Pozzati Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Vincent Kompany alongside Steven Taylor has been very good for me. Would also think that Ezequiel (sp?) Garay will do a good job. These two will cost you though, but you can afford it. Matias Fernandez is a good prospect for the right wing. Can easily be trained there, and is a great player in the game.

DragoLT Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 just had this incredible game and what a passion to get a draw and thats my first game against Man United, take a look at Scholes stats i've never seen anywhere near that number of key passes in one game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spengler Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Samba has been great for me alongside Taylor at DC, bought off Blackburn for only £800k, now Juventus are after him. Heading 20 and Jumping 19! I've got Bentley in as a right winger, cost a bit (about £11million), but I'd sold Milner to Portsmouth for £17.25million. I've found Bentley to be a lot better. Far more consistant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyman19 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Awesome against Chelsea there, I managed 7-1 against West Brom couple seasons ago, lol, Andy Carroll got 5, legend.

harbeckp Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Best Victory I ever had was the Carling Cup final, 4-1 against Chelsea. They didn't know what hit em.

Pozzati Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The games were crazy. Don't know what happens with Owen. He doesn't play well at all in any other matches, but these two against Chelsea he scored 12 (!) goals. Think he just love to play against Chelsea. To be honest Chelsea didn't field their best players in the second leg. But in the first leg all the best players played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman19 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 If anyone wants to make a quick profit over one season buy Ben Foster, got him off the mancs in jan for 1.2mil and he played a blinder in first season, he kept Shaymless on the bench and thoroughly ****ed off Harper, sold him in the summer for 10.75mil to VillaReal and brought in Joao Carlos. On a funny note, Nigel Pearson left me high and dry in second season and just checked his profile recently an it says he's "slightly jealous of you and your position" haha ****** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spengler Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Once you sort the defence out and get a few more attacking players in the squad Newcastle seem a decent team to manage. I'm into December in my 2nd season, came 6th in the 1st season, currently 3rd (but Chelsea out of sight in 1st ) and easily flying through the initial rounds of the UEFA Cup. Current line up: Given Beye Enrique Samba (£800k from B'burn, great signing) Taylor Bentley (sold Milner for £17.5 and bought Bentley) Kewell (£1.9m) Geremi Van Der Vaart (great player, £15.5m from HSV) Huntelaar (£11m) Owen Subs: Harper Billy Jones Barton Emre Duff Krancjar Faye Crespo Ameobi Smith Franks Next on my shopping list; Anelka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc25 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 just started a new game with the Toon, on patch 8.0.2 where is the key areas to strengthen? who would you recommend bringing in on the playing side and the staff side? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spengler Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 >> KC25 You need to sort out a partner at centre half for Taylor first and foremost. I got Samba in cheap at the start of the game and he's been cracking. Value up to over £5million now and Juventus after him. Grabs a few goals from corners too. I shipped Milner out too as a bit too inconsistant, so i'd look for another r winger. and then try and sort out a way of playing that gets the best out of Owen, i've found that if you can he's ace, but if you can't he's v poor. If you want to keep Owen & Martins, offer them new contracts asap as they both have release clauses in, i think Owen's is £9million and Martins' £13million. And you can get rid of tat like Butt as well! and Cacapa! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenonny Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Just finished my 1st season with Newcastle, suprisingly in the last few weeks 'cos other teams were bunched up at the top we managed to sneak through and win the league with a far superior goal difference to Liverpool. Man Utd a further 3 points back with Arsenal and Chelsea behind them. Players bought - Piatti, Stancu (for the future) Van der Vaart and i think the other players were back-up or "ones for the future" signings. Budget for 2nd season is £40M and the positions I'm looking for players in are - DC (someone to partner Taylor), DR & DL replacements or options other than Enrique & Faye, possible MC & GK.

kc25 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 thanks SPENGLER I have managed to sign Samba for 1.4m, i trying to sell duff, carr, emre & ameobi but no interest. i still have owen & martins, what is the best formation to get the best out of these guys? i also signed a couple of Russian wingers Arshavin & Zhirkov. who would you recommend on the staff side of things?

