el sid Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Tbh I'm having trouble seeing exactly what # the attributes are on players with your skin. But if he's better at 22 already, and you can afford it, I'd go for it. Let me just whip up another screenie with numerical attributes John Fleck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanzee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Ok, he looks incredible for 22 in my opinion. I'd go for it if you have the money and can afford it. At 22 he's likely to improve more and he's got 15+ in so many he could become world class. I think the chances of losing money on that investment would be very low.

PRDH Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yeah, he has developed brilliantly on your game. He is better as a 22 year-old than he is as a 28 year old on mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
el sid Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 He has random potential iirc, so that could be the reason for this. He was Craig Gordon (signed him for free a few weeks ago in gametime)'s recommendation. Just clicked the accept button. One of my poorer strikers is out warning others that he won't give his starting spot too easily I'm in Gordon's favourite personnel now as a result. Oh, and he easily becomes my costliest signing, my second highest is 7.5 million each for Gustavo Cabral and Diego Suarez. He better repay me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanzee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Meh. Seems we can never beat a better team without playing bad. If we play better than them we end up losing. Like this against Milan. Getting annoying. More than 3 times the amount of shots. Better passing, better possession, means nothing way to often. Was missing 3 first team players through injury to, so a good performance against such a good team. Ah well, we're top of the league after beating Lyon in a game we didnt deserve to win. So I guess it evens out. They are beating the crap out of every other team though, so I cant slip up at all and I already got a bad away draw in a game I really deserved to win 5-0. Feels alot like last season. Beat Celtic away and AZ at home in the other games in our group so far. *edit* And next game we manage to draw away to Bordeaux in another game we completely dominate. 63% possession and twice the amount of chances. Time to make dinner. I'll end up throwing my computer out the window if I keep going atm. And again And we screw up another away game we totally dominate in the league, while Lyon keeps winning. 12-0-1 now (their only loss against us), 39-5 goal difference. Might aswell put on autopilot and rush to the end of the season. It's looking exactly like last season all over. Except Marseille are also pushing on at 10-1-1. They'll be ahead of us if they win their game in hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRDH Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Just invested heavily in some new coaches. Everything is now up to at least '5 stars', and there are four '6 star' categories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanzee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hudson just tore his hamstring in training 3 months gone. He'll be back just around the time when Real Madrid are gonna kick our asses in the Champions League knockout stages. Pretty much the worst draw we could get. They've won it 4 times in the last 8 seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRDH Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Brief mid-season update. It is the end of January. And I am sitting 4th in the table behind AC Milan, Napoli and Inter (though I am level on points with Inter). I've got a tough run of games coming. Got Inter, AC and Juve in the space of 4 games.

Ohanzee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Nice going PRDH, I'm not gonna predict anything cause I seem to get it wrong each time. Might jinx you. So just, good luck in the second half of the season FC Mulhouse have just shocked football Europe by beating last years champions 5-4 on aggregate. Very lucky some would say, especially after the first leg, but Mulhouse have shown they are no lightweight. 1st Leg (home) 3-3 2nd Leg (away) 1-2 Again it happens to be that we win when we might not deserve it. In the first leg Madrid could well have won 5-1 from the chances they made. I was expecting a 6-0 loss or something for the second leg in Madrid, but we where once against good enough and lucky enough. Reals goal was an owngoal from Yoshimi aswell so how they did not score more than once is beyond me. Especially with players like Julio Flores (the best regen striker in the game, at least of those I know about). The rest of their team is pretty damn good aswell. 2-0 up at halftime in Spain I was expecting my teamtalk to lose it for us again, but we held on So the reigning champions of Europe are out, and FC Mulhouse are up against Arsenal in the next round. They are lead by a 30 year old Fabregas. I always had huuuge problems playing Arsenal, but I never played them in a 9th season before. My longest game ever. Arsene Wenger is long gone, and you'll never guess who their manager is now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRDH Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks Ohanzee. I had a couple of disappointing results recently. But I just played A.C. Milan, and well, it's an historic day as il Rossoneri are defeated 3-2 by il Nuovi Rossoneri! Could this be a sign of things to come? Anyway, with that result I am still 4th, 5 points behind Inter and AC who are locked together at the top of the table, though Napoli have a game in hand and are only 2 points behind them. What round are you Ohanzee? I tend to have trouble with Arsenal too, but to get past Real Madrid with Flores in the side is impressive. I've got Luigi Mariani - a striker - turning up in the summer for £2,5M. I think he looks potentially top drawer, and am quite excited by him!

ghostwriter Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 jeez, flores is good. as for his strikerate , and it is not as if he is banging them in against andorra and san marino either. he has had a pretty nomadic career as well! he can't have had been that great (or had potential) as a teenager if he played (well, not actually any games it seems) in Morocco! EDIT: actually looking at that again, I have never heard of Municipal (GUA) (where he started) so maybe it is a tiny club so no-one know about him before he moved to Africa... cracking result Ohanzee, good luck against Arsenal.

