Alright, I got rid of the table from the main page then. Anything else that should be on the main page??
That should be about it CC :).
Got a few players up for sale. Even listening to offers for Culina. But have to be a hell of a good one though :P.

I would try my luck with Culina but i have no money at the moment.

I'm playing 4-2-3-1, it just works well for my team.
4-3-3 for Victory
4-3-3 wingers or normal?
Wingers

I'll leave that to Zz :P.
My formation will likely be a 5-3-2 formation. Have alot of defender so will be playing a defensive game until I get some more strikers or wingers :P.
the classic 4-4-2 diamond wish there was more formations. i want to play a 4-5-1 but the five being in a V
Can choose where your players run into. When It's 5, click on the wingers jumper and it's give you some dots. Click the dots where you want your players to run and you'll get the V shape (roughly).
okay thanks will do it next time i get the chance
Very rude of you benjy to bid on a free agent that I am trying to sign :P
Bidding war between you two? For who.......
Soz meant to post earlier that i'm perth.
Ah so you're the one who has been trying to get my striker? I will give him to you for £8m no less!
If I tell you HP you will join in the bid!
lol think so CF... can't afford him though.
Good cos he is all mine! :P
Nah. I don't like bidding over other people. I look for other players who go under the radar ;).
BOOMZ, I'll trade you Culina for my last offer to you :). Harnwell + That other guy (rated 83 you didn't want) and 5 mil 8).

For now though, Solid players 8).
free agents ;)
I'm only getting on 1 free agent :P.
Teams should start taking shape by the time Saturday rolls around 8).
Takes so long for an offer to get accepted :(
Yeah CC. I only made my first offer this morning but I know nothing has happened since haha.
Quote from: Capt Cunners on September 21, 2010, 11:19:21 AM

Usually about a day for it to be accepted by a non controlled team. 24 hours I've got it at.

Same. I free agent and one transfer signing. Then I might pad my depth with a couple more. I had 9.5 million although I expect that to be 3 or 4 by the time I'm done :P
I only had 7.2 million. Not alot to play with. Trying to sell off some players to raise some funds.

Thanks for that, should only be a few more hours for me then.
I started with 6.8 mil.
Will be as rich as the EPL teams by the end though ::) :P
I started with 6.3 mil. :o

The loan offer for Francesco MONTEROSSO of Adelaide United from Perth Glory has been accepted. The transfer has been completed
Whoever is the coach of Sydney FC, I will let you have Daniel Mullen on a loan

That's me. Let me go bid
Edit: Flower it! Get your chairman with the program uzz :P
Anybody willing to loan me a decent striker or midfielder?
I will loan you Costa Barnarouses or Mitch Nichols
edit: actually I wont loan you Nichols because my chairman wont let me put him on the loan list...
My first 4 bids on players have all been accepted and will be arriving at the club within 24 hours. They are:
Luiz Alberto (CB) - Free Agent
Mariano Herron (DM/CM) - Free Agent
But the 2 I am very pleased about are:
Daniel Sturridge (FWD/WING) - Chelsea
Suárez Jeffren (FWD/WING) - Barcelona
My attack is now very strong ;D
Nice ones CF 8).
My 6 are on their way as we speak 8).
All have a rating of 85 except for Herron who is 82. Herron and Alberto are just old cheap guys, but Sturridge and Jeffren are only 21 and 22 so should improve lots :)
I made 1 low key one. Celestine Babayaro. Criminal that he was a free agent. He'll only probably be a bench guy for me but still CRIMINAL
I have 2 who are coming in at 85 (Turnbull is 22 so very nice). The other is 86 but old :(.
3 very young guys at 17/18 who are just 75 rated are the other 3 8). But I like signing alot of these guys. Worked wonders in my other teams where one recently went up by 8 to 83 ;D. Might as well try my luck :P.
Lol BP ;D. Bench players are still good 8).
If I had any money left over I would sign Edgar Davids from Crystal Palace just because he is so awesome!!
Signed Holman and Patricio Perez
I know 8). His hair and those glasses were just 8).
I just got a few players... good ones too ;D but i need more cash now... Anyone want Josh Mitchell?
Just managed to get my deals for Ronaldo, Oar, Schwarzer and Neill accepted. Watch out for Heart this season boys!
How much money did you start with CC?
7.9 mill, It's not Cristiano Ronaldo it's The Fat Brazilian Ronaldo :P
Anyone want any of my players? I'll take offers for every1.
Yeah I know CC, just thought they would have cost more than that
Quote from: CrowsFan on September 21, 2010, 09:18:50 PM
Yeah I know CC, just thought they would have cost more than that
With every deal i added a player to bring the price down, that's the only way i could afford it.
I paid cash for all mine :P.
See my team in 2 months ;). Alot more stars will come 8).
Is there any way of getting money apart from selling people?
I think you get attendance money (not sure how much).
Check your financial page and see if you do.
Ok yeah just checked and this is how you get money:
Season Ticket Receipts
Gate Receipts
TV Revenue
Sponsor
Merchandise
Cash Injection
Transfer Money In
Prize Money
Other Income
I just canceled my transfers of the 2 old guys so that I could afford a much better and younger player whose rating should increase heaps!
Depends on which young guys. They change rating for certain leagues at certain intervals. Better to get young than old though. But they are usually more expensive.
I've started out old but will get younger 8).
My Players have arrived so my lineup looks like this:
----------------------------------------------Schwarzer ----------------------------------------------
Neill-------------------- Colosimo--------------------------------Beauchamp----------------Heffernen
---------------------------------------Skoko--------Thompson---------------------------------------
----------Worm-------------------------------Terra-------------------------------- Oar--------------
------------------------------------------------Ronaldo--------------------------------------------
Im looking to sell Colosimo if anyone is interested.
Nice Cunners
Everyone should post there lineup
Petkovic
Muscat Vargas Kemp
Kruse Perez Celeski Pondeljak
Hernandez Holman
Thompson
I'm such a evil genius. I signed Marco "El Diver" Materazzi :P
I saw that BP :P. He was shortlisted for me :P.
CC should be favourite with those big ins :o. Undefeated season :P. The Pressure is on 8).
Yeah CC has a strong line up
Holman to dominate this season 8)
Marco will now be referred to as "Holy Diver" :P
One Internetz to anyone who gets the reference
Turnbull inbetween the posts for me.
Still have 2 more signing to some in. More obscure but still alright 8). Both 21. 1 a much needed Left Back while the Other not only a Forward partner for Djite but also a winger 8).
BP has bid on 2 players I had on my watchlist :(. Mater and Lowry ;D.
I only have 700k so I might have to wait a while before I buy any fresh talent :(
I'll be pushing the bank pretty close for mine. Only have 5 mil left and probably using up 4 and a half :P.
I still have about 7 but I'll be using about 6 of that in the next day or so
Are there any decent young kids avaliable for 700k?
I'm getting 75 rated 18 year olds for 300k :D.
Cheap and alright back up. And you never know, they might actually increase by a bit ;).
Hmm, I have a feeling I will be bad at this, don't know much and not spending much time on it... ::)
Don't have to after your pre season signings.
Matches are Sunday morning and Thursday morning (maybe a cup somewhere in between). Just go on to change formations (tactics).
Actually I found another young guy. I'll be down to 500k :P
Can't believe BOOMZ bought M Diarra from real madrid! Paid 6 mil for him.
Yeah Bargain!

