skogmantore Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Nice going Geesus. We share the same taste in players. I got Sorin for my last save for peanuts. Never got him before, but he represents very good value for money. He wasn't interested at first but I tried a few times and eventually got him to sign. Arce is hot yes, but in all my saves he picks up too many injuries. But if you're lucky, he'll stay healthy, and may score some 30-40 goals. My current squad, 10 games into first season: gk: Jourdren/Scribe dr: Arthur Sorin/Lukas Kuban dc: Jan Polak dc: Yordan Miliev/Andrei Cordos dl: Marcus Williams/Park (forgot first name, Aussie) mc/dmc: Eggert Jonsson (paid only 200k - top class!) dmc: Benjamin Laurant/Jonathan Bru amc: Piatti amc: Mihelic amc: Buonanotte/Dimitriu Copil fc: Adam Varadi/Kamiar Saag Small but powerful team I think. Way better than any team in League One. After first window closed I still had 150k transfer money left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeesusChrist Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I was playing earlier and I for the life of me do not understand this tactic I went 1-0 up against bristel rovers then went down to 10 men after 5 minutes after barengrub got sent off for being the last man - so i took howson off so the AMC with the arrow going back wasnt there. I went 3-0 up after 60 minutes despite having 10 men but then lambert scores with a shot that was straight kotenko - then he scores another, and another to make it 3-3 dont understand how I was beating them then drew after dominating with 10 men same happened with port vale except I was 2-0 up instead of 3-0 and rodgers scored 2 in the last 10 mins. probably just me but kotenko doesn't seem to be as good as his stats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tactics you are referring to is KIMZ, then I completely know what you mean. I often start performing really well when someone on my team is sent off (!?). Also, there are some big comebacks happening, both for my side and the opponent. I often take a 3-0 lead only to draw 3-3. My current side is the best I've had yet.

Buckoh Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 End of the 2014 season, and managing England in the WC. Beat Tunisia, Serbia and Uruguay in the group, Israel (Israel?) in the second round, South Korea in the QF, Argentina in the semi and Spain in the final. Which meant England retained the World Cup. I hadn't realised we were champions last time around! Have resigned now, to concentrate on re-building my Leeds squad. I got thrashed by Barca in the CL, and figured it was time for a change of personnel. On that footing, I was given a transfer budget of £26m. To raise cash I sold 5 players (including Luci, my DM, to Arsenal for £17.5m) and brought in over £30m of transfer fees. But I've still only got a budget of £26M. Does anyone know why my sales haven't increased the transfer budget? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeesusChrist Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 no worries what that tactic then 4-4-2? a few of us here are using kimz tactic which is a 4-2-3-1 very effective attacking wise but you do let a few in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 My tactic is more like a 4-4-1-1 - 2 DC's, 2 WB's, MR, 3 MC's, AML and a ST. Couldn't be bothered with a screen shot or the nonsense of making it out into a tactic form on here either. At the moment im trying to get a load of EPL reserves/youngsters in on loan.

GeesusChrist Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 well a quality RB is arthur sorin can get him for about 150k sheehan is good but marcus williams is better from scunthorpe for LB these 2 positions need to be replaced the most - Right mid is a problem but prutton does a good enough job there for me - carole sucks ass on this patch no worries on the screenshot - i dont do them either mainly because I can't work it out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I find that Sorsa is a good enough right winger imo. I'll give you the scoop on my transfers so far In Havard Nordtveit - Arsenal - loan Ched Evans - Man City - loan Stephen Darby - Liverpool - loan Cole Skuse - Bristol City - loan I haven't managed to flog any players yet but hoping to before the window closes. Yeah left and right wing back positions are my major problem that i'm looking to address. Also think I could do with a better keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeesusChrist Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 also bud how does your tactic fair? it seems to fit the leeds team well with all the midfielders they have to begin with? i'm guessing its the tactic you used for aberdeen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 yeah thats the tactic I use in most of my games. Seems to work well as I always seem to score a decent amount of goals and don't concede much - which is a good formula I managed to get Liverpool as a feeder club aswell so I'm hoping they punt some youngsters my way before the transfer window closes but I don't think i'll be able to take them on because of my 4 season long loan's I broght in but no worries coz I'm happy with the 4 I brought in.

GeesusChrist Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 oh i forgot kaebi is a right wing back and he is on a free at the beginning I forgot about sorsa lol jourdren is a great young keeper french kotenko is good also - estonian philip ifil is good on loan from tottenham - he is a wing back right as well - not tried to get him on this patch so I don't know nordveit is supposed to be good but not had him theres a guy at psv you can get on loan but ive forgot his name - hes only 18 or so striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I start the game in March 2007, so some are cheaper and don't have as many clubs after them. Polak usually comes in March for 300k. Stancu never cost me more than 1M. Piatti comes in March for 250-300k almost every time. Mihelic comes for just over 100k. Buonanotte: 300-400k. Olsson - wow that was cheap. I never paid less than 500k for him. Other clubs are often fighting for him, and I typically lose. Daminuta - waaay less, more like 30-40k. Hora varies tremendously. From 90k if I'm really lucky to 500k. I never pay 500k though, there are other out there. Mardare - 250k sounds just right. Also, I have learned much about how to get rid of the original squad. You'd be surprised how much you can get for some players. Howson sometimes brings in around 600-700k. Michalik and Huntington can go for huge money, as can Beckford, Sorsa, Kilkenny if you get lucky.