Ohanzee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yea, to be honest I didnt spot him before he was in Bordeaux. My scouts where crap up untill then and I only spotted him when I played against them myself. The scouts never pointed me in his direction, I guess cause he was in Chelsea by the time I got good enough scouts. Not like he'd have come to a newly promoted team anyways. How do I "ask for his strikerrate" ? Never heard of that :o Mariani looks great PRDH. Real Madrid was the 1st KO round (after group stages). Arsenal is the quarter final. We've played the away game. By the way their manager is Steven gerrard Good performance at the emirates. Once again we lose when we create the biggest chances, but we're still in it. *edit* Doh, sorry I read it as "ask for his strike rate", but you wrote "as for". Never mind me heh. Arsenal are beaten. Flattering result for us in the end. We where 2-0 up at halftime. First Kacem scored a cracking direct freekick, and then Marcolini decided to end his 8 hour goal draught at just the right time (+1 into injury time of the first half). 8 minutes into the second half Paiva scored on a corner kick and the game was pretty much over. We got another goal in overtime as Strömberg put a penalty away and made it a humiliating 4-0. Joris Delle in goal had a cracker, but even without it we deserved to go through in my opinion. Chelsea are waiting in the semi finals. I'm not amazed by their squad to be honest. Lots of oldies. Cech (35), Heitinga (34), Terry (38), Zhirkov (34), Essien (35), Cole (36) all seem to be regulars still. They have a frightening duo up front in Juan Manuel Mata and Henri Saivet though, they look very good. And the mental and technical stats of the old players are still crazy good, so it will be tough. 39 year old Frank Lampard is their manager now. Nice to see english managers in english clubs. We just won a new trophy. Coupe de la Ligue, for the first time. Lyon was beat 2-0 in the final. I decided to field the best team I could even though youngsters and backup players got us to the final. The same youngsters and backups lost to Lyon in the semifinal of the French Cup days before and where really outplayed, so I decided to let the first teamers play this one. They won it for us, but we lost Kacem and Werff with 3-4 week injuries in the game. They will lose out on the Chelsea games now, but Ribery and Strömberg should be decent enough backups.

PRDH Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 That's a great result! Good luck against Chelsea. I've just followed up by 3-2 win over Milan with a 2-0 win Juventus. Which has seen be consolidate 4th. I'm still in 4th, and now have what should be an easy-ish run of games. I don't want to jinx myself, but could this be a massive season? I'm not sure my team are really that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanzee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Oww looking good PRDH. Keep it up We managed a very good result at Stamford Bridge. 35 year old Petr Cech got the Man of the Match award. I guess keepers do age well. I'm not gonna get my hopes up though. We got games coming so tight now we could be struck by injuries and fatigue and whatever else could go wrong. We most likely just lost our chances in the league aswell with a 2-0 loss away to Marseille. We got a man sent off after just 15' and never looked like winning after that. Lyon are 3 points ahead, but we have a game in hand. However Lyon have +85 and we have +67 in goal difference, so we need them to slip up to have a chance. Looks like they'll snap it in front of our nose again. No luck in the replay. Once again we struggle scoring when we dominate a game. For what feels like the millionth (is that how it's written?) time this season we can't win a game we completely dominate. I'm getting really frustrated by this, but I guess we'll just need to find better attackers really. Great first season with the big boys anways. Shows this team can beat anyone on the right day.

Ohanzee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I know that feeling. Our loss of points against the weaker sides might cost us against Lyon in the league once again. We're equal on points now with 3 games left. Unless I win 10-0 in each of those we're not gonna catch their goal difference, so they have to slip up. Which is unlikely the way they are performing. But they do have an away game against 5th placed Stade Rennais left, so I'm still hoping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRDH Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Good luck. Back to winning ways for me against Chievo - another weak team. My next 6 games are Reggina (17th), Parma (10th), Bologna (15th), Cesena (18th), Palermo (11th) and Salernitana (19th) - so hopefully I should pick up some points from those!

