NepentheZ Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Real London Update - Season 5 (2013/2014) Blue Square Premier Prediction - 11th Blue Square Premier Position - 20th F.A Cup - 1st Round (v Burscough) F.A Trophy - 4th Round (v Macclesfield) Conference League Cup - S 3rd Round (v Crawley) Blue Square Premier - League Table | League Graph Blue Square Premier : The worst season ever. I fought tooth and nail to stay in the division, and ended up dragging myself out of a relegation spot on the last day of the season. Unlikely as it was, 20th place lost to 23rd in a 4-3 thriller, and I got a draw against 8th place, away from home, which secured my way out. Next season, consolodating is what I'll be looking to do, and finish a firm mid-table. Domestic Cups : Made it to the first round of the F.A Cup again, and drew non-league Burscough, who I demolished 6-0 in a friendly earlier in the season. Needless to say, I lost. A good run in the F.A Trophy, however, saw me lose on pens in the fourth round.

Swindon69 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've noticed a similar theme. If the result is comfortable and i'm just playing the game out my players will start getting challenged heavily, particularly against mid/lower table teams. So tend to take off the more fragile players and bring on the beasts. I've got about 7 players in the first team who are 6'2" and over with good ratings for strength, and when they're all on the pitch I don't tend to get kicked about as much... funny that! Oh for the love of God SIX players injured incl two that had to be subbed in one match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsum Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well, a random example from me; My last Premiership game against Man City. My quick striker had to be taken off after taking a knock (no injury, but fitness went down to about 60%), City commited 33 fouls to my 10 with 6 yellow cards and 1 red. And they had one shot on target to my 11, and I won 2-0. Games where I outplay the opposition generally seem to go like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon69 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Quick update - drew away leg of L2 playoffs, lost two players through injury. Won the home leg - my opponents rough house tactics back fired as they lost two players to injury. Losing play-off final 2-0 both conceded in the opening 10 minutes. 5 ccc to me, SIX brilliant saves by there keeper and I hit the bar. Too ****ed off to write up the season. 21 chances 5 on target 0 scored - they had 5 shots 3 on target and scored twice, oh and my keeper had gone 532 minutes without conceeding, and a massive 13k attendance. Now my board have cut the number of coaches I can have from 6 to 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsum Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I mentioned before about Arsenal's bizarre form this season on my game, and our match was no exception. It finished 6-3! Their midfield and strikers are excellent, no team has given my defence such a challenge. But their defence is absolutely terrible. Looking through their players, I don't think any of them would have made it in to my old Championship side! They have now conceded 49 in 23 games, more than anyone else in the Premiership.

thezogsageordie Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Is it just me that finds it really hard when you start? First season I got mid-table which was good enough, I then went and signed quite a few players that were released from Premiership u18 teams and I thought I had a great chance yet I'm still a midtable team that can't beat bottom of the league...Or even score against them! I'm beginning to think it's my tactics, although I have read some stuff about them on the tactics forum and put that into place in my own tactic yet it hasn't made a blind bit of difference! Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meestellebunde Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The majority of my players have had "Wnt" by their name throughout the game, however not a single bid has ever arrived for them. Just closed the first transfer window of season 3. I give them high asking prices (£1m) for Ben Mee, as top Championship teams are interested in him. Hopefully soon one of them will splash out!

Gypsum Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Just got a news item saying that my Chairman Barry Douglas is looking to step down and let another board member take over. Considering my success must have made him a millionaire over the past few years i'm sure he's going to retire very comfortably. It'll be interesting to see what happens, I hope the new boss has a lot of cash as we really could do with a new stadium, but whatever happens I should think my job is safe as i'm a legend at the club!

daemonic Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hard luck help!!! I always go for lowest expectations no matter how much I need the transfer funds or wages. EDIT: Speaking of wages. Is anyone else the highest paid at their clubs? My manager salary of 55k p/w was, until a couple of recent contract renewals, more than double that of my highest paid player Even now I'm paid 5k per week more than my star striker.

Surely if we were able to lower our wages, it would show a sign of loyalty or something.. I suggested it before that the contract renewal should start with the board coming to you and saying they'd like to renew the contract, how much would you like and from there you can negotiate. If you want to see how much you can accumulate in a career push them as far as you can, otherwise just sign on again at a nice low wage that doesn't hamper the club.

andy139s Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Dover - Coca Cola League Two - 2011/12 Season A brillant season with us finishing 4th and making the playoffs, where we won 1-0 at home and had a hard fought 0-0 draw away against Dagenham & Redbridge which meant we would meet Bournemouth in the final. A great day was had by all at Wembley with us fighting out a brillant 3-2 win to gain promotion to Coca Cola League One. Table Graph This season could have been a lot different if it wasnt for my astute dealings in the transfer market that saw me release no fewer than 15 players and sold 1 for£24,000 who were no where near the standard needed for league football. So this meant i was left with 15 players good enough for league football so off i went in to the transfer market, where i found 14 good lower league players for a total of £0. I also took 1 player on loan from my parent club who then got a season long injury in 1st game for us so sent him back. After doing all this i think this gave me a well balanced squad of experienced and young players. Judging by what we acheived, this seems to have worked well so i think this may be the way forward over the next few seasons. Transfers Squad Best Player On the downside i over spent slightly on the wage budget and also had early exits from the cups so made less money than last year so was unable to improve training and youth facilities. On the upside confidence at the club is good and hopefully with the new tactics and training schedules i been working on over the last few days things could be better next season at the higher level. Finances Confidence On to next season:- Avoid relegation Have a cup run Make enough money to improve facilities Improve squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold Tomkins for £250k, Upson for £250k, King for £1.7M, Yeoman for £1M and Alessandra for £350k. While this means most of the team has left, they were mostly out of contract next year so I got some money while could.

