Kiriakoz Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I've had great fun being Chelsea in my game. I've decided to pretty much sell most of the players (especially the one's with high salaries) and buy youngsters. First Season: Transfers Out: Michael Ballack - 15M Ricardo Carvalho - 21.5M Wayne Bridge - 6M Hilario - 1.2M Nicolas Anelka - 24M (January) Transfers In: Marcelo - 4.3M Balotelli - 14M Aguero - 38M Srna - 20M Zapata - 12.25M Guiseppe Rossi - 26.M (January) Story of the season: League Cup: Knocked out in 6th Round FA Cup: Won Premier League: Won Champion's League: Knocked out in 1st Knockout Round (By Real Madrid - No Less) Rossi underperformed severely, Drogba was amazing and so was Balotelli off the bench. Ashley Cole kept Marcelo out of the starting team most of the time, Essien and Aguero both played quite well, as did Lampard. Second Season Transfers Out: Pizarro: 4.6M Shevchenko: Free Cudicini: Free Alex: 5.5M Ferreira: 1.6M Beletti: 850K Drogba: 23M J.Cole: 16M Deco: 15M Jack Cork: 3.2M Malouda: 16M Ashley Cole: 20M Kalou: 20M Transfers In: Edu: Free Damian Le Tallec: Free van der Vaart: 9.5M Robinho: 37M Guadardo: 20M Joe Mattock: 1.3M Rosina: 14M Sakho: 24M Ben Arfa: 20.5M Asenjo: 7.5M Jovetic: 14M Story of Season: So far, I am doing quite well. 3 wins (including CS) and 1 draw. Tactics: I play 4 - 2 - 4 like this: GK: Cech, Asenjo CB: Terry, Sakho CB: Zapata, Mancienne, Ivanovic LWB: Marcelo, Mattock RWB: Srna, Bosingwa, Ivanovic CM (with arrow to DM): Essien, Obi Mikel AML: Guadardo, Jovetic, Robinho AMC: Aguero, Lampard, Ben Arfa, van der Vaart AMR: Rosina, Balotelli ST: Robinho, Rossi ST: Balotelli, Aguero What do you think (I don't mind critisizm, I can take it)?

Canal Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 mate, i like the look of that team!! thats a pretty attacking formation.... surely you concede quite a few? WHo are your top scorers, assist makers, highest average, worst average? Only position i would improve is AMR (simply because i have never used Rosina).... i personally would retrain Aguero to AMR and play either one of Rossi or Robinho (whichever is not ST) at AMC.... could work?