Ohanzee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Oh my god! Lyon just lost 2-0 away to Rennais. We're a homegame against 14th placed Chamois Niortais away from winning the league. And if we win that game we'll reach 100 points aswell. *E* Halftime and we're 3-0 up and they have a man sent off. We're gonna win the league! Lyon are 6-0 up against Nantes, but unless we let in 4 in the second half against 10 men it wont matter!! It ended 3-0, we're the champions of France! Lyon won 8-0 over Nantes but it didnt matter. <If there was a dance emote it'd be here> Last day | Fans delighted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohanzee Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 FC Mulhouse 2017/2018 1st in Ligue 1 (pred: 2nd) | Transfers | Finances | Graph The League Looked just like last year untill the 37th game when Lyon finally lost and gave us the help we needed. 100 points and had we lost one more game we'd be second. We beat Lyon twice. Their only other loss the whole season came in that 37th game against 5th placed Rennais. Had we even drawn against Lyon in either of our games against them we'd be second on goal difference. I was sure it'd be another season of second places, but I'm thrilled we made it! The Cups I sent out our second string of players, including a bunch of youngsters from the reserves and u18s in all but one game. They did amazing reaching the final of Coup de la Ligue and semifinal of the French Cup. When they where completely outplayed by Lyon in the French Cup semifinal I decided to use our firstteam for the Coup de la Ligue final, also against Lyon. They won us the trophy for the first time. What would turn out to be a double. Europe | fixtures Been covered in posts above. Short recap. We beat Braga and Udinese to make it to the group stages. AC Milan proved to tough as we lost both games against them (although we did give them a fight), but Celtic and AZ Alkmaar proved fairly easy to beat and we ended 2nd in the group. When we drew Real Madrid in the 1st KO round I expected us to be done for the season, even more so after barely managing a 3-3 at home. But a fantastic (and lucky) vicotory in Spain saw us through. Arsenal was beaten in the quarter final, before Chelseas quality got to strong in the semifinal. I say their quality got to strong, cause we really gave them a fight and only the quality of finishing and goalkeeping kept us from going to the final. Amazing season with the big boys though, hopefully we can repeat it. The Squad Everyone did their part. 28 players at 7.00+ average rating. Marcolini is my player of the year as he hit 30 goals in his first season. He played 55 games though so he'll need to do even better before he's good enough to win us that big Champions League trophy. One more player needs mention even though he didnt make a big impact yet. I bought a leftback in January, Besart Ajazi, because Guindos performance was very bad that far. I was considering getting him last summer, but I didnt think Guindo would be so inconsistent. Ajazi looks very promising and has potential to be a key member of the first team squad. He doesnt speak french yet though, not even basic. The Finances Brilliant. Champions League money is HUUUGE. And winning the league also gave over £13M. Our average attendance went up another 2,5k to 12,511 overall. 11,754 in the league, which is 16th. Way to low for the kind of wages we're paying now, but the price money and player sales more than make up for it still. We have 5 players worth £10M+ now. Scognamiglio is worth the most at £15.25M. We're also the richest club in France at £175M. Still not sure how they calculate that, but Lyon have moved down to 2nd at £122M. The Future It looks bright, although a couple more of the first team players do wanna leave to further their career. Which is kinda annoying seeing how we won the league and got a semifinal in the biggest cup in Europe. Only Coutinho and Delle have 1 year left on their contract though, so no worries there. I might try to sell Coutinho if he doesnt sign a new one by August. But basically we are likely to keep most of the same team, so we should do well next year aswell. The board also agreed to yet another improval of youth and training facilities. So all is looking bright. Jean-Marc Brousse | Start | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | He's improving, but he's also soon 19. I might have to involve him more soon if he is to reach his potential. He played 7 cup games this year and did really well. There are several 20-22 year olds in the reserves I should play aswell though. My problem is that Lyon are so good I can't afford to play anything but my best team in every league game or I'm out of the race right away.