Spengler Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 KC25 > I've had that problem, in 2nd season and still can't get anyone to buy Viduka or Cacapa, only just got rid of Rozenhal aswell. Don't ask me how to get the best out of Owen, i'm still trying to work that one out!! Most infuriating. As for staff i'm sure there's a better Ass man than Pearson but i've had problems getting anyone to come to me.

hyrule_king Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 1st Season Review: After a massive clearout of 10 players including Taylor for 12.5m to Pompey and Milner for 2.6m to west ham. I rebuilt the squad by bringing in some experience and youngsters including colloccini 7.5m and kompany 7.5m to strengthen the defence, then briand, warnock, gyan and paulo ferreira. A poor finish of 10th in the prem. Highs for the season were reaching the quarters of fa and the final of league cup only to lose to chelsea 2-0. Player Ratings: Goals: Martins 14 Briand 11 Gyan 9 Owen 8 (injured most of the season) Average ratings: Beye 7.20 Kompany 7.19 Warnock 7.17 Barton 7.17 Ratings and Goals tell me that i'm not providing enough chances to the likes of owen and martins in attack. Best Result: 5-1 vs Aston Villa (H) Owen x2,Milner,Martins Peryrea. My aims for season 2 are a top 6 finish , the board want a title challenge , i'll see what they give me to spend at the start of the season for a title challenge.

jlawlor91 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 On the patch 8.0.2, i was Newcastle. Heres my team: Gk: Given, Harper, Krul Df: Samba, Kompany, Faye, Taylor, Enrique Mf: Barton, Smith, Duff, Milner, N'Zogbia, Modric, Sidwell, Geremi St: Owen, Martins, Carroll As you can see I signed Samba, Kompany, Giles Barnes, Modric and Sidwell. Kompany - 10 mill Modric - 10.5 mill Sidwell - 3.4 mill Barnes - 13 mill Samba - 2.2 mill I sold Habib Beye, Viduka, Emre, Cacapa and released Ramage. I'm now trying to sell Duff, Rozehnal who is back from loan at Lazio. Tim Krul is also going to join West Brom for 2 million at the end of the season. Those 5 players were worth their money. With the remaining of my transfer budget i signed Henri Saivet, John Bostock,Aquino, Saez, John Fleck. I put them all in my youth team, who didnt lose a game all season, drawing just one and winning the Cup. My first team squad finished 5th with a dramatic end, also winning the FA Cup, reaching my expectations of Euro Cup qualification through position in league. Top Goalscorer: Michael Owen (26) Most Assists: Obafemi Martins (14) Man Of The Match: Obafemi Martins (9) Yellow Cards: Joey Barton (13) Red Cards: Joey Barton (1) Average Rating: Michael Owen (7.34) Memorable results include 2 victories over Arsenal at home, a 2-2 draw with Man United at home, 3-2 away win to Everton to secure 5th, 4-2 away at Portsmouth and a 5-1 win at home to Reading. Disappointing results were a 6-1 loss away to Sunderland/Scum (bad i know!) and a 4-2 loss to West Brom in the League Cup. Now looking to progress, Barnes, Owen, Saivet, Modric, Milner and Smith are all wanted but i'm not letting anyone go. Jose Enrique will hopefully get replaced by Gareth Bale and i'm looking for a very good right-back, any ideas? Tried to sign Richard Dunne, Michael Johnson but were too expensive. Thoughts please cheers for reading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidthoris Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm at the end of the summer transfer window in 2010.. I've got 55 million left of my transfer budget. Just brought in Garay (14.75m), Ilsinho (13.25m), Adrien (10.25m) and Adriano on a free transfer .. GK: Given / Marshall / Jourdren DF: Coloccini / Garay / Taylor / Ignashevich FB: Taiwo / Ilsinho / Mathieu / Beye / Enrique MC: Adrien / Veloso / Barton AMC: Neves / Cani / Gourcuff / Arshavin / Jiménez ST: Gignac / Adriano / Iaquinta / Owen / Saivet (reserves) / Martins (reserves) Usual squad: Given Taiwo Garay Coloccini Ilsinho Neves Adrien Veloso Arshavin Jiménez Gignac Subs: Marshall Taylor Mathieu Barton Cani Gourcuff Adriano Owen Haven't really worried about getting a better second keeper since Given has almost played every single game since I started without injury. But I think this is his last year as nr. 1. Beye and Enrique have been my starting fullbacks since I started as well but Beye is getting old and slow so I brought in Ilsinho. Taiwo I brought in last season as backup but he has won the spot now. I'm not sure where I might need to improve. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWZ_Tomek Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hey all, currently playing playing as newcastle in first season, it's almost the first of January so the start of the winter transfer window and I'm within a win of 5th place. It's really been a dogfight this season in the Premiership, so it's still conceivable that I could qualify for CL footnball next season. This is my team: GK: Given/Harper DR: Ferreira (loan)/Beye DL: Jose Enrique/Mathieu DC: Samba/Faye DC: Taylor/Cacapa/Faye DMC: Butt/Barton ML: Menez or N'Zogbia based on form, Duff has just returned to fitness MR: Milner/Menez AMC: Van der Vaart ST: Owen/Viduka ST: Martins/Viduka I've shifted between this and a lone striker tactic where I used Menez, VdV and Milner as attacking mids, bring in Emre to CM and Barton/Butt to play the more defensive CM role (curved barrow to DMC) I've not beenb able to sell guys like Smith, Geremi, Carr or Amoebi. Now, here's the thing. I've just sold Emre to Betis for 3.8 million pounds and Ashley accepted a bid of 10M from Villa. That should leave me with ~23.5M to spend in January. Any ideas for improvments, as I really want to continue on my path to qualify to Europe...and CL football would really be satisfying next year. I've scouting Veloso but apparently he'll have no interest in signing for me. Will this change once the window actually opens? Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

