beverage1982 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey guys, So i had to restart after some data problems but have finished my first 8.0.2 season doing my usual of not buying anyone and have finished 5th which i'm pretty pleased with. Now it's the end of the season and i do need to strengthen. I desperately need a keeper a CB and a striker. I have £32m to spend and like to buy british so any suggestions owuld be welcome but given the fact i can't seem to get a British keeper for less than 30 million i may have to go foreign. BTW Lloris and Akinfeev have already been bought. Cheers guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
directormerrick Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 hi everybody, just need a bit of help. im starting a new game with the villa and need a bit of help, im on the 8.0.2 patch and could do with; RB LB CB back up CM and a striker got about £50M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeeterP Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've recently downloaded patch 8.0.2, so have decided to finally give Villa a serious go using Kimz tactic. I've just finished the pre-season, which went pretty successfully. Pre-season results: DOS Kampen - 5:2 win [barry, Young, Petrov, Carew, Maloney] Dordrecht - 7:1 win [Knight, Agbonlahor(3), Maloney, Arshavin(2)] FC Utrecht - 4:1 win [Gardner, Barry, Moore, Salifou] VVV - 6:1 win [Maloney(2), Berger(2), Harewood] York - 1:0 win [Young] Hartlepool - 2:1 win [Agbonlahor, Young] Players In: (I chose the "Top Half Finish" option so I'm playing with £15m) Andriy Arshavin - £7.5m Paulo Ferreira - £1.8m Gonzalo Pineda - £1.6m + 30% next sale (still awaiting WP though) The rest of the money (around £5m) I'm saving for January. My current squad should be fine for the time being. Starting lineup for Prem opener against Blues: GK: Carson RB: Ferreira LB: Bouma CB: Laursen CB: Davies DM: Barry © DM: Reo-Coker AMC: Young AMC: Petrov AMC: Arshavin ST: Agbonlahor SUB1: Sorensen SUB2: Mellberg SUB3: Maloney SUB4: Carew SUB5: Moore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks23 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi guys just finished my first season with Villa on 8.02. Am not a Villa fan but have always fancied an all British side on FM and I think Villa are probably one of the only teams you could do this and still maintain quality. Team looks like this GK: Carson (but is going back and am desperate to keep hold of him, is it possible?) DR: Gardner DL: Bouma DC: Davies DC: Laursen MC: Reo-Coker MC: Barry AMR: Maloney AML: Young AMC: Petrov SC: Agbonlahor Didn't spend much money in the summer have bought in squad players (young and British) such as Mattock, Haynes Kevin McCann, Chris McCann, Scannell, Lafferty, Bostock, Michael Woods and Cathcart Basically am aiming for the future, do need a new DL, new DC, new AM and another top quality SC. My criteria is - must be British, must be under 23 and must have strong passing and pace attributes despite position. Any help from anyone would be great! Board love me cos I finished 3rd and won league cup so money is quite strong plus am selling Carew for £22mil. Any help would be much appreciated... especially on the Carson situation!!

Barkers Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 hello. Ive recently started a villa game and have just finished the 2nd season with a decent amount of success so far. Finished 5th season one and won the FA Cup. Finished season 2 in 5th spot one more after getting held on the final day against west ham and getting over taken by man city and utd. managed to win the euro cup though with a 2-1 win over ajax in the final. had some meorable win on the way most notably 7-0 away win at zaragoza. Also won the charity sheild. squad currently consists of: Goalkeepers: Enyeama/B Costil Fullbacks: R taylor/M Voltz C Pander/A Taylor Center Back: Z Knight/C Davies/Nordveldt/Bellaid Center Mid: Reo-cocker/N De Jong/G Barry/B Pedretti Attacking Mid: A Young/Agbonlahor/Gouffran/Maloney Strikers: Adriano/Elmander/Moore im happy with the squad at the moment and ive got a ver good youngster coming through. Need to get a decent feeder team so i can send them out on loan to get xp though. Looking forward to starting season 3 when i get home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizo Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 hey, glad there is an aston villa thread because i hate playing with big four, this is a bigger challenge and much more interesting. my experience says that first that you need is strengthening villa's defence. try to get a good cd and good rb (breno, naldo, kompany and coloccini maybe). pay attention to transfer listed players as there can be real gems on offer for small money. this is how i got fabio aurelio who is an excellent left back. second season you need a goalie as carson is returning from loan. likes of robert green or vincent enyeama can be good bargains, stuart taylor will not do. try to add a striker to your new goalie as by the end of second season you'll have aging carew and still to young agbonlahor, maloney and moore, good but still not for highest achievments, get who you can get, depending how much money you have. have trust in your midfielders as they do possess enough quality to hold on through first three seasons. maybe you can add someone on bosman, a cover for reo-coker, for example as he is the only dm with real quality. by acquiring a good striker you can maybe put shaun maloney in the middle and widen the depth of your squad in that area. playing with 8.0.2 patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnymalinky Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Just started a game with Villa and am in the first thiord of my second season. Qualified for Europe but have lost my way in the league a little. Here's a rough list of all my dealings. 1st season: In: Barnes, Taylor, Mattock, Fleck, Wijnaldum, Zeefuik Out: Petrov 2nd Season: In: Bostock, Papadoulopodus, Scannell, Ochao, Spiranovic Out: Laursen Been trying to keep my team UK/Irish as much as poss but this has been tricky because they are expensive, so I've imported a few foreigners. Have 7 million left in the kitty so I'll be buying a CB and a RB in the window. God knows how I'll find a decent British RB at a reasonable price but I suppose that's a different thread. Btw, are there any youngsters worth keeping an eye on in Villa's youth team? (apart from Delf&*%$ and the Austrian striker) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP_Doosra Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The Bellon twins and Harry Forrester usually do okay for youngsters as does Barry Bannan. As for a British right back theres a few decent ones in the Scottish league (Hutton and Wilson) and if that's Ryan Taylor you signed he generally does ok. Also Glen Johnson is solid at right back but whether you'd be better looking outside of Britain, well it really depend on how badly you want a British squad.

