Started a new game because I got bored.

Signed Graveson, Appiah, Christanval, Yildirim on frees.

Got Hugo, Tordoya, Mascio and Rapnik as suggested on here.

FINALLY managed to get f*cking Carlton Cole on loan.

Also signed Chris Killen from Celtic (needed someone who was tall up front), Ian Walker in goal and Steve Foster at right-back.

You can't go wrong with Hugo, Tordoya and Mascio.

 

Looks like you will have a pretty decent squad, did you have to sell many to get all those?

 

Sold Skacel and Surman for £2million each, Davis, Euell, John, Thomas and released Perry.

My trouble is - I haven't got a clue about tactics. I've got a great squad but we'll probably end up 24th due to me not having a clue :(

I'm playing 4-1-3-2, attacking, little creative freedom, direct passing, quick tempo, always closing down and deep defensive line at the moment.

We just lost to Swindon in the league cup. :lol:

Graveson scored 11 goals and got 12 assists from CM for me, Chelsea came in with a £2.5 million bid in january, f*cking well happy. Took the money and he got injured within the week.

Stephen Appiah is a decent enough replacement, f'sure.

 

 

How the hell did you get Thomas Gravesen? He never signs for me! :(

In the Prem now, Hugo is my best defender and Mascio is out on loan (he won't get in the team ahead of Appiah or Binya so I wanted him to get some experience).

Tordoya had trouble settling but is quality now.

Team after promotion through the play-offs:

 

---------McGregor

James Hugo Helguera Sepsi

Yildirim Binya Lallana Convey

------Cole Roberts

 

McGregor from Rangers, Helguera from Madrid I think, Sepsi god knows.

Convey on a free, Jason Roberts for about £1million. West Ham went down so got Cole cheap.

Also signed Billy Jones from Preston as cover for defence and CM.

Dreading the start of the Prem season, but Wotte seems to think we will be OK.....

Doesn't make him a bad player. Just means you aren't getting the best out of him :p

 

Well what the hell are you supposed to do with him then? I've tried him on LM, RM, CM, DM and AM and he has been sh*t everywhere.

Perhaps he just doesn't suit my style of play. :cool:

just got promoted with us in 1st season, is possible if you sell every single one of the players we have at the start of the game bar Lallana and Spiderman

 

Its possible if you don't do that as well. James and Mills were two of my best players in my first season when I got promoted, and McGoldrick chipped in with around 14 goals as well.

The team you start with isnt actually that bad.
