haha, I got him on a free transfer with Blackpool and he's an awesome keeper even in the Premier League.

yeah on my first game i got him with stoke on a free. just checked and it was only 4 million

at 22 and he's good enough to compete for french honours so definitely worth it.
 
Started a new save as unemployed. Got a job offer at droylsden(Blue Square Bet North) in December, and so I joined. They were 12th when I joined, 5th now in March. ;)
 
doing okay with lens now, not won much (2 coup de la ligue trophies, beaten french cup finalists) but finished 2nd last season, which would have been enogh points to win the league about half the seasons but Marseille broke the 100 point mark...

aim is to get closer to the title + win some stuff, make the CL knockouts for once. got a really young squad so don't even need to spend much money that often
 
Won 3 straight league games with the winning goal coming in stoppage time! :D

You got a bit lucky there :p

I suddenly remembered earlier today that I had actually played against Bolton in between the Liverpool and Arsenal game, in which I won 2-0 comfortably but take that out, it's pretty much three straight late winners. :lol
 
Lol, Rossi and young. How much did you sign them for?

IIRC, I bought Rossi and Young for ?17 million and ?18.25 million respectively. Purchased the former in my first season and the latter in the second season.
 
Really want to try and get back into FM. Haven't played that much recently and need some motivation. I'd love to do an online league with the free agents db but I have the feeling there wouldn't be enough people and it would take forever to begin with.

Will probably load up later, give it a graphical overhaul and see where I go from there.
 
Yeah, I just made myself a World League database with the updated transfers (Using Wally's db) with currently 3 levels of leagues, the World Premier League (40 teams), World League First Division (2 sub leagues, 40 teams each) and World League Second Division (4 sub leagues, 20 teams each), with teams playing each other once in the top 2 levels and twice in the Second Division so they will play 38/39 matches. 8 teams relegate from Premier Division with 4 from both First Division A and B promoting (3 straight and promotion playoff for the final spot), then 12 teams relegate from that division (6 from each sub-division) and 3 teams from each of the Second Division sub-divisions promote (2 automatically promote, one from promotion playoff). And there will also be a couple of cups going on. Teams are based on reputation.

Just wondering if anyone was interested in me actually releasing the db. I'll just have to get permission from wally to do so though.
 
Well I'm testing it out with Blackpool. Forgot to set it so that international matches wouldn't clash with the schedule but oh well, I'll fix that if I release it.

Won 4 of my 5 opening matches after signing Ljungberg, Benni McCarthy and Michael Woods on free transfers. Didn't have a transfer budget though for some reason which was annoying as I wanted to sign Goodwillie. Surprisingly in those 5 matches, I already have 7 different scorers and the only players that have scored more than one (McCarthy and Taylor-Fletcher) have scored penalty, so Taylor-Fletcher has 3 goals, McCarthy 2 and Grandin, Sylvestre, Campbell (only made one start though as he's been injured), Kevin Phillips and Ormerod have scored one each.

I'd love a go when I finally get bored with my current save... (In 2031 at the moment)

haha, ok. I'll look on maybe getting a release then over the next week. Still testing for other bugs. May as well note what I need to do here.

- Fix clashes with international matches
- Add Young Player of the Month/Year awards and Manager of the Month award (Have done others)
- Find a way to not start in June (Anyway to do this, I'm ending up starting in June and there is a heap of time, does transfer windows have any effect of this. I do have the transfer window start in the middle of August though :p
- Despite putting maximum squad size as 25, there is no squad registration at all. Will need to try and fix that.
 
Got promoted to the Blue Square Bet Premier, won in the playoffs.