I also managed to get Manager of the Season. The majority of the squad (other view) from last season was kept with a few additions. Cups were much better than last season as well. Reached the 4th round of the Conference Cup, the 2nd round of the FA Trophy and most impressively the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Our stiffs also won their league for the second season running showing that we have decent strength in depth in most positions. Again Thompson got the majority of the goals. Here is my fans player of the year. (Also forgot to do this last season when it was this guy, I like to think the fans sign his name to the tune of Sir Physcho Sexy by the Chillis ) Other important players were Ngo-Baheng, Grieve and Diao-Jimenez. Finally here is Gloucester info and info2, my current profile and what happened in the rest of England (2) (3) (4).

brigadier Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Brigadier's Dover Athletic 2010/2011 Before i begin i firstly have to say that this season has been the pinnacle of my FMing career. Never before have i felt so many emotions in just one season. Fear, rage, euphoria, dismay and pride. At the season start i knew that i wouldn't exactly struggle to stay up. I had confidence in my strike force, and so, i bravely opted for the option 'Mid Table finish'. To summise the whole season in 3 parts it would go like this. A shakey start, a brilliant mid season run and an awful last 5-or-so games. After 46 matches here was the table. I just about managed the play-offs. If it wasn't for the awful end of season form it would have been possible to win it. My play-off semi final was drawn against a constant thorn in my side Rushden. Who only a few weeks ago totally outplayed me. 1st Leg You really couldn't make this stuff up... the very last minute of stoppage time my Captain 'The Psycho' scores a 25 yard screamer to give us the advantage in the tie. An angel was looking out for us here, i just hoped they would for the next leg. 2nd Leg I set out my defence to be a wall. I didn't care about who could score wonder goals every now and again, I needed consistancy to get me through. After an eventless 1st half my nerves were shot... I shouted to me team 'You can win this!' And then up to my new star striker Morten Nielsen... 'Go out there and prove a point.' and boy did he! The first highlight was his 15th goal of the season in 19 games. For the next 40 minutes i had relief until they managed to grab an equaliser... I couldn't remember what having nerves was like... as the pounded chance after chance before the full time whistle. I was through! Play off Final Pitted against Kettering the whole 90 minutes was uneventful... the amazing excitment came in extra time second half. My hopes and dreams were destroyed when Kettering score almost instantly after the half began... We'd tried our best i told myself, maybe next year i would tell them in the dressing room... Cieslewicz scores!! The hard working sub had bailed me out yet again this season! Penalties... I didn't watch, i have never been so nervous in my life. Thankfully i didn't need to worry about my players... It was Kettering that faulted. We'd done it! Promotion! Key players GK- Again it's Martin Hansen. The only reason being him my only goal keeper for the best part of two years... an new signing near the end of the last season 32 year old Dimi Konstantopoulous will pushing Hansen next season all the way. Def- It's a tough choice but i have to go for signing this year Kenny Strickland. Always soild even when nursing injuries. I'm expecting him to be just as prominent next season in League 2. Mid- My new captain for the season and second consecutive Mid of the year Shaun 'The Psycho' Saiko. He's constantly lead the way ddespite his young age. His devine intervined goal in the Semi's easily secured him this award. Now we're professional i suspect he will be in the Canada squad again sometime soon. For- Really really difficult... there's my last years star striker Nick Banfield and this seasons top scorer of 20, however his last ten or so games were unforgivably poor. Morten Nielsen the January free transfer who destroyed the league when he first came. But the award goes to Adrian Cieslewicz, the unsung hero of the year. Super sub i call him which is very musch deserved with so many last minute game saving goals. Squad- I really need to off load some people mainly strikers and Wingers who won't be able to cope with the higher league standard. I've already prepared by offering contracts to rejected Premiership youngsters. Finances- Looking good! I'm hoping to persuade the board to improve youth and training facilities, though for now i've annoyed them enough i think. This year i really am hoping to survive... this will be tough.

Once again my players proved their worth and simply crushed all resistance. I think the back 4 together with the keeper were the decisive area to this seasons success. Also, Nielsen and Burge's scoring +20 goals also contributed alot. Domestic Cups The only thing worth mentioning is the massive amount of money I got after playing (and loosing to) Arsenal in the FA Cup 5th round. CLC and FAT were very dissappointing.