PRDH Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 **End of Season Update - Domegliara - Serie A - 2019/2010** Transfers The biggest news about this year's transfers was that it was the first season where I didn't make an overall profit from my transfer dealings. They can be split into two sections. Gerson Ramirez and Friedrich Kasongo are youngsters brought in for the future, whilst the rest are first team squad members who we'll come across later. League Well we started the season in the usual fashion. Decent first couple of results then a downturn, followed by an upsurge that saw us in mid-table. The difference this season was that we didn't stop there. We pushed on into contention for a place in Europe. I was thrilled with this. It was what I had been aiming for pre-season. So obviously I was hoping to maintain that position, to see Il Nuovi Rossoneri in Europe next season. The Domes then managed to go on an excellent runs, including the much-publicised victories over Juventus and A.C. Milan. These victories saw me move even further up the table into contention for a place in the holy grail - the Champions League. A continuation in this form saw me reach the position I left you in. 7 games left, 2nd place, 6 points behind the leaders. Well it seemed a longshot, but I had a chance at the title. Well, it was again a good run. I was undefeated in those final 7 games, picking up 4 wins on the way. Disappointingly I drew a winnable game against relegation fodder Cesena (H), and then drew with Palermo (A) and Napoli (A) - decent results against good teams. A.C. Milan also managed to have a poor run-in to the season. Unfortunately it wasn't quite bad enough. We finished up in 2nd - 1 point behind A.C. Milan. They drew in their final game whilst I won mine. So close! But still a cracking season from Il Nuovi Rossoneri, who have booked a place in the group stages of the Champions League. Players The squad did itself proud this season. As you can see, there is a lack of depth up front with only Hansen and Pastore having good scoring records. Artur Pestana - was ever present for the team and did a good job. Christoffer Nilsen - a definite back-up, but a useful one who has done a decent job when called upon. Francesco Dessena - bought at the start of the season when I thought it was likely I would lose one of my first choice pair - I didn't, so he didn't play a lot, but he is a very good prospect. Hamza Tlili - didn't play much. Frank Heß - can only get better, and he's already good. Antonio Pellegrini - great defender, I'm amazed he hasn't played for Italy - shows that the Italy manager only picks players from the 'big' clubs. Shocking. Antonio Velardi - He is probably more a defender than a midfielder, but he does a damn good job in the centre of the park. Can't shoot for toffee though! Anton Iljin - a very useful right-back, his pace is an excellent asset on the counter. Giovanni Marchese - definite back-up for Dalla Bona, he wants to stay in football, I hope I can offer him a coaching role when he retires as a reward for his long service. Gianfranco Dalla Bona - he really benefitted from the increased investment in coaches. He is an excellent player. Well done youth academy! Aldo Mazzini - still here, still back-up. Giuseppe Casisa - his best years are in the past. He only got on the field once, he is around as dressing room figure head, he wants to become an assistant manager when he retires, I'd like him to be my assistant. Marius Dinu - used sparingly and mostly as a sub, it shows how well the first choice pair played as he's still a very useful player to have about. Cesare Peluso - unfortunately for the lad he's not managed to break into the first team. I may think about getting rid. Giving him a chance to develop. Marco Novello - he's reached the stage where he is considered a 'leading star for a Serie A teams'. Surely if he played for one of the major teams he'd have got a call-up to the International team. Igor Teplyakov - didn't play much this season. Holger Wagner - a very good back-up for both wings. Giuseppe Magnini - he came in this season as a surprising replacement for Willems. He sacrifices some of the technical skill for electric pace. Steven Willems - fewer games following Magnini's arrival. Claudio Di Mauro - a triumphant return to Domegliara for the man who spent 3 years in Belgium and returned a better player. Diego Pastore - a return to form for the fans' favourite. He was top scorer this season and broke 20 for the season for the second time in his career. He's closing in on his 250th league appearance. With the Champions League, he should start to rack up more appearances, and try to push on towards the mythical 1000 figure! Bent Hansen - His first season as first choice and he scored fairly regularly, second behind Pastore, and it was lucky as the other strikers were fairly poor. Hernan Juan - brought in in January, mainly played as a sub. He looks to have a good future. Fedir Kandaurov - quiet season, he is off when his contract expires at the end of the season. Stefano Okaka - same as above. Cup Once more I only made it to the 1st Round of the Italian Cup. Awards Top Scorer - Diego Pastore - 20 goals - he was runner-up for the golden boot too. Fans Player of the Season - Antonio Pellegrini Highest Average Rating - Antonio Pellegrini - 7.24 (33 Apps) Can We Play You Every Week - Amazingly it's Juventus! We beat them 1-0 away and 2-0 at home. Youth Player Watch Pier Luigi Farinelli - well I'm glad to be on target as he moved again. This time to Inter for £21M where he became a fixture in the reserves! It's his 8th team. He could be off again if he doesn't get in the side. Aldo Mazzini - stagnating. Diego Pastore -with the fall of Casisa he is now on course to become the most capped player in a few years. Gianfranco Dalla Bona - should relish Champions League football next season. Stephen Carriero - spent the second half of the season as my number 2. May loan him out next season. Giuseppe Esposito - he needs to improve his composure and off the ball stats. But that should come with age. Records A few new records Highest League Position - 2nd Serie A (previous - 10th) Highest Attendance - 22873 v Parma - March 2020 Average Attendance - 20865 Most League Apps - Giuseppe Casisa - 317 Most League Goals - Diego Pastore - 114 Best Elevens 19/20 Overall Other News -The board have agreed to relay the pitch and expand the stadium by 5000 seats. -Pastore was golden-boot runner-up. -Pellegrini - was third in the Serie A defender of the year awards and was in the team of the year. Aims For Next Season Well I suppose the aim for next season now has to be to aim for the title, but I want to at least consolidate my place as contenders and a European team. As for the Champions League, I feel I have the squad to get through the group stages.

