i dont know if i can be bothered going on that long
ive got r.smith whos now only 18 and has something like 45 goals and hes 7th or 8th in the overall list
anelka has 53 all in the first season, hes been on the bench all season and hasnt even come on as a sub and hes 3rd or 4th

r.smith will last me another 10 - 15 seasons and the way hes improving and my scoring rate, i think he might get a thousand before he retires

pique is 18, kwality playa
kaebi is the best rb and dm in the master league
sorin is doin great right now
asprilla (saw him on football focus and i liked him at newcastle) has played about 8 games and has 10 goals, kaka isnt improving enough but makes regular appearances
dyer still rocks, scores plenty and destroys defences
arjan robben (edit but i made him average so i have to train him) is similar to dyer but not as good yet but has better shooting also scores a lot
alnenda is shit but scores plenty as a sub

 

[Slash]

Sorin turns out to be class.. good choice there. I never noticed R.Smith at the start of my master league but I'm starting a new one and I'll be sure to try him out

 

[methical]

there are a lot of really good 17 year olds and 18 year olds that become class but smith is the oly one to have good pace.
martins doesnt get to be as good as smith does

 

[Slash]

When I'm looking for youngsters I try to spot ones with technique above 75 (for strikers) so I probably overlook better players that way.

 

[L . F . C]

Well my Norwich 6* ML team is now in it's 2nd season:

GK - Green
DL - Vignal
CB - Mackay
CB - Kompany
RB - Vanden Borre
LM - H.Yakin
CM - McVeigh
CM - Hoekstra
RM - Dagaka(kabei?)
ST - Bently/Farfan
ST - Aston

 

[Slash]

Well, I know Dagaka and Farfan are top quality players... esp farfan

 

[L . F . C]

well to be honest i got promoted and i had 40'000 to spend, I didn't want to sign ace players but i wanted to sign known but not great, like they do in real life......and overall with these players bunched together they make a great team, but a mistake was selling dyer back to newcastle

 

[methical]

i just finished mysecond season with los santos
won every single game in the season and beat arsenal 5 - 0 in cl final (very flattering coz they were the better team)
r.smith is getting good but hes still got a bit to go
asprilla is ok but out of form, as is dyer and kaka
dyer has started going down now and i might need someone new
never scored as much as i thought i would but my team is only young and not completely world class yet, only 97 goals in the league
r.smith now has 70 goals and is second overal wich is pretty good, just started the negotiation period and i dont know who to get

i have to get rid of a few
anelka
e.empanza (played awful)
alnenda (he scores but he is still shit)
ferron (contract up)
narimorf (when he plays i concede and im sick of him)

so i need a cb and a cf (boa morte is a backup and hasnt played once)

 

[Slash]

What about Farfan.. do you not have him?

 

[methical]

no
i dont have any space and ill never use him coz smith asprilla and kaka are all i need i think
farfan will not develop if i dont use him so theres no point getting him
i'll let him train with psv so maybe someone can challenge me

 

[Slash]

for cb you could try Van Hintum, but he may only be a sb.. not sure.. He turned out pretty good for me after a while

 

[methical]

so i finaished my negotiation period and i didnt sign to many players and i still have over 100000 points after paying salaries

traded anelka for kezman(as a backup)
hasselbaink (free, dont know if i'll ever use him)
anderson (as a backup cb)
chivu, my only major signing

got rid of e.empenza, anelka, narimorf, ferron (out of contract)
waiting to get maldini probably next season

so i now have
cech
bucek (204 cm, ok stats but doesnt play to well 32 now)

pique (getting to be class now)
huth (im not sure wether to use him as a cb or dm)
chivu (same as huth)
anderson (backup)
kaebi (rb or dm ?)
sorin
julian gray
de la cruz
parry (rb not his real name)


