arsenal_2111 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I decided to start a new game as Man City, but have no idea who would be good signings for them! I have about £27mil transfers after adjustment, and apart from the adjudgstment,, the only thing i have done is ask for a feeder club! I need staff and players please! Thanks!

teeyougee Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi everyone! I wanted to try out a different team, so I thought I'd go for Man City. I've completed my 1st season, and it was a very successful year Players bought: - Briand 11.5M - M.Fernandez 10M - Gyan 10M - Torje 1.5M - Samba 1.1M - Bouzanis 625K - Saivet 575K - Costil 500K - Sakho 400K - Pjanic 350K - Mihelic 275K - Piatti 250K - Stancu 150K - Ignashevic Free - Flamini Loan Total spent £37M (increased budget from extra wage and player sales) Players sold: - Vassell 6M - M.Ball 4.5M - Ignashevic 4.5M - Sun Jihai 2.2M - Sukha 1.5M Total made £18.75M My team was: GK: Isaksson/Costil DR: Richards/Onuoha DL: Garrido DC: Samba DC: Corluka/Dunne DM: Flamini/M.Johnson MR: Gyan/Bojinov/Torje ML: Petrov/Castillo AMC: Elano/Piatti/Mihelic AMC: M.Fernandez/Ireland STR: Briand/Stancu League Table League Table (Combined) Squad Player Stats Jimmy Briand Matias Fernandez FA Cup 4th Rnd FA Cup 5th Rnd FA Cup Final Fixture List As you can see, I lost 5 outta 6 of the last away games in the league, which prevented me from winning the league. My home form is absolutely amazing. Only 1 unlucky loss, in the Carling Cup. I was suprised at the FA Cup final victory. I played very defensively with counter attacks, and my players were determined to win. Could have won by more but Cech made numerous saves. I'll post my season 2 update soon (I'm in November atm) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borowski29 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm in a similar situation. Started with Man City and I'm doing well. In 3rd at the moment, coming into april, but have a difficult run in!! Got into the FA Cup final V Chelsea!! GK - Andreas Isaksson - GK concerned me at the start, but has had a really good season. DR - Nedum Onuoha - Started with Richards at RB, but onuoha forced his way in and has done really well. CB - Richard Dunne © - Never misses a game, irreplaceble. CB - Vedran Corluka - Awesome season, massive reason for the 2nd best defensive record in the league. LB - Javier Garrido - I thought this guy was the weak link of the back4 but has impressed and now I wouldn't leave him out. DMC - Micah Richards - I started with Hamann and Fernandes in this position, but once onuoha made the RB slot his own, Micah came to DMC. Can't leave him out, can I? MR - Geovanni - Has done well, gets a few goals but I will eventually replace him. ML - Martin Petrov - Not as good as I thought he would be, lack of alternatives make him first choice. AMC - Elano - UNREAL!! Give him a free role and he's unstoppable!!! Easily the best player in the league. AMC - Luka Modric - Rotates with Stepehen Ireland who is better than I thought. Gets a few goals, but theres more to come from him. FC - Rolando Bianchi - Really good season. Operates well as the lone striker, he was out for 2-3months, and since he's come back he's proppelled me from 7th to 2nd!! Anyone suggest potential signings that will fit into theis system?? If i stay in the Champions League Places, I'm thinking of the following in the summer: Tranquillo Barnetta (Free if he comes) Matias Fernandez (£11-12M) Vagner Love (Free if he comes) Joao Carlos (Backup for Andreas Isaksson) Ever Banega (£6M) ALREADY GOT HIM Breno (Already signed him in January, but sent him back to Brazil on loan, as he wouldn't get on yet before Dunne or Corluka. Any other potential signings that would work well???? Would Johnson be able to play as the DMC?? I'm hearing a lot of love for VDV, how much would he cost 2nd season?? Is barnetta or vagner love any good for free signings?? When is a good time to put sturridge into the first team? He's scoring for fun in the reserves!!

teeyougee Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Buy Fernandez - but he'll probably cost around 15M+ in season 2. V.Love will cost you 6M compensation. Johnson is my backup DM. He's not solid against tough teams or away games, but he's good in most home games. I would buy a better LB, MR, ML and STR. Possibly Taiwo, Gyan, Menez and Fred?

