How is everyone doing at the minute then?

Post date, league, team, position etc, and any notable good players you have.

Team - Ipswich
League - Championship
Date - 23rd February 2008
Position - 3rd - 63pts (6 Away from 1st)
Players doing well at the minute - Rok Kronaveter (27 Apps 17 Goals 7 Assists) , Shefki Kuqi (12 Apps 9 Goals 2 Assists), Peter Kopteff (29 Apps 8 Goals 12 Assists).

Gonna add another name to the list, i signed Sergio Mota for £2.5m and then asked for a recommendation and he said a young lad called Flavio, signed him on a free, and he scored a hat trick against Palace on his debut!

little tip i've picked up from the new patch:

set your best defender (for heading) to challenge GK on corners. It seems to get them loads of goals for some reason :eek:

Haven't really been playing. :) Busy with Uni. :(

Edited Man Utd to have £1.5bn though. :D The club ended up putting £600m or so into some dividends thing. :D Got a screenshot so I will upload that when I get back to Uni on Tuesday. :)

Much better than having the best defender for heading to near post flick on?

This is what i do, will try to challenge keeper though..i seem to only score from freekicks not corners.

Will try a few different things, as i have about 5-6 players with heading from 17-20.

I score from corners mainly. It could be worth having Vidic set to near post flick on and Rio to challenge GK. :)

Btw enjoying your weekend? :) 3-0! :p
 
Team - Hyde United
League - Premiership
Date - 6th March 2020
Position - 4th - 53pts (8 Away from 1st, 28 games gone)
Players doing well at the minute - Alberto Jorge Gomez (30 Apps 31 Goals 9 Assists) , Nacer Barazite (30 Apps 13 Goals 15 Assists), Theo Walcott (28 Apps 6 Goals 13 Assists).

Going well so far really! Just reached the semi finals of the FA Cup too with a 5-0 win against Aston Villa. Ace! Got an awesome left back coming in at the end of the season. Would be nice to push for a Champions League spot but I'll be happy with a UEFA spot in all honesty since I was predicted a 17th place finish!
 
Oh and I forgot to add. Moved into my new stadium last season. Managed to fill it every week so board decided to expand it by 9000 seats. Unfortunately this meant I had to ground share..... with Manchester United! Pulling in attendences around 70,000 at the moment. Will be a shame to go back to my own stadium in the end!!

Was offered Cristiano Ronaldo for £47k too. Didn't make an offer since he's not the best anymore!!
 
Woah 2020!

Very well played there, sir.

I take it, theres many regens now etc?

Can you check how good Flávio and Sergio Mota and Bojan is for me, please?
 
Regens all over the place! One of them, Paul Dean, has been with me since Blue Square Premier! He's still a starter in the Premiership now and one of my players of the season!

Couldn't find Flavio but....

Bojan

Team - Paris St Germain
League - Ligue 1
Date - March 2008
Position - 1st - 12 Points Clear of Lyon
Players doing well at the minute - Mahmado Sarko (22 app 14 goals) Wendell (36 app 42 goals) David N'Gog (12 app 12 goals) Hugo Lloris (26 app 22 clean sheets)

All is going well for me at the moment, I am only in the first season, but am trying to build a very young side to keep PSG on top for a long time. The best bit about the French League is that they dont have a foreigners rule, so have oodles of the young Brazillians running around the park.

Wasn't sure if this was where to ask this, but is there anywhere I can buy and download this? Mac version by the way.

Cheers
