Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Probably having the most fun in fm ever with my Woking game. Had a good pre season, didnt need to strengthen my squad as much as i thought, basically bought a new defence. Midfield and Attack is good especially with Subotic and Saric upfront. Been playing a 41212 which has worked out well. Hoping for a mid table finish, i think another Promotion would be unlikely as there are alot of srrong teams that will outspend me. This is my first sesson with money but have only spent 60k and again raiding loans and freebies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Fair to say my media prediction of 24th was slightly out. 15 games played, 10 wins, 2 draws, 3 defeats, sitting top by a point. Got a decent gap of 6 points to 4th so automatic promotion is looking a possiblility. Still a long way to go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Secured automatic promotion pretty easily in the end, 2 games left and I'm 17 points clear of the play-offs.Will need to sort out the defence, conceded 54 goals in the league so far. Can score for fun though, just hammered Cheltenham 8-2 away from home Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnymate1690 666 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 things going well with blackpool , goal was to avoid relegation but i thought i would get closer to mid-table with that team , hope i can keep things going and get Europe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Any league 2 signing recommendations? I let too many players go... I signed Tom Walsh and Gasparotto from us for £70k each. Gasparotto goes onto be amazing and Walsh ended up with 28 goals in the league.Signed Danny Redmond from Wigan for £6k. 4 goals and 14 assists from left-mid.They were probably my 3 best signings anyway.

skinnymate1690 666 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 1st jan and the board asked me to pick my season expectations seeing as we are doing better than expected , i still picked avoid relegation as there was only £1 million difference in budget between that and top half finish. so got an extra 7.5 million . put it down to 5.5 to allow for wages2 days later get another 4.5 mill due to increase finances , I'm enjoying my time with blackpool !still selling le fondre and looking for a better striker though , suggestions still welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Relegation looking likely this year 2 points from 5 games. Last 2 games I've gave the other team a 3 goal lead before trying to come back. My defenders are actually not too bad an my focus in training and match preparation is on defending.I'm fucked.

skinnymate1690 666 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Signed de Jong from gladbach (sp) for a striker , hopefully he is a decent target man . Cost 16 million . Can't believe I paid upfront for all my players up until 2 FM's ago didn't realise the over 12-48 month thing meant less money came of straight away until 2011 !

skinnymate1690 666 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Season 2 in the PL started with Blackpool . 1st game 1-0 win over hull and then a 2-2 draw away to Norwich . Not the best start but hopefully It will pick up .

Mor3los_1 3,672 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Been offered the Burnley job in the Championship but gonna say now. Things are very up and down. Started to find a little patch of form before League 2 Aldershot dominated me in the Johnstone Trophy 1-0. 2nd round aswell, i won it last year, they dominated me start to finish, just couldn't get going.