PRDH Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Champions League Group Draw! I was seeded 4th for the draw unsurprisingly so was expecting a tough group. In the end I'm quite pleased with the opponents of Chelsea, Dinamo Kiev and FC Kobenhavn. I'd like to think that I can get positive results against the Ukrainians and the Danish. Chelsea could prove harder, but if I can do well against the others I should be able to qualify. [edit] - and thanks everyone. And, in news I'm tense about, I've had to change the shape of the pitch due to ECL regulations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
el sid Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Last game of the group stages in the Champions league coming up for Sachsen Leipzig. The table currently looks like this : Pld Won Drew Lost GD Points Real Madrid 5 4 1 0 +7 13 (Q) Sachsen Leipzig 5 1 2 2 +1 5 Shakhtar 5 1 2 2 -3 5 Anderlecht 5 1 1 3 -5 4 Lost both the games against Madrid but the scores were encouraging : 2-1 and 1-0 respectively. Our final group game is against Shakhtar, who we drew 2-2 earlier in the group at Ukraine. Whoever wins this match will qualify second to Madrid, and a draw will also suffice for us, unless Anderlecht pull something out of the hat and manage to win against Madrid in their last game.

PRDH Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 **Pre-season Transfers** There are 4 new players through the Domegliara gates for the new season. Two young centre-backs, a midfielder and a striker. Srdjan Stanisic - joins for £425K, he looks to me like an excellent prospect at only 18. Jose Marques - useful midfielder who joins for £7.25M - his best attribute - he is both footed. Luigi Mariani - excellent looking striker the £2.5M deal for who was tied up near the end of the last season. Ben Dladla - South African centre-back joins for £5.75M. There is nothing subtle about him. He is tall, strong and very good in the air. Though to be fair he is also a reasonable passer of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRDH Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Bienvenue, Wilkommen, and Welcome to the first European football to be played at Domegliara Stadium (the home of Il Nuovi Rossoneri). We are here today to watch the Domes take on Chelsea. Domegliara go into the game as slight underdogs, but must be hoping that with some luck they good pull off a big result this evening in front of their passionate fans. Chelsea take the lead as Alexis Sanchez dances through the team and slots home the goal. 0-1 Domegliara equalise as Hansen scores from the rebound after Pastore hits the bar with a header. 1-1 Half Time 1-1 Claudio Di Mauro scores in the 79th minute to take the lead. 2-1 Dalla Bona steps up to take the corner and somehow manages to score straight from it. 3-1 in the 83th minute. Luigi Mariani beats Micah Richards in the air in the 86th minute to score his first goal for Domegliara. 4-1! Full Time! I am, needless to say, absolutely thrilled with that result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanzee Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 FC Mulhouse is now 14th in European coefficients. France stays in 5th. Fun fact, UEFA Cup final loss of last year gave more points than a semifinal loss in Champions League. Also our board payed shareholders £13M. There goes an entire seasons worth of league position reward money. Good thing Champions League is such a cashcow. Congrats PRDH, great result. You might just go all the way with some luck.

PRDH Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 My favourite chance noticing I've had was on a long game on fm08. I looked at the most successful English managers. I was obviously the at the top of the tree - no surprise there. But, what was surprising was that the second most successful English manager was Jermain Defoe!
