Finished another season, cba to do a review, it's basically the same, more goals from Dzeko, same assists from Ronaldo, and less goals conceded

New season I was aiming to get in a few more spaniards, which I have done (sort of). Managed to sign Bojan from Barcelona :eek:

. Made a few big signings, and then shipped off quite a few too.

My midfield now consists of Kaka, Fabregas, Alonso and Ronaldo :eek:

.

Players in;

Out;

This also includes Garay for £10.5m to AC Milan, but too many released so he didn't fit in;

Thanks Fulham

Squad now looks like;

syke, whats Bojan like? on fifa he is quality

Just started a game with Valencia.

They have a amazing first team attack, but from then on everything else is distinctivly average and thers no real squad depth.

On top of that theres no real transfer budget so it should be interesting.

Results so far-

3-1 win away at Osusuna, 3-1 loss against Athletic and 2-1 win at home to Sevilla.

First team-

_________Villa
Mata_____Silva_____Hernandez
______Banega_Camacho
Matheiu_Marchena_Alexis_Bruno
_________Moya

Camacho was a bargain, straight swap with a fringe player I had.

The team needs a quality CB, RB and GK, not to mention backup for the attacking positions.

I got a great regen in my academy, I'm looking forward to developing him

Err, haven't really played him. He was awesome in FM08 and earlier, he has to try get Benzema/Dzeko out of their spots at the moment, with Higuain there too...so won't get that many games straight away, could play him AMR occasionally though.

He should have been a lot more, not sure how I had £14.75m accepted, he was worth about that when I bid.

Who here scores from corners quite often? I have big players, yet don't seem to score too many, well not noticeably anyway! Able to post the screenies of your your instructions for corners?

toon_mad · 13 Dec 2009 at 15:54

Andy Caroll is my target man, from corners he has bagged a few

Ryan Taylor is wicked at free kicks for me.

I always get updates via msn from Syke

love it!

Such a nice team you have Syke must be said

Bojan, if used right can be a pretty good striker and will score.

Will update you with some of my other games later when I can be bothered.

Argh!!

Things were not going well with Deportivo. Was on a 5 game streak without winning, finally won 2 in a row...then the game crashed. Luckily I'd saved it the game before my wins started but I can't win them again. Must have tried reloading 5-6 times but even using the same tactics as before I can't win.

Very annoyed right now :mad:

Going to bed, hopefully have more luck tomorrow :rolleyes:

Still doing my Udinese game, after somehow winning Serie A in my first season, the second season is proving more tricky. It's going more slowly because I'm managing the full team and my U20's at the same time.

toon_mad · 18 Dec 2009 at 01:09

This is the hardest manager game ive ever played, im sure some of the matches are fixed!

syke · 18 Dec 2009 at 15:38

Finished another season, ignore the ones who haven't played, they just returned from loans.

Made a few sales that I didn't originally want to, bloody Spanish release fees (forgot).

Sold £79m worth of players this year;

Didn't originally want to sell Guardado/Jura, but prices were OK (couldn't control Guardado, £22m release fee, oops).

Managed to make my team very spanish though, 15/25 are Spanish now, not been cheap though!

£22m for the left back was most of it over 48 months, and he's as good as Lahm, so my scouts say, expensive, but nevermind!

I actually paid £15m+Granero for Fabregas, and managed to buy him back for £6.75m, bargain

Check this goal machine out!!!

syke · 18 Dec 2009 at 17:03

Dzeko

Benzema

Meh

Shamikebab · 18 Dec 2009 at 17:07

oh god what is that, graphical attributes? You pollute my eyes. My best is still Trezeguet 83 goals in a season back in the olden days (first FM maybe?) playing in the xmas tree with Ronaldinho and Anthony Le Tallec (god he used to be awesome! Then liverpool got hold of him) behind him

Tummy · 18 Dec 2009 at 18:23

I will update my other games soon

Promise Syke

toon_mad · 18 Dec 2009 at 18:40

Im not been funny, yes your strikers might be better then mine, but be fair, considering the players i have such as nolan, alan smith, nicky butt, they are not exactly the best passers in the game, for my striker gignac to score 24 in 22 (7 in last 5 games), assist 7 is amazing i think

maybe if i start again i might be barca or madrid and have wads of cash to splash.