I'm nearly broke lol... He better be good for me...

He's a great bloke, i've met him so i want him in my team.

The most technical answer I could give you would be "A showerload" :P
I don't think I'll ever move Nicky. But if I did it'd be 4.5-5 Mill minimum

Can't see that happening, The world's best ever striker will be debuting for Heart that game (Ronaldo) so there is gonna be a massive turnout and he'll score a bag.
When your selecting your lineup, Which side is right back, would it be the left of screen or the right????
I think think it would be left of screen because if you make yourself keeper he would be right back but im just not sure.

I'd be more worried about running out of pies at the stadium if I were you CC. You better stock up to keep Ronaldo happy. My young team will run rings around you

I could of bought in a guy rated 91 if I wanted :o. Can get a few for only 7-8 million ;).
But will really hurt the rest of my team. Went for a GK, LB/CB and Fwd/Winger to help around the grounds. The Forward/Winger is from Barcelona 8).

Pretty sure it's left of the screen. That's what I believe but not 100% sure. Same logic as yours ;).
yeah i agree that it is better to buy more people who are rated less to getter a better all round squad.
and yes the left side of the screen refers to rb. this is how it would be for the standard 4-4-2
GK
RB - CB - CB - LB
RM - CM - CM - RM
CF - CF
I usually play a diamond shape. Might make it a 5-3-2 though :-\. Who knows until I fiddle with my team when the new guys roll in.
Instead of RM, try playing Wingers if you got them.
Yeah I know to play wingers HP I was just illustrating where the standard positions are on the tactics page. I was going to be playing a 4-3-3 wingers because that is my favourite formation, but to get the best out of wilshere i will instead be playing a 4-2-3-1
I like wingers too but wasn't gifted with any at Gold Coast (only 1 to start the team ::)).
Yeah me neither, so thats why my first 2 signings were 2 wingers :)
Signing 2 wingers but 1 has to be used up forward instead. Other just a solid benchie :).
Should we get some sort of prize for the winner??
They get extra prize money. That should be enough :P.
That and bragging rights ;D.

Highest rated player in the league i think :P
Him and Schwarzer are both 90.
I might just have got another 90 player... the rest of my side is gonna suffer though...
Boomz how can you afford to spend 6 mil on diarra and then bid 5 mil on hleb? Where are you getting the money?
That was before I got diarra I think so i won't get him... I bid on a few others but I won't get them either.
Ah right. So who is this other 90 player you are going to get?
well... if I get him you'll soon find out ;) If I dont.... You will never know lol... nah I just cant remember his name right now.
Fury signed Ryan Nelson!
Roar signed Wilkshire!
Sydney signed Rukavtsya
Some nice signings there guys ;)

To put it nicely... No. It is more than just buying the best players, you need to use the right tactics etc...
Rukavtsya was a steal at 1.5.
That said he won't play much against Gold Coast, he's not match fit
That's a good thing ;D.
what is everyones' avg player for their starting line up??
Mine is 83 :)
Just want to say also i just made something like 22 bids on 17-18 year olds on my River Plate team :D
Why that many?!!!
I have about 5 or so on average in my youths. My Aston Villa squad have had youths sprout up well 8). From 75, 3 have jumped to over 80 past few weeks 8). Hopefully more luck comes for you ;).
That's impressive for your starting line up zz.
Mine is 81. But still waiting for a transfer to go through. Once that happens it will be 82 ;D
Mine's 81, but I'm still waiting on a couple of transfers
Cos i have got so much cash started off with 192mil down to 111mil then down more after all those transefers accepted, all the really good 17-18 y.o.s are at Barcelona though. most the ones i bided on were from external clubs or are free agents so i should get them all easialy,
BTW my average is actually 82
trying to do one last transfer but that wont affect it only a benchie :)
Mines 83, will be 84 when a transfer goes through.

