, Baxter and a brace from Barkley after coming of the bench for his debut! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeesterCat Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I got side-tracked by other stuff for the last week or so, but I'm back to pick up the Everton save where I left off and I've settled on a formation and a first team now. I'm using a slightly tweaked version of Elrithals 'Ordinary Tactic' - an attacking 451 with an aggressive pressing game. My team is as follows: GK: Howard DL: Baines DC: Heitinga DC: Yobo DR: Coleman DMC: Ortigoza MC: Cahill MC: Barry AML: Johnson AMR: Poulsen STR: Bangoura Subs are usually: Mucha, Masilela, Distin, Barkley, Davis, Billy, Anichebe. Although results have generally been good since I took over, I think they might not be quite consistent enough to force a way into the top 5 this season so I'm looking forward to a bit of a mini-clearout. I've spotted that Lucas Andersen has got the hump with Wolves and will be leaving on a Free in the summer - I'm already saying how much I want to have his babies in the Press and I'll see if I can get him on a loan for the rest of the season. The game seems determined to make me buy Kieran Gibbs - He's available for just over £1m - worth it as a backup for Baines? My interest in Sturridge seems to have made him decide to stay at Chelsea annoyingly, however Bangoura is a bit of a monster at the moment, so I might be ok for now.

Anxiietyyy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Not a bad start to the season! A 0-0 draw away at the Emirates, a 1-0 win at home to Man City and a hard-fought 2-1 away win in the Merseyside Derby! Here's my First XI and subs, a few cheeky signings in there; Adrien Regattin (who incidentally scored the winner at Anfield) and Benik Afobe both came in on loan, while Carl Hoefkens (recommended by Fellaini) joined for just 575k. I sold Tim Cahill, he's just not that good on FM (for me, at least). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
i3rooker Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 What is Cahill's best position/role? I'm 12 games into the PL won 9 drawn 1 and lost 2 sitting 2nd. Playing 4-4-1-1 and Rodwell has been amazing playing behind the striker, think he has 9 goals in 9. Picking up loads of injuries though Pienaar has had 2 more long injuries since coming back from his one at the start, Cahill was out for a month, Drenthe and Rhodes too as well as numerous under 2 weeks. Diane had been a very good free signing and scored 2 goals in my LC win over City but picked up a 3 month injury the next game. My whole squad is playing well bar Cahill and Pienaar who has only played 2 games as sub. Jelavic could do better but he has 6 league goals. Main reason I'm where I am is because Rodwell is scoring so many and I don't concede many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshace Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 you cancelled neville and mucha's contracts?! surely that should have cost you millions?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeesterCat Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My praising of Bangoura has cursed him and he now resembles Torres. However Anichebe has taken his place at being the monster upfront - he's just brilliant for me at the moment. The shock for me has been how well Jakob Poulsen has been playing - he's scored 9 goals for me in 3 months as a defensive right winger, he's often on the end of Adam Johnson's whipped in crosses as Anichebe creates the space. Finally I marked the end of the Jan 2014 transfer window by taking Lucas Andersen on loan (retraining him as a right winger) and Ciaran Clark for £9mil - Distin's repalcement is sorted with 6 months to settle in. Job done. I'm aiming for it to be a quiet summer 2014 round Goodison as all I really need is another striker and to let the retirees and high earners *cough* Barry *Cough* leave and let the finances settle down. Now I just need to try and secure a European spot... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeesterCat Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Slowly approaching the end of my first season in charge. Two league games left, one of which is very important. Currently in 5th, 2 points ahead of Spurs and our next game is at... White Hart Lane. A proper 6 pointer to try and secure that European spot. However, we've reached the FA Cup. Hooray! Drew for the Semis a Chelsea team which has lost only twice all season and just thumped Man City 4-0 in the CL Semis, so my hopes weren't high. However an OG by Alex in the 3rd minute got us on the way and we won 3-1 in the end - my first Wembley final. Annoyingly though the squad which had done very well at avoiding injuries suddenly started dropping like flies. First team starters Howard, Barkley, Poulsen and Bandalovski are now all injured for the Final. Hopefully we've still got enough in the squad to beat, uhm... Leicester. Edit: FA Cup won. Just.

