Pompeyboyz Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 My game isn't going that well, about 8th after 10 games. I create loads of clear cut chances and my players miss, so I might switch to 4-4-2. Huseklepp is out for 5 months as well with a broken foot. Got Ropotan (£600k), Arsimendi (Loan), Frimpong (Loan), Stephen Jordan (Free), Stuart Parnaby (Free) and Timo Hilderbrand (Free). Nice get in Hilderbrand. I spotted him too late but am happy with Forsyth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbsn1fan Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yer wish I had signed a goalkeeper. Henderson and Ashdown are pretty laughable. Ie never played that way on fm at all. May try building something like this for the prem. Need some youngsters like yours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyboyz Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Best advice I can give on that side is use your scouts heavily......I have my 6 doing the 6 areas of Europe and will scout as much as possible. most of my checks are rubbish but occasionally I do hit a diamond like Raman. Hoping to get more access to go outside Europe after January if I am still riding high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
POMPEY657 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 UPDATE - 1st Febuary 2012 League Position: After a great first half season and Huseklepp banging in the goals (before he got injured for 3 months a few weeks back), we're sitting pretty in 2nd just behind the leaders Reading. Transfers: I kept with the original team up until January, then bought some good loan deals in. Especially Macheda and Gueye, I know it's still early but they're already doing the business with them both scoring on their debuts. Future Transfers: Somehow I managed to get Sanogo to sign on a free. With him declining offers from Arsenal, Chelsea and City! Unfortuantly though, Ben-Haim has agreed terms with Malaga and will be leaving on a free at the end of the season. He was asking for £49k a week. Sorry but there was no way he was going to get that, so I had to say goodbye. Formation: I play with a rigid wide attacking 4-2-2-2. It seems to do the trick with the players we have.

tbsn1fan Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 How much you paying sanogo? Looks like your doing well. I'm using the same formation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
POMPEY657 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If I remember correctly, it's: - 1st team. - 120k signing fee. - 120k agent fee. - 11k a week. - 5k appearance bonus. - 2k goal bonus. - 10% a year pay rise (which I hate, but grudgingly allow to players asking under 30k). - 10% profit of next sale (which shouldn't be a problem yet and will hopefully get removed in a future contract, but he just wouldn't budge without it at the moment). Yeah, I'm really starting to like this formation. I do have two other ones, a defensive narrow version and an attacking 4-4-1-1. But I've definately had the most success with this one so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

POMPEY657 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 UPDATE - 14th Febuary 2012 I know it's still early, but it looks like it will be me and Reading battling it out for 1st spot. I still have one game in hand over them, then this beaut of a fixture comes up next. League Table: It's looking good so far, I just hope we can keep it up. But it will be alot harder now that we have Macheda out for 7 weeks. While Benjani is still out for 3 months and the god like Huseklepp still has another 6 weeks working with the physio. Futacs will have to follow on his pre-christmas good form of 9 goals in his past 16 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
POMPEY657 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I haven't had the chance to play Magri yet as he is always injured, but scouts rate him high. Williams on the other hand has just scored his 1st goal for the club! A late equaliser against Boro in the FA Cup, taking us to a replay at the Riverside Saying that, he has started 7 league and 4 cup games previous to that, without an assist or goal though.

tbsn1fan Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 end of season, fairly happy of course for winning the league. my main worry is that a few of the better players are out of contract (benjani) and loans etc are finishing aswell. going to be a long summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

POMPEY657 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 UPDATE - End Of Season Reveiw 11/12 League Table: Even after the most injury prone season I've ever had, we managed to finish 6 points behind league winners Reading. Squad: Club Record: Football legend Rivaldo making history at Pompey! This goal also secured us promotion to the Premier League. Notes: Looking forward to another stint in the Premier League, but there will have to be some drastic changes made to the squad. At the moment, all I can see is Huseklepp, Halford, Mokoena and Lawrence staying anywhere near the 1st team. Aslong as we finish 17th or higher, I'll be a happy man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompeyboyz Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 September Update: Championship vs Hull City at The Circle Hull City 2 - 4 Portsmouth (npower Championship) An efficient performance from Portsmouth saw them run out 4 - 2 winners over Hull City at The Circle. A brace from Liam Lawrence helped Portsmouth to victory. Things did not get off to a good start for Hull City as winger Gai Assulin seized on an error by Liam Rosenior to score a fluke goal. Striker Aaron McLean then equalised for Hull City in the 19th minute with a good header from just inside the six-yard box. An error from Hull City's Paul McKenna allowed Portsmouth captain Liam Lawrence to score an effort which was deflected on its way in. Huseklepp scored with a close range header in the 70th minute to extend the lead further. Hull City's Mustapha Sama received the red card for a professional foul with 83 minutes on the clock. When Sama gave away a penalty, Lawrence confidently stepped up to score from the spot. Slovenia captain Robert Koren pulled one back for Hull City after 91 minutes with a well struck effort from the edge of the box. Portsmouth have notched up six straight wins and the promotion contenders lie in 1st place in the npower Championship.