Try getting 17/18 year olds who are better rated then. Can get a few that are rated 85+ for 5-10 million a piece ;D.
Mines 82
Ahhh HP Rukavtsya may not see more than 15 minutes of action but my OTHER striker, Ariel Ortega will be tormenting you from the start, it also frees Brosque to roam the midfield and link up with Nicky Carle
I also signed Danny Tiatto....Just because I can :P I loved Danny
I have a rating of 81 :(. But have a rated 85 defender coming in to help out 8).
I'm getting lucky this first week against you :P. I have my newly found striker likely to only last 60 minutes (when I normally make my subs each game) as he has fatigue from his long journey from Barcelona.
Tiatto as well ::). You could give CC a run for his money.
Just signed some young guns to watch out for 8)
Games start tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how much money you get from 1 game.
Don't think it's alot :(.
Looks like my 2 new signing will only be playing a portion of the game BP. Overall average of my starting team is 81 but have a solid keeper and forward line 8).
Very defensive line up for my boys but also attacking at the same time.

I don't think so. Chrisuzz isn't a member. His rep points are lower than mine. And I haven't played for 2 years
Ahhh here it is...from their help
QuoteThe vacant managerial positions for each association will be offered randomly to managers within the Game World regardless of what success you have experienced with your club.
And where do you find if you have been offered a position?
I'm guessing it would come up in your messages. uzz could tell you. I just know Brazil's been offered because I saw in the International list
Yeah it comes up in the message section. But to accept it you need to become a member so not worth it...

I was offered some job, but deleted the message so can't remember which country haha ::)
edit: just looked and since ukraine and brazil were the only teams offered to managers i guess it must have been brazil...
I think I might have just found the last piece of my puzzle for now....I don't think he'll go through before the first game but it's the one I wanted to shore up, the Goalkeeper
Who is the keeper BP? I got in Dudek this morning
Stoari. Buffon's backup at Juventus.
I was thinking of getting Dudek but instead went for Turnbull. A little more pricey but younger.
If you are a GOLD member, you get can accept jobs for countries. Even if you are not you'll get offered. But can't accept unless you become a gold member.
I made a bid on a keeper... Won't come through for this week game though...
Made a bid for a south amrican playmaker but fury will prbaly get smahshed this week
You guys should be looking at national youth squads, get players from there...
how do you view that
You can't :P.
Just search players under 21 if you are looking for youths ;).
thats what i usually do, i think i might be signing the youngest player in the league a 16 y.o.
Well seeing as I was up all night, Found out results came in between 5am and 6am :P. Some shocking results came out of round 1 :o.
I'll post the results here and table in the next post.
Sydney FC 1 - 0 Gold Coast United
North Queensland Fury 1 - 0 Adelaide United
Wellington Phoenix 3 - 1 Melbourne Victory
Melbourne Heart 0 - 1 Brisbane Roar
Newcastle Jets 1 - 4 Perth Glory
The first match was decided 2 minutes in with a Jamieson goal. BP's side did well to hang onto the lead. Strong signs from both teams. Keller from Sydney was named man of the match but could of been a range of players. This match drew the biggest crowd of the round with over 12,000 people showing up 8).
After a low off season by Fury, they kicked off the season with a win thanks to a Talay goal. He was deservingly man of the match. An injury to Adelaide's star player Baraja didn't help. Neither did a Red Card to Van Dijk 21 minutes in. Adelaide dominated most of the match but couldn't make it count.
Touted as a pre season favourite, the Victory stumbled at the first hurdle. A Jassim double put them away. A solid match up between the sides. The big signings of Victory couldn't gel together enough for a win on such short notice. But wouldn't expect them to stay down for long.
Shock of the round goes to Roar over the Heart. CC's Heart was probably the most star studded line up in this small league. But just like the Heart, didn't get off to a good start. A late Jeffren goal put them away. A Tommy Oar injury to the Heart will see him out for over a month. A big let down but still a long way to go until the end of the season. Wouldn't be suprised if they hit back hard next week in the showdown.
To go top of the Ladder, Perth absolutely smashed the Jets. Although Alex's Jets fought bravely, they were no match for Diarra and the Glory. Diarra of course is the best rated player in the league. Bad news is he will be out for over a month with a pulled groin. BOOMZ will not be happy for such an injury early on. Pellegrino is also injured but for only 2 weeks. Glory held on possession for 65% of the time. No suprise they converted the majority of their shots. An own goal didn't help the Jets cause either. Jelic gets man of the match although that could be disputed.

I lost and lost money so i assume if you win you gain money? If so how much?

Crap i'm gonna be in debt!!
I am in debt.
I lost and am down about 70-80k :'(. Now I have less than 500k :o. Gotta make some money back myself.
Hopefully I can sell a player or two and get some money. Only if other teams will buy them :P.
Same.
Sucks about Diarra but I can cover him for now... good start for me anyway ;D
shockwin 4 me seing i have probly the worst average ratin with 77
but a wins a win and if i would b in debt..go fury but only 4 socer manager;)
Hopefully a few loan bids can go through for me :). Get some depth into the line up.
Sad to hear about Diarra. Brought some spark to the game ;).
Coming up against you next round hawka 8). On Thursday morning it is.
I'll take offers for all my players... just added some more to the loan list if anyone wants them... some on the transfer list too.
My loyal Sydney FC fans made cash for me. I'm up about 200k, almost back to the million mark ;D.
Of all the people I thought would score though I didn't expect Jamieson. It was a close game though. I dominated possession but HP had more shots on target but Necievski (The Only goalkeeper I had because Storari hadn't arrived) Stood tall.
By the way HP, you can have Ryall but you're not getting Cole on a loan
My Iraqi import during the week scored 2 goals for me and got Man-of-the-Match :D
Very Dissapointed with my teams (Heart) performance, now i need to win my next match against cross town rivals Victory, someone is going to go 0-2 after that game. Not all bad news though, I have just signed Marco Breciano!
What can I say CC? Perhaps I should roll out the cliche and say to win you need a star team (Brisbane Roar) not a team of stars (Heart). As I said I expected the win and I got it :)
Also HP I accepted the offer for Nichols, but then couldn't for Barbarouses cos you already have 3 loaned players
I think I also made money because I was the home team with the highest crowd and also didn't bloat fat contracts. Only "Holy Diver" and Storari have contacts over 20k with me
Yeah you don't get money from winning matches, just from home crowds, player transfers and a few other things

Wages CC... they were more than you made.

