Andrew 4183 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm getting a lot of approaches for santon in my game a few seasons in, he's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8947 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 How's Adam Campbell's pace reduced to 20?! Was he simply teleporting beforehand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8947 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Beat Man City at home to put us in pole position, Then had to beat QPR. After that, it was Stoke and obviously, every player couldn't give a shit so we drew 0-0. That formation of Tooj's is cracking for the bigger teams, but when another side sets up to stifle you, I find it necessary to switch to a more attacking line-up.

Tooj 17 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Threw away the league title in my last season and finished second after a real dip in form in the last 8 games or so. Had quite an overhaul of my squad this year though so have started the season out quite inconsistently. I will put up a review of my transfers etc at some point. Going for the Ferguson approach of rebuilding a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I've gone for a pretty big change to everything but the defence in transition this season, picked up a bunch of really good young players and blooding them to replace falcao and Llorente who're the wrong side of 30 and start using more width. Oddly seems to have had the effect of really shoring up my defence, conceded 3 goals on 27 games so far. Playing 4321 asymmetric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Anybody else up for doing an NUFC challenge where you can't buy players? All you can do is play those that come through the youth ranks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8947 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Anybody else up for doing an NUFC challenge where you can't buy players? All you can do is play those that come through the youth ranks? Yeah, I'd be keen. I know Remi Streete and Estoban Lopez become decent, I'm sure you'd get 1 or two a season.

Howay 12447 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Started a game with watford what a tragic team £130k budget and hardly any first team players. Just loads of players on loan from Udinese because of the agreement between the clubs. Also the first 7 fixtures are all the top teams in the championship. Still haven't given the toon a go yet from what you're all saying they sound canny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12736 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Started with Gateshead who have a truckload of shite and no money. Finished 13th in the 1st season, let 3/4 of the squad go, replaced them with younger, more technical players, changed to a 541 and am now 13 matches unbeaten. And the fans were kicking off because I let Donaldson go. Thick, the lot of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj 17 Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 St Etienne are going to be my next challenge I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12447 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 They're very good one the game. That Aubameyang is mental, he scored nigh on 2 goals a game on my PSG save (at St Etienne) they were constantly the 2nd team in France on that save, Zouma has tonnes of potential in all. Could be a canny one. My Watford save is going bad, did canny 1st year and brought in what I thought would be improvements but I just can't create many goal scoring chances.

colinh9 0 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Finally started playing 13... finished first season in 10th. Pretty disappointing. Large overhaul of my squad. Cisse was absolutely miserable last year (1 goal in like 27 apperances) so I decided to off-load him and Cabaye to rebuild the rest of my squad. I think Anita is ready to move into Cabaye's role and I only play with one striker- so Demba it is. Lots of changes. The UI is so enjoyable in this one. Really enjoying playing it- feels like a lot of massive upgrades on even the simple stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse isn't scoring for me either, would accept offers if they came in, but I'm not going to sell him until Campbell is ready to take over.

Andrew 4183 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Cisse was ace for me for a few years, him as a poacher, Ba and Hba as inside forwards on the left and right wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse isn't scoring for me either, would accept offers if they came in, but I'm not going to sell him until Campbell is ready to take over. 30 million pound offer. Too good to refuse honestly. Allowed me to bring in 3 very promising players. I play a 4-2-3-1 so I really only need three strikers for cover. I had the same tactics as Andrew for a bit, using them as inside forwards but Cisse never got it done. Ba did. I'll get to play a bit more tonight/tomorrow.
