Doiggy_2007 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Finally out the embargo on mine, managed to get Stephen Darby, Frank Nouble and Ryan Donaldson on loan, and got Tom Soares coming in for £0 from Stoke in January! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting signings, Donaldson is a striker yes? Wouldn't of though you would needed him. Great deal with Soares to bad you won't be able to play him though!

Sheer Class Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 The thing is you dont need strikers really, full backs. I got Naughton and Wilson on loan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard liege! Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yeah you're right Sheer, on my first attempt I brought in David McNamee. This time I will try and bring in some fullbacks on loan in October. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doiggy_2007 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Naughton didn't want to come! Donaldson I got as back up for Brown in centre-midfield. Nouble I got for leftwing, so I don't have to play Utaka there, and Darby is back up for right back! Let Flahavan go as well. Anyone completed the demo yet?

Fair enough, but Utaka is a machine on the left wing And yes I have, completed it yesterday - my post is up there about it. Got into the semi finals of League cup and was around 8th in the league, wish I could of carried it on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yeah definitely, you need fullbacks and probably just an extra bit of cover in midfield guys. No need for strikers what so ever, you have an abundance of them! They are all pretty decent for Championship as well, except Webber. I hate that guy, useless.

Ty Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Webber isn't that bad tbf, not bad for about a 4th/5th choice. Meh, I have always disliked him. It isn't just a Portsmouth thing. I don't want to start properly with Portsmouth on the demo, you know why. So I am just browsing things and trying out new stuff, and messing around being other teams as well. Tempted mess about with Chelsea and try to just get use to attempting to buy players, something you can't do with Portsmouth on the demo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbarnsie Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 hi all some thoughts on the demo with pompey sitting in 5th at demo end which im happy with , obviously havent signed anybody key players for me are utaka (left wing 8 assists 7 goals) lawrence right win and kitson upfront ashdown has made 4 shockers but maybe thats just my game save? lost last three games mainly down to having 4 defenders injured and having to play 2 youth players in full games. Is the general consensus that the whole squad will need to be replaced if promotion is achieved? perhaps utaka,kitson and rocha are the only ones i would be tempted to keep if and when that arises. The fact that fm rewards squad consistency so much these days means when you are promoted its going to be a very hard challenge getting a new side to gel any further thoughts appreciated. I was using a 4-4-2 similar to the template at the start of this thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