Hp would you be able to do something like this after every round of matches??? It was great.
______________________________________________________________
First Page Updated too.
Exactly what BOOMZ said. You are paying your players far too much because you brought in all those big names
I'm in a far worse situation..... Need to sort it out...
How much is everyone spending on wages each week?
I am currently spending £213,495
273k but thats gonna go down... hopefully.
I'm paying 261k
257k, But I expect that to go to 255 by Wednesday

Anybody is good 8). Put in a big for 6 players. Some are bound to fall through but hopefully most go through. Not the biggest names :P. Signed the Maximum of 3 on loan. Can let them go at anytime during the season 8).
Wage bill is 246k all up. But for 25 players.
I was just wondering when do you get money from
- Gate Receipts
- TV Revenue
- Sponsor
- Merchandise
- Cash Injection
????????

Wage bill might of exceeded it causing the decrease?
Not sure when it comes in but if going by weekly things, might be on a Monday?
but others alreay got it & if the wages were more it would still show up on the finances page...

jjeeez a shocker for me my star player now injured and my best striker suspended :(
My star is out too... till 28th of oct :( but at least i got a win!
Goody BOOMZ I play you Wednesday :P
I'm bringing in some youth talent. Cutting some wages of players who aren't going to play for me. For instance I'm going to get rid of Hayden "Like Flower I'm paying $3,600 a turn for your 74 Rated arse" Foxe

That shouldn't matter looking at the help. The TV revenue gets dispersed evenly through the clubs, home or away.

Has to be more than one. I played HP as I said
I Found this:
Income
Your club's weekly income is broken down on the balance sheet on the right-hand side, and there is a running total for the current season on the left-hand side. The following entries makeup your expenditure:
* Season Ticket Receipts: At the start of each season you will receive an injection of money from season ticket sales. This figure will be dependent on your fan base and division you are currently in.
* Gate Receipts: If you have played a home match in the league, you will receive income from ticket sales at your ground. Gate receipt money will be divided between both the home and away teams for cup games. The better your club performs in the league and cup the more money you will gain from gate receipts as fans are more likely to come and support you.
* TV Revenue: About 50% of a league's income during a season is TV money, and it is divided up equally between all clubs in the league, big and small. The TV revenue is awarded to clubs when they play league games home and away.
* Sponsor: External companies sponsor your club on a weekly basis. The better your club performs in the league and cup the more money you will gain from sponsorship as sponsors are more likely to invest in a successful club.
* Merchandise: The better your club performs in the league and cup the more money you will gain from merchandise as fans are more likely to come and spend money on a successful team.
* Cash Injection: Your Chairman will always invest cash to ensure that your clubs 'net worth' (cash + player values) is never less than 50% of the average club in your league (see Game World Economy).
* Transfer Money In: During the course of the season your club can generate additional income from transfers.
* Prize Money: At the end of each season you will receive prize money from the SMFA. First, you will receive prize money for your final league position. Second, you will receive prize money for winning a Domestic Cup, the SMFA Champions Cup or SMFA Shield cup competitions. Third, you will receive prize money for winning a game in the SMA Champions Cup or if you draw a game during the group stages.
* Other Income: This figure is miscellaneous income.
hm... Well I won 4-1 I should get some money.... >:(
Yeah its just a bit weird that some people have got all this money and others haven't.
Maybe wait until after the matches on wednesday and see if anything changes then?

have renuvne and sponsors i think u get gate tickets wen u have a home game
I'm looking to move on Culina and Djite (and 2 others).
Expect 1 or 2 MASSIVE signings by mid next week ;). Deciding on who to bring in.......
If I had 1 mil, could of brought in to guns 8).
intersted in taking loans so il b lookin at the loan lissts
Anyone willing to loan me a striker??? I will loan a player to them in return.
Have a look at the players I have up... not sure if I have any strikers up but if I do u can loan them.
Guys, need some help on a decision.
Which is better?
Dejan Stankovic (rated 93 but 32)
or
Javier Zanetti (rated 94 but 37) and Micheal Owen/Roque Santa Cruz (Rated 89 a piece).
Can bring either of these combo's in. Leaning to the last one and landing my Beloved Santa Cruz :-*. Although he incurs me to pay 100k more for him compared to Owen.

ssepya/daal ??? ???

I'm far more intrested in building bank at the moment. I think after these next two transfers I have lined up I'm going to sit for a week or two unless something huge inspires me to move

Same for me.
Bringing in 2 big guns, 2 smaller guns and a solid back up keeper.
I''m not making any more transfers. My team is pretty good in my opinion
Be prepared for the man of the league in Javier Zanetti set to make the move in a few short days 8).
Wage is a killer in 64k a week :o.
Really think it is a good idea to bring him in then if you will pay that much in wages HP?
Trust me HP You don't wanna be paying those sort of wages... I'm gonna struggle with Diarra's which is 44k...
I'll think about it. Very Very High wage, But a straight swap with Culina who is rated 8 below him :-\.
Whats Culina's wage compared to his? triple?
Yeah :P. But the rating difference is just :o. And Culina is worth more due to age ;).
lol rating is good but I wish now I had just gone for 80-85 rated players instead of diarra and a few ok players...
That's kind of my thing. 2 "Franchise" players (The 28k salaries of "Holy Diver" and Storari) 1 "Former legend who plays cheaply" (Ortega, Who I feel is a bargain at 18k) and the rest filled with young talent around the 80 mark to build the base (Rukavytsya, Lowry, Drinkwater) plus a couple of "Role players who've done it before" to fill gaps (Tiatto and Babayaro). My wage bill should sit at about 250k once my last two transfers go through (They're player swaps to cut salary)
Yea you've done well... I've got my wages down to about 255k now so i'm fairly happy with that...
Won't get Zanetti and Sant's 100k salary between them.
Instead, getting 4 players in with a salary a little over Zanetti's. Also, gets rid of 7 players in total for them with only 125k spent.
My cash is gonna go back up but I'm not gonna have a very strong side for this week...

