General Smuts Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Sounds like a plan, Drew Talbot is on loan to Chesterfield until end of the season, Parkin does bag well, I wouldn't get rid of Pilkington he is immense!!The rest as you said you should be ok with, make sure you get Morgans contract lower, I got lucky and got Chelsea as my Parent Club as well, the tactics are the key, you get no staff hardly and just that basic squad!! Like you said just got to get some good signings in!! I think Luton is the best challenge this year....good team hard at 1st but you could make them awesome if you stick with it!! Darren Kenton is a good free, I missed out on him, didn't offer very good wages... You do need a winger, Henderson had a good season for me, he is good upfront aswell bit of a Dickov type player runs and runs.... See who can get the highest then?? It's on like donkey kong. Is Pilkington the fella from Oldham? EDIT: And what was you're points tally/position etc?
dan77 Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 It's on like donkey kong.Is Pilkington the fella from Oldham? EDIT: And what was you're points tally/position etc? At work atm, but off the top of my head think I was 22nd in the league with 36 points at the end of the season....so without the deduction I would of been on 66 points just off the playoffs....

Good Start you managed to raise some funds aswell!! My Season has been good so far, play 9 (won 7, draw 1, lost 1) Beat Cardiff 3-2 in league cup then lost to Watford in 2nd Round, reached my target though Won 3-0 against Gillingham in 1st round of Johnstones Paint. Danny Webber is smashing the goals in!! So, is Agard up front with him, if one doesnt score the other does!! Top of the League by 3 points already aswell!

Already got Lansbury and David Button from Arsenal and Spurs & Ecclesworth (sp) from Man Utd. Thanks for any help. Another one on the Luton Challenge, take a look at the last few posts, about the best signings we can think between us...., its a bit hit n miss you have no money and players on big wages just get rid of a few of the players on huge contracts...how far in are you??
General Smuts Posted 7 May 2009 Posted 7 May 2009 Desperate to get home and play this some more. I managed to squeeze in 10 minutes while waiting for my lift this morning as well. Tempted to weasel out of dinner with the inlaws tonight and play on this instead.
General Smuts Posted 7 May 2009 Posted 7 May 2009 Excellent the missus has tonsillitis. Means no din dins with the inlaws. Means FM09 all night
Fox You Forest Posted 7 May 2009 Posted 7 May 2009 Think I'll have a crack with Luton also, Loaded all players from Brazil and Argentina so should be able to find a few decent players.
Fox You Forest Posted 7 May 2009 Posted 7 May 2009 My business dealings, Sent all the Loanees packing too. Bowditch and Makela up top will tear it up.

About 4 games won 3 drew 1. 4-4 With Morcambe first game. Sam Parkin hat-trick Will do, thanks
MarkDeVries Posted 7 May 2009 Posted 7 May 2009 My business dealings, Sent all the Loanees packing too. Bowditch and Makela up top will tear it up. I signed him aswell Get David Button on loan from Spurs aswell in goal. Much better than the current one
Lovejoy Posted 7 May 2009 Posted 7 May 2009 Excellent the missus has tonsillitis. Means no din dins with the inlaws. Means FM09 all night :laugh: Thiago Neves is absolute quality.
Lovejoy Posted 7 May 2009 Posted 7 May 2009 According to my asistant, Darren Fletcher's injury will provide a massive confidence boost to my whole team :laugh: .
dan77 Posted 8 May 2009 Posted 8 May 2009 Luton Update: Finished season 2 last night, Top of the league by a number of points, I'm at work now so can't remember!! Btw how do you do screenshots?? Danny Webber was a revelation, what a free signing I might add!! Scored 17 with 16 Assists, basically everyone contributed and we were top from start to finish!! I will do a proper post when I get in tonight...once someone tells me how to do screenshots I will do those later too...
General Smuts Posted 8 May 2009 Posted 8 May 2009 I'm having a mare! Can't buy a win at the minute. I'm certainly going to struggle to stay up. Kinkladze is shit. Can't settle on a tactic. Parkin isn't scoring. Tom Craddock whose supposedly amazing in this league is shit. Nightmare! I will change this tonight. O'Grady will start getting himself some games i think.

Wanna take a look at the formation I'm using later?? If I know how to post it on you can have a look see if you can adjust it to suit your players?? I have an attacking variation and Normal, keep it simple is the key, the players aren't good enough for complicated tactics!!
CosbehFox Posted 8 May 2009 Posted 8 May 2009 Cannae wait for a good session on this tonight. A last attempt at making a success of Leicester with my poor managerial skills. We are currently 7th and six from top with a game in hand.
potter3 Posted 8 May 2009 Posted 8 May 2009 Secured promotion with a 92nd minute equaliser in the last game of the season, leaving me with a 3+ better GD than 4th place Close one.
CosbehFox Posted 8 May 2009 Posted 8 May 2009 Adam Larsen, my summer goalkeeping signing has now gone 705 minutes without conceding! Crazy!
