dexta200 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 misake in post above. i beat oxford city 4-1 sorry. great 1st game against cambridge 3-0 winners with goals from Dayton and two from Ledgister absolutely dominated the game. 2nd game: Farsley 0-2 Oxford (Hoskins, McLeod) once again dominated only had 4 shots against me in total in league hopefully keep that low lol. so far so good. Burton 1-3 Oxford (McLeod 2, Ledgister) still only 7 shots against me. im really liking the tactic. just wish my strikers would hit the back of the net more often i reckon once they have settled in they should. top of the league on gd after 3 games along way to go yet though! off to bed now, gotta be up at 5am for work Night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypresfr Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Night mate. Damn you and your obscure French teams: I can't find most of your signings! I'm sure they'll do fine tho judging by the start you've made! Enjoy work! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ypresfr Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Looks good mate, stick with it! I've lost my unbeaten record in League 1: lost to Hull 1-0... But bouncing back spectacularly in the FA Cup 6th round... Tottenham 0-1 Oxford (Salomonsson) And I had 10 men for the last half hour cos Bernardo got stupidly sent off. Also we had a Vokes goal (unfairly) ruled out. Feeder club beats parent club, now I'll sleep well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale0718 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Well done mate I'm just drawing 1-1 in the first round of the FA cup, doubt i can get past this round Where are you in the league now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyowl Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hey guys quick update Won the JPT 5-3 against Sheff Wed. Made the playoffs beat Scunthorpe 4-3 on agg and then Doncaster 4-3 in the final. Just another point this new tactic gives a lot of high scoring games. Scored 7 in 3 games and 8 in another in total I scored 116 and conceded 76 and that was despite being in the relegation zone after 10 games. For all those starting out Marcus Stewart and Michael Coulson are great signings. Marcus scored 27 in the BSP and Coulson scored 36 goals in 35 games in League 2 and 23 in League 1.

