Going fairly well with Farsley in the FM09 clan game. Just started 2012/13 season on the save, been at Bradford and got sacked. We're decent, got a ton of injuries atm, about 8-10 out atm. 6th in the league, just lost to 2nd. 10 games in.

You got the 9.0.3 patch, Nigel? If you have the original version then injuries were one of the big issues with it. I remember playing and having a similar amount of injuries with a small squad. Became impossible really.

Decided to release all players and staff from their squads so each squad will have to rebuild signing players on free transfers. Most of the top clubs got their old managers back and Tottenham were undefeated last year. I was managing Bolton and came 2nd only losing to Tottenham. I drew them in my home clash against them and lost to them in the FA Cup Final and the League Cup second round.


These are the players Tottenham signed

Scott Carson (GK)
Robert Enke (GK)
Chris Kirkland (GK)
Nicola Legrottaglie (SW, D C)
Ricardo Carvalho (D C)
Maicon (D/WB L)
Joan Capdevila (D/WB L) I tried to sign him but he chose to go to Tottenham
Seydou Keita (DM, M LC)
Gonzalo Colsa
Michael Essien
David Bentley
Ronaldinho
Wayne Rooney


I signed these players

Andrey Arshavin
Vedran Corluka
Roman Pavlyuchenko
Shaun Wright-Phillips
Alexandr Anyukov
Yuri Zhirkhov (Sold him to Liverpool though at the start of the second season)
Adrian Mutu
Sebastian Larsson
Andreas Johansson
Tim Howard
Eric Abidal
Olof Mellberg
Ricardo
Gerard Pique
Anders Svensson
Fredrik Ljungberg
Filippo Inzaghi
Henrik Larsson

So you see, my team is made up mostly of Swedish and Russian players.

Hedger mate, are you participating in the FM Challenge? CSKA vs Spartak?

 

[hedger_14]

No. Why. Did you want me to.

 

[blake]

Yeah, we need everyone we can get. You still have a few weeks to finish it.. I just finished one season playing with CSKA Moscow.

Next month we will be doing a different continental theme.. we have challenges lined up for every continent. I'm thinking we might go North America or South America next month.

 

[treva]

Yeh give it a go if you can hedger. Not played much of it lately but over this next week I'll be trying to plough through.

 

[hedger_14]

I'll do it next month then. I'm doing the World Cup at the moment.

I could cop that ████, but eh. Much improvement from '08 to warrant purchase other then updated database?

It's not out, It's a pre order, but it is most definaetly worth it!

Definitely. The new 3D graphics is good, and although the game is slow (At least I find 09 very slow) the features are so much improved.

So yes, I would say definitely get 2010 because I expect it to be much better than 09 and hopefully a lot quicker.

 

[treva]

So happy right now. It's taken me 6 matches but I finally have my first win with Wolves in the Premier League. Lost our first 5 games scoring just 2 goals and conceding 19 but thankfully we just crushed Boro at home 5-2. Got a tough game with Arsenal but hopefully this will kick start our season!