I may have the same problem but not through lack of funds. uzz and I are both in the SMFA Champions Cup (Well "In" it as much we can't control the side because we're not Gold managers)
My cash is on the slide :o.
But hopefully my new recruits to be in Muller and Kewell can do something about that 8).

Yeah I think I'm in one of those too... but it doesnt have any effect on there condition I don't think... My problem is i have accepted some bids on my players so they will go but then I won't have time to get some new guys in before the match...

Muller is a really good signing HP. I am impressed 8)
If i had some money I would sign a few cheap players who are only rated in the 70's but will improve heaps soon. I wish I had money!
I meanwhile am so tempted to sign Edgar Davids...I can do it on a straight swap without affecting my wage bill....but it would leave me a little short in other areas.....but it's soooo tempting.
Yeah I was so tempted too a while ago. It would be so cool to have Davids on your team wouldn't it Daz, I mean BP :P
Muller is good 8). Straight swap for Culina and another player.
Only bringing in Kewell for another Aussie star 8). Otherwise, would of brought in another 21 y.o.
Yeah great signing HP
I've decided to pass on Davids for now. It'd just leave me too short down back.
However I have decided to make one signing...a Goalkeeper. Just because I can (And he only costs 10k). He will probably never play, he will probably not even be on the bench, he will probably never do ANYTHING for me but take money. But I don't care.
Welcome to Sydney FC Mark Bosnich :P
im trying to sign up a 85 rated CF
I'm building a strong-ish defence & Attack but my mid is gonna be shower this week...Playing a few 70 rated guys...
Are you playing Adelaide ;D
would be good for me cos my star midfielder/player is out
No BOOMZ's Glory are playing my Sydney FC

Most likely you will slaughter me...
Forgot to mention Brad Jones of Liverpool as joined the Gold Coast 8).
Lol BP. Bosnich :P.
will have a strongish foward line if my trade does through though an 83 nd 85 that'll look good with a 88 CM and 87 CB 8)
All sorted, I got them to fix my financial situation, if you guys are having trouble just send in a ticket to them.

I didnt actually make the bid for some reason, but now i put a bid on a 19yo AM/Wing and a 19yo FWD/Wing this will mean every player in my starting line up will be rated 80 or above :)
Too bad they wont be in for tonights matches a fwd and another mid would be great with my star cm and star fwd out

Nah. For SMFA leagues only gold members can set teams for them. So if you aren't one, your "AC" does it for you.

Who's the Fury coach again? Doesn't matter as Muller will score a hat trick on debut 8).
Just had my offers for Breciano and Rivas accepted, so looking forward to adding them to my lineup in the coming days.
Congrats on signing Kewell HP you just beat me to him he was next on my list
Had to get an Aussie sensation in 8). If anybody noticed, Brad Jones is my back up keeper 8).

Well good to know hawka ;). Hopefully I can dominate and get some more money 8).
but il admit u will probaly flog me hp ;) :'(
You did win last week :-\.
Trying out different formations next few games so who knows about how my squad does :P.
yer this weeki found how to change formations and subs in the game so that mite help
I'll get to this rounds round up in my next post.
P.S BP, Do you have the team Osasuna which is in Div 2 of the Spanish Championship 130? Think reckonized the name from fantasy NFL? :P. If so, Look up Almeria ;). I own them 8).
Same very close matches this week.
GC vs Fury - This was started with a bang. David Williams scores the fastest goal so far this season, 1 minute into the match. Although Fury dominated possession throughout the game, Gold Coast took more shots which eventually lead to the equaliser from Muller. Has paid early dividends for them by snatching a point. Morata just had a horrible game with a rating of 3 by the end of it. Also on a sadder note, Williams injured himself and set for 3-4 weeks on the sideline. Keirrison was named man of the match
Adelaide vs Pheonix - Quite a game. Both had plenty of chances but Adelaide maintained possession which eventually lead to the winner through Flores. Rightfully so, he was named man of the match. The Pheonix team though in all had a very good game as all players rated a 7 bar the keeper. Not even all the Adelaide players could do that!!
Victory vs Heart - Hyped up as match of the round and for good reason. Attracting a sizzling crowd of just over 24,000, it didn't disappoint. An early goal for favourites Heart by Worm put them in front. However, this was only held until just over half time when a cracking shot from Holman put the Victory on even terms. Wasn't the best day for the keepers with Petkovic and Schwarzer rating poorly. Holman's equaliser just nudged him ahead for man of the match.
Roar vs Jets - Jets started with a bang just like Fury did. Wehrman scored a minute in. The onyl downside to that was, McKay scored just 6 minutes later to even it up. In the 29th minutes, Brioch put the Roar into the lead in which the Jets couldn't fight out of. Jeffren was named man of the match which could of gone several ways. A pretty dominant display by the roar to leave them 2nd on the ladder. SCoredboard might not reflect it though.
Glory vs Sydney - Should be the match of the round. Close, suspense, injuries, you name it, this match had it (except for red cards :(). Goals Galore as the Glory wins 3-2 and lands themselves on top of the table and now becomes the hunted. Great games by almost all players on the field With Materazzi the man of the match. Both teams suffered an injury. Glory lose Colak for 9 days which isn't that bad. Sydney are hit very hard losing back wall brick Materazzi for 3 weeks. He'll miss a fair chunk of games, will Sydney and BP manage?