Striker Fatos Beciraj gave Portsmouth the lead with a tidy finish in the 61st minute. With time rapidly running out however, experienced centre-back Martin Taylor then scored a fine header from point-blank range to equalise for Watford. Better late than never for Watford and the fans were clearly delighted with Taylor's impact. Then followed controversy as Watford were denied claims by midfielder Prince Buaben for a penalty. Portsmouth are currently on a seven match unbeaten run and the promotion contenders are enjoying 1st place in the npower Championship.

Pompeyboyz Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 This hurt a lot League Cup 3rd Round vs Chelsea at Fratton Park: Portsmouth 2 - 3 Chelsea (League Cup 3rd Rnd) In an unexpectedly even encounter, Chelsea overcame Portsmouth to grab a narrow 3 - 2 victory. Centre-back Tal Ben-Haim suffered the ignominy of scoring a calamitous own goal with 8 minutes on the clock. Striker Daniel Sturridge doubled Chelsea's lead with a close range finish which was timed impeccably on 54 minutes. Winger Erik Huseklepp gave the Portsmouth fans a glimmer of hope after 78 minutes with a well timed close range finish. Huseklepp equalised for Portsmouth in the 86th minute with a tap-in. Better late than never for Portsmouth and the fans were clearly delighted with Huseklepp's impact. Portsmouth were nearly gifted a goal on 90 minutes through Rohan Ince's lapse in concentration but they failed to capitalise on the opportunity presented to them. Tireless midfielder Ramires then clinched a late winner on 91 minutes with a well timed finish from close range. Ramires' impact delighted the fans with his late goal.

A brace from Fatos Beciraj helped Portsmouth to victory. Striker Giorgos Samaras gave Portsmouth the lead with a close range diving header in the 29th minute. An error from Burnley's Brian Jensen allowed winger Erik Huseklepp to score a placed shot. Beciraj scored with a real poacher's effort in the 84th minute to extend the lead further. There were no prizes for guessing who completed the rout on 89 minutes as that man Beciraj popped up again with a tidy finish. Portsmouth are currently on an eight match unbeaten run and the promotion contenders are enjoying 1st place in the npower Championship.

Portsmouth finally took the lead when experienced centre-back Ricardo Rocha scored a close range header on 72 minutes. Cardiff City's Ben Turner received the red card for a professional foul with 82 minutes on the clock.

Sansom Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Just finished my season finished 1st. Reading smashed the goals scored. Liam Lawrence was amazing, probably my best player: Transfers for the season: Got Billy Sharp comming in at the end of the season for £950k, he scored 29 goals for Doncaster so hopefuly he can make the step up but he can't be any worse than Benjani, Kitson and Kanu.

pompeyfan Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Cheers, I think I'll need it after an uninspiring league start - 16th after 4 games, with 1 win, 1 draw 2 defeats:( although in the LC 3rd round. Blackburn offered £525k for Ben Haim so I let him go to save on wages - currently about 90k under budget. Spent some of the money on young Swedish Striker Agon Mehmedi for 250k who looks decent for the future. I seem to do better away, but then I can never decide on a pitch size - in a two player game with a mate, I got sacked from pompey so hopefully this'll go better.

POMPEY657 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 UPDATE - End Of Season Reveiw 12/13 Summary: Well after this season, I'm not sure to be ecstatic or cry by thinking the game is broke. I didn't tweak any of my three tatics, only bought players in to fill those positions. Yet we managed to finish 4th, yes 4th, that's not a typo. Plus win the League Cup with my second team! (well apart from the final, I put my strongest 11 out for that). We didn't go crazy with the spending, I spent £11.75 million, which I don't think is unreasonable for a newly promoted team, especially as it helped bring in 22 new faces including loans. So I don't have world class players at all, yet they played like it far too much. Something just doesn't feel right by finishing 4th, It feels like I don't deserve it. I'm going to carry on for a season or two though, maybe I'm just over reacting as I've read plenty of threads saying FM12 is far too easy. League Table: Transfers: Squad: Liam Lawrence, David Goodwillie and Alberto Bueno just ripped teams apart. Awards: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
