2nd season halfway going, begun with ML original players replacing Doncaste so many of players are Doncaster players bought as free transfers.
I'm currently sitting as 2nd in table (a bit too easy imo). Liverpool being number one, and I've only lost twice season.
Dropped out of FA cup by chelsea..again like last season, gonna get them next year
Goal is to qualify for europa league, but looks like I'm gonna make it to Champions league.
with a huge luck Jeffren dropped to unsigned from Barca, so I snapped him at the end of last season. Otherwise I've mostly transfered only crappy players and players who were transfer listed. (My team ranking is very low).
GKs: G.Woods, Pouplin (bought halfway), Ivarov.
Could do some improvement here, Woods didn't approve my new deal to him so I bought and considered Pouplin to be better than Woods, but he's been inconsistent now.
DEF: Szalai, Palmieri, Schmidt, D.Jensen (from copenhagen), Jiranek (Birmingham drop out).
I could really do with a better left back as Jensen's utter crap. Also I could sell Palmieri / Schmidt for profits so should scout a replacement CB as well.
MID: Oscar, Camacho, Pelaez, Mason, Jeffren, Stambouli
My goal half-season was to get a good DMF, as I sold Jaric and Stambouli is doing it for now.. even being crap, he has a good defence & balance rating so he stops the attacks.
ATT: Sharp, Fairhurst, Nuhiu, Okotie, Jeffren.
Once again strikers are easiest to come by, so I raided free transfers in the end of last season and got Sharp, Okotie and Nuhiu.
Not really known guys, but especially Sharp has a good shot technique which is a great to have for a striker, he's gonna be my Raul
I mostly play 4-2-2-2

Goal for season is to make as much $$$$ as possible to improve team trainers etc for next season. Right now I got already the chinese dude Xiang ying hai etc. but my other trainers could do with some improvement.
Unfortunately i rarely concede... Its a shame and one of my main gripes with the game... The opposition as much as they play and pass a lot... they very rarely shoot and very very rarely score... Something i hope they change for pes 2012... I hope the make the opposition more unforgiving and actually make their shots go on target more and score more... It would make it interesting.
Well said man, well said. Exactly how I feel! I really WANT to concede and be punished if the opponent outplays me. Sadly that isn't the case AI is very bad on finishing it's chances. So I rarely concede at all neither. I wouldn't even mind more scripting when it comes to AI opponent shooting. As it seems to me that AI just shoots from awful positions as being so stupid, they could script so that AI could shoot more easily in varying positions, if they can't code an AI who could actually go to good shooting positions.
Simply put to me it seems often that AI shoots like a PES2011 noob, shooting from bad body positions etc.