Chewy2006 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 hey guys, i don't beleive it! ypresfr how the hell r u doing so well wit Oxford in league 1. I am playing as MK Dons at minute just about to start my third season in The Championship. 1st season won League 2 by some distance getting 104 points along the way, 2nd season finished 5th in League 1 and got promoted. Now here is where i am stuck after two seasons of 15th and 14th respectible i can't seem to push my team onto the next level. This is where u come in Ypresfr I was wondering if i cud try ur tactic out with my team and see if it can change my fortunes around. If not cud u give me any tips Cheers in advance and sorry for long post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypresfr Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 It's cos I'm a legend! Seriously tho, tbh I don't know how I'm doing so well! In all my other FM games I've done okay but nothing amazing and now we're motoring along, brilliant! My tactic really is nothing special, it's just a 4-4-2 with small farrows on the wingers and no changes to the team instructions. Beware tho mate I wouldn't rely totally on my advice cos others have been much less successful by following it. Another thing is that I've been quite lucky with signings and work permits. Emil Salomonsson has been a fb signing, still my best RW an he was free as well! It's in part down to South Americans such as Estrada (now sold to Newcastle for £4 mill!), Leandro de Oliviera and Adilson that I did so well in the BSP but Dexta200 didn't get wp's for any of them! (TIP: If you start a new game load all players from South American countries and pray that you're lucky wih wp;s: there are some gems!) Whilst in League 2 I bought a certain Mr Liviu Ganea who has been just phenomenal, with over 80 league goals in under 2 seasons, and don't even get me started on the cups! Again South Americans such as Bernardo (MC from Cruzeiro) and David Yepes (DC £45k bargain with 20 heading and jumping has murdered the corner bug) have got me loads of points. So, League 1 and this is my team (in brackets: price/season bought): GK: Scribe (£12k/L2), Medran (£95k/L1) DR: San Roman (£22k/L1), Para (£850k/L2) DL: Bertrand (Loan/L1), Eron (£95k/L1) DC: Obama (£240k/L2), Christie (Regen) DC: Yepes (£45k/L2), A Bamba (£130k/L1) MR: Salomonsson (Free/BSP), Gerrard (Regen) ML: Braaten (£900k + Seyfo Soley/L1), Adam Johnson (Loan/L1) MC: Bernardo (£325k/L2), Mark Davies (£350k/L1) MC: Elvio Martinez (£80k/L1), Tamir Cohen (£235k/L1) FC: Barcham (Loan/L1), Vokes (£300k/L2) FC: Ganea (£375k/L2), Andrade (£4k/L2) BSP= 1st season, L2= 2nd season, L1= 3rd season. In terms of attracting players it probably helped that I won three cups 1st season to boost the rep a bit as well as the JPT season 2. Oxford's rep isn't bad to begin with tbh so that's also a reason. Also finances go up really quickly if you're Oxford, only helped by winning cups and selling players for profits ofc. A few pieces of general advice: 1) Loans, loans, loans... love them! Get yourself a good parent club (Spurs are mine) and bleed them for all they've got! Maghoma, Alnwick, Riley, Barcham, Forecast are all great players I've got from them. Also, look at the reserves of Prem clubs. I've had players such as Zoltan Harsanyi, Gabriel Zakuani, David Edgar, Ryan Bertrand and Adam Johnson who worked wonders for me! 2) Look at relegated clubs. Wolves got relegated from the Championship on mine so I nicked Davies off them on the (fairly) cheap. Bournemouth also got relegated so I got Vokes off them. They're a cheap gold mine! 3) Don't reject the rejects! Richard Hughes, Tamir Cohen and Daniel Braaten were all rotting in the reserves of one club or another but they're still class players. Snap them up cheaply! 4) Think outside the box. Romania for example is where I got Ganea from (Dinamo Bucharest btw) an look what he's done! As previously mentioned South America is an excellent place to find cheap, quality players! Phew! And you thought your post was long! Enough of my waffling, if you have anyone questions don't be afraid to ask! Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylincoln Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Got promoted into league 2 bit in quick need of a gk got 60k in the kitty so a loan might will prob be the best; heaton and forecast are already taken. any suggestions? many thanks. andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ypresfr Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Andy, Anthony Scribe from Montpellier is a quality keeper and can be picked up for about £12k. Otherwise try for Ben Alnwick on loan, he was solid for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 yeah i was going to say scribe not sure you will get him to come to league 2 but you never know! how you doing matt? i was hoping to go unbeaten with a great start won 5 in a row comfortably then lost 2 :S stevanage and exeter, they keep scoring goals even without having many shots. stevenage had 3 shots and beat me 1-0 exeter also had 3 and scored 2!! takes the p*ss. i have been dominating games, 53%, 58% possession in those games and overall 21 shots but only 5 on target! terrible!!

andylincoln Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 hi mate, tried scribe did not want to come to england will try for alnwick but he is in the spurs 1st team at the moment. signed gregan(oldham)MC mclean(peterboro)ST hammond(leicester)ST ebanks blake(loan from wolves)ST emmanual(luton)DL ikeme (wolves)GK. thanks for the quick reply. andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylincoln Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 yes would not come. really happy with the squad except a gk. still got solomonnson, ritas and sabin from last season, released mcallister, jeannin and russell hoult from last year, still kept trainer and rose but have just signed jeff whitley from wrexham so midfield looks well packed but still well below the wage bill. told the board promotion so ended up with 240k, spent 150 on mclean. finished last year on 93 points quite happy with that as i was struggling into the new year. will keep you updated. andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypresfr Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Tom, unlucky mate. There was a bug on the earlier patches iirc but it's supposed to have been sorted now. I've not played at all tonight: too busy! Andy, good signings mate, Ebanks-Blake should be good as well as Emanuel (was thinking of signing him myself). You might not get Alnwick then.

