Not only were the incoming player bettering the team drastically, I managed to get rid of all the inconsistent dross and still make 5M. I am on the hunt for a quality CB but other than that the team look amazing! The first game we looked great... taking a 1 - 0 lead against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge... but in the 2nd half they had other ideas and we got beat 4 - 2, goals from Atsu first, then Dembele. Crystal Palace is next and how we would love to get one over on the former manager... Pardew Whats Dembele like from Celtic? tried to get him in the championship but didnt want to join me. Good enough for the prem? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_wilko Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I had Dembele briefly in my beta save and he was great. Was outscoring Mitro and Gayle and in one game got a hat trick off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose_Jack Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi everyone, First time using this site and looking for a little help. Started a save with Newcastle and I am finding it very frustrating. I am half way through the season and my side is very inconsistent and conceding a lot of goals. I am using two tactics atm in 4231 or 4123. Playing pretty similar to most people on this thread low tempo, structured, controlled. I am wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction in what team instructions to play? I am currently 6th in the league with 32 games played... 11 points off top!!! I just cant hold on to a lead, going 2-0 up in a lot of games only for my side to collapse and either draw or sometimes even lose the game. I don't understand why, especially having just won the EFL Cup beating premiership competition in each round, keeping clean sheets in all but one of them. Sorry for the rant but I know this side is a lot better than what it is showing! All help welcome lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matisarue Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Here are the transfer market of both seasons. Im in 08-27-17 with a good start in EPL. Pedro Álvaro it's a real beast. Bebé, at the moment is making a bad season. Acuña had a great season in the Championship but now he isn't playing because an injury, but is a recommended buy.

I was 10 points behind Norwich who was top and i was 5th in February. Make sure you praise good performances of individuals. Especially Shelvey. Also dont be afraid to use a 4-4-2 against opponents that you would expect to win against. Try and kill them off early so i tend to sideline team walk encourage in the first 20. I have just finished my first season finishes top on goal difference. but I still won the league. There are many games in the championship so plenty of time. I found looking into the opponent analysis very useful, try get a good assistant i went with Steve Clarke. Also a Good Data Analysis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Help will be appreciated. Afternoon Guys! So last night i finished my first season. I won the league on Goal difference. Woooo! I still won As you can see my team from December. I added Kristoffer Ajer who turned out to be a brilliant bit of business scored some great goals from long range. My question is with all the players returning from loan who to keep, who to get rid of? The biggest question is where to strengthen and with who? All Suggestions welcome.

Catley94 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Half way through second summer window. Big overhaul and currently have 97 million and 300k wages to spend.

WingPlay Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I have currently played 27 games and I sit top of the championship with 61 points. I am ahead of Norwich who have 56 points and Leeds who have 55. Currently have a goal difference of +31. I am in January and looking to strengthen the midfield in particular having lost both Anita (4.3mill) and Tiote (2mill) as they wouldn't sign new deals with the club. So far I have got in a few young players from Spain with high potential (goalkeeper,centre back and a central midfielder). Managed to get Doucoure from Watford for 2.3 million unsure if anyone has bought him? And would be keen to hear opinions. These are my only signings so far. May look to bring a few on loan to provide cover. I have managed up to now to win 3 manager of the month awards and have just broke the clubs unbeaten run. Hopefully I can complete the job going forward and gain promotion as champions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtanza Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 So first season over with and we won the Championship comfortably. With 9 matches to go we were 22 points clear or something like that and we only needed one win to secure the first place. We were also on course for setting a new record for points and wins in the Championship. That is when the boys decided to show me exactly how they managed to get relegated in the first place. In those last 9 games we won 1, drew 4 and lost 4. I dont really know what happened, but we still managed to win the league thanks to our impressive display earlier in the season. With that "excellent" run in mind and the 60 something millions the board has given to me, I think a smaller overhaul of the squad is coming to make sure we stay up in the Prem. I am also thinking of switching tactics as we no longer are the best team in the league. I am currently traveling for my work so will not have much time to play, but I will report back in once I settle on a new tactic and the summer transfer window is closed.

