Jogo Bonito Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 1 minute ago, Ronaldo Beckham said: I thought the create a club mode was one where you create a brand new club from scratch or have I got it wrong what you were saying. You can. Basically you take over a club and can clear the entire squad and staff and even re-name the club, stadium, nickname and where they are based. I don't do that, as franchise stuff doesn't appeal (e.g. I love T20 cricket but could never watch IPL or this new 100 tournament coming along). I just use it to tweak a couple of bits and crack on from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for explaining it to me Jogo. No worries. I don't change much at all - just three signings in, kept the staff, kept the club history, cut the affiliate links and released a few players from the squad. Here is what I was left with... I should add that I used this mode for Bolton and made them too strong in error, which kind of ruined it for me. I don't use the mode to enjoy 'win win' tactics, just to create a squad I will find enjoyable to manage (and realistic). It takes a bit of work to get the balance right but I feel I have on this Brentford one. I seriously looked at managing Oxford to enjoy Baptiste and QPR (to sign Baptiste) but their budget didn't allow it as Oxford wanted way over his actual valuation. Going with Brentford allowed me to have both from the outset and to manage an exciting team. However, I wouldn't rule out a proper go with QPR or even a create a club go with them and just sign Baptiste. It's not the winning that counts...(it's the enjoyment).

Jogo Bonito Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Well, that wasn't a good start. Raya was out, then Henry got injured (still out) and Mbeumo was awful as IF on the right. I've moved Benrahma to the right as a winger and installed Eze in to the starting line up as a No. 10 slightly to the left of centre and things have picked up. I was sat in 24th for a moment but have clawed my way up to 14th after 6 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Beckham Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Brentford Reboot Small Update Currently top of the league with a 5 point lead, I have won 11, drawn 1 and lost 2. Here is my tactic as well if anyone is interested. Stand out player is again Mbeumo with 8 goals in 13 games, he plays very well as an AF partnered up front with a Pressing Forward. Benrahma and Canos are performing much better in this save Honorable mention goes to Mathias Jensen who has the best average rating, has 6 assists, 4 goals and 5 man of the match awards.

Welcome to the thread @Gross_Ballon My only advice is to play as them how you want to, I have started again as Brentford after getting promoted to the Prem the first time I done it but felt like I wasn't sticking to the club ethos. Maybe get rid of some of the older players and if you ever have any clubs go for your best players then sell them and make money, re-invest in youth Scandinavian players. If I was you I would load up players from Scandinavia region as there is so many good to great players who are very cheap. If you need any help then feel free to post in here and I and others will help you as best as possible. Last bit of advice is play Mbeumo as an Advanced Forward.

Ronaldo Beckham Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Brentford Reboot Season 1 Update Guess who got promoted again then lol. Nice little budget for my first season in Prem, I got given 37m for tranfers and an extra 200k in my wage budge. I don't think I will sign many players, I will see who my DOF tries to sign but I wont be signing the players I signed last time. Mbeumo was top scorer and Mattias Jensen was overall best player with with best average rating and most assists. My aim is to just try stay in the Prem for my 2nd season with Brentford.

dothestrand Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Finally finished the first season. Didn't do too much on the transfer front besides letting Mokotjo go mid-season. I was sitting in the play off spots most of the season. Happy to stay there and not bothered if we didn't go up. Even going into the last game in 3rd 3pts behind Fulham, I was happy, but as you'll see. So a lot of work to do this Summer - can't wait for the inevitable new contract requests!

Ronaldo Beckham Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Brentford Reboot Season 2 Update As expected I am struggling in my first season in the Prem so far coming up to the high way point of the season. Only 11 points after 15 games is not good enough and results need to start going my way as I want to get 40 points but that might be tough. Ollie Watkins being the only standout player with 5 goals from 11 games. I spent 20 million on players in the summer, recooping 3 million in player sales. My main signing was Allan Campbell from Motherwell for 7.5 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jogo Bonito Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 @Ronaldo Beckham Good luck with that.

dothestrand Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Thanks @Jogo Bonito and @Ronaldo Beckham the promotion was unexpected but I'm pretty sure the board wanted it within 2-3 seasons according to the club vision anyway. I think we'll certainly need an upgrade at RB and I'm looking at Rasmus Nissen Kristensen of RB Salzburg, who has a good, consistent set of attributes and is another Dane. Plus he's available for between 7-10m and I'll hope to get half that back on Dalsgaard. We have a lot of CM options so I may not be bothered about strengthening that too much - I did get a bid for Evander accepted but he wanted about 90k per week! It'll definitely be the AM and CF positions we need to improve. I sold Canos to Palace, although they were proper tightwads and only offered his value with instalments included. I accepted as he's not the quality I want ideally anyway. The one part of the club vision I never meet is signing lower division players. So hard to find anything half decent, even regens.

My transfers for going into the premier league are attached, get decent money to spend...however the wage budget was around 600k, and the board really didn't like me spending over 15m on a single transfer requesting i cancel several deals (Patrik Cutrone being the most notable!)

Ronaldo Beckham Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Brentford Reboot Season 2 Review I managed to stay up with 4 games to go. I went on a really good run near the end but before that it was touch and go with me and Burnley neck and neck on points and them having a better points total. I ended 12th in the league in the end which was a lot better then I hoped for, especially as I was 17th or lower most of the season. I went on a good run as I said,I went unbeaten in all of April winning all my games. I lacked a goal threat with Mohammed Daramy getting the most with 11 goals, Allan Campbell was all round best player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
