[luton champion]

Well thats a great team,thats hard to improve. What position are you looking for, for a new player..?
BUy
Guerin RM age 18
Kompany CM
Cavenaghi CF
Robinho CF
Tevez CF
Joaquin RM
You probably know all these players already, but just in case you dont there they are.

GUARIN NOT GUERIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[7RONALDO7]

A guy called Padoin is a great buy, he plays anywhere in midfield, very young and scores alot of important goals........go and BUY!

 

[Rangers_Fureva]

If you are a wee shitty club like aberdeen or somebody sign Mutiu on a free, scores quite alot of goals.

 

[uA - 1905]

My Coventry squad (promoted)

Chris Pennock

Andrew Whing
Marcus Hall
Victor Djumpah
Patrick Collins

Igor Biscan
Michael Doyle
Alex
Martin Retov

John Carew
G McSheffrey (G Barrett)

I'm Barca, won the league twice and am 7 points clear already in the third season, this is my strongest XI, but I do chop and change regularly, so none of the players are unhappy, tired, or unfit.

------------------Frey------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
---Belletti---Puyol---Ferdinand---Dede---
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
---Wright---Gerrard----Xavi----Sneijder--
---Phillips-------------------------------
----------------------------------------
------------------Deco-----------------
----------------------------------------
-----------------Pizarro-----------------
----------------------------------------

Strongest bench I'd say is: Valdes, van Bronckhorst, Marquez, De Rossi, Bresciano, van der Vaart, Gilardino. I also have in my squad a load of youngsters- Guarin, Adu, Johnson, Phelan, Fernandez, Peltier and Jones. That's the 25 who I have registered.

 

[7RONALDO7]

Just had 4 hard games to play in a row.......Arsenal away in the premiership, Arsenal Home in the CL semi-final 1st leg, Liverpool away in the premiership and Arsenal away in the CL semi-final 2nd leg.

I won them all:

1st game) Beat them 4-0 with tevez getting a hat-trick and RVN with 1.

2nd game) Beat them 6-0 with tevez with another hat-trick, Rooney with 2 and Mokoena with 1.

3rd game) Beat them 3-2 with Cana, Smith and Mokoena getting 1 each and Gerrard with 2 for them.

4th game) Beat them 3-0 with RVN with a hat-trick.

All in all it was a great 4 games lol.

No i have Inter Milan in the final of the CL.

Where's Ronaldinho, Eto'o?? Take it you sold them, how much???

 

[sukhy2004]

The semi final of the Champions League took the piss man....I drew 1-1 with Milan at the San Siro, then in the second leg they dominated proper & they had 2 goals disallowed. & I went through on away goals.

I just won the Champions League (2-1 against Bayern Munich in the final....Scholes & Miller scored.....yeh Miller, sick goal from outside the box.....I signed McClaren & Benitez, seeing as they got sacked by their teams.....Anyways I asked them two & Quieroz who i should use in the final & they said use Miller instead of Cristiano Ronaldo & it worked)

I won the League against Chelsea, Smith scored in the last minute & Arsenal lost to Villa so I won the League. I finished undefeated & I finished with 100 points.

& I also won the FA Cup, beat Fulham 2-0 in the final, Luque & Saha scored.

I've bought Baptista for £17 million & I've put in bids for Mista & Hildebrand

I beat Arsenal 5-2 in the Community Shield

[uA - 1905]

They sure worth a lot now beenie man.

 

[Yossi]

Where's Ronaldinho, Eto'o?? Take it you sold them, how much???

I got shot of Ronaldinho (£36m to Chelsea) and Eto'o (£25m to Betis) because I had equal replacements (Deco and Gilardino) who had European passports (only allowed 3 non-EU players).

From that team, I have now got rid of Bresciano and Gilardino, and got in Kaka and Torres.

 

[Singh]

Some young players i would suggest to get are-:

Mokonea (orlando pirates)
Bierofka (Bayer Leverkusen)
Kompany (Anderlecht)
Nasri (Marseille)- has anyone bought him?
Carlos tevez (corinthians)
Downing (Boro)
Guarin ( Colombian international)
Kieran Richardson( Man utd)
Cavenaghi
Vicente ( Valencia)

Btw Hildebrand is poor on the game Sukhy2004, get heaton instead.

 

[h108grd]

Don't know if any of you guys want to find out about a winger. Name is R.F.Taddei-uncapped Brazilian in my game, but average rating is high and great cross he can do, was at Siena where I am managing now, managed to stay in Serie A for the first 2 seasons to keep the board and fans happy, and then he wanted to go to a bigger team, so sold him to Roma for 17m+A.Aquilani.
And I grabbed C.Lopez on a free, due to the low budget - has to get players in on frees. But he has already scored 5 goals in 3 games for me. Also grabbed A.Charisteas on a free not bad huh?!~
I also suggest to look at a goalie called DeSanctis from Udinese. Grabbed him on a free after the first season, played him for the 2nd, then been chased by some other top european clubs, shame there was a min release clause in his contract to had to sell him. This guy has great reflexes and made some fantastic saves for me! worth a look.

Well i would think it was a smart move 2 get rid of Ronaldinho for kaka as Ronnie isn't that good in FM. Tough decision on weather 2 keep eto'o or get Torres as they both score alot. Nonetheless you still have a very good team mate.

[sukhy2004]

I just won the World Cup with England, I beat Portugal in the final 4-1, Carlton Cole with all 4. & the most fucked up thing about it was that I didn't have a keeper for the tournament. I chose 2, James & Robinson, but only James was in the squad, I tried to recall Robinson, but it said he cannot be added. anyway James got injured for the whole tournament & I had to swap between Beattie & Campbell in goal....trust me on this I'm not lying.

 

[chris248]

just restarted my wigan game as i posted earlier, i have added carew, kuyt, heitinga, sneijder, petrov and ben arfa to my squad now and managed to get in the champions league finishing 3rd in the league. i have been approached to manage both aston villa and manchester united but decided against it to and try to win the league with wigan.

The first season ive started since doing a few of the summer transfers.
The leagues tight with only 1 point in it, but theres another half of a season to do yet so anything could happen.We both spent near enough 90 million in the summer,but the board was really pleased with my fincial status so they gave me 92 million to spend in january, so in came adriano and jenas.