Great Stuff.
I just updated main page with ladder and fixtures.
Thanks. Roar and Glory the only ones undefeated after 2 rounds :o.
I might need to extend some contracts to get morale boosted ;).
Serious I won?! wow I thought I'd lose... tradd some key mids and had to play some 70 rated youngsters ;D ahh well I can cover Colak...
good game hp ;) thought youd win but a draw so im 3rd which is preety good :D
Rivas and Bresciano just arrived so an 88 rated mid and a 85 rated CB should help my team a bit :)
I'm building a very strong defence... my keeper is only 80 but every around him is 80+

My defence is quite strong also. My keeper is 90. RB is 88. CB is 85. Other CB is 84 and LB is 80
Very nice :P I'm getting in some better mids atm.
I'm somewhere between "screwed" and "flowered". :'( Defence is the one place I couldn't afford to lose a player, let alone "Holy Diver". I've got basically two options, spend money I don't have drafting in a centre back to replace him or play with a guy out of position. Or the third option is recall Ryall from HP
By the way HP that is me as Osasuna. We won 6-0 today. Gomez is a gun

Yes but would have to be at the right price im considering a swap but cash would do me fine,, also his real life form isnt that impressive at the moment so ill be happy to get rid of him.

anyone that was thinking of trying to get my Travis Dodd off me there is now a minimum fee of 4mil
Same with Vrteski... Both in the same trade lol
OMFG!! GIVE ME ONE GUY!! I MEAN COME ON!!
LOL try getting them from external clubs.
WOO I GET MATT MCKAY!! now i have like 1 mill left..
Hilly you could buy Dodd off me but 4mil is a bit much, do what BOOMZ said and get players from external clubs
oh well i get Mckay!
Calm down now Hilly, you don't need to resort to typing in capitals :P

I'm being quite busy in the transfer market. Currently doing straight swaps for 6 players, plus selling McKay to Hilly, and once I get the money from that I will be buying a replacement for him. So I will be getting in 7 new players in a day or 2!!!

I am still not sure yet even though i have had a home game because remember i had the bug because i didn't get any money from that home game, well i had to contact them telling them what happened and they sorted it out by giving me the money. I got about 800k from that though.
800k just from gate receipts??
Wow cos I just checked and you only had 7,975 people turn up, whereas I had 12,733 people turn up to my home game this morning and I only got 275k in gate reciepts
think that 800k must be from the season not just this week?!

Just Signed El Zhar from Liverpool.
Danyy Welbeck from Man U and Thiago Alatrez from Barca
HP just looked at your match report very defensive, where as my set up is more attacking we be a good game between us two completely different tatics.
Just had my offers accepted for Philippe Coutinho from Inter, Dani Pacheco from Liverpool, Vidal Oriol Romeu from Barcelona and Jeffery Bruma from Chelsea. All 4 are going to turn in to world class players. Especial Oriol Romeu who Arsenal are apparently going to try and get if Fabregas goes back to Barca. Still got 3 other bids waiting to be accepted too
Slowly getting a well rounded team together... one big player (Diarra) but the rest just solid... Waiting on some to be accepted still -.-

Looked defensive but looks can be deceiving ;).
I'm trying out new formations so you might face a different line up. Fatigue will take a little factor in the coming round ;).
Yeah I've got a few that I don't know if they will get up for... maybe late substitions... I can work with what I have though. Tactics most important.

They do that to try and get people to get Gold Membership. You'll get a few of them every few weeks. Just delete the messages.
You were second choice for brazil HP cos I had already been offered it :P
I have also been offered Netherlands. Which is annoying cos they are my favourite country team apart from Australia of course!!
Waiting for my final transfer to happen now. Hoping he will come in before the match tonight cos he is my replacement for selling McKay to Hilly

LOL Bp
Better than my game ::).
I'll get to the round up soon. Had a good sleep in 8).
2 of my players suspended for 3 games -.-
3 games, 3 victories!
Can't ask for much more than that! ;D
Oh also no injuries or suspensions, so I guess I can :P
Well done Crowsfan.
Thanks CC. Not sure how I won the last game though. Possession was 57-43 for me, but total shots was 6-16 to him, and shots on target 2-10!
So where do we start.....
Adelaide Vs Gold Coast - The second goal in 2 weeks The Gold Coast have conceeded in the opening minute. This Pantelis goal ended up making GC chasing the game from the get go. A Boogaard Red Card in the 77th minute helped when Kewell stuck an Equaliser in the 85th. He was in turn rewards man of the match. Adelaide move up to 5th while Gold Coast fall to the bottom with just 2 draws in 2 games. New game plans must be tried out to find the winning one. Won't help with Van Den Brink out for 4 weeks.
Victory Vs Fury - Attracting an attendance of 24,000 people, was arguably the match of the round for the first 50 minutes. 5 goals spread out between the first half and the early second half. An Early Pondeljak double was counter balanced with a quick Wilkshire and Rabello goals. But in the 48 minutes the winner was struck by Mkhitaryan. Who's that? Who knows. All the Victory fans know is that he won man of the match and won the game for them.
Roar Vs Pheonix - A fairly small crowd turned up to cheer the undefeated roar at home to Wellington. For those who came, they were treated early with a Strurridge double within 10 minutes of kick off. Great stuff from the young fella. Although the Pheonix drrew back a goal in the 21st minute from a Laas strike, it wasn't enough to stop the Roar onto victory. Wellington took 16 shots to Roar's 6. Just alot of wasted opportunities there. The veteran keeper Dudek was awarded man of the match despite conceeding. Stopped alot of shot this round. Roar remain undefeated on top of the ladder.
Glory Vs Heart - Can anybody say goal fest? A very Very small crowd of only around 8,000 turned up to see the Glory get smashed. But this does mean the pre season hype for the Heart wasn't a myth. Early goals by Zullich and Jaqua allowed Glory to sneak ahead but not for long. A red card to Lovren ended up costing a goal to El Zhar minutes before half time. After the break, Ronaldo and Leontiou struck quickly to give the Glory a 3-2 lead. But Ronaldo struck again to level the scores. Sadly When Johnson got sent off for the Glory leaving only 9 men on field, it symbolised their doom. Sarkies and Henrique scored 10 minutes later to get 5 goals for the Heart. The Srhoj scored in the 85th minute to just add that little more to the win. Besides Alex Terra and Thompson, The Heart had a superb game. Henrique capped of his great game with man of the match.
Jets Vs Sydney - A Bridges Double in the 2nd and 48th minute sealed the win in a pretty even game. A crowd of nearly 10,000 witnessed a back and forth possession game. Lineups were even. Game play was even. May not be as high scoring, but was a very entertaining match to say the least. Ortega scored a goal in the 64th minute to give the Sky Blues some hope, but it was false hope. Ortega received man of the match which should be his last one for another 2-3 rounds after suffering an injury.
I may just fire my whole squad....
At least you aren't last ::).
Nice write up again HP.
But you need to fix this for the Glory v Heart game:
Sarkies and Henrique scored 10 minutes later to get 5 goals for the Roar.
Thanks.
And I did :). Look again (didn't edit) ;).
Great Write Up HP.
I looked again HP and it still says Roar. It is meant to say Heart

