[Mr Hough 10.3 Tactics]

Morning all, started a new game with my beloved Wigan Athletic with the squad updated to current summer transfers.

Sold some dead wood such as De Ridder, Gomez, Kapo, Scharner, Bramble and replace them with Eddie Nolan (Preston), Carlos Salcido (PSV), Mirel Radoi (Al-Hilal) & Humberto Suazo (Monterry), Lukman Haruna (AS Monaco FC)

I'm using the Mr.Hough and JP Woody Final Version tactic, only clocked on halfway through the season to take some screenshots of my season (duhhhhhhhhhhh)

Here's my squad for the season.

Heading into the december and the creative Rodallega has got 12 goals and several assists which is something i haven't been able to manage to do so thumbs up on the goal scoring and creating methods used.

Some how i managed to get a major coup and sign Riquelme which is really going to add to the central midfield pairing next season.

17 Games into the season, position speaks for itself, conceeded some really scrappy goals against the likes of Hull, Stoke, West Ham & Portsmouth but this was my fault due to severly tired defenders and a lack of rotation.

Fantastic 1-0 against chelsea, dispite there poor position Chelsea are still a very hard team to beat, as you can see i conceeded ALOT of goals since the last screenshot and yet again only myself to blame, not enough rotation within the defence and not enough defensive back up.

Another amazing 1-0 victory this time over Arsenal!

6th round FA cup tie against United and what a way to play away from home, conceeded a goal and pegged them back straight away

Reply against United in the FA cup and well the result speaks for itself to be honest!

Season got quite dull after that, some surprising defeats to hull, stoke, tottenham(leading 3-0) and mainly scrappy victories.

End of season stats show Sauzo my leading goal scorer with 27 goals 41 appearances, Ben Watson quite high in the assist rankings and dirty Diame with 2 reds

3rd in the goal rankings with a team like Wigan is just.... speechless, if Wigan can score goals with half decent strikers then any team can!

End of season appearances, goals, assists, av rating, really impressed with my front 3 of Suazo, Boselli & Rodallega, Moses was brilliant as a sub and scored quite alot of goals coming off the bench.

Ben Watson was the pick of the midfielders 18 assists, honestly dont know how i can drop him for Riquelme with figures like that.

End of season table, media prediction was 11th but comfortably finished within the top 10, had some real horror deafeats during the season which all contributed to the MASSIVE goals conceeded, 10 against united in 2 PL games, 5 against hull, 5 against stoke, 4 against tottenham the list can go on but all in all im impressed with the tactic, ive been trying since i first bought FM to build and succesfull tactic for my Wigan team and i've NEVER been able to get the best out the squad even with transfers so massive respect to Mr.Hough & JP Woody for creating a tactic which fits my team so perfectly in more then one way.

May I ask what the Skin is called please?

[Mr Hough 10.3 Tactics]

Well i got promoted with charlton from league 1 to the championship. My media prediction is 14th but i'm top of the league by 16 points and i've still got 2 games in hand. And i'm only in february!!!!

ron.e - I am sure your a Palace man, how could you manage Charlton (just a bit of fun) :-)

Did I see a post from Tylerbode that the Eagle final version would be available this bank holiday? Just checking, as a Palace man just feels right...

Stupid Question - On the tactics screen each player has a Green dot next to them, what does this mean?