dexta200 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 hey guys my mate started a leeds game and recommended it to me so i thought i would give it a go! here are my transfers: i see your all having a question as too how he spent 6m but tbh i dont think it would be hard, sell alot of players and once i had 3m in the bank i asked the board for more money! which i got and spent on Gioda here is my current team and tactic. and so far my results have been pretty good! Leeds 2-1 Millwall (Michalik, Kenton) Macclesfield 0-3 Leeds (Kenton, Nordtveit, Stancu) League Cup 1st Round. Leeds 4-2 Tranmere (Michalik 2, Mihelic, Stancu) Crewe 0-2 Leeds (Piatti, Murphy) Sheff Utd 1-5 Leeds (Michalik, Murphy 2, Hora, Stancu) League Cup 2nd Round. its a bit annoying knowing you have won all your games but still be in relegation but i hope that will change soon lol! bring on the rest of the season! its looking fun so far!

macsoz Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 luffe- a couple playes worth a look are not 100% sure on if they will all come an what they will be like on 8.0.2 marcus williams-90k, adam lallana-100k, danny haynes-loan(can buy if u move up), kevin phillips-might be availble ive saw other ppl buy him, joe mattock, matt hill, preston edwards, jack hobbs(liverpool) loan him then buy him he is quality i sold him in my 4th season for 8mil(bad choice on my part but i felt he wasnt fast enough but hg players r at a premium 4 me but i did get him on a free and he was unhappy). the 3 left backs in tht list should last you to atlest ur first season in the prem as u go up the leagues i would consider justin hoyte, jermaine defoe, kevin doyle, giles barnes, bring woodgate back i think buckoh did tht, etc. it quite a good challenge ur setting ur self but a full 11 of uk an irish players wont be world beating plus u can get foreign players for alot less. huntington, howson, prutton prob ur best players in the orginal squad now going to go back to my 7th season i think time to win the prem heres hoping anyway. i keep startin new games but i keep wanting to go back to my leeds game buy far the best save ive ever had on any fm or champ well apart from some of my cm2 saves where u cud cheat when buyin players.

skogmantore Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Still on the same save I mentioned above. After closing of the January transfer window (season 2 after promotion to Championship), this is my very small squad. I had to make it small to afford top quality. I tried tons of non-EU players but got only two wp:s (Nazarith, Yao). gk: Hennessey/Jourdren dr: Omozusi/Genesio dc: Bärengrub dc: Koné/Mravac dl: Olsson/Yao dmc: Roberto dmc: Jonsson/Anita amc: Jimenez amc: Piatti amc: Buonanotte/Samuel fc: Stancu/Nazarith New key players after season 1 include Hennessey, Roberto and obviously Jimenez. I didn't mean to sell Mihelic but the board accepted a 7M offer, so it wasn't all bad. The team lost on penalties vs Arsenal in one of the cup games after drawing 4-4 after full time.

So now the board tell me i should push for the top spot this season with a a budget of drum roll please 20m and 600k wages 20 smeging mill to push for the title and quarterfinals of the champ league, yet you would think being a club in the champ league now and near the top of the tree you have players knocking your door down yeah right yet again lost players to spurs and Liverpool who were so crap last season they were like mid table finish, mmm that lazio job offer looks tempting P.S.

macsoz Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 bihdhdhdb-i remeber going through the same situation as u not being able to really break into the top four even though i finished 6th/3rd/6th/3rd in my four epl seasons i think the first shot at the champs league came to early for me but i did allow me to be able to build a team to win the eufa cup the following season and finish 3rd. i also remeber the board wantin more from me than the money they wud give me however i did get around 30mil a year everyyear an managed to spend around 50mil selling players an paying for a few players over 24months seems to take less outa ur transfer budget. if i was u id look at a striker a left bk cos ive never heard of ur guy and sum better amcs and a dmc but thts cos ive only heard of mihelic vidal(who was awful for me) ferrari(rb) and maduro. id try veloso he's amazin will cost alot tho but worth it, posibly gignac, anderson i got him for 6mil steal. although this season is looking like the season for me played 7 won 7 in all comps only domestic goal ive lost was to reading away and ive allready beat liverpool and man utd in the league(hammered them 3-0 at old traford) and beat arsenal 1-0 in the esp even if it was the corner expliot but its the first time ive ever beat them. got a really tough ecl group tho valancia me leeds celtic dortmund. going for the league and a good run in the ecl at least 1/4finals need to get my rep up still cnt actract anybig BIG names, even though i have ochoa zapata veloso diego and anderson(man utd 1), diego has been the only 'shirt seller' ive bought. current starting 11 ochoa bevers(pa194) naldo/samba, zapata abenzor piatti anderson/diego, veloso barnes(the missing link) briand stancu i have 50mil to spend any ideas on postions to improve and who to get although i am pretty happy with my team id love a big name target man zlatans to old as are most and adebeoyor aint interested as are most big name target men i'm on 8.0.1 with 8.0.2 so briand and stancu are demi-gods if only stancu was taller hed be perfect and hes been with me since day 1.