My squad looks like this; (player with stars - i brought) GK: Ben Foster (* £5.25m Man Utd) CB: Steven Taylor CB: Curtis Davies CB: Garay (* Loan Inter) RM: Agbonglalho (sp)/Milner CM: Veloso (* £21.5m A.Madrid) CM: Barry/Song LM: Milner/N'Zogbia AM: Willian (* 10m Shakter) ST: Owen ST: Gouffran (sp) I feel i need a striker and have been looking at Huntelaar whos unsettled at AC Milan but his is interested in a move to England and Walcott who was on a free but he went to Bolton (cash up), any ideas? Any other recommendations appreciated. Before anyone asks.. the reason why Newcastle have 3 former villa players is they where relegated during the 09/10 season so the previous manager must of snapped them up.

bobbybobster Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just starting a game with Newcastle and was wondering what Duff is like? Worried he is injury prone and on big wages, but if he plays well I will stick with him... Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spengler Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Duff is alright, fairly consistant i've found, very rarely has a poor game, but then by the same token he rarely has a run of games where he gets 8's and 9's. I'm halfway through season 2 and i've found Kewell (bought at the start of season 1 for £1.9million) has been the better player. Also Kewell gets far more goals breaking into the opponents box than Duff does. Worth keeping Duff tho to cover injuries and to play in those 'easier' cup and home legue games to give your 1st choice left winger a well earned rest.

