Hershie Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Southampton just came bottom of the Premier League. There aren't too many weird team success/failure stories really, although Coventry and Norwich are established Premier League sides. Southend and Shef Wed are up there too, with Lincoln as a yo-yo side. Notts County have just been promoted for the first time. Kettering are in the Championship too, but a lot can change in 40+ years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brod104 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm considering playing through the night tonight, and have just had some sad news on my Liverpool/England save, coming to the end of the 2012/13 season. Michael Owen has already broken the England goalscoring record, currently standing on 62 goals. This gives him a goal per game ratio of exactly 1 goal every two games, because he currently stands on 124 caps for England, one behind the all-time record of 125, held by Peter Shilton. However, it looks like he's going to miss out on that record, because he's just suffered another cruciate ligament injury, putting him out for 8 months. At 33, I doubt he'll manage to get back into the squad, assuming he doesn't retire because of the injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peljam Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think I might do an all nighter too. I've been FM deprived since Thursday due to the other half coming up I was at Messina, for many seasons. I got them promoted to the Serie B and established them as a mid table team. But I had a bad season, and although the team wasn't going to go down I was going to lose a lot of players in the off season. So I jumped. I got picked up by League 2 Wrexham. I just missed out on the play offs and had a great start to the next season, only losing 1 league match in 16 games. I then got an offer from struggling Southhampton in League 1 so I moved on to them. It's the 2016/17 and I'm hoping I can rebuild in the January transfer window and pull the club out of the relegation zone. Sucks about Owen in your game brod. I'd be tempted to add myself and call him up anyway I wonder if the AI will call him up for sentimental reasons? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEinchy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Sergey Krivets has made a flying start to his Newcastle career, with 4 assists in 6 appearances. Still no goal though. I love how versitle he is, being natural as an AMC and MC, and just as good as an AMR and MR and cutting insdie from the left as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockney Hammer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thats who i usually buy at the start of the game but this time was different but il end up buying him like i always do!! Just come from 1 down to win 2-1 away at burnley gabi scoring both goals and the winner in the 95th min! Get in!!!! Beye has been very impressive at right back only 4 points off Arsenal in 6th so im going to be chasing them. Blackburn the surprise package sitting 5th.

JEinchy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Sounds like things are going well for you. The officially best player in the world, Francesc Fabrgeas, just got Players' Player of the Year. This is the first time I've ever got Fabregas to play this well.

Cockney Hammer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yeah they are going much better then i expected very tight this season aswell if you lose you go down a couple of places if you win you go up a couple. Balotelli has gabi as his favoured personal and gabi has balotelli as his...very young side which i thought would be a problem but turns out its working well but have experience in the squad which i guess helps. Hes overrated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Doesn't really matter how young they are, so long if they're good enough. Now I have a dilemna. Tomas Rosicky has been plagued with injury all season and has only played nine times for me. In those 9 games, he played exceptionally well. Now, hindsight and past experience tells me that Rosicky is capable of keeping up the same form all season. But past experience also tells me that Nasri becomes one of the best in the world in a couple of seasons and on this current save, Arshavin has been my second best player (behind Fabregas). So, should I sell Rosicky or give him more chance in the first team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnyboy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yes Mario Ballotelli is a great player Is he a wonderkid in your game cockney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockney Hammer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yeah thats what i always say being a west ham fan thats what i been used too if your good enough your old enough! I would sell him mate, you say Barazite is coming through aswell and im sure you can buy a replacment for Rosicky, if your chasing for cups the last thing you need is injuries. Selling Heskey for 3.9mil to Newcastle which im chuffed about was rubbish for me. Yeah he is a wonderkid mate scores goals and sets up loads great player!

JEinchy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'll milk some extra cash off of him then, not that I actually plan on spending it on anything. I have Fran Merida who doesn't become that good, but becomes a decent player nonetheless and can fill in on the left side of midfield if need be. Vela can play very well there as well.

Cockney Hammer Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 John Fleck is a very good youngster and would be a good replacement for Rosicky and hes cheap even though you dont want to spend it fleck is worth a look is doing very well for me at the age of 17. Tempted to put a bid in for Montolivo looks a great player and i keep getting linked with him aswell. Yes Vela in my eyes turns out to be one of the best players on FM 09. Fantastic talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Montolivo would be an excellent signing. Never tried him myself but hear he's very good. He certainly looks very good. We'll see what develops in the summer. I'm very happy with my strike force at the moment and I could do without another left footed striker (Eduardo, van Persie and Vela are all left footed). Agree that he is an excellent prospect. Best 16 year old on the game at the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
