bihdhdhdhbd Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 So here it is Leeds United 2nd time around just before first match of the season rebuilt the whole squad including back ups apart from one player Micalik. Missing one major player see if you can spot who it is lazio came in and well leeds weather i guess cant compete with Italy Worked on the coaches too, not too bad should be all 7 stars by the end of the season i hope. No cheating was involved the only thing i changed was the defoe bug thats the only thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skogmantore Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 (8.0.2) A few games into season three in Premier League in what will be my last FM08 game. I'm in 5th place after some 10 games. I thought I had lost Jimenez when the board accepted a bid for him, but he rejected Ajax. He has the "Unh" mark but is still valueble to the team, and I hope to change his mind over the course of the season. The Squad: gk: Hennessey/Jourdren dr: Ansaldi/Omozusi dc: Santacroce/Bärengrub dc: Dervite/Filipenko dl: Yao/Olsson dmc: Roberto dmc: Carioca/Anita amc: Jimenez amc: Piatti/Yakovenko amc: Buonanotte/Marin fc: Stancu/Nazarith/Monnet-Paquet The ones who have been with me since the start are: Geoffrey Jourdren (backup) Alo Bärengrub (first team) Martin Olsson (rotation) Pablo Piatti (key player) Diego Buonanotte (key player) Bogdan Stancu (key player) I managed to beat Liverpool away, which is my only upset so far, but I'm seriously hoping to get a top 3 spot when the season is over. I couldn't wish for a better team. If I would make any changes I would try to find a 4th defensive mid, a super keeper (Lloris or Ustari if possible) and an experienced centre back to captain the squad (suggestions are welcome). I'll see what can be done in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw tried looking for Alo barengrub on my new game could not find him yeah i got the Scandinavian players loaded up what club is he from? I think Bärengrub is Estonian, and I noticed he could be signed even cheaper when I loaded all Estonian players. I think I paid around 50-60k for him. I must strongly recommend him, as he keeps getting better over the seasons and is now doing fairly well in the top of Premier League. I don't have much cash at the moment, but I fear I might lose Jimenez soon, and then I will look for: DC, DM, GK and full backs (R/L) Suggestions are appreciated. Note that I am in late 2009.

bihdhdhdhbd Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well GK like i said before I'm terrible when it comes to these guys changed my main guy every season but the last one i had in season was Tim wiese was classed as being good had to pay 7.5m in season 5 for him but check him out. Now DL and DR i had this guy pablo herrera picked up for like 1.1m i think develops real plays both spots so even if you dint like him he is an excellent cover. DC Now the one player i had was Arturo Vidal was expensive 10m when i got him and he is a dirty player to start with one match he gave away two penalties and got send off fined him 2weeks wages then a month later got two yellow cards and was sent off fined one week wages and ever since then he been clean odd yellow card but no more reds and no more penalties may even i say this guy is sis stats are amazing for the price and as for the corner bug man o man. DR Paulo Ferrari guy said he didn't want to come to leeds offered max money and what you know were do i sign DM are yeah bit of a spore spot too that one all the recommend ones had been taken buy bigger clubs so cant help you too much there. i know you not asking for AMC but his guy was very good ideal replacement for piatti when he went to Milan and thats Per Ciljan Skjelbred send a scout his way and go check him out oh and my Saudi captain Al-hawasawi got 28 assist one season mind you that was the season that Cardoza destroyed the prem and i got 100+ goals in the prem If you want a screen shot of any of these players just ask or any others because you could see how they turn out in a couple more years.

That guy Monnet-Paquet sure can score. He scored two in my 5-2 home win against Manchester United in early 2010. It is now February and I'm in sixth place in Premier League. The board thinks I should be performing slightly better (huh?). I finally lost Jimenez and "only" got 20M. I replaced him with defensive mid Matuidi who seems like a good choice. I got Costil in as second keeper beside Hennessey. After first Prem season (if I don't get fired) I need a decent centre attacking mid, a backup left back and an awesome keeper. This would be in summer 2010. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he good hell he won young player of the year in the prem and was part of the time classed as a wonder kid but that 30m could mean you pushing for middle table and you pushing for the title and the dream land Europe just my two bits.
