Tactic Master Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Im a half season in in my first PL campaign and its very very close in the bottom. im 4 points safe right now, but we are playing very unstable. I was hoping with my signings that we were safer but no.. fingers crossed Good luck and well done so far for keeping above relegation The first season is always difficult in the Premiership. A word of advice... Go with the youth I've just won the Premiership with an average age of 24. I made that bid of £60,000,000 for World Class Mamadou Sakho, it was rejected, so i made a new bid of £60,000,000 plus clauses of £5,000,000 over 12 months, £2,500,000 after 50 appearences and £2,500,000 after 50 goals. The offer was accepted and a big reason was due to my relationship with the manager being very good! He is no doubt the best defender in the World at the moment so i'm very happy to depart with this insane amount of money This means Gary Butcher will have less responsability on his shoulders and Colgan can play on the Right which is his favourite position and which i've struggled to fill! All being well i should complete the challenge come the end of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cups were played by my second team as i thought i would do well to stay in the PL so i rested my first team. Not much else to say about this season, hopefully we will get some more points next season. And oh yeah, im moving in at the new stadium now, only 20.000 capacity but thats a lot better than the 6000 i have played all season.. Players: Stars Squad Arnold new signing Haufe Scott Moore Actually played better than my biggest money signing ever Gibson A bit dissapointing!!

Martin_ Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hednesford Town - 2013/14 Season - Blue Square NorthFinished: 1st (Promoted as Champions) Expected Finish: 6th We're up at the first attempt which is good news. Decided to keep the majority of flops around as I felt even they could hack at this level. They did okay up until about Christmas. We are always in the play-offs however in January I decided to bring in some football league experience with the millions we had in the bank. It helped us kick on and in the end we went up with 76 points. Andre Boucaud from Darlington and Shane Cansdell-Sherriff from Preston arrived to strengthen our midfield. At the back I bought in Charlton defender Lee Wilkie to the club. That gave us the boost we needed. All proved to be invaluable scoring over 7.00 for their average ratings. Other plus points was Jamie Taylor. He joined us last season from Grays. He scored 17 goals in a poor side so I kept him. He scored 19 this season which was a big help. Back up now and we have to make sure we perform better than last time in the BSP.

Martin_ Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Going to have one last crack at this before FM10, I've struggled to get a good long term save so I'm hoping this time will be different. Profile Kendal's rivals are Fleetwood and Lancaster, and we have a grand total of 48 season ticket holders. I've managed to sign a pretty strong XI but we're struggling for depth; I only have 15 outfield players so I'll have to cross my fingers with regards to injuries.