TerrorTomDingerz Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 IN: Franck Jurietti---RB/LB---£2m Maxwell---LM/LB---£14m Darijo Srna---RM/RB---£15.5m Oscar Cardozo---ST---£6.5m Andrey Arshavin---ST/AMC/R/L---£12m OUT: Florent Malouda---£8m Michael Ballack---£14m Wayne Bridge---£9m Salomon Kalou---£7m John Obi Mikel---£10m Joe Cole---£17m many people have said they sell ballack for only £5m i set his transfer status for sale at £14m then offer him to clubs sooner or later someone makes the £14m offer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal. Yes, I must be honest, I don't usually play such an attacking formation and obviously, concede alot more then I am used too. Top Scorers For 08/09: Drogba: 32 goals in 41 Apps (So then I go and sell him) Aguero: 22 goals in 46 Apps, playing AMC Balotelli: 17 goals in 49 Apps (alot of these were coming off the bench, he's starting now) Deco: 16 goals in 38 Apps (I probably shouldn't have sold him) Top Assist Maker: Drogba:- 19 Assists in 41 Apps (I really shouldn't have sold him!) Highest Rating: Didier Drogba: - 7.39 I have retrained Aguero in AMR, but not really played him there properly. It definitely could work and I will probably give it a go. I really like your team. I just had a bit of a look at Sukuta-Pasu, he's pretty good, but I'm amazed he is out-doing Villa judging by his stats in my game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 2011 January Transfer Window. Out - Ben Sahar - 2.6m In - Alexis Sanchez - 11.75m Federico Laurito - 10.25m Cristiano Ronaldo - 80m So now after having 110m in bank im left with 10 lol. but I have brought in 3 stars, unfortunately Laurito didn't get a work permit so will loan him to Westerlo but he is in the Argentina team now so should be okay, I just couldn't turn down the cut prices of either of the Udinese stars! Sanchez playing left wing has actually been amazing! Played 9 scored 2 assists 5 but and AvR of 7.51! which is the best in my team so far and seems to get over a 7 every game! been brilliant. and his value has already risen by 2m in a month. Got too many players though, who would you sell? GK - Cech/Enyeama/Regen DR - De Silvestri/Richards DL - Cole/Marcelo DC - Terry/Fazio DC - Richards/David Luiz Wingers (can play both wings) - Ronaldo/Sanchez/Marquinhos/Fernandez/Giovinco/Kuzmanovic MC - Essien/Lampard/Toulalan/Sankhare/Kuzmanovic FC - Vela/Balotelli/Bendtner/Higuain/Giovinco/Marquinhos/Sanchez/Briand/Laurito (when wp approved) Selection crisis! so far it hasn't been to bad with rotating as i've been able to put all but Briand and Bendtner on the wings, I will sell Briand when I can but currently cannot due to him only just arriving. But now with Ronaldo arriving and Sanchez in flying form, I am relying on injuries to help me rotate lol. its only really up front and wings tbh, could do with selling one or two but i like them all so not sure who! Bendtner maybe but then I have no out and out strikers until Laurito comes back. hmmm HELP!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I signed Villa (2010/2011) and he has only managed 22 games! his injury list looks like this..

Bendtner can be sold for a fair amount! But Vela and Balotelli, probably two of the BEST players in the game! they have to start and together they must be unstoppable?!

dexta200 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 they have been good, Balotelli is injured alot though. I will sell the 2 you said. just hope i can make more than the 16m i spent on Bendtner because he hasn't been great since i signed him. but that is basically my lineup atm. When everyone is fit. tbh if i get a decent offer for anyone i might take it to make it easier to rotate. I still want Messi though lol! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoit2 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 1st season i won the league and the champions league, didnt deserve the champions league, as i was very fortunate knocking out man u and barca on away goals, and beating inter in the final on penalties. Doesnt matter, you still deserved to win! I just finished my first season with Chelsea (only bought Giovinco in january for €12,5M): - Won the Premier League with 95 points (losing at home to Bolton and Tottenham in the last few matches ) - Lost the Carling cup to Arsenal on penalties after they drew level 2 minutes from time - Won the FA Cup against Liverpool, thanks to Anelka scoring 2 minutes from time - Won the Champions League, after knocking out Arsenal on away goals, then Barcelona on away goals and then beat Real Madrid on penalties!

Benoit2 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Good season Benoit and only one signing, did you sell anyone? are you looking to strengthen this season? Didnt sell anyone. Only used this season as a test run to see what things are different compared to FM08. I disabled the transfer window in august and only bought Giovinco because Malouda broke his leg. Not sure I'll go to the second season, maybe I'll wait till the 9.2 patch is released and then start proper. I certainly dont have a lot of money to spend, after having blown most of it on youngsters for the future When I start a proper game with the 9.2 patch once its released, I'll be a little more carefull with buying too many youngsters. Even so, how are you guys selling all your players for so much money? And is it upfront, or spread over 24 months? (and pounds, or euro's?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 I play in £'s its very easy to sell your players for good money in this game! most of mine have been upfront. Drogba 30m - Arsenal, Joe Cole 30m - Man City, Drenthe 20m - Inter, Demichelis 16m and 13m over 12months - Roma, Carvalho 15m - Inter, Bridge 10m - Man City all upfront minus the demichelis deal.

dexta200 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 usually Transfer List and set a reasonable asking price that you think you might be able to get and then sometimes you get an offer, if not offer them out and they usually bid your asking price.