Super_sub Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Just finished first season, came 6th place in FAPL, won league cup (beat arsenal 2-1 in final). I've been given a £24 million budget to improve the squad. First season in: 1st team - Steven Defour Matias Fernandez SergeyIgnashevic Ben Sahar Robbie Keane Reserves - Henri Saivet Nacer Bazarite Genero Zeefuik Gabriel Torje Bogdan Stancu First Season out: Viduka (Loan - get rid of wages) Emre Martins Milner I was top scorers in the FAPL in my first season, and with Carroll back and Saivet and Zeefuik already looking ready for the occasional sub appearance i dont wish to sign a new stiker unless an amazing deal is available... Now heres where i need help...I have a bid for Torje of £4.5m(value is 1.5), and the only other Attacking ride sided player i have is Smith who isnt renowned for his wing play. I have lined up bids for: Bentley - £7m (Blackburn got relegated) Jonas Gutierrez - £5.5m Giles Barnes - £6.5m + Geremi Which of these do you think is the best option? Or are there others, i think Aaron Lennon is unsettled at spurs??? Also, i want a new keeper who is capable of filling Givens ageing gloves and Marco Amelia is available at £5.5m is he worth that? Other option is Ochoa, who my scout believes is available at £4m. A new right back would also be useful, and with around £15m of my budget allocated to other positions, what are your suggestions? i'm scouting and praying that sagna is available lol. Cheers in advance, Ben. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquerade Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Got some answers for you Ben. MR/AMR - look no further than Mario Santana of Fiorentina, probably better than all three previously mentioned by yourself straight off the bat (although Barnes and Bentley could possibly develop above him), but most importantly very cheap. Check him out. GK - I know everyone will feel it's obvious but Lloris is your man. I'd say offer around 10m with a 50% sell on (no intent to sell in the future of course) and you might be able to get him. RB - again, fairly obvious, but certainly worth checking the availability of Rafinha. Again I'd advise bumping your bid with a 50% sell on to drop the initial fee. If not Rafinha then maybe Ryan Taylor or Carlos Diogo. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_sub Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah i posted a new discussion, updated with info that i had bid for Rafinha, they've stalled at £9.5mil hoping for more but no other offers so hopeful there! Lloris just needs me to press Accept and is done at £9.5 mil + 50%, and ochoa am waiting for a work permit, at £3.7 mil + 15%...i like to spend wisely and not spend too much on one player...so i'm thinking ochoa...if i want Lloris in future for first team then maybe... Santana has moved on, and i've got bids of £7mil accepted for both barnes and bentley, gutierrez went to juve (wouldn't pay his £40k wages, being tight after some of the rediculous wages inherited) so its a straight shot between the two.

Masquerade Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 New game: opening review Rules: Real Players, No Funds First Season, Attribute Masking Players in:Thiago - Free (Barcelona) Players out:None Things could not be going much worse. I normally feel a tad guilty about utterly destroying the current squad when funds are available but now I see why I shouldn't. Martins is 1 goal in 6 and looking every bit the shocking disappointment he became following 8.0.2 once again. Michael Owen got injured for 3 months on his first game back. Got a goal before he left but we still couldn't finish the match off (2-2 v Villa - bloody frikkin ex-Newcastle). Emre's out for a month as well, Given's still not back in the side, Harper's doing alright but even so. Current position 18th W1 D2 L6 If I can actually make it to the next season I doubt I'll follow through with my plan to restrict myself to English lads only, this side needs an overhaul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikmikmik Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 tips for people who wants to play newcastle, i personally feels this team is a very good team and worth the time to play it.. to start off on how to play this team, focus on your defence as in the game newcastle is a team who scores alot and concedes alot.. my newcastle team is now in its 3rd season and in the 1st season i surprisingly won the league as man utd lost its 15 pt lead at the top of the table with an amazing 10 match LOSING STREAK. well tt is another story for another day. 1st season i tink its hard for anybody to change the defence much, play taylor more, he is class .. i had this backline "jose enrique, faye, taylor, beye" it still concedes alot but its the best i can come out with as i regreted in my 1st season i did not ask for more budget and i spent it on attack :S.. martins maybe class but i tink its worth it selling him.. as i got a very attractive offer by palermo, trading him for bresciano ( A MUST BUY, he is CLASS ) and an additional 29mil. that is totally worth it. Owen himself can score loads so no need to bother about martins, use that money and spend it on some quality striker. i have seen many people posting in the thread saying that they wan to sell geremi, heed my advice, don't. he is a gem whose stats deceives everybody, he is a goalscoring machine in midfield if you actually play him often, put him as the one who takes freekick and put his instruction of long shots to often, you find him scoring goals, enough for a player like him. trust me, geremi is a good player! of coz i replace most of my newcastle team.. but geremi is still the star captain.. keep him everybody.. try hiM!
