Blackmama Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I finally bought my version og FM08 today. The patch is downloading as I'm writing this and this time around I´ll give Gundo's challenge a go. I nearly finished Dafuge's challenge in 07 - so I think I'm ready for another challenge. Is there a list of the teams all other participants have chosen, so I can choose a different one and feel unique? I'm gonna read all 21 pages of posts while I wait for the game to process trough season 1 - but if there is a list....Thanks in advance. (PS. the patch just finished downloading ) This will be my first game in 08 - so hopefully they killed all the bugs. I'll get back to you when my profile is ready... I'm 29 and still this is better than Christmas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 happy. Congrats on finishing 3rd . That's the way you should look at it rather than seeing it as a missed opportunity. Your players will be a year stronger and a year wiser and the extra year in Division 2 could serve you well when you do go up. johnny. Were you not tempted to have another go at N.Ireland? I suppose because you completed the challenge from there last season you felt like pastures new. NepentheZ. Good luck at Knockbreda. You have some big boots to fill there. Now don't be signing my Super Keeper just to compete with him in the goals-scoring stakes . Annihilator. Can you remember at what point you became solvent? Also, how did you do in the early(ish) years against "grey" teams. I'm REALLY struggling against them. Would you mind posting a pic of your overall best eleven at the end of each season with your update please. It helps me follow peoples games. In fact......... If it's not too much trouble, could everyone post a pic of their overall best eleven with their end of season update if they get the chance. It's nice to see how players are progressing.

Jimbokav1971 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Blackmama. Good to have you on board, (ya youngster) . I can whole-heartedly recommend N.Ireland, but I know that Croatia and Norway are popular destinations too. The thread is certainly worth a read . Peter G. You might find it easier if you uploaded a pic of your transfers in future. Once you've done it a couple of times it becomes easy. It also help the appearance of your posts and maked people more likely to read them. rlipscombe. You've started a little Caerloen club haven't you . ManU@ Come on! You can't tell us you signed your old school-teacher without some pics . Name him and show us how he improves. ps. Make backups ! Gundo. PC Myhre looks good but I'm surprised he didn't score with his long shots ability. Have you thought about where you position him at corners ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now don't be signing my Super Keeper just to compete with him in the goals-scoring stakes . Cheers buddy. I don't think i have the same keeper as you, and he no longer takes FK's either. His stat dropped from to 6 within about 5 weeks. Although, you did state the top scorer for you in the first season was 4 goals, so far with 4 games to go, my 16 yr old AM/SC has 25 Goals in 25 Games 19 Goals in 16 League Games.!!!!

Gundo Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Originally posted by iacovone:Gundo - could you retell the story of Patrick Burda for those that weren't here last year? It's all a mystery to me at the moment. Once upon a time in the small Swedish town of Höllviken... That'll be the long version. Well it all started in dafuge's FM07 challenge thread last year when cookie15 signed this young Swedish/Polish striker from the Swedish non-league club Höllvikens. He was an instant hit with his Burscough team he was managing at the time, anyway he scored freely outside the top division. Once cookie got his team promoted to the Premiership I remember posting this comment: 'Do you think he will be able to make the step up?', as I was very much doubting he could bridge the gap. Well Burda went on to become an Immense force for cookie in the Premiership and become a abit of a legend to rival the likes of SuperKyle. Then when I launched this FM07 challenge thread early last year, a few of us who where managing in Scandinavian countries signed him and he was simply awesome and the hype just kept snowballing. And so the Legend was born. Sadly in FM08 it is unlikely he'll be in your game unless you are managing in Sweden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStarbuster Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm loving my new team - decided to play a load of friendlies against English clubs at home to gain revenue from the matches. Ended up playing 10 friendlies - winning the 2 against Croat opposition and getting slaughtered by the English teams - including a disappointing 6-1 against Bristol Rovers. I've had to buy a brand new team which is always good http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj126/CaptainStarbuster/Transfers.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played him on the right wing for most of the season and for corners yes I did have him lurking on outside the area, there just always seemed to be far too many bodies in the box that the shots would hit?

League Table (2nd Division) | League Graph Squad Stats Finances Club Info Paul Wallace - Star Man Overall Best 11 League (2nd Division) - A great start to my management here at Knockbreda. The board wanted promotion, the fans wanted promotion, and me being the optimistic manager that I am, wanted promotion. And I duly delivered. If it wasn't for Goal difference, I would have won the league, but had to settle for second place. Led the league for long periods early on, but injuries and suspensions caused me to drop silly points to silly teams. A GREAT scoring record in the Division along with a good defense. Final Position - 2nd Intermediate League Cup - After smashing my way through the group stage, winning three and drawing the reamaining two, I was hopefuly for a nice 1st round draw. Unfortunately, I got league 1 Newry. After taking an early shock lead, Newry eventually came back into the game and took a storming 4-1 victory home with them. I was a little disappointed, but hey, they were higher level oppo.! Antrim Trophy - The third game in my as yet short career, and I draw non-league, non-player, no hopers Abbey Villa. I was delighted, I expected to rattle goal after goal past them. And boy did I.! My new signing Paul Wallace, a 16 year old fast AMC (who I have sinced developed into a Striker), rattles in hat-trick on his debut, and another of my new signing's put a 4th past Abbey Villa. I was delighted, 4 Goals past Abbey Villa.! Final Score. 4-5. . Yes, It seemed Abbey Villa were there to play too, and each of the 4 times i went ahead, they pulled one back, only to wrap the game up in the 80th minute with their 5th goal.

He scored 31 goals in 28 games, and at the young age of 17 holds all scoring records for the club. Already capped at U-19 level for N. Ireland, and deserved it.

My first two seasons I was in the red, but I started organising lots of pre-season friendlies with English Championship/League One teams and the revenue from these gradually built up my bank balance. Getting into the All Ireland Cup on a regular basis really helped too. In the early years, I was terrible against grey teams. I lost probably somewhere between 60-75% of the time to them. In fact, in the last three Irish Cup finals, grey teams have been there twice. And I'll start posting my best eleven from the next update onwards.

Jimbokav1971 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Also, im guessing its not "morally wrong" or against the rules in this challenge to raise money..?? I think it depends how it's done. My personal point of view is that it's a big no-no, but then again as long as the opposition are realistic then it should be reasonable. I'm playing a hot-seat game with my son at the moment and I am managing Man City. My Ass Man looked after pre-season frendlies and he had us touring round Ireland. With than in mind, the mention of the likes of Bristol Rovers, (can't remember who it was), and Annihalator playing Championship/League 1 teams seems pretty realistic to me if I'm honest. Initially I was thinking of this from the point of view of the dafuge challenge, but the Gundo challenge is a little different. I would say that it's realistic for that level of team to come on tour to N.Ireland and also for Scottish teams (with the exception of the old firm). It's something I will probably look at next pre-season if I'm honest. Maybe I'll tray and get Gundo to have a think about it and make a ruling on it before then. Like I've said though, what little evidence of it that I've seen in here seems pretty realistic and reasonable. Annihalator is volounteering the info so he's not being underhand about it and whoever the other poster was posted the info without asking too.