Benoit2 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 If Sukuta-Pasu bangs them in, whats the problem? Dont change a winning formula. Do you think playing Villa or switching to 4-4-2 will give you even more goals? Probably not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 i am kinda losing patience with Villa, i spent a fair amount on him and so far he has done nothing.... he is 30 now, so only has a couple of seasons left... i think you are right Benoit and i will stick with my formation and keep Sukuta-Pasu as a lone ST, and play Aguero and Silva out wide, with Guilherme and Marquinhos rating at AMC.....

dexta200 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 unlucky with Villa again. try to offload him whilst hes still a good age and you can get decent money for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukekarts Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well I've just started a game as Chelsea, however rather than aiming to completely overhaul I'm going for a 'realistic' game with the ethos of sell-to-buy. Anyways, after a good start I'm approaching the end of December, with Lampard as by far my best player, averaging 8.65 with 21 goals in 17 games :-D Formation roughly as follows: -------------------Cech Bosingwa----Carvalho-Terry------Cole -------------Essien----Ballack ---Cole----------Lampard-------Kalou -----------------Drogba Forward arrows on the full-backs, wingers and AMC, backward arrow on one MC. Attacking mentality, high creativity, free roles for wingers and AMC, defenders push up etc. I've already got some transfers lined up for the end of season, which are: Out: Anelka to Aston Villa - £15m + £5m clauses Malouda to Newcastle - £15m Belletti to Portsmouth - £4m Ferreira to Getafe - £3.2m Total £37.2m In: DR: Marvell Wynne (Toronto) £1.2m Anelka is perhaps the only unrealistic sale, but in 11 games he hasn't scored and I just can't get anything more from him, so he's gotta go. Wynne is a pacey right-back who has impressed me in a few MLS games, so he's coming in to be a backup for Bosingwa... Further players I'll consider selling for the right price: GK: Cudicini (I like him but he needs some first team football, it's only fair) DL: Bridge (as above) DC: Alex (he's a beast, but no more than a squad player. I'd rather groom Mancienne into the first 11) DRC: Ivanovic (solid player, but again no more than a squad player. Expendable) MC: Mikel (I don't rate as much as fellow fans, and would sell if I got a good £10m+ offer) AMC: Deco (After 12 months I'll let him go back to Portugal/Brazil. Too inconsistent for my liking) SC: Di Santo (Is never going to be a world beater. £5m and he's off...) Potential signings: GK: Guillermo Ochoa (America) DC: Mark Beevers (Shef Wed) DMC: Hernanes (Sao Paulo) AML: Andres Guardado (Deportivo) AMR/FC: Nathan Burns (AEK) FC: Keirrison (Cortiba) SC: Pogrebnyak (Zenit) My intention for Ochoa is to bring him in and rotate him with Cech. I like Cech, but I don't think he's got the edge he did before his head injury, and Ochoa is a younger more agile replacement. I have no idea what Ochoa will cost but hopefully only £7-8m with a bit of luck. Beevers is a valuable young English centre-back with a big future, so he's going to be a priority. He fits my 3 year plan for my central defence, which will include an ageing Carvalho and JT, plus Mancienne and Beevers. Hernanes is a player who fits "the Brazilian Way". He's just won the Serie A with Sao Paulo, and was their best player, so I can see him slotting in to midfield to replace Ballack as soon as he arrives. Ballack/Deco/Mikel as a backup midfield will still be formidable, even with 2 of them being way past 30. £10m or so should net him for me... Guardado is someone I've wanted us to sign for ages. He's one of the best young wingers in the world and with Deportivo in a dire financial situation, would not force a massive price in the market. In-game, I think £17m should secure his services. He'll hopefully dominate the left wing for years to come, and it solves a long-standing problem since that cripple Robben left us. Nathan Burns is currently the best young Aussie I've seen, pacey and capable of playing on the right wing, and he's played brilliantly for me in FM Live. A useful addition, and cheap too... Keirrison was the best young striker in Brazil this year. Not only can he finish, he can also link up play brilliantly and is arguably better than Pato at this stage. Cortiba aren't wealthy so £5m should get him. Finally, Pogrebnyak looks like a suitable replacement for Drogba as a target-man. I have no idea what he'll cost, but if I can turf out Drogba at the end of the season to Inter or Madrid I'll put the funds towards him. Should keep Abramovich happy as well ;-) So, my 3 year plan is to have: GK: Cech / Ochoa / Hilario DL: Cole / Bertrand DC: Terry / Beevers DC: Mancienne / Carvalho DR: Bosingwa / Wynne (D)MC: Essien / Mikel (or replacement) MC: Hernanes / Ballack (or replacement) AML: Guardado / Sinclair AMC: Lampard / Deco AMR: Cole / Kalou SC: Keirrison / Pogrebnyak / Burns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can show you a pic of Marvell Wynne, he doesn't appear even in large db very often, but as an early target I reloaded a few times. I'll upload a screenshot after 9. As for Pogrebnyak, if he's only £5m then I'll sign him. He scored against me twice in the CL already. And Burns, he's a 20 yr old Aussie, not that brilliant in potential but solid and I like him.