Danny Ings is a good back up to him and has scored 2 goals in 2 starts and 2 subs which is really promising. Gayle hasn't even had a sniff yet after picking up a preseason injury which put him out for 5 weeks. I've just completed the transfer window and have a better looking defence following the purchase of Michael Keane from Burnley and Younes Belhanda who is going to provide stiff competition across all attacking positions.

jlawlor91 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Walked the Championship in my first season, but it hasn't led me to become very angry and annoyed at the inconsistencies the game throws at me over and over again. Practically every single one of my players has experienced a severe lack in form, especially my strikers: Mitrovic - 15 in 37 games - hasn't scored in his last 13 games Gayle - 12 in 30 games - 2 goals in 6 games - both coming in the same game Perez - 7 in 29 games Preciado - 0 in 8 games Although the above doesn't look bad, I've had to witness a hell of a lot of awful ratings (roughly for each player I'd say 3/5 games), whether it be in a 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-2-4 or 4-1-2-2-1. The main problem seems to be a lack of shots on target despite having a lot of shots, but I'm not sure how to fix it as I've tried a variety of things - not too many attack or support duties, different formations and not over-complicating instructions, yet the chances aren't coming even though we've walked the league. Anyone experienced similar? As on paper and from the first half of the season, my team have randomly continued to throw up drivel for no apparent reason.

I've had exactly the same problem before getting promoted. A few new players seem to have stopped the inconsistent shots on target in the EPL. What are your tactics mainly set up like? I found a lot of the time it was the long shots ruining the overall player averages. It could be worth telling your players not to try them in the individual tactics.

Jack Willshare was unhappy at Arsenal after his loan spell at Bournemouth so I bought him for only 13 million pounds. 4. I bought Phil Jones for only 5 million, he was unhappy at Manchester. 5.

I lowered his salary but his bonus' etc were all far fetched, he won't ever earn them anyway I'm tipping. I bought in boudebouz, papadopolous, martins indi, moussa dembele from celtic, a Portuguese CM (name escapes me atm, late 20s, experienced).

Bluenose_Jack Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I am just into the new year and doing surprisingly well for what I thought would be a season battling relegation. I am currently playing a 4231. Home form is brilliant so far but conceding far to many goals away which is tempting me to play around with another system to see if I can rectify this but most other things I have tried hasn't worked so far. Does anyone have any tactics they use which could come in handy? I was pretty happy with my transfer window and probably wont spend in this January window saving my budget until next season.... unless somebody pops up unexpected and affordable. Just hoping I can maintain my form and hopefully end up in Europe. Also still in the Europa league into the knockout stages so season is looking promising!

WingPlay Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I am currently pretty much unable to strengthen my squad as I have literally no wage budget. I have tried to adjust the transfer budget on the slider but each time I do only the the transfer budget moves but wage settings stay the same. Apparently I'm expected to strengthen my squad with like 24k left of the wage budget and over 37million to spend,don't get what's going on? I also am having an issue with players who are close to signing not being granted work permits even though they've played in England before. Atsu has had his rejected and so has Kayal. any ideas what is going on with my game?surely this can't be right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose_Jack Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Fortunately I haven't encounted any problems like this, surely it is a bug of some sort. Is this your first save? has it happened on any other saves? Sorry I cant be of any help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingPlay Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Have looked into it and it seems like the board think we won't meet FFP rules and won't allow me to adjust budgets. No idea how this has happened as I've barely signed anyone in comparison to some people on this thread. the season has now started and I've managed to sign only 4 people but other areas need strengthening. anyone any ideas what's happened?

Bluenose_Jack Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Have you tried bringing your wage budget down by selling the dead wood at the club? At one point I wasn't complying with the English Premier League FFP regulations but once I sold everyone and brought my expenditure down it was fine. If I remember correctly I couldn't adjust my budget at that time either. Hopefully this helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodds' Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 After such a good start, Bristol City just gave me such a slap in the face! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingPlay Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I resigned as I couldn't get the budgets adjusted and it was annoying me not being able to spend millions. Two weeks later Celtic want me although Brendan Rodgers has now joined Newcastle as my replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshace Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Work permit rules are much more strict this season irl and in game.... Having played in england before has no bearing on any new permit requests... you can find the rules and criteria to be met in the league > rules panel in game.

Catley94 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Spent almost a whole day trying to form a solid staff set up and scouting network. Seems to have paid off as I've hit a goldmine of regens in the summer window. Will post some screenshots later of the better few - should be an interesting season in Europe!

I have them all on ongoing assignments for different countries, seems to be doing the trick so far as they found me this guy for only 1.5 million - bargain!