Whats the Australian Champ cup? should I be taking it seriously or resting my players like I was planning? lol
Rest if you want.
Winner takes home a trophy (for their cabinet) and gets some prizemoney!!! Also, gets more revenue and sponsorship if you do well in the cup ;).
I try to take it seriously but that's just me :P. If you want to go for league, don't bother about it and hope your second team can go far in it :P.
hm... I'll see how well they have recovered by then! if their not too fatigued i'll take it seriously.
I'll be playing my second string against you BOOMZ. All my first team players have 80% fitness or less so wont be playing them
I'm playing a bit of a mixed team... Have to play some of my 1st's coz of suspension & injuries -.-
Well then you will probably beat me :(
lol I'm going to use as many subs as i can...
You can make 3 subs. Still undecided how I will use mine
I always use 3 subs in my matches at 60 minutes. A pretty common theme for my games if anybody looks over it :P.
Don't want to get too predictable there HP :P
Just makes setting up teams easier for me :P. I have to do 4 ;D.
Formation though changes ;).
Wow 4 teams? Do you have 2 accounts or are you a gold member?
2 accounts ;D.
I own Villa and Chievo in one, the other has Gold Coast and Almeria.
Ah nice. How are they all going?
I also manage Blackburn :D
well i also manage chelsea.. happy with them past manager left them in good nic..
Ok not sure if HP was going to do a write up for the first round of the cup, but since I am here and trying to avoid uni work thought I would give it a go.
Perth Glory - Brisbane Roar
In what were 2 very different teams to those that played in the league on Saturday, Brisbane managed to record a comfortable 4-1 victory and progress through to the quarter final. The highlight being a hattrick from youngster Dani Pacheco, who also picked up the man of the match award. Brisbane had only 1 player in the starting XI that played on Saturday and that was keeper Jerzy Dudek as the manager obviously wanted to refresh the top players before their derby with North Queensland on Wednesday.
Newcastle Jets - Wellington Phoenix
In the only other cup match the Phoenix overcame the Jets 3-0 at Energy Australia Stadium. All goals were scored by Iraqi import Karrar Jassim. This obviously meant Jassim was named man of the match. Neither team opted to rest players so both went in with the same line ups that they had used on Saturday. You now have to worry over the fitness of some of their players for their matches this Wednesday as 3 matches in 5 days would tire anyone out.
Sydney FC - Bye
Adelaide United - Bye
Gold Coast United - Bye
Melbourne Victory - Bye
Melbourne Heart - Bye
North Queensland Fury - Bye
Quarter Final Fixtures:
Melbourne Victory - North Queensland Fury
Gold Coast United - Melbourne Hart
Sydney FC - Brisbane Roar
Wellington Phoenix - Adelaide United
I manage Osasuna in the same league as HP and also Man City in a world league. Oh and a second account in which I manage Melbourne Heart in another Australian league
I manage Liverpool and River Plate one one account, and Adelaide United and Athletic Club on the other
Nice write up CF. I might be able to cover the cup matches.
I'll still do the rounds but in the evening when I get home.
i just did the tutorial a few days ago so i started of small enof and started with leeds united in the 2nd division in england
Nice 8).
I don't like starting with any of the big teams. Easy to build a great squad with the best players. Play with a medium/badder squad and you'll be much more happier when you win ;).
Lost 1-0 to FC Tokyo in the SMFA cup
okay guys i ve got a question for all of yous
Would you pick a 17yo rated 80
Or
23yo rated 82
Or
Wait a few games and get an 84 rated 24yo
Note which ever option i go with the player will be in my starting 11
Hmm that really depends on who they are and how much they cost to begin with.
You never really know when their skills are going to get updated so it could take ages for the 17 year old to increase in skill (or even decrease). I would prob go the 23 year old for now
Go the 23 year old for instant gain. If you feel you can wait for the 24 year old, do that.
I like 17/18 year olds as they are cheap but I usually get the 75 rated ones for back up.
I just added a couple of really low raters for depth. I doubt they'll ever play but they only cost $300 in wages so they're there if needed.
Also added Aston Villa to my ever growing SM family. I now have five teams to take care of.
Lost 1-0 to Shimazu S-Pulze in the Asian Cup. My Heart drew 1-1 in their match though
Got the Jets tonight. Should be a win.
Up against North Queensland Fury. Should be an competitive match, but I think I should get the win.
Interesting to note that Fury have used a different formation in each match
dont get your hopes up too high CC
cf trades and injuries have affected my formantion and u will beat me ;)
Are you playing mind games with me hawka? :P
Telling me I will win so I take it easy and then you pounce!
well wats the averge ratin for ur startin line up
82. Why what is yours?
77 see i told u i will get smahsed be the victory of the yr if i won tho ;D
Not all about ratings though hawka. I managed to beat the Heart in the first game when he had better average rating.
Try and beat the system I am playing and you should have a chance of winning.
Here is a clue for you on how to beat me:
I am playing the same formation I have done in all my matches so far. Plus my full backs are both weaker than my 2 centre backs so you should maybe attack down the wings, if you have strength there
thx crow ;) dont have great strength there but il try...and i found out were the player attcks by puttin a arow were he wants ;D so il b beta equip
Haha maybe I should have waited till after the match to tell you how to beat teams!
Beat Jets 1-0 thanks to Ronaldo.
High scoring game against HP lost 4 - 2
This team can blow me.
That is all
haha BP. I lost 2-1 injuries & suspension are hurting...
Told hawka how to beat me so he attacks down the flanks and gets a 1-1 draw. Why did I tell him that?
hahaha

