dafuge Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Dafuge, i'm not playing my merthyr game any longer so i downloaded one of the editors to see if i can solve the issue of the number of scouts. i had 18 scouts and a contintal rep and i changed all the variables i could think of like rep, chairmans stats, finances etc.The only time it changed to 22 scouts was when i ticked the sugar daddy option - hamilton will no doubt be pleased to hear this I had a feeling that was the case. Looks like I'll need a new chairman if I'm ever going to get 20 scouts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton162 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 It looks like I may have a natural successor to Oswaldo Even:Shayne Hall - Coach Report He's a bit of a winger/striker so I'm not sure which is his best position yet but he looks talented enough in either. My assistant seems to think that AMR is his best position but I may try and turn him into a striker. Even's successor Interesting, I wonder if it is something to do with having an ambitious chairman? I think hamilton had a tycoon takeover which might explain his. Yep, i had a tycoon takeover just as i got promoted into the Premier League, which may explain it to some extent!

PaulHartman71 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 All 3 of my Youth Player's in my Newcastle save game have the potential to be starter's, but even the oldest who is 19 is still only a 'leading player for a league 2 side'. I've tried giving him games in cup competition's but he's predictably crap in them and I'd rather he play in my reserves than at a BSP/CCL2 side because their training facilities will be awful.

DizzyIzzyB13 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 As far as I've heard, the generally accepted reasoning behind the difference between the talent levels of regen 'keepers and outfield players is that the outfield players are more likely to get first teamk football than 'keepers, and first team football is absolutely vital to developing players.

DizzyIzzyB13 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 So, after taking most of the past week off from playing FM, I resumed my game today. I drew the second leg with BATE, so I'm into the group stages of the EURO Cup... where I was promptly drawn into a group with Dortmund, Palermo and the Romanian Champions FC Timisoara. Yay. At least there should be plenty of cash there, since I doubt I'm going to get as lucky as I did in the LEgaue CUp with weakened teams in a continental compatition. Interestingly, there are only three English teams in the group stages of the European Champions Cup, because Manchester United went out in qualifying. It means there's a possiblity of a United/City final in the EURO Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEinchy Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Why is it that whenever we top the league, we start playing like a team fighting relegation? It happened last year when we were in the BSN and couldn't put together more than two wins after January. Now that we're top of the BSP, we can't seem to string together more than two wins and it's January. I'm lucky that my closest challenger, Bournemouth, keep dropping points as well. It's really infuriating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Haven't got the time to post a long report today, but after finishing the season I can confirmt that we have won the BSP and will be playing in League 2 next year... Blue Sqaure Premier - Final It was a long, grueling and tough season with no easy matches but we got there in the end. You wouldn't believe how tight it was towards the end with the top four all swapping positions. If I hadn't drawn so many games, we would've made a 100 points but it was not to be. Of course that doesn't matter anymore as we've been promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverbird93 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Dover Athletic-2015-16 Season Review-CCL2 I was hoping for a good season this season as it was my fourth in the division and I thought my team could progress. The board expectation was playoffs, the media expectation was 7th and I expected automatic promotion. We were always around the top places in the league and coming to the last game of the season we had 84 points in 2nd, Bournmouth 83 3rd and Kidderminster 82 in 4th. We were at home to Kidderminster on the last game so we knew we needed only a draw. Kidderminster scored early in the 2nd half but we replied almost instantly and they didn't have another chance and the 1-1 draw saw us promoted in 3rd behind Bournmouth and Crewe. In the League Cup we knocked out Millwall in the first round and then Swansea in the second round before losing heavily to Man City in the 3rd round. I didn't make many purchases this year and the bank balance is quite heavily in the red.

MikaelS Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 MikaelS - Chippenham - End of Season 12 (2020/2021) Premier League Prediction - 2nd Premier League Position - 1st F.A Cup - Winners (v Arsenal) League Cup - Winners (v Chelsea) Community Shield - Winners (v Arsenal) European Super Cup - Winners (v Aston Villa) Champions League - Winners (v Aston Villa) Club World Championship - Winners (v Giurare Yokohama) Premier League (1st) - League Table | League Graph PL Summary Cruising the league. Domestic Cups I won the FA Cup, the League Cup, the Community Shield. This year all 3 matches were a tough match. European Cups Once again Aston Villa were our opponent in the Super Cup. We controlled the match and with a red card, they couldn't win. In the end we secured it 2-1. Champions League started out with some easy matches setting us on top of Group E. 1st Knockout stage saw us travel to Ukraine for away match against Dinamo Kiev. They actually battled us hard but the single strike from Catalano gave us an important 1-0 win. We've been pretty dominant at Chippenham Stadium and Dinamo were sent home to Ukraine with a 5-0 loss. Next up in the Quarter Finals, the first of two english teams were our opponent. Man City have been pretty solid this year but with a 2-0 win at home and a 2-0 win away they were easily beaten. We faced mighty Inter in the semis but with a solid 6-2 win away, the home match was a walkover. We controlled that one to a 2-0 win. In the finals we saw Aston Villa who really have been stronger and stronger. They didn't stand a chance though and I secured the 2-0 win easily. Once again I could raise the CL trophy. I don't know why I even bother the Club World Championships. A 6-0 win over OC Khouribga in the semis and a 5-0 win over Giurare Yokohama in the Final, provided me with the title once again.

I'm assuming it is your tactics, do you play with a very attacking tactic? I've been using the same set of tactics almost from the very beginning. I use TheBetterHalf's tactics - mostly the attack and attack away. In the lower leagues I blended the tactics alot because I wasn't the strongest team. I had to play careful and adjust the tactic accordingly. When I went into PL and got the stronger team, I almost always play Attack, sometimes with counterattack ticked.

Transfers Some big names in there and which will hopefully give the squad enough qaulity to stay in the divison this year. At the price of being nearly £1,000 over the wage budget, unfortunately, so we may well end up in the red by the end of the season. After 4 games, we've won 1, drawn 2 and lost 1 so not a bad start. We got dumped out of the Carling Cup, losing 5-1 to Peterborough so there goes a good source of money. Just the JPT Trophy and the FA Cup left to rely on for finances.

Gypsum Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Gypsum's Marine - End of season update - 2042/43 Coca-Cola League 2 - 2nd place A fairly good start saw us flirting with the playoff places for most of the season. But towards the end our consistent form, despite some injuries, saw us rise into the automatic promotion spots. Squad summary; General squad info Key players; Nathan Pritchard - MC - The veteran midfielder had a surprisingly impressive run of form this season. His playmaking and support of the front two won us many points. Unlikely to remain in the first-team squad for next season. Ian Foster - AMR - The winger had another impressive season for Marine. His skill and creativity down the wing showed him as almost too good for this division. Peter Burton - AMRC/FC - A former Merthyr youth product had another good season, despite not having a regular first team place. Can always be relied on to produce, no matter how often he plays or what position. Theo Snowdon - DR - His lightning pace and astonishing athleticism has proved crucial in this division, whether tracking back or flying down the wing. And his work ethic has endeared him to the fans and made him an integral part of the squad.