teeyougee Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I'm in February, Season 2. Players bought: D.Alves - 33M (January) Behrami - 12M Taiwo - 10.5M Zapata - 10M Lucas - 9.5M (January) Menez - 9.25M Lulinha - 3M (January) Abenzoar - 975K D.Malul - 575K A.Sosnin - 550K A.Gomez - 400K Buonanotte - 300K A.Ottl - Free Thiago (Barca) - Free H.Barbosa - Free (End of season) ---Total spent £90M--- Players sold: M.Richards - 50M (40M was after an int. app) + 50% of next sale + 15M buy back clause Corluka - 50M (40M was after an int. app) + 50% of next sale Mihelic - 40M (All 40M after an int. app) + 50% of next sale Dunne - 10M Samaras - 9M Bojinov - 7M Miller - 6M Petrov - 5M Stancu - 5M + 20% Ireland - 7.5M + 50% Piatti, Torje - Loaned out ---Total made £189.5M--- My team is: GK: Isaksson/Costil DR: D.Alves/Behrami DL: Taiwo/Garrido DC: Samba/Onuoha DC: Zapata/Sakho DM: Lucas/Ottl/G.Fernandes MR: Gyan/Elano ML: Menez/Mihelic AMC: Elano/Akram/Lulinha AMC: M.Fernandez/Buonanotte STR: Briand/Bianchi I'm in 2nd place in the league, 9 points ahead Chelsea, but 4 points behind Man Utd (who are unbeaten this season). I have only lost 1 home game with Man City so far in all competitions. That was last season in the Carling Cup. I got through the Champions league group stages much easier than I expected. I had Barcelona, Sporting and Rangers in my group. I won 5, drew 1, finished top. Drew against Barca at home, then beat them 3-1 away in the last game (because they played their reserves). Playing Juventus in the 1st knockout round now. Doubt I'll make it through. Had quite a few small injuries in the team, the worst one being Isaksson out for a month again. Costil did pretty well in goal though. I plan to buy Richards back for the agreed 15M as soon as he becomes interested (might take a season or 2). I'll only be paying 7.5M too, since I recieve 50% of next sale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeyougee Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I forgot to post earlier, I won the Community Shield at the start of this season (2). I was very lucky to beat Man Utd. Season 2 Community Shield --------- Well, I managed to beat Juventus away in the 1st leg of the CL knockout round, 4-3 An exciting match, and a good come-back from the Man City boys. Juve v Man City Sadly, I was unlucky to lose in the Carling Cup finals vs Chelsea. I was 2-0 up. They pulled back 2-2, then beat me 7-6 on penalties. Ah well, I did a lot better than last season, where I got knocked out in the 3rd round. Carling Cup Final I should be able to beat or draw against Juve at home and progress if I'm not unlucky.

davehanson Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thats some impressive transfer dealings teeyougee! Just started as Man City, usual questions guys, who do I look to bring in, who do I need to offload? And, can anyone send me a good tactic, as I am really struggling with them atm, just can't seem to get mine right. Thanks, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeyougee Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks Welcome and good luck. If your using the new update - Bianchi is out on loan so you'll need a star striker. Tbh, I don't rate Bianchi, doesn't perform for me. Loan a goalkeeper since Isaksson is out for 2 months. I used Schmeichel and conceded tonnes. You're defence is strong enough for the season, though I'd buy Samba since he's cheap and great. Can get him for 500K-2M. Midfield needs some work. I'd buy/loan a DM. Flamini is good enough and can be loaned. You could get Belluschi for RM at around 5M, or Gyan around 10M. Petrovs got LM. Get M.fernandez! Absolutely awesome, only around 10M. I would buy a stiker. Briands been awesome for me, you could try him out. As for formation. I've only lost 1 home game with "The Winning V3.02" in my 2 seasons, and I just beat Juventus 6-2 with it. You can find it on the tactics forums. Not so good for away games though. G'luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably go for a 4-1-2-2-1 formation for most games, and drop a AMC for a DM for hard games. Have you been selling loads of players to bring those in, I ask because I have only been given 5.5m.