David Bevan has gone back to villa so im searching for a loan GK but i have got Adda Djeziri from Portsmouth just scored 2 on his debut! looks a lot better than most of my players! also brought in Adrian Leijer from Fulham looks like he could be a pretty solid centre back for me! well for 3 months anyway. been drawn against Notts Forest in FA Cup 1st round. hes only young but i got Preston Edwards on loan as my GK now. suppose no younger than Bevan hopefully he will do well for 3 months anyway!

ypresfr Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Tom, strange you should ask about the cups mate, got through to the FA Cup semis and played some team from London owned by a Russian bloke with loads of money! You might know them... So I thought I'd return the favour you did for me or your game against Bolton. So here goes, It's the biggest day in many of the Oxford's players careers as they travel to Wembley to take on current Prem champs Chelsea. The giant-killing performed by Oxford in this season's FA Cup is amazing having beaten teams such as Everton and Tottenham to come this far. Surely they can't do it again... Odds: Chelsea- 1/6, Oxford- 10/1 Chelsea GK: Cech DR: Ivanovic DL: A Cole DC: Alex DC: Terry (capt) DM: Essien MC: Lampard MC: Ballack AMC: Modric FC: Drogba FC: Anelka SUBS: Taylor, Bridge, J Cole, van der Vaart, Sinclair Oxford GK: Scribe DR: San Roman DL: Para (Bertrand ineligble) DC: Obama (capt) DC: Yepes MR: Salomonsson ML: Braaten MC: Bernardo MC: Martinez FC: Barcham FC: Ganea SUBS: Medran, Anderson Bamba, Adam Johnson, Vokes, Mark Davies Kick Off: Ganea and Barcham set the ball rolling 06 mins: Drogba SCORES!!! Curled into the net from the edge of the area. 13: Martinez SCORES!!! Instant reply by Oxford. Volleyed home from 10 yards. 14: Ganea heads just over from Braaten's cross 27: Anelka SCORES!!! Flicked near post header from Modric's corner. 40: Yepes almost equalises with a towering header. HT: A valient Oxford performance but Chelsea lead 2-1. 47: Martinez stings Cech's hands with a 30 yard strike. 54: Terry heads just over from Ballack's free kick. 56: Ganea hits the bar from Salomonsson's cross 59: J Cole on for Drogba. Vokes on for Barcham. 64: Cech saves brilliantly from Ganea's flicked effort. 65: A Johnson on for Salomonsson. 72: Martinez's effort cleared off the line by Essien as Oxford coninue applying pressure. 76: Sinclair on for Ballack. 78: Bernardo SCORES!!! Oxford equalise through Bernardo's deflected free kick. 89: Johnson hits the post from a tight angle. 92: Braaten shoots just wide from 25 yards. FT: Extra time for Oxford's brave players to contend with. 98: Own goal, Oxford SCORE!!! Alex deflects an Obama drive past a despairing Cech... can they hang on? 101: Scribe saves a low drive from Anelka. HT: 15 mins until Oxford are in dreamland! 109: Ganea has a goal ruled out for a foul, Oxford's bench is furious! 111: Anelka SCORES!!! Slips it underneath the advancing Scribe and Chelsea's fans breathe once again. 113: Van der Vaart on for Essien. 115: Anelka has a goal rightly ruled out for offside, despite Chelsea protests. PENALTIES: Can Oxford's fans (and manager) take any more? Obama... scores!!! Modric... scores!!! Yepes... saved. Ivanovic... over. Vokes... scores!!! Anelka... saved. Braaten... scores!!! Van der Vaart... scores!!! Bernardo to win it... over. Sinclair must score... scores!!! Ganea... wide. Lampard... scores!!! Chelsea win 4-3 on penalties. Cruel game: football.

ypresfr Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hmm, an interesting situation. The date is 6th April 2010 and we've run away with League 1 and just winding down now, preparing for the Championship. Chelsea, struggling (9th in the Prem and just squeaked past us in the FA semis) have lost patience and sacked Grant. They must have been impressed with my tactical skills in the FA Cup cos they've offered me the job: £37.5 million transfer budget £2.1 million per week wage budget Target to win Prem after 2 years Squad is generally good but needs improvement. So what should I do? Take Oxford further or leave for the heady heights of Stamford Bridge? I'm leaving it for tonight and coming back to it tomorrow. Any suggestions guys?
