ypresfr Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Haha well sorry for crushing your long-term dreams Zombie: you'll have to win the Prem first season as well! Quality transfers btw: Wilshere, Millan, Bostock, Barkroth all great players and fb prices! I still can't get over the fact you got Sakho and Sankharé in League one! Keep it up mate. Sparky, haha I don't actually know. Just luck I guess... and fantastic management ofc! Briz, how big are your crowds in the Prem mate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
briz_lad Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 sparky maybe your tactics need changing or different players. what tactic are you using atm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
briz_lad Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 ypresfr my capacity is roughly 26500 which i sell out regularly so i'm hoping i can expand it. what about yours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ypresfr Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Cheers. Yeah, mine's similar. Quite close to 30,000 but I still regularly sell it out. The board are still "considering my request" for more expansions: hoping to get into a new stadium sometime! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Cardinal Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Pretty chuffed atm, after a brilliant comeback from the lads! Away at Northampton in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, I went 3-0 down and managed to bring it back to a replay at my place! Hopefully can beat them there! http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2wltx1h&s=3 I got VERY lucky with penalties, I think I've had 3 all season before this game, but then the game was pretty much even, and I was on top for most of the second half. Genius half time team talk ofc! (Where's the passion lads?) 2 of their goals were 25 yard free kicks, and the two that scored them both had 8 and 10 for free kicks and 5 and 3 for long shots, so pretty annoyed, and about giving a penalty. Preston Edwards seems to have some sort of issue with long range shots! But anyway, happy days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Cardinal Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Ugh, another rubbish draw. If I manage to get through, I've got Bristol City away in the next round. Similar case of bound to lose, not going to get any money in the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

briz_lad Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 neil welcome mate. 1. load all players from romania serbia argentina france colombia and brazil. 2. get yourself a parent club. 3. soley estrada yepes and salomonsson are all good signings. 4. the finances go up really quickly and you can attract a decent standard of player. good luck and keep us updated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess boi Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 alrite lads havent posted in about 3 days but just an update, going into january im 3rd in league 1! briz mate your tactics seems to be working wonders, wellington and charlie sheringham are also playing very well theres a good chance i could really go up this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Kennedy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 briz_lad thanks for your reply, i already started on 8.0.2 and alot those players apart from salomonsson look hard to get, would i b better starting again on 8.0.0? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ypresfr Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Neil, welcome mate. Briz is completely right ofc. Also try for Nylen, didn't have him personally but he's done fantastically for others. Loans are key. Look in Prem reserves and also Ebanks-Blake and Charlie Sheringham. A parent club is an advantage as Briz said. Shouldn't be a prob getting Salomonsson on 8.0.2, everyone on here has managed it and he's Championship quality when he's developed imo. Good luck mate and enjoy! jess, great to hear it mate: keep it up! Sparky, brill turn around mate: 7-1 what a result!

ypresfr Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Sparky, great recovery mate. The autos look a bit out of reach but you seem to be hot favourites for the play-offs. The Chelski game should get you some cash, and continue the Oxford vs Chelsea saga in the FA Cup from my game! Who has been your best players mate?

ypresfr Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Very nice Sparky. Good old Ebanks and Josh Wright, tried and tested Oxford legends! Don't you thinnk your squad is a bit big tho? As for me, I've bought Agbonlahor for £9 mill with the view to bringing hiom on if all is not going well around the hour mark and letting him rung rings around the tired opposition defence! Loads of regens too, some won't get in the first team but will make a nicve profit in a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnetboyz Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 just added some free transfers to my squad on the last day of the free transfer thing Dean Windass Sylvain Legwinski Leon Constantine plus a young greek and michael johnson from derby WINDASS \o/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnetboyz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 2007/08 Season Review Squad Top 5 Players 1. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake 2. Will Hoskins 3. Kyel Reid 4. Emil Salomonsson 5. Danny Rose Will need a good keeper for next season and will get rid of a few oldies Blue Square Premier National Cups FA Cup - Knocked out by Man Utd 3-1 in the 3rd round Setanta Shield Final FA Trophy Final Upcoming Season.. With Ebanks & Hoskins going i expect i will need goalscorers (hopefully will look to pick up Kevin Phillips on a free but i think he might want big money) / Also a new keeper is needed as i've lost faith Nielsen (although he is worth 50k so can sell for a bit) Notts Forest, Brighton, Port Vale & Bournemouth will be joining the League 2 after terrible seasons in League 1 but that means that Vokes might be cheap as Bournemouth are struggling with money Other transfer targets include Tony Warner, Ian Walker, Patrik Berger and a few youngsters probably anyway roll on next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 nice barnet. why not go for Scribe for your GK he is a brilliant one even at his age! try get Ebanks back on loan, forget hoskins though, Rhys Murphy, Tomas Pakhart, Dany Welbeck all great strikers for league 2 try loans no need to get phillips i dont think and oh of course spend all your money on GANEA!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnetboyz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Ganea is a no go as he is currently worth 120k and i have about 20k Scribe looks ok but his mental stats are a huge huge let down (only 3 in double figures) will just look to load up on young free transfers and get mid table in L2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexta200 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 trust me scribe improves greatly and is a fantastic shot stopper miles betterthan any keeper currently in league 2! have you got your budget for this season? should get around 200k!

Barnetboyz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 haven't got the budget yet as i'm waiting until the seaosn offically finishes (when ya get the season review thing) after a few comments in game it seems Ganea would be interested in joining but again money is an issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnetboyz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Scribe isn't interested now trying to get Turnbull from Middsboro on a free now and sod it i might just go with a 4-5-1 for next season so i can stop worrying about strikers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnetboyz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 will be playing a 4-4-2 this season after all with the signing of 2 new strikers i still need some advice from you oxford regulars if ya don't mind Squad 500k to spend, i know i probably need a couple of wingers and maybe a very good MC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
briz_lad Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 epic2z welcome mate. 1. get yourself a parent club. 2. load all players from serbia romania france argentina brazil and colombia. 3.free signings such as soley and salomonsson are great players. so are estrada and yepes. 4. tactics should be fine but if you need a hand just say plenty of people here who can help barnetboyz i would take a look at estrada if he's on your database for a left winger. he can also play centrally. you definately need a centre midfielder but i can't think of anyone atm.