GreyedOutMan Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 GreyedOutMan at Boreham Wood – Season 2009-10 Right this report is the first of many of course, and they will change over time, especially at first, so any suggestions welcome. Season Report We were predicted to finish bottom this season. From the off, it looked like we would probably do better than that, with impressive wins over Lewes and Basingstoke. After that it rather fell away a bit, and we dropped like a stone for a while. However, new affiliates Chelsea sent me Morten Nielsen and on 12th September he made his debut after a medium-term injury. I don’t accept that it is cheating in any way, by the way - it’s a legitimate game feature and as such I have no problems with using it. As it happens, Nielsen wasn’t really up to much, and was only my Xth best striker this year. But his return did coincide with a recovery of form, and we continued to keep up a play-off spot chase. A few crushing defeats in the Christmas period meant that we went into the new year 4 points back from the play-off spots. You know more or less what happened from then till March. After that, we dropped a few points, and the playoffs seemed gone, and even a 94th minute penalty from Mario Noto against table-topping Maidenhead couldn’t propel us into one of the golden four spots. But it would probably have been too early for a promotion anyway, right? Blue Square Premier Performance Run in (all games since my last update!) League Table Positions Graph We did well to challenge for a playoff space this year. Next year should be a lot easier, I think. Other Competitions FA Cup – An impressive win against BSP outfit Grays gave us a money-spinning tie against Bristol Rovers, which was useful – the game netted us a handy £20k, almost doubling our bank balance, and we more than held our own against League Two opposition... Conference League Cup – Disappointing exit at the first hurdle this season. FA Trophy – Awesome run, this. What a result against Burton – it was a day when everything seemed to go right against much more prestigious opposition than normal. Burton were chasing a playoff place in the BSP…And I was even 1-0 up against mighty Rotherham in the first leg, before losing 5-2[/url]. Of course I more or less wrote off our chances of getting to the final at that stage... But The second leg was remarkable!! Wembley, here we come! The final was built up immensely, and I did deliberately take a screenshot for the FA Trophy fixtures BEFORE the final! Suspense is a great thing! But I’ll leave you in agony (!) no longer, as this is how the game panned out. A bridge too far, but it was a great run from the lads to get to Wembley for the first time. The final brought our bank balance up from £22,182 to £149,930 overnight, so well worth it, even without the pot to show for it. Season Summary Season Summary 2 Squad Transfers – Brought in some decent free transfers this season. Also a fair few duffers, which is why there were so many in total – quite a few just didn’t come off, and the defence in particular was a problem. Wage bill soared a bit, and will have to continue to offload a few as I was trying to do through most of the season. But should be OK. Season Stats – Nielsen overshadowed rather by Basham, and Gaia was a good signing… Contract Info/Value etc – A few too many big earners here, and I will be trying to cut the squad down a bit this summer and hopefully persuade a few players to take wage cuts. Basham was named player of the year. 2009-10 Team of the Season 2010-11 Historical Team – the same as it’s the first season! Youth intake The pick of the bunch. Not much else really… AWARDS Players November Player of the Month: Santos Gaia (Wells 3rd) February Player of the Month: Nathan Cartman April Player of the Month: Santos Gaia (Cartman 3rd) Me November Manager of the Month 3rd in Manager of the Year SIGNIFICANT RECORDS BROKEN THIS YEAR – as this was the first season, there would have been hundreds, so I’ve just picked a few choice ones! Most goals in a match: Mario Noto – 4 goals v Aylesbury (H), FA Cup Most games without losing: 9 – 30th Dec to 3rd Feb Career Overview Games “played” is the total games played in the season – it’s interesting to see how many I get in over each season! Will also assist if ever I get a player approaching the 1000 appearances mark.... [u] Season League Position Movement Games Played Other Achievements [/u] 2009-10 Blue Square South 8 - 56 FA Trophy runners-up [b]TOTALS[/b] Games: 56 Awards: 2 Trophies: 0 Finances A good season financially, due mainly to the good runs in the FA Cup and FA Trophy. Room for more wages now, so I wont have to be terminating contracts early. Wider World Arsenal won the premiership for the second season running (as if celebrating the wonderful win over Everton tonight!), Milan won the Champs League, Porto the UEFA Cup, and Arsenal secured the double in the FA Cup, with the League Cup going to Everton. Pompey, Wigan and Stoke were all promoted at the first time of asking, replaced by relegated West Ham, Burnley and Ipswich. The World Cup was interesting, with a few strange teams such as Honduras and Uzbekistan qualifying for South Africa. Quarter Finals: Italy v Russia; Nigeria v Australia; France v England; Argentina v Ecuador Semi Finals: Italy v Argentina; Nigeria v France Final: Argentina v France 4th Place: Nigeria 3rd Place: Italy Runner-up: Argentina WORLD CUP WINNERS: France So - 12 years on from their last World Cup win, France sit once more atop world football. An own-goal in the last minute of extra time was a harsh way for the Argies to lose, but they deserved it! Italy will host in 2018. Crystal Ball A playoff place next season would be good. Promotion is a possibility. Would be nice to pick up a first trophy, too. Hopefully some feedback on how the post style is looking in the meantime...