lil ole me Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I`ve never EVER played as Everton so i thought i would give it a shot.....I managed to get hold of Chamberlain(Arsenal) and Balotelli on season long loan deals and picked up a decent dutch CB and cannot believe how well this side has done so far. I am currently on a 11 match winning league streak at the start of the season after losing the opening game vs Fulham 3-1. Before getting carried away with joy, i feel that a terrible run is just around the corner as i have been very lucky in at least 3 of those victories but hey, thats football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil ole me Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Damn Liverpool!! I managed to win 15 straight EPL games in the 'above' Everton save but then i came unstuck at Anfield of all games. I was 2-0 down at half time and getting pummeled, then something happened mid 2nd half. My players began playing well and i brought it back to 2-2 with an injury time equalizer through Jagielka....only for Kuyt to get the winner in the 3rd min of injury time Oh well, i`m still very much in the hunt for a champions league spot.......come on the toffees Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeesterCat Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 A pretty good transfer window for me in the summer of 2014. In comes: Steven Caulker - £1.8m Moussa Sow - £5m Kara - £6m Lucas Andersen - Free Out goes: Distin & Osman - Retired de Camargo - £650k Gareth Barry - Released (Ridiculous wages demands) Hopefully I can offload a couple more backups like Hibbert and Vellios. Formation now looks like this: GK - Howard/Mucha DL - Baines/Masilela DC - Heitinga/Caulker DC - Clark/Yobo DR - Bandalovski/Coleman DMC- Kara/Ortigoza MC - Barkley/Cahill MC - Rodwell/Svensson AML- Johnson/Gueye AMR- Poulsen/Andersen STR- Sow/Anichebe/Bangoura Helluva first game of the new season - At Anfield!

m1234566778 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 After struggling to get into a save, I've decided to start with Everton. They are probably my favourite Premier League club so it was an easy choice. Made a couple of signings, will post them up later and keep updating on my progress. First season I'm looking for a solid mid-table finish, maybe sneaking into a European spot. A cup run would also be a bonus, although I'm going to give some of the younger lads a change in the League Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicha_14 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 How did you get Balotelli and The Ox first season?

leedsfanatic Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Just thought id post an update on my game with the new patch. finished first season and ended up finishing 5th in the PL just 3 points off arsenal in 4th. My team was -------------------------Howard ----------Neville - Jagielka - Heitinga - Baines --------------------------Fellaini -------------------Rodwell Barkley ----------Rochina ----------------------- Drenthe ----------------------Welbeck/Jelavic Players ive bought for second season are junior hoilett on a free. I play counter attacking so now i have more pace which i lacked on the wings. Got Savic on loan from city to bolster defence. Got Romario from brazil to replace neville, barca were after this kid and he has a pace to burn. Bought Alexandre Merkel from AC milan for 1.5 milion to bolster midfield.

brento Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Started a new save after getting my new laptop. finances awful started with £0 transfer budget Man city made a bid of £6.5m for Howard i accepted,bought in the younger Yann sommer £1m upfront £2m over 48months. Also signed a Mexican winger Elias Hernandez 700k, being everton before i knew i would be losing £3m a month. Currently in November and already in the red at this rate i will be like -20m in the red at end of season, so even if i finish 6th or 7th i will get somewhere around 12m so i will still be in the red come start of next season. How has anybody else done with the finances? Performance wise playing great end of November in 3rd place and in quarter final of Carling cup. Jelavic has been fantastic 13 goals 10 in the league, im getting between 15 to 20 shots on goal a game plus good possession. I need a backup for Baines but with finances as they are i don't know how any suggestion's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshgo Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I need a backup for Baines but with finances as they are i don't know how any suggestion's? Not sure his price on the new patch, but I picked up Renzetti from Padova in Serie B for about $750k spread over 48 months and a friendly. So far he has been a fantastic steal. Had a couple of injuries to Baines in first season and he stepped in immensely. At the end of the season, he had about 10 fewer starts than Baines, but a slightly higher avg rating and more tackles per game than Baines. Assists per game were just a bit less than Baines, but did have some beautiful threaded crosses for goals through out the season. He's about 23 at the beginning, so definitely has room to grow. Certainly a play that seems to play higher than his stats suggest. I used him as a FBL, set to automatic. Hope this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brento Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Thanks but just checked and palermo have signed him doe's look good though.

swisso Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 He's fairly quick-ish, so you'll see this represented and as he's with the Everton U21s straight from Evertons U16s, essentially bypassing the U18s alltogether, he has a promising future here. Don't expect him to be good enough for Evertons first team, he's a few years off yet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
