Cheers FB. How is your game going? Would like to see some other progress with CSKA.. want to compare myself with other users. I think I scored pretty well.. but there's always room for improvement.

P.S. Drew 1-1 with Real Madrid.

I'm only 6 games into the competition - everyone else has played 7 though. I'm currently in 4th place but only 3 points off the lead. Haven't lost yet (4 wins 2 draws).

I think I needa play on only key highlights shown to catch up. Probably won't have time to play tonight though.

I play the whole season on key highlights.. I realise more people that like to get into the 'manager' feeling watch more of the match but I am lazy and just use player ratings to give me an idea how everyone is going.

Just played my first game with CSKA. We came into it having won 2 games fairly comfortably against poor teams. I was confident we could get at least a point, but I knew it would always be tough to break down a team who has just conceded 5 goals in 11 games.

As you can see it ended up 0-0 and they were by far the better team. Despite that, and despite the fact we had no shots on target, we actually hit the bar from a corner and in the final minute of added time at the end of the game we hit the post from a free kick.

Could've been all 3 points but I'll settle for a draw and my first (Maybe my only) points of the challenge. Still a long way to go but as you can see from the table I have a lot of work to do. Too many draws costing us dearly!

Just for all knowledge, I've given up with this challenge after getting to fustrated with it.

 

[treva]

Loser. Was it because of the home grown player rule?

You better take part in next month's challenge, you may enjoy it more, we have some great ideas.

 

[Ollie_H]

yeah it was, I spent half an hour going through all like 4 of my squads and not one person i selected was an HG player. I will participate in the other one's though.

 

[blake]

Holdenator you silly bumbler.. all of your youth players are homegrown.

Just sub them off in the 1st minute - worked for me.

 

[mattfb]

In my FM 08 game, they only need to be on the bench.

Can I just ak how you got the attached pics as thumbnails? Whenever I attach something it always comes up in that annoying form that doesn't show you anything.

Attach the images in .jpg format, as .png gets shown in that annoying form.

the ones I tried, apparently weren't home grown and the rest weren't eligble to play.

 

[TheGreemSim]

Great Idea! Does it matter what game we play it on?

 

[Sureshot]

Football Manager might be a start
