el sid Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I tried the demo with Man City and got Sebastian Frey for 22 Million and Aguero for his release clause. Although both were not interested giving them maximum wages, and maximum appearance and goal bonus, they accepted the contract Maybe starting off as an international footballer helps there. Apart from these, I got the regulars like Srna, Arshavin, Matias, Diarra and Marcelo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falastur Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm looking for a good striker to partner Robinho up front at the start of the game (full version, where good demo players often won't join City), anyone got any ideas? I'm also trying to decide whether I should replace Dunne/Richards in CB - maybe put Richards on the right of defence? - since Bowen's team assessment has Richards at only 4 stars and neither CB as being brilliant. I'm no tactical genius, I'm barely even competant Anyone have any suggestions of where I should look at? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the--dud Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I bought Leo Franco for £5m on the demo, and he's certainly one of the best goalkeepers disregarding the un-buyable Castillas/Cech/etc etc...

HappyNoodleBhoy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Back when Chelsea first got their millions I couldn't go through with taking charge of them because they're just a team that I don't like, I don't have the same problem with Man City. I can quite happily take the millions and take on the challenge of converting them into a Champions League super-power within a few seasons - at least until the January update and then I can start a career game until FM10. The game so far is just filling in the spots with the highest recommended players that will make the move to City, so I'm not surprised everybody is basically after the same players. My first XI going into the season: --------------------Boruc (£25m) Richards--------Dunne---Kompany---Guardado (£21m) Wright-Phillips---Elano---Fernandes---Robinho ----------------Benjani---Caicedo sb1. Hart sb2. Ben-Haim sb3. Petrov sb4. Ireland sb5. Jo sb6. Johnson sb7. Marcelo (£4.9m) Reserve Team (Featuring a lot of transfer kitty spending as I want to give the team time to gel.) --------------------------Hart Rafinha (£16m)---Ben-Haim---Radu (£2m)------Marcelo (£4.9m) Zabaleta---------Johnson----Veloso (£15m)---Matias Fernandez (£9m) ---------------------Sturridge---Evans sb1. Renan (£6.5m) sb2. Onuoha sb3. Castillo sb4. Bojinov sb5. Vassell I let go everyone else in the squad save for a few U18's in each position. I left it too late to get Srna for £18m so ended up with Rafinha instead, the only thing that's happened that has left a little regret. It's going to be interesting to see if I can mould Guardado into a left-back. But that's most of the money away & I'm still looking for a young left-winger and a striker for a combined £4m (so that rules out my first choices - Ballotelli & Zhirkov!!) to "complete" the entire team... well, until the next transfer window anyway! I'll update at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawry_7 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 This is the most stupid thing i have ever read in my life. Why would u pay 16m for a reserve right back or 6ml for a reserve sub goalie? i think someone is telling porkies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyNoodleBhoy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Did you juz play robinho at left wing???how is he performing?? I'm only a few games in but he isn't setting the world alight, I might just move my whole left side up 1 and forget trying to convert Guardado into a great attacking left-back and just bring in Marcelo instead. This is the most stupid thing i have ever read in my life. Why would u pay 16m for a reserve right back or 6ml for a reserve sub goalie? i think someone is telling porkies. I'm Man City, I can do what the hell I like!! =P Anyway, I already explained - I don't want to have strangers playing with each other every game, I have only introduced Boruc and Guardado in addition to the new players I didn't sign in the hope that the team will gel quicker. The young guys in the reserves will hopefully adapt without any pressure on them and can slowly be introduced, save for any injuries to my first team squad. Why would I not buy the very, very best players I can afford? It makes sense to me, although you may be proven right at the end of my season. We'll just have to wait and see. =D P.S. If you don't believe me then I'm sure if you go on about it enough you will make me care enough to give you a screen-shot. I got £85m as I promised the title, then I adjusted the wage structure to add the rest of the money and I have just over £4m left as well as £100k left in the wage structure.

Fane Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Just started my season as Man City manager, i wanted to see if money could buy you world domination . I got the £73million Budget. Players In (£) - Serigo Aguero - 32.5m Matias Fernandez - 8m Marcelo - Loan Cardozo - Loan Veloso - 11.25m Balotelli - 10m Di Maria - 6m Insua - Loan Total spent 68m Total left 9.5m I was just about to sign Zapata for 12m when it was cancelled because he was injured, i will probably just sign him in the january transfer now. Line Up - | Hart | | Richards | Dunne | Ben-Haim | Marcelo | | Kompany | Veloso | | Aguero | Matias | Robinho | | Cardozo/Balotelli | Subs - Kasper Insua Di Maria Elano Balotelli/Cardozo I haven't quite figured out if i want to play Robinho there or upfront, either way all players can swap arround easily. As well as Zapata, i will probably also look to sign a goalkeeper, this is the next weakest spot in my opinion. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
