    There are some players who are willing to sign pay-as-you-play deals, and you might want to try offering such deals to your current players as well to free up some wage budget. Lozano-Calderon is a good winger, and there's a young centre-back I remember called Simon Cox. You might also want to look into getting some players on loan. I'd suggest Bobby Reid and James Baxendale.

    As expected, my team of teens didn't do particularly well in their first Prem season...was around the relegation zone for much of the year and finished 16th, four points clear of the drop. Only real highlight was a young regen striker that I poached from Leeds who set the EPL record for youngest goalscorer.

    Things are starting to look better a couple months into the second year; paid a tonne to get Steven Caulker to shore up my defense, and smoked Tottenham 6-0 at WHL, with Erick Torres scoring five, coincidentally the same number as he had all of the previous year.

    I picked up a great targetman - Conally Edozien, a poacher - Fergus Bell and a keeper - James Gilpin in my first season as Havant & Waterlooville. I also signed Alan Nielsen (ex Spurs) as a scout and he had some quality Danish players on his short list eg Rene Carlsen (left back & Morten Christiasen (playmaker). All signed on non contracts.

    Try and get rid of all the players you don't want who are on part time contracts. Even if you have to mutually terminate them.

    I won the league with 100 points but didn't get Manager of the Year as every manager gets one vote and I pretty much responded with "I've never heard of him" when they tried to play mind games so that's probably why.

    My first signing of the next season was Jake Sinclair on a free! But he then did his cruciate ligament in the first friendly and is out for 6 months!

    Just going to play Fm 12 now, not playing it much today, probably an hour or so, will not play much through the week as I will have the weekend and then all next week as school holiday, be sorting out all my college stuff, anyone else same age applying for college.



    In regards to posts above, I done well with Dartford in Blue Square south, I got Stefan Payne from Gillingham, think he was on loan, he got 46 goals in one season, one short of the record in real life ever in that league 47 by Adam Birchall for Dover last season.
    If you can get him he will win the league for you. Gilpin was good for me, Ruiz free agent he is good.
    Craig Stone from Ebbsfleet United if you can get him cheap.


    Got Arsenal now, Lets hope my main signing does well, this season will be a struggle as I have lost many players and have not been able to replace them with the best players.

    So happy first game of the season and just won it, Arsenal 0-1.

    2012-02-07_00001.jpg

    Charlie Ward, the ex Arsenal kid, now nearly 19, 4 goals against Arsenal in the 3 times I have played them. So happy to keep a clean sheet, didn't keep many last season, I would have been happy with a nil nil draw in this game.

    Still think I may struggle, but what a good start, last season it took me 4 games to get a goal let alone a win.

    Villas-Boas has the best managerial attributes in the game, yet he fails in every job he has. <laugh>

    Yeah been manager of England aswell for about 6 months, but not now, that picture was one taken from a while ago before I quit the one as England manager, now I might become England manager at the same time as Gillingham on that one.


    Still don't see how that makes me a cheat, I only done it that way as I did not know that you could do it any other way.

    Got my Euro qualifier, I think I may lose as the team I have submitted is not that good.
    I have Stuttgart/
    Away leg, I am shocked to ****, I thought I would lose to such a good team, did not know much about the German league though as I have never had the league activated in the game, only have the English, French and Spanish leagues open, so happy though, the Stuttgart team was good, but Adam Johnson showed that he is going to be great for me.