dafuge Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Dartford FC - Barclays Premier League - 2029/30 With a new stadium and years of dominance I was expecting another dominant season. League Table League Positions Graph It looked like it would be the same old story with Man City taking advantage of the games in hand but we had a six game win-less streak which made things interesting. We lost our penultimate game which would have secured the title for us so the last day meant we needed just a draw away at Chelsea. We won 2-1 while Man City lost to West Ham. Community Shield - pretty lucky to come away with the shield. UEFA Super Cup - utterly dominant, poor finishing kept the scoreline respectable. Club World Cup - another dominant display. Carling Cup - with an early exit last year I wanted to make an impression this time, so when drawn against our biggest rivals I put out our strongest team. Things didn't work out as we lost a close game. FA Cup - this was a huge shock as Championship Stoke knocked us out of the FA Cup. The first match was hugely one sided as we had 11 shots to their 1, the replay wasn't as one sided but we were still the better team. This ended our run of making five consecutive finals with four wins. UEFA Champions League - Dartford vs Real Madrid for the third time in a row and the same result yet again. Things were far too easy for us yet again. Transfers - a few unneeded players were sold for a massive profit. Clifford was a great wonderkid but with Caddis in the team and another younger wonderkid in his position that bid was just too good to turn down. Squad - my efforts to introduce youth players are failing miserably, they are just not good enough. As a number of players reach their thirties I am starting to worry that they will not be replaced unless I get aggressive in the transfer market again. Key Player Profiles: Oswaldo Even - injuries ruled him out for a few weeks so he wasn't as prolific as usual. Jerome Russell - like Even, he missed a few games but maintained his great goalscoring record. Ryan Caddis - probably his greatest season yet, he is pure genius. Nicolas Monaco - with the injuries to our best strikers Nicolas had the chance to shine once again. Saifallah Zitouni - sadly I think this is the end of a legend. Zitouni has pretty much run this club for a number of years and we have suffered from a dip in his form. Along with Patrik Keil, I think he is an older player that may need replacing.

dafuge Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 England - World Cup - 2030 I took this job with the intention of qualifying for the World Cup in the USA (turnips ahoy!) and hopefully winning it. Qualification went fairly smoothly, although a defeat to Turkey at Wembley put a little bit of doubt in our minds. The group draw put us with Chile, Japan and ... Turkey. It looks like an easy group but all three teams are capable of an upset. Turkey vs England (group stage) We had revenge on our minds but Turkey had the better start. In the end it took a very late goal to give us the result we deserved. England vs Japan (group stage) It looked like a shock was on the cards as we left it late to grab the win. This win secured qualification from the group. Chile vs England (group stage) We were already through but I wanted to keep the momentum going, I sent the best team out possible and two Dartford boys got the goals. Final Group Table Things went to plan and we meet Cameroon in the next round. England vs Cameroon (2nd round) We made really hard work of a game that should have been easy, we got the result in the end though. We draw Australia in the quarter final. Australia vs England (quarter final) It took a while but once the breakthrough came we were well in control. We meet hosts USA in the next round. USA vs England (semi final) We were missing five players but no one expected this. Following the match I resigned.

Jtomsett11 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Farnborough - Blue Square South 09/10 Media expectations: 16th My expectation: 5th or above Position: 1st League Table Overall a fantastic start to the challenge. I didn't really know what to expect when i started, made the following Transfers, although until late November when i signed Van den berg, Threfall and Hansen i was lying in and around the playoff places, from december onwards i was top of the league and easily won it in the end with 3 games to go. My star player was Vasilev on loan from feeder club Reading, he initially struggled, but the signing of wingers Marna and van Den berg increased the quality of service, (although Wheeler, another winger performed solidly all season and was close to winning player of the season) and he and my other main striker Jahson Downes started scoring more frequently, helping us to start accelerating away from the other promotion chasing teams. As far as cup competitions went, i was knocked out of the 1st round of the FA Cup against kettering 0-1 at home, i had enough chances to at least snatch a draw but let in a sloppy goal to go out, although the board was happy as we had got a round further than they had expected. I lost at home to Mansfield in the 2nd round of the FA trophy, again having should have probably won, and went out out the Conference cup in the first round, but this was not a priority this season. Next season goals: Promotion if possible, at least finishing around the play-off positions : Keep wages low and increase finances as they are in the red : Get further in the FA trophy and FA cup for financial purposes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoham Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 No, I think the holidaying for a season and choosing an unplayable team will still be part of it. If it is possible, I want to still be able to play without any actual editing, so all I'm looking for is a way to add the three feeder leagues.Since the reputation of the lower leagues are the same and there is very little research at that level, I cant imagine managing in step 8 would be any good as you could be facing teams of grey players every week. Like I've said, it is something I'm going to have to look into and unfortunately a decision won't be possible until the game is released. Not that I know what SI's plans are, but maybe they'll come up with a way around that. Surely something they've thought about, and the game already generates youth players when there are gaps in squads for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mocko666 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 End of the season arrived and I will only be doing quick updates until I come off of my holidays. All the cups were very short as I was kicked out in the early rounds to teams from divisions above mine. The league was won quite easily, down to my home form, as I won all but one of my home games drawing the other. Away form was quite sketchy so I can only hope it improves for next season.