dyer (started going down so i dont know wether or not to sell him, matbe the transfer window)
arjan robben (not the real 1 but hes coming on great now and hes as good as dyer now so its ok to sell dyer)
cardozo (getting really good now)
lee soo chun (pretty good replacement on the right)
boa morte (covour on the left but yet to play a game after a whole season)
nakata (never played but u never know when he might come in handy)

smith (end of next season he wil be world class top scorer overall with 86, 3 ahead of henry and still only 19)
asprilla (now 18 and looking very promising and when he develops he will be great)
kaka (makes regular appearances as a sub and replaces dyer when he needs a rest but not improving as much as i would like)
kezman (good but only a backup)
hasselbaink (not long left but with his shooting i might have to use him at some stage)

that is my squad
not the greatest team ever but they are the trebble winners and they are getting better, will start 2006 this week

Yer i agree with slash sorin turns out to be really class. I'll just tell you a bit about what is happing in my ml am still with liverpool 2008 am top of the league got beat last year by real madrid 3-1 in the final of it. Am currently top of the league i was scouting for a right midfield player then i came over c ronaldo the 1 for man u i got him for somethin like 11,000 and 1,000 salary. And you no what he is absolutly shite i hate him next transfer window he is out belive me. am now not too sure who to get so people any suggestions mid right i need thanks.

 

[methical]

when i had ronaldo a while ago he was pretty good, never had him in 2008 though
r.smith can play on the right (i mention him a lot but he really is class)
maybe cruyff coz he gets better than henry he just has less power, maybe good ol swp but i havnt tried him before, figo or beckham, probably old now though, pirlo, van der meyde, snejder, diesler but he has shite fitness (2), dejan stankovic, seedorf (i think his stats may be shite by 2008),cameronese, kaebi(dagaka)plays on the right and he is great, milner, joaquin (i think hes peaked by now) lee chun soo is alright,nedved, ewerthon(i think he plays smf), odonkor(sp?) is pretty good, cardozo(maybe better as an omf though) so there is quite alot to choose from

new post for my new league
started in division 2 of a dream league with 5000 points as fc den bosch(shittest team available FACT!) in division 1 there is
arsenal, man u, chelsea, liverpool, real madrid, barcelona, ac milan, inter, juve, psv, bayern munich, dinamo kyev, lyon, monaco, celtic(surprisingly hard to beat sometimes), porto

and in my sivision
rangers, boca, river, brugges, panathinaikos, olimpiacos, cant remember the last team either galatasaray or sporting or sparta pague
and my shite taem den bosch

so far i beat boca 4 - 1 at home
won 1 - 0 at brugges
won 3 - 0 at river (very good result)
drew 1 - 1 at hom to panathinaikos (dony know how it ended 1 - 1)
beat river 3 - 1 at home in the cup
so far
no players bought or anything and im not sure if i will so i can see how good i am, also i may have put myself in the wrong league but i wont find out until i get promoted, which will be the first season
i score some really good goals with people with really shit shooting, im not 100% sure what my best team is and i play so good (maybe because im not so greedy coz i know these players arent that good) so my passing is pretty good even though most of their passing is in the mid 60's and a couple in the 50's

 

[methical]

played a few more games
bet olimpiacos 2 - 0 away
cup second leg, drew 1 - 1 at river (won 4 - 2 on agg)
beat cruzeiro 1 - 0
im now in the negotiation period and i might have to bye some people but i dont have anyone expensive to trade
my most expensive player is worth 480 points i only have about 3 players worth more than 400

i couldnt even get pique when i tried to trade for a defender worth 350 points, i only have 10'000 points right now
i am looking at the korean players coz they are cheap and alot better that what i've got

 

[Slash]

Try Kim do Heon (spelling?)

 

[methical]

i was aswell
i was also looking at lee sun choo(sp) chun soo lee (sp, and seriosly)
and a couple more to

[methical]

i just done the transfers and sighned 11 players, not bad players at that
calero, colombian keeper
song, korean can play all over
a young cb and lb (forgot their names)
