JEinchy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I could've sworn you can manage in Cyprus. If not that, then maybe a random South American country? Chile, Paraguay, Peru? Also is anyone else watching Argentina vs Brazil? I think Brazil are going to run riot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digs_473 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 There's a pretty good chance if you can beat Panama and get a respectable defeat against Mexico. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 If you get a big win against Panama then I think you have a chance. Maybe Mexico will knock a couple past Costa Rica and you might be able to snathc a draw at the Azteca. Finally finished the season. Finished 4th which puts us into the third qualifying round of the Europa League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 We drew with Panama somehow, their goal was offside we had 2 disallowed for offside. Now we have to beat Mexico and hope Panama can draw or beat Costa Rica. Oh well it was only something to do while footy was on, bit off topic but Argentina are crap. Well done on getting Europa League qualifying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Just kicked off a season with Grimsby, first time playing in ages, usualy just do databases but now FM10 has been announced with so many good features for that I decided to play some unedited databases, trying something new!

nine_iron Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Loaned my pants off to get some balance in the quality of the side and signed a canadian goalie, Giacomi who did really well in trials for me. 1-0 up at halftime to Luton in my first game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Mexico 2 Jamaica 1 But then shock horror. Panama 4 Costa Rica 2. We go through even though we only won two and lost three. Bring on the next phase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Well won the first game, but only 1-0, could have been 4 but we just couldnt get them in or finish well. Next up league cup and PNE Acidburn, old friend well done!! I once did something like that with Canada, left my assman to manage the last game as we had to swing a huge goal diff and it was a no hoper. He won the game 7-1 and the other game went in our favour and we qualified for the world cup. I didnt play it though, quit the game and almost gave up playing it! I thought I was terrible at it, thankfully I found my place in database editing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Cheers guys. There the next group top 3 go through to the 2010 World Cup, 4th place into a playoff although I am not sure who against and obviously bottom two are out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 "The minimum expectation is that the team compete alongside the top teams in the Premier Division." Which otherwise translates into a Championship group finish, which is a top 5 finish which is a Europa League spot. To do this, I have £300K, which is a hell of a lot better than what they first gave me. I believe the playoff is against the team in the South American qualification group who fnishes in the same position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Is it your second season? Do you have all players from Brazil or the Italian leagues loaded? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Damn team talks, they played their socks off, lost 2-1 against a championship side and when I said they did ok they all feel "is not worthy of the comment" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'm in the second season and have the Brazil, Argentina (who suck), Portugal, France, England, Scotland, Italy and Spain all loaded so plenty to chose from. Need a defensive midfielder, a new number one goalkeeper, possibly a new back up keeper, a target man like striker and a left winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Buy Irineu if you can brilliant player. Who does Ross Wallace play for on your game sometimes he goes for free after the 1st season but that might be patch 9.2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 This could get interesting.. Oh, and guess who my next match is against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Wallace plays for Preston but looks excellent. I think he's out of my price range though, because his value is £1.8M and I doubt I can get him for cheaper than £300K. Irineu is on loan by the looks of things, but will scout him anyway and see what price I can get him for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Irineu's loan usually ends at the end of the 1st season. What is his value? He can usually be picked up for no more than 100k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 He's worth £110K. The Italian season just ended, so he should be back at his club soon. I'm not sure if I should get him, because I need to strengthen in so many areas on a low budget. Also I'm not sure how many loans I can get that would be good enough. Going to check who's out of contract now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hershie Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I just lost 2-1 at home to Man Utd in the League Cup thanks to a Kolo Toure red card. :o I also lost to them in the Community Shield, so now it's my chance to make amends. Away in the Premier League... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEinchy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Okay, Ross Wallace will cost me £2.5M and Irineu is unlikely to recieve a work permit so they're both out. I'm about to sign 5 scouts to adds to my one so hopefully I'll get some good players recommended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I only said Wallace as on the older patches Sunderland used to release him. Any decent players been released from prem teams? Try Sunderland Reserves they have a few decent loan signings, Roy O'Donovan on the wings or upfront should be able to hack it in the SPL. Wish I could be more help lol.

JEinchy Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Well my search filter isn't bringing up anyone decent. Any really good loans are going to be pricey e.g I need to spend £1.3M to loan Mark Randall for a whole season. So that's out. Looks like I'll be scouting a fair bit.

Digs_473 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Table how it stands at the mo, my next game is away at Arsenal... this could be a biggie.

nine_iron Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Phew, won the game 4-0, then my PC crashed, had just saved the game so all is well. We could have got 8 or so but my strikers went cold after the second sending off, I guess the other team just shut up shop with 9 men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played 7 and has done really well in those games, but has hasn't got a single assist to his name yet. Arshavin has 3 already! Going to have to play about with some settings me thinks.