teeyougee Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I prefer Ustari over Akinfeev. Ustari is less eccentric, punches the ball away less and is better in the air.

davehanson Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 In the adapted words of Victor Meldrew: I don't ****ing believe it. I had loads of clubs, Milan, Chelsea, Arsenal, R Madrid and Barcelona etc interested in Richards. I didn't want to sell him, so just kept putting back daft counter-proposals of 60+ million. Anyway, Arsenal offer 10m, which the twat of a chairman accepts as its too good an offer to turn down! WTF?? If I as a human player offered 10m I'd get told to f off. What is going on? I offered him a new contract, as much as I could afford, 81k per week, something like 15k appearance fee plus 25% pay rise, but he decided to join Arsenal, 'a club so close to his heart'. I'm gonna rip his heart out, and that dick of a chairman. Suggestions now?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehanson Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Just gone past the August transfer window, so thought I'd give a quick update on how my transfer dealings went. Transfers In Matias Fernandez - 13m - Villarreal Justin Hoyte - Season loan - Arsenal Jeremy Menez - 9.5m - AS Monaco Fernando Belluschi - 7m - River Christopher Samba - 1.5m - Blackburn Rafael van der Vaart - 7m - HSV Jean II Makoun - 10.25m - Lille Transfers Out Sun Jihai - 1.5m - Middlesborough Nedum Onuoha - 3m - Everton Micah Richards - 10m - Arsenal Marc Laird - free - Dag & Red Just unhappy with the Richards transfer, stupid stupid chairman. Really happy with the players that I managed to bring in, thought the price for all of them was good. Wasn't really after van der Vaart, but he was transfer listed, so thought it was a good piece of business. Started ok in the league, lost just once, first game of the season at home to portsmouth. Will post a full update at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeyougee Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Very good trasnfers there Dave. You should be able to win the league with your team, or almost win. Update on my game - just started season 3. Can't be bothered to upload screenies atm, and hardly anyone comes on this thread anyway. Came 2nd in the league in the 2nd season again. Won the FA Cup again. Lost 6-5 to Valencia in the CL QF. Lost in the Carling Cup Finals on penalties. I beat Man Utd in the Community Shield this season, 5-0 up by half time. Set my team to waste time, and I conceded 2. Won it 5-2 Briand with a hat-trick. Started the league a bit rusty. But 2 wins, 1 draw 1 loss. But I made a lotta transfers, and I should be able to win it this year, if Man Utd move outta my way. Players bought: Aguero - 36M Veloso - 14M Ustari - 12M (unsettled) Walcott - 9.25M Ben Arfa - 9M (unsettled & contract expires in 1 year) Guilherme - 8.5M M.Richards - 7.5M (Paid 15M, but 50% of next sale return) - Welcome back, after a season gone LOL - I basically loaned him out for a season for 42.5M ROFL +a few youngsters ---Total spent £101M--- Players sold: Onuoha - 18M + 20% Bianchi - 14M + 50% Isaksson - 10M Garrido - 10M M.Johnson - 8.75M + 40% o.n.s G.Fernandes - 5M + 40M after next int. app. + 50% o.n.s + 7.5M buy back clause Schmeichel - Free (but 16M after 1 int. app. if they call him up) + Sunderland bought Bojinov off Genoa for 10M, and I got 5M due to the agreed 50% ---Total made £71M--- First team: GK: Isaksson DR: D.Alves DL: Guilherme DC: M.Richards DC: Zapata DM: Lucas MR: Gyan ML: M.Fernandez AMC: Elano AMC: Aguero STR: Briand Second team: GK: Costil DR: Rafinha DL: Taiwo DC: Samba DC: Sakho DM: Veloso MR: Walcott/Torje ML: Menes AMC: Ben Arfa/Lulinha AMC: P.Piatti/Buonanotte STR: Briand/Aguero Hopefully the new buys fit in, and no-one moans if I gve them enough matches.

