Congratulations PEM!
Now I'm Spain manager after my application for France was rejected.
The Spain squad was immense!

Sweey, nice one man. Are you playing with two managers on the same game? I can't even do that, the temptation would be too much for me to lend my lower team a few un-needed gems from Milan. :blush:

Cheers. I am indeed playing with two managers. I've tried sending crap Milan players to Amkar and they point blank refuse to go. To be fair, half the players in the Russian league don't want to go either. I've spent all season with Drincic wanting out even though he's been relatively poor. The same goes for Dujmovic who suddenly started playing well and then, weeks from the end of the season, was finally willing to negotiate a new deal.

Volkov has a value of £3.1m so I've stuck a valuation of £7.5m on his head......Spartak Moscow remain interested :no:

Oh and the Czech Republic :huh: - without Milan Baros my attack is nothing. Without Tomas Rosicky, my midfield is mediocre. Took over with six qualifiers played, all wins, and won three of the four I was in charge of (including 4-2 at home to Romania), losing 2-1 away to Denmark who finished second in the group. I didn't have Baros for an away qualifier against San Marino and struggled for a while. Brazil also thumped me 4-0 in a friendly as Adriano (he who plays for the same in-game version of me as he does at Milan) hitting a hat-trick in the first half.

In my Milan/Amkar game (Milan+Czech Republic/Amkar) I've just won the Russian Premier Division :w00t

Can't quite believe it. Lost my first two league games of the season, lost two key players in the mid-season transfer window (Anton Sosnin moving to Ajax and Ildar Ahmetzyanov to KamAZ - who finished the season 13th). Sergey Volkov was outstanding for me and I went into the final round of games level on points with Spartak Moscow who had won one more game than I had meaning if we finished level they'd win the title. As it was, having lost their penultimate match 3-2 at home to CSKA Moscow on the same day Lokomotiv Moscow dumped me out of the Russian Cup after extra-time, Spartak went ahead only to lose 4-1 at Zenit St Petersburg on the final day while I had two men sent off and somehow held on for a 1-1 draw at lowly Tom.

Only when I won 3-1 at Spartak toward the end of the first round of games did I think "ooh maybe I could get a UEFA Cup spot here" and when I beat them 3-1 at home to move within three points of them with four or five games left, I still didn't think I had a hope considering I still had to play CSKA who were one point behind me at that point.

No doubt I was helped by Juventus purchasing Welliton from Spartak for £16m during the mid-season window when he already had 22 league goals.

:dancer:
He is unreal. My record signing; I changed my whole system to accomodate him and it was worth it. I will upload a screenie in a minute of his record for me.

EDIT:



I retrained him as a striker, but all of those goals were from midfield. Most strikers don't have goalscoring records like that.

And whilst I was waiting for the image to upload, he just scored the opener, against the Neapolitans of all people :happy:

Nice!

Having won the title (and because Ajax haven't given him a game yet) I'm hoping to coax him back to the club. The same goes for Ahmetzyanov who has played only once for KamAZ although the latter isn't worth the £2.5m he's valued at.

I played Sosnin in the more playmakerish of two central midfield roles in the formation I use and in 21 games he scored seven goals with one assist at an average of 7.38. I'd signed him for £600k from Zenit where he'd made 11 appearances in two seasons. He should've stayed with me :no:

By the way, in my game Lecce have finished 11th and 18th in the first two full seasons and are currently 10th after 16 games of the third season so you're doing well with them by being in Serie A.

Just came 2nd again in my second season with Man City, going through Milan :)smug:) and Spurs in the final to win the Uefa Cup. Eddie Johnson is worth 18m now, not bad considering I bought him for 2.5m at the start.

Now that's entertainment! I get the impression I shouldn't have tried to get something from the game at 6-4.

That actually sums up my reign as Lecce manager, with goals aplenty at either end.

I've started a game with Barca only recently after realising my addiction to the FM series again.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good target man? Looking for the Luca Toni of FM 2007. Eto'o and Henry have been gods in my first season with 77 goals between them after April 2008, but I'd like to be able to have a striker who is more lethal in the air than those 2.

I currently have £26 mill in my transfer kitty after the board made more funds available, and im ontrack to romp to the La Liga and will make the semis atleast in the Champs league, so i should have a nice transfer budget next year.

Looking to buy a new keeper and a striker, any suggestions?

Nikola Zigic is a great targetman.
He has great jumping, great heading and great height.

Thanks, i'll check Zigic out.

Forgot to add, someone who can play well as a lone striker too.

I've had some luck against the likes of Real Madrid (put 4 past them in the League) stacking the midfield playing a counter attacking 4 - 5 -1 with Messi and Ronaldinho making runs from deep to support Henry.

Someone who would fit that mold too ideally. Thanks

Bianchi is a monster in my games, real class. Not sure how he'll fair in a Barca side - but teams of that calibre are always sniffing around for him so I'd definately recommend a punt there.

I've never experienced Bianchi before but I think a good dribbler and finisher can do well.

You're on what season?
You can get Ignashevich for free if you're on the first season.
 

Wan

PESGaming legend in opposite world
Yeah.
He's first option for who doesn't have decent cb as he's free and good.
 

Wan

I don't know that he'll never go to Stoke.
I just know that he's decent.

(In Game) Milan's scouts are world-class, well most of them. I find them to be much better than those of Man Utd.
