Tactic Master Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 hmm...... i get 24000 with large. could you post a screen of the database set-up with the custom box up so i can see what you have done oh! did you load what was in my screen shot! if you did, thats fine as it is the setup i have, but you didnt have to load all of those players. the only things needed were the top clubs in europe and the regional premiers. Is it possible to get a screenshot of this on my save? Only thing I can find to screenshot is the Leagues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactic Master Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 TM- dont knock it. they are in the top half of the league even with that record! I just nearly had a heart attack! Second game against another top team (AFC Telford) and I was 4 - 0 up untill the 75th minute, they scored, then 82nd, then 85th, so it was 4 - 3... I'm sure you can understand what was running through my head! My striker put a header away in the 89th minute to win 5 - 3 Note: I wont be making a habit of posting about each and every match, this just needed to be talked about! Madness!

TWFL Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Elliot van Barthold has been unveiled as the new manager of Carshalton Athletic. They were the highest predicted team out of those promoted.

Squad: Not much cover for positions but some good quality players for BSS level. Finances: Pretty average. Hoping to get them up quickly. The Youth: Only found one player in the U18s but he was rated pretty highly. His name is Jack Devonshire and is predicted to be a lot better than my current striker. Let's see how much better..

Nottingham Forest Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I know it'll be tough and I know fitness will be an issue. But I don't think it's helping that I'm playing them every 3 days .

stothy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Jake Stothard takes charge at Chester. He has made a statement suggesting he will be attempting to hold a steady defence and attack teams on the break. He also stated he was worried about the lack of pace in the squad, though he faith he could pull it off. He hopes to carry on the clubs promotion form and pull off a back to back promotion.