mocko666 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Just started a Man City game and trying to emulate the team IRL and play a nice quick passing game dont intend on changing the team much in the first window and signed just one player, a midfield with 19s in tackling passing marking and heading plus 15 pace and accel 19 work rate and he is only 24 or 25 forgot at the moment, i dont rate Hamann and Gelson is just one for the future for me. He cost me my full transfer budget. Also brought in ignashevic and Dulio Davino purely for backup and hoping to sell them on at end of season for a profit Getting loads of enquiries for my youngsters and Dunne trying to either get plus 30 million for them or not sell them at all. Looking to sell a few fringe players to raise abit of cash to maybe get a new left back and possibly new right mid if i can raise enough funds. Im playing a 4-4-1-1 with Elano in the hole and Bianchi up front. Team is GK: Kasper until (Issakson is back) DR: Richards DC: Dunne DC: Corluka DL: Garrido MR: Bojinov MC: Madinguyi (sp?)

Zan87 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi folks, I'm starting my 4th season(2010-11) with Man City and was wondering if you guys can suggest any signings I need to 'strengthen' my squad? I have £45m to spend(maybe more with budget adjustment). My honours so far are: 3x Premiership Winners 3x Smaller Cups 1x Champions League Winners (been to another final) Here is my squad: GK: Ustari, Agliardi LWB: Marcelo, Taiwo RWB: Rafinha, Corluka CB: Steven Taylor, Samba CB: Corluka, Colccini AML: Matias Fernandez, Menez MR: Belluschi, Pedro Leon MC: Elano, Lulinha* MC: Lucas, Crosas*, Ignacio Camacho*, Kehl(leaving) MC: Diego, Kroos* SC: Sobis, Briand, Bianchi, Sahar* * = Hot prospects and wonederkids... I know I should probably seel a striker due to the competition I have for that one spot. Sobis is ****ing brilliant and I don't want to sell him, being two footed helps massively in that lone role. He broke his leg last season and came back with a vengeance scoring goals against the big boys. My least favourite striker is Bianchi, his stats are godly but he seems lazy most of the time or just plain unable to put some easy shots away, I reall like him but his inconsistency is going to cost him. Briand is a monster, everything I need in a lone striker. Sahar is brilliant too. I don't know what to buy/sell to strengthen, I can attract Messi and some other big stars but I'd be blowing my full budget and don't know if it's worth it. Suggestions welcome, thank you.

CraigGore Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Started as Man City and set Top Half Finish. 51million budget Brought in Bentley 10mill. Lescott 8mill, Huntelaar 12mill, Ramires 1mill. Prefered Squad is Hart/Schemiechel Richards/Onouha Corluka Dunne Lescott/ Garrido Ireland Johnson/Ramires Bentley/Petrov Elano Huntelaar/Bojinov Caiecedo/Castillo First half the season went well. Unforunately Battered by united 5-1 in carling cup 5th round but on 01/01/08 5th in the premiership. Huntelaar not fantastic a goal every two games and Elano is scoring. Great delivery from bentley and ireland and with Petrov as impact perfect. Still felt i needed more fire power so 15mill left in the kitty Brought Oscar Trejo and Aaron Ramsey. Now end of Jan what a slump am 10th. Trejo - Must buy rated by my scouts but hasn't done anything as yet. Do not know whats going wrong. I am aiming for top 7 finish going well in fa cup. I was wondering what you thought of my squad and my signings. Any improvements you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Also What budget do you get for Next season. Huge/ Average??? whast the norm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran87 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 well first time posting and i must say Man City seemed far to easy to get to the top of the Pile!!! before the latest patch every time i got to the 2nd season i won everything just by buying Banega (£5m), Barnes (£12m), Briand (£10.5m) & Enyeama (£1.6m)!! Briand & Bianchi rotated as lone striker in 4-2-3-1 (18 + 27 goals respectively) So i now have 8.02 and what a difference!!!! Im wondering if Benjani is up to it? I know as soon as Bianchi is back i can get 23+ per season from him ( if its like the old patches anyway)so in January after being 3rd in Prem - (man utd & Chelsea 5 points above me) I've finalised Catillo's signing for the £10m but wondering where to look and what to improve? (ALSO EVER BANEGA HAS ENDED UP AT CHARLTON FOR SEASON LOAN AND £4.5M AGREED PRICE ROFL) - I must also add that I never allow transfers before January as i feel it allows the players you have to gel and you get to see for yourself in the "big" matches just what to improve....
