jess boi Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 haha well nice one mate good decision! yeh makes me larf wen people are like rate my team for chelsea or something, how boring is rating torres and ben arfa! lower league ten times better imo!! i actually did 3 seasons with shaktar until isaw the oxford thread and i quit a qpr game earlier as well lol wernt for me, put off by the too easy transfer fee lyons a big thread but again thats too easy, oxford all the way and i suppose with a large stadium the more promotions the more sell outs, that lad who got to the prem fair play ! i rekon itll take me ages to do that lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jess boi Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 well dun mate that must take some doing, i dont think i could do more than one save with the same team tbh lol i was trying to think of a team to start a thread on the other day but just went blank, i rekon a network game would be a good laugh in the indian leagues lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 lol naah to boring playing in those leagues i hate games where you can never make a club good enough to buy the top players. at least with a team like oxford you can get the Zapaters and Ilsinhos etc! network game in scotland with celtic n rangers is fun. make sure you play oxford for a while! once your in league one its so fun!!

dexta200 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 out of the league cup. 3-1 losers to Fulham which i find strange not in a million years would fulham be able to beat a smaller team than them in a cup.. i was going to write team then lol any team there rubbish. but for some reason they have quality players on my game. unrealistic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess boi Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 haha fulhuam, pathetic team they are, atleast they got jimmy bullard for some well earned banter! well i just lost 1-0 away to weymouth and im thinking 4-4-2 with a bit of tweaking is wats needed to get through this league, nothing complicated i did a network game ages ago with a few mates, i was newcastle and 2nd up to the last game of the season, chelsea were top. I had to beat arsenal and gamble on my mat ( playing as portsmouth beating chelsea) well i won and portsmouth were winning up until the last minute where he purposely put david james up front, wat a twat honestly i was so close, still i finished second lol have u ever tried a network game with people from the forums?

Mike_Cardinal Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm really getting fed up with my Woking game and even in the Premiership the complete inability to attract any quality players. 8 seasons in and 9th is my best finish in the Prem. So, I think I'll jump on the Oxford bandwagon with a higher reputation and more transfer funds. Should be cake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Cardinal Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Good lord that was a quick response. I've heard tell of Sylvain Ebanks-Blanke coming on loan first season!? Is that just for 3 months or will he really come for the entire year? Anyway, I've got the rest of the team pretty much covered. Preston Edwards on loan is one I always do, generally keep restarting until he gets a very high PA then I can get on his favoured personnel and he can be a star of the future willing to come to me. It doesn't really matter that he isn't as good as Tommy Forecast from the start or whoever. I'll see who Oxford can actually attract for the rest of the team though.

Sparky_07 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 briz_lad Ill give this a try when I get home. Do you change anything else when your losing or need to hold onto a lead? A question to everyone...Have you hired new staff and changed your training schedules or just kept the default schedule? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 i only got him for 3months but i never tried the whole season. because i forgot to change it. Edwards will be good. Zombie had him and only conceded 30 all season. Salomonsson, Soley, Sabic, Estrada, Ionescu, Cordos, San Roman, Devineau. all great players who are willing to come, Leandro de Oliviera aswell. its weird everyone who comes on loan to oxford endsup with them in favoured personnel even for 3months must be a lovely club lol. Sparky at the moment i only have a new GK coach because someone stole mine. and i use tugs training like always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Cardinal Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Personally, I never change the schedule as I don't really notice much difference, but I do replace the staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Sparky i wouldnt change your staff until your allowed to hire more coaches really maybe replace them if you find a great one on low wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky_07 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yes I have replaced some of my staff got 2 decent scouts. An Assistant manager and a couple of coaches and a physio.

briz_lad Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 sparky it depends really but i normally sacrifice my defensive midfielder for a striker and play more direct. when i'm holding onto a lead i put 1 upfront and play either another defensive midfielder or another defender depending on whose on the bench. also i put the fullbacks forward runs to rarely. hope this helps i got most of my staff from international staff who aren't connected to a club. the best place to look is holland i also have niedzwiecki as my assistant manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
