foggy Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 hi allkey players for me are utaka (left wing 8 assists 7 goals) do you play him as an inside striker cutting in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarnsie Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 i have him set to run with the ball and cut inside started him a few times upfront alongside kitson (nugent was pretty poor) and he didnt deliver there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheer Class Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 If you go up I would just retain the side and make just one signing Conor Wickham You wont have the finances to do anything else so just work on the basis your goign to get relegated no matter what and that the signing above should fire you back to the Prem the following year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarnsie Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 on that basis are you almost better not going up first season and then when you go up second season having a slightly stronger squad to have half a chance to stay up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheer Class Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 on that basis are you almost better not going up first season and then when you go up second season having a slightly stronger squad to have half a chance to stay up? You get £40m for you one year in the prem plus the subsequent parachute payments. No brainer about promotion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarnsie Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 if i happen to have the same injuries as the demo i wouldnt be confident of promotion anyway, i dont think it is the formality some are suggesting? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 i was planning on using nugent uprfont with kitson but he is out for the firt couple of months injured! the player on my bench now who isnt from the ressies or U18 is Kanu. I have a decent start though, won2 lost 2 been inconcsistent but definately improving, last match pulled it from 2-1 down in injury time to win 3-2 thanks to Utaka!

foggy Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Kitson and Utaka were my partnership up front i have been thinking about it as kitson isnt playing great up front by himself but im playing 4-2-3-1 and utaka has had a great start on the left playing as an inside striker, i think it might need a change though in a couple of games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbarnsie Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 similar to me standard had 10 injuries of more than 4 weeks in the demo not happened with other sides on the demo i hasten to add Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 11 games in and im sitting in 5th place and just brought in my first players - Adrianno Basso (GK) on free till the end of the season, Luke Moore (ST) on loan for three months, Corry Evans (CD,CDM,CM) on loan for three months and ben hoskin (RB) Basso is 35(?) so only in for this season, jamie ashdown isnt doing great and i have an annoying habit of going 1 - 0 down early doors in a lot of my matches, luke moore could probably push for a 1st team place with nugent injured yet again, if he does well can buy him for free in the january transfer window. Corry Evans will be the most useful i think because is he versatile and is a lot better then the backup already at pompey. Lastly is Ben Hoskin, a decent young right back brought in for cover but could be a useful signing in the future. Ive also offered a contract to Jay Demerit who is suprsingly still a free agent and offered a contract to ben davies who can play all across the midfield if needed form notts co (accepted an 80k bid), bristol city have offered him one as well though so its 50-50 at the moment with the limited wage budget. Any thoughts? EDIT: ben davies just went to city and corry evans got injured on his first day of training! Only for a week though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard liege! Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Luke Moore is a good signing, although uneeded. Ben Hoskin, Corry Evans, and Basso are all good signings as Ashdown is prone to making errors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarnsie Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 basso is an interesting alternative as a free transfer was/is a solid keeper irl how has he done? as said above im not convinced by ashdown but theres little alternative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggy Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 basso is an interesting alternative as a free transfer was/is a solid keeper irl how has he done?as said above im not convinced by ashdown but theres little alternative Ive played one games since the transfers came in and beat a struggling leicester side 1-0. I played Basso and he got a rating of 6.90, not having to do much but keeping a clean sheet on his debut one of only three of four this season. Luke Moore played the full 90 with Nugent out injured and got man of the match playing 7.7 and setting up michael browns goal! i also played demerit but he was injured after only three minutes, thankfully with the new players i had the likes of mokoena, corry evans and hoskin to bolster what was previously a very weak bench. A great start then for Basso and Moore, and with demerit out for 5-6 weeks corry evans will prbably push for the first team straight away. im now 4th after 12 games four points off the top and 2 points clear of 7th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Ashdown was poor for me so i brought in Adriano Basso for free, hes played 3 conceded 1 with two clean sheets - ave rating of 6.9 - not brilliant maybe but in the games hes played he hasnt had to do much.

Ty Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Great minds think alike, I brought in both of them in my first demo run! JET - Great backup and utility man! The boy can play everywhere, from centre back to striker! Not sure about goalkeeper, but hey! Shove him there as well.

Force Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 A tip, which may have been mentioned or obvious, but a lot of teams in EPL loan out their reserves easily, offered 10% for most and were accepted. A mix of using a 4-4-2 & 4-5-1 working fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