lukekarts Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 As far as I can remember (going from memory), I've won or drawn my league games, sitting 3 points from top - not lost in the league. Lost in the CL away to Roma (quite realistic), drawn to Zenit at home and beaten Sparta Prague twice. My poor performances are always due to injuries or cards tho, JT got a red in the Zenit game, and Deco, Ballack, Essien and Drogba got injured against Roma so I finished with 9 men!

dexta200 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Where do you play Srna, Ilsinho does look good and was good on 08 but not great. At only 1 year older he looks alot better on yours than mine. only has 10 for corners on mine and most of his other stats are 1 better on yours. There are plenty of better wingers on the game and his defensive stats aren't good enough for a full back so not sure whether I would get him.

lukekarts Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 In my opinion, Ilsinho would be good for a club like Everton or Villa, but is not good enough for Chelsea. If you do want another right-back, De Silvestri from Lazio would be a good choice (and they need the cash), or someone like Christian Ansaldi from Argentina. But you could say the same about Srna in real life, and in FM he's practically the best full-back in the game.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 i play Srna at RB but going forward and very attacking! Srna and Ilsinho have pretty similar stats, and if anything (screenie below), Ilsinho is better as he has similar defensive stats and much better attacking... will sign Ilsinho now for £7.5mil, keep him on the bench as he can play pretty much anywhere and then slowly introduce him into my first team as Srna heads off...

dexta200 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 De Silvestri is immense. Won player of the year for me last season and Fans player of the year too. been amazing!

What have his stats been like? in terms of Assists, Goals, Man of the Match, Cards, AvR? etc.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexta200 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 okay 1 second mate. This season Last season and 2nd half of 1st season once he took Bosingwas place. As you can see his AvR is very good! his assists aren't too amazing but I his crossing isn't the best but he's just so consistant and hes set up a few.

Canal Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 This is the guy who i bought a few seasons ago... Kolodziecziak. Was originally a D/WBL but retraining to D/WB RL (in progress) He was originally gonna take over from Srna, but as he has no first team experience, i am gonna loan him out next season and was hoping to bring in another RB who i can retrain for LB to provide adequate cover.... hence my interest in Ilsinho (he can play pretty much anywhere).. De Silvestri looks solid enough on your game but my scouts claim he is 4th best RB and his stats just dont appear to be that fantastic... i mean maybe thats just my game? and i do heavily rely upon my RB and LB to get assists and score goals! my LB at the moment is Vargas, his stats are played 50 scored 10 assists 16! Srna at RB, played 41 scored 7 assists 15! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 De Silvestri doesn't look like he is near his PA on your game obviously Lazio haven't trained him very well. On my game he is still 17 away from his PA so still can improve! which would be amazing! but I think his hidden stats are very good. he is one of the best right backs on the game and with a very high PA aswell.