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye of Forrester and Bannan and perhaps I'll promote them in a couple of seasons. I think I've actually released one of the twins but I don't suppose he'll be any better than any player I choose to buy. As for a RB, It really is just for cover. I have Ryan Taylor but he's the only one in my squad. Because they won't play often it doesn't really matter if they are not the best RB in the world, price is my main concern. Unfortunately I'm using patch 8.02 and Hutton is at Spurs and very pricey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. hi you might struggle to get veloso to sign for you in the first season. if your looking for a good CB then try your luck with barzagli, he would cost about the same and he usually signs for my villa team in the first season lloris (french gk) would only cost you about £10m and is young and brilliant i think you will really need is a decent RB, i normally go for barragan but he costs about £5m. i use the 8.0.2 patch so if your on a different version then all this information is probrably useless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remalap Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 New game with the Villa. I'll be using Kimz v.2 tactic, so effectively 4-2--3-1. Players in: Paulo Ferreira for £1.8m, good experienced player to fill the vacant RB position. Rafael van der Vaart for £10m + 30% of next fee to add some creativity to my midfield. Nedum Onuoha for £7.5m. Young, English, bags of pace, capable of covering both RB and CB. GK: Carson / Sorensen RB: Ferreira / Onuoha LB: Barry© / Bouma CB: Davies / Onuoha CB: Laursen / Mellberg / Knight DM: Petrov / Barry DM: Reo-Coker(vc) / Gardner AMC: Young / Moore AMC: van der Vaart / Petrov AMC: Agbonlahor / Maloney FC: Carew / Harewood Pre-season friendly results were very promising: Livingston 0 - 6 Aston Villa (Carew x3, Agbonlahor x2, Maloney) Bristol City 1 - 3 Aston Villa (van der Vaart x2, Harewood) Cremonese 0 - 3 Aston Villa (Maloney, Petrov, Agbonlahor) Salernitana 0 - 6 Aston Villa (Laursen x3, Harewood, Maloney, Davies) Taranto 0 - 7 Aston Villa (Carew x2, van der Vaart x3, Young, Laursen) First Premiership game of the season? Birmingham at St Andrews. Roll on! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remalap Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 First 5 matches: Birmingham City 1 - 4 Aston Villa (Agbonlahor x2, Carew, Maloney) West Ham 2 - 1 Aston Villa (Carew) Aston Villa 3 - 2 Blackburn (Carew x2, Laursen) Aston Villa 2 - 0 Sunderland (Laursen, Young) [League Cup] Cardiff 0 - 3 Aston Villa (Barry[Pen], Laursen x2) So that's 4 wins in 5 games, scoring 13 and conceding 5.

directormerrick Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 started a new villa game on 8.0.2 yesterday. i loaded up the chinese league which gave me the option of starting the game in Jan 2008, which i did. i'd never started the game like this before but im glad i did. untill jan '08 no transfers happened in the game as it was all randomly generated, which means for the first 6 months of the season all the teams have had to play with the players that were signed by the time 802 was created. anyway, top six are arsenal blackburn ??????? liverpool chelsea man utd aston villa in the window i bought: crouch £4.2m (transfer listed) barragan £5m Riise £6.5m (in the reserves at 'pool) naldo £8m (transfer listed) the villa were already in semis of carling cup, i got to final and beat chelsea 2-0 ( love you crouchy) and thanks to man u, b'burn and 'pool all going for 3 matches without a win im in 2nd 10 points behind arsenal! just got to end of feb so only about 10 or so games left. if anybody fancys a change when starting a new game load up chinese league and start game in jan 08 id like to hear anybodys thoughts on this.

Remalap Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Croaker - if you're in the first season, try Paulo Ferreira. Starts the game (patch 8.02) on the transfer list and can be bought for £1.8m. He's been a rock for me as RB so far. In other news, I've just had the most triumphant 3 results in my FM history: Aston Villa 5 - 0 Tottenham (van der Vaart x2, Carew x2, Petrov) Chelsea 1 - 3 Aston Villa (Carew x2, Gabby) Aston Villa 3 - 2 Man Utd (Laursen, van der Vaart x2 - including a 92nd minute 40-yard scorcher to win the game!) Sitting in 5th (thanks to Chelsea having +1 better goal difference than us) after 17 games. Anyone else having difficulty getting anything out of Reo-Coker? I'm playing 2 DM's (preferably him and Barry), but he's been awful so far, averaging in the lower 6's and got straight 6 in his last 5 starts. In response to this, I put in Petrov who has deputised admirably - average rating of 7.21 and scored the best goal of the game against Spurs. All Reo-Coker's been used for in the last few games is a 70th/80th minute sub when I want to defend a lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
