Finished my first season with Leicester. Managed to scrape 6th place on the last day of the season after a 14 game unbeaten run!

Lost in the play off semi finals to Wolves though - but im optimistic for next season, were going to win the league!

You not been at work then? :blink:

Not today, was at college but i finished at 1, so ive been to the pub and been playing on this. I had the demo first though, thats why i have got through it fairly quickly.

Lost 3-2 opening day of the season to Watford.

Will concentrate more when I'm awake tomorrow, to tired to play now.

Not long in and am trying to get an hour or twos worth in. Update on the Premier league, its fookin tough!

Ive found it easier to get Continental standard physios and coaches but cant get in a good AM. Burrows is crap. He has said that any player I have bid for to be quality and his HT team talks are so shite it makes us play worse in the second half! Ive used him twice and he is clueless!

What I do like about the game so far is the better players are actually good. I paid £10m for Castillo and he has scored 5 in 7. The likes of MF who did well last season isn't prem standard and is about to get dropped after failing to score in the first 8 games! Fulops been dropped as he hasn't settled into the prem so sentiment has gone out of the window lol

Time to play some games....

I decided to start a fresh, took the swansea job, went really in depth with my training, created a different training schedule, it has really paid off. 15 games in sitting 2nd... i have jason scotland, nicky maynard and steve marlet ( bargain) up front....

I have added a few faces, got kevin phillips in and this excellent young spanish striker called fernandez... quality 17 year old....

If you want a excellent strong DM go for Negomashe from zimbabwe, he wins things all day....

Come on the swans... in the championship in my first season i hope.....

p.s- there is one thing that bugs me on the game, anyone else notice that there is always controvesy after every game...!!

Think it might be a bug.

I can't help but comment on it and Milan is getting upset now.

I'm Leicester and Posh.

did you download the cracked version?

I already had a version on the download when you gave me that link, mate.. but yeah I have a cracked version. Software + separate crack + daemon tools 4.09, works a charm.

Link available for anyone who'd like it.

Despite going unbeaten to Christmas in the demo, I haven't won yet with Leicester in the league or cup after 4 games. I've lost 3 of them, losing 5-1 to Watford, 2-1 to Southampton and getting knocked out of the cup by Stockport on penalties.

It's going brilliantly with Peterborough. Billy McKay and Matt Jansen up front and some chap called Svensson (available on a free) bossing the midfield with some chap that Villa sent me on loan.

Even Josh Low is playing well.

Can see Milan pulling the trigger soon - he's not happy, especially as I asked him for some money after he sold 3 of my players for below my valuation and I've been commenting on all the controversy!

We're on a fine run now, scored 27 goals in our last 9 games :D

Currently 5th in the league, into the 5th round of FA Cup but out of the Carling Cup (To Boro)

Signed Dean Leacock for £1.3 million, Mark Gower for 275k (Bargain :w00t:) and Ricardo Fuller for 160k (3 goals in 3 games so far :thumbup:) Those three signings were in January. Also managed to get rid of Rab (To Forest :D) for cash + a half decent player, Luke Chambers.

What formation do you all play?

I chop and change between a 3-5-2 with wingbacks and a 4-4-2 (attacking though).

Has anyone managed to get DJ campbell scoring? He regularly has 7 or 8 shots but has only scored twice for me (four games in to the real season - both penalties).

Scored 10 in first 6 games for me, then only scored 4 more all season. His failure to convert chances against watford in a playoff semi, cost me the tie.

I play 3 centre backs, two wing backs with forward arrows, a defensive midfielder, two attacking midfielders and two strikers. So yeah 3-5-2 basically.

And DJ's poor on mine too, misses incredible amounts of chances. Thinking of getting rid actually :unsure:

By defensive mids and attacking mids, what do you mean?

I play mine all in a straight line in the middle of the park, but with their tactics slightly different.

Currently 2nd in the league. Signed callum davidson for left back cover. (Don't sign him he's shit)

Got Danny Haynes and Ephraim bagging the goals up front. Got knocked out of league cup by Grimsby, first round but im focussing on promotion!

Defensive Mid= Position directly in midle in front of centre backs

Attacking Mid= Two positions in the middle directly behind the strikers

4-3-1-2.

Its working well in the Premiership as we are 12th after 16 games. The prem is difficult but our home record is doing us proud. Its hit or miss with 7 wins and 7 losses so far but thank fook for...

Neeeeeeeeeeeeery Castillo

Neeeeeeeeeeeeery Castillo

£10m spent on him, 9 in 11 and is proud of the clubs position (12th out of 20 lol)

I wont be playing the game much from herein as I wont have the chance to play it abroad so I`ll have to catch up when I return. No doubt by then you`ll have compiled a list of quality players for me lol

Exactly the same problem mate. Tell me if you manage to sort it out please!

Is there anyway to make your players go out on loan - some of mine like Sheehan, Magunda ( ! ) and Pentney seem to think they're above a spell in league 2!

Thracian has been bigging them up. :rolleyes:

Billy McKay has gone to the other club I'm managing (Peterborough) and is doing quite well.

Don't understand why Magunda in particular won't go. I could really do with some versatile defensive cover and he about fits the bill.