hrbfcrule Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Staines Town 12th Season 20/21 Championship Competitions: League Cup: lost in 2nd round to rotherham 2-1 Fa Cup: lost in 5th round to boro 2-0 League Squad, Transfers we had a great start to the season and until boro and reading found some form we were top of the championship. from then till january we occupied 3rd place. After january we slowly slipped down the playoff places due to many players leaving in the jan transfer window, we found some form in the last few games to make sure we would be in the playoffs with 3 games to spare and a solid 5th place finish And coincidentally we were drawn against bradford in the semis for the 2nd season in a row this time they finished 4th and i finished 5th Playoff Semi Final 1st leg: even though they had finished higher than us i was confident of victory as we hadn't lost to them in the last 9 encounters ( 4 wins 5 draws) my confidence was justified when tony ward(who i had resigned after his contract expired) put us ahead after just 13 mins. Then staines's all time top scorer finished it off in 93rd min to give us a slightly fortunate 2-0 lead Playoff semi final 2nd leg: They dominated the match but couldn't find an opening until the 93rd min but it was too little too late for them and despite our 1st loss to them in 11 meetings we still went through to the playoff final for the 2nd year running. Playoff Final: It was a very even game despite the shots saying otherwise. and on the 22nd min who else but tony ward put us ahead ( he also gained the most league appearances for the club). From then on they pushed forward in search of the equaliser but we held firm and finally, after our 3rd consecutive appearance in the championship playoffs we have been promoted to the premiership. Cups: League cup was very disappointing as we went out on the 1st hurdle to rotherham in lge 1, but it could have been a blessing in disguise as it gave as more time to focus on the league Fa cup was good, we thrashed lge1 exeter 4-0 before beating liverpool 1-0 at home before eventually losing to boro 2-0 Other: Finances, these were helped a lot in january and over the season we made 11mill on transfers Career Summary: Season1 : BSS - 1st - Promoted as champions Season2 : BSN - 3rd - Promoted through Playoffs Season3 : L2 - 5th - Lost in playoff semi final Season4 : L2 - 2nd - Promotion Season5 : L1 - 18th - N/A Season6 : L1 - 5th - Lost in playoff semi final Season7 : L1 - 1st - Promoted as champions + jpt winners Season8 : CH - 17th - N/A Season9 : CH - 9th - N/A Season10:CH - 5th - Lost in Playoff semi final Season11:CH - 4th - Lost in Playoff final Season12:CH - 5th - Promoted through playoffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 My 18 year-old wonderkid Chris Charles has just broken the record for assists in a season for my Merthyr side. The previous record was 24, shared by Brazilian international Odair in 2023/24 and Craig Fraser in 2027/28. Charles now has 26, with 3 Premier league matches remaining and the Champions league final. Quite an achievement for his first season as a first-team player, and considering the players his record has beaten. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Does anyone have any advice about how to survive you 1st season in the prem? Should i sign loads of players and spend big? i think my squad is a good championship side and dont think it is good enough for the prem at the moment I usually gamble and spend big based on the fact that the jump in quality of players you can scout/attract in the PL is massive.

kaNovi Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Congrats hrbfcrule.. ived managed to stay up both times i have gotton to the premier league, but it has been a real real struggle both times. I usually try to strengthen ,in my opinion, the weakest players.. and when i run out of money i usually think i have a good enough squad. The money is much better in the PL so you can get some okay players. I play with only one striker and have a real good tactic on corners with has helped me a great great deal.. Good luck in the big league.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
