The Specky Forum Organiser 69,617 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Went into the 2nd last day of the season in 6th a point above Villa and Hull, I got fucked 5-1 but they both lost so going into the last day knowing a win at home V Boro will secure a play off spot Still 5 teams can do it so no way will a draw be enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 69,617 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Bottled it, was 2 up at half time but drew 2 all and came 7th. Gutted Skyson1872 and MrMeeseeks 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 69,617 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Was predicted to come 16th and my reward for coming 7th and winning both derbies with ease is a transfer budget of £91k Was tempted to patch it cos that's an insult but really enjoying it so going to stick with it, lost about 7 players who have went back to loan clubs so squad is beyond thin, going to need to rely on loans, frees and the academy, can't even sell anyone to raise funds, £3m is my most expensive player and I only get 35% of sales Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 69,617 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Managed to get the board to up the % of money I receive from transfers to 75% so after a bit of wheeling and dealing I brought in Marco Matias, Mark Beevers and Donald Love permanently. All 3 are back up but decent at this level and was for under £1m. Managed to get Carter Vickers and Baldock for another year on loan and both were excellent last season so happy about that and also got loans for Ngoy, Mousset and Marcus Edwards from Spurs who looks a real player. Lost Hyndman who was my player of the year so that's a massive blow, they wouldn't let me have him for another season. Stoke just bid £3m for my keeper, tried them at £7.5 and they went for it, will be sad to see him go as he's excellent but he's 31 and that's absolutely enormous money in terms of what I've been working with Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're able to, and have the funds, I'd highly recommend bringing in Predrag Rajkovic as your first team keeper. I think he's usually still available on the cheap second season in. 22 at the start and easily first team quality already. If you don't keep him for years you'd definitely make a ton off him.

Cheers, got a deal agreed for a keeper from Bari called Micai(I think)who looks good but will check him out when I get home. A keeper and George Saville and I think that will be my business done.

Dozzell and Downes are my first choice CM pairing this season, Nydam is highly rated by the coaching staff but isn't ready yet, thinking about loaning him out. Not made a great start tbh, drew 3 and lost 1 in the league so far, into the 3rd round of the League Cup though and going to give the cups a real go this year, chucked them last season cos I was fighting for promotion but that isn't going to happen this year, squad is too young and there was too much of a turnover of players it's going to take a while to get the right system and for them to gel DonMuffin 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 69,617 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 6 games at the start of the season without a win including 2 losses against newly promoted teams, played Stoke who have the best squad in the league there expecting to get humped and smashed them 4-0 Strange game at times Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a fair few one on ones ending with a shot straight to the corner flag, it's ridiculous. 30+ shots with maybe around a third on target. Could easily play a CB upfront and achieve the same results. The Specky Forum Organiser 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 69,617 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Cant get into Napoli at all, either going to start a new game with us and stick with it for longer or go a diddy team like Arsenal and try and make them a force Edit- Having a wee read at a thread on Arsenal on another forum and someone who was using them has this as his transfer business Trent Alexander-Arnold 77mil - Liverpool* Tom Davies 70mil - Everton* Reece Oxford 55mil - West Ham* Ben Woodburn 120mil - Liverpool Eric Dier 80mil - Tottenham Alban Lafont 30mil - Toulouse Kieran Tierney 28mil - celtic Mamadou Coulibaly 20mil - Udinese (failed work permit so loaned to Sturm graz) Willem Geubbels 9mil - Lyon Some more youth players.

CottonRunt 1,026 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 What tactics are you guys using? Trying to do something with a 4-2-3-1 but keep either getting picked off on the break or dominated by teams with stronger midfield players. Got a few cracking IF's so would quite like to stick with them. Tried using a DM instead of an AP but then i struggle to break teams down!

Got lucky with some signings when they were transfer-listed with liberal use of 50% sell-on clauses. Now signing every talented youngster I can find to crack Europe. I like this game.

The Specky Forum Organiser 69,617 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Decided to go a diddy team and do something with them so chose Arsenal Sold Elneny, Xhaka and Mustafi and replaced them with Chiellini, Dendoncker, Romeu and Doucore, everyone knows what Arsenal are good at and where they struggle so hopefully the physicality of those 4 will be a help to me. Planning on using Dendoncker as a CB which could go either way though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CottonRunt 1,026 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Managed to make a bit of cash selling 2 players. Alex Munoz - Bought for £475k and was a back up CB, sold for £13.5M Percy Tau - Bought for £800k and was my first choice right inside forward, sold for £11.5m Need to try and reinvest better, still 8 points off celtic.