And You had a 2 goal lead within the first 5 minutes ;D. Great game though. Alot of yellow cards to my side but well worth it to taste victory 8).
Good way to cap the day :D. Get a win in 3 of my 4 teams. Although I lost my unbeaten run at Almeria :'(.
Round Round Up Will be up shortly.
The Round Round Up:
Sydney Vs Adelaide - Not much explanation here. A complete domination of Sydney by the hands of Adelaide. A 4-nil drubbing would have BP angry. Could lead to some players dropped due to Sydney now slumping to bottom of the ladder. This was made even a more dismal display with Wellbeck being sent of within minutes of kickoff. N'Gog started it off for Adelaide with 2 early goals which was double late in the game by Leckie and Thiago. It was a possession game in which Adelaide absolutely dominated and controlled the tempo of the game. Favalli named man of the match. The win did come with a hiccup for Adelaide. Dodd is expected out for the next 6 rounds.
Gold Coast Vs Victory - Finally a win for Gold Coast. After 1 loss and 2 draws a win comes in with a hattrick to Kewell. It was one sided first few minutes with Victory going ahead 2-nil up through Zozulya and Perez. AFter which Kewell and Keirrison combined for 4 goals. Kewell is now top of the goalscorer charts even though this is only his second game. Also his second man of the match which is making him quite a get. The game was fairly even, though Victory had aot more shots on goal. Turnbull turned in a good game between the posts. This game gave out many cards. 5 to be exact and 4 of them going to the Gold Coast!! Going to have a few players on edge if they continue this type of action.
Fury Vs Roar - A very likely lop-sided match turned into a cracker. Brisbane dominated possession and the shots taken. However, could not convert and had to settle with a draw with the valiant Fury lineup. Daal kicked off he scoring just after half time in a cracker of a goal. But was equaliser 30 minutes later by man of the match, Solorzano. 1 minute later lead to a Hughes red card and made the Fury work even harder. Both the Fury and Roar suffered an injury. Fury will be without Talay for up to 6 weeks with a Hernia. Roar will be missing young gun Pamic for a month who has twisted an ankle.
Pheonix Vs Glory - My pick for match of the round. Pheonix held possession but the Glory had more shots on goal. First half was fairly dull but after half time the game stepped up. Within 16 minutes the empty scoreline turned into 1-1 and the game was on. A Glory goal by Jullich was quickly cancelled out by a Cornejo stike a minute later. It took until the 87th minute of regulation time for Pheonix to steal the game with a late Ifill goal. The man of the match however was Lochhead, a defender for Wellington.
Heart Vs Jets - Although the Heart could of put on a clinic, they settled with a comfortable 1-nil draw. They easily won the possession throughout the game and maintaining the pace that was set. However, the Jets had 1 more shot them them. CC won't be happy with that. A 75th minute Ronaldo goal put them over the line. Took a while but they eventually got over by the man of the match who had a great game (rated 10). Not much else to say about the game. 1 card to Zadkovich and no injuries.
Another good write up today HP.
Looking forward to Saturday's match against you now. After telling hawka how to beat me I am giving you no hints whatsoever! And with the cup match on monday I may tinker with my line up and formation so I will be fresh for the cup
Good stuff HP
Thanks guys.
Hope it be a blowout in my favor CF :P. Kewell is in fine form. Good luck stopping him, Keirrison and Muller ;). Which 2 will play up front.......
I'm thinking of buying De Jong just for this game so he can injure all 3 in the first 20 minutes without even getting a card :P
My guys are more likely to injure your players at the risk of many red cards :P.
Aggressive orders set ;). Intimidation begins 8).
My orders are set to collingwood supporter! Every player will be carrying a knife hidden behind their shin pad and are told to use them whenever the ref isn't looking :P
My guys will pull Rivaldo's all over the place to protect themselves :P.
Sounds like this game is going to be very entertaining then :)
Should be ;D. Won't hype it up as match of the round as it could fail either way :P.
Hopefully the backs will finally keep a cleansheet again ::).
Nice write up again HP
Thanks reesbr :).
You know I'm really torn as to whether or not I should just throw the next game just to make an example that performances like the last one aren't going to be tolerated
BP i feel for ya sorry bout the thumping :P
Nice write up HP
Ive got my right back out for 7 days, Dodd for 3 weeks and Wellbeck is missing 2 leagues games with his red card.
You know BP I would have thought throwing a game would teach your players that it is ok to lose!
I noticed something weird N'gog got a match rating of 5 yet he scored 2 goals and had 2 assissts

Could it just possibly be your Brisbane Roar CF?
Oh what really? I had no idea! :P
But to be honest I will be playing my youth in the cup
Cup match of the round i think would be 2nd vs 4th Adelaide vs Wellington
with 4 startin 11 players injured or suspened and with a cup game i wana win this is a sneak peak of my team which has no wilkshire or nelsen
Average Rating Average Age Average Value
73 21 £255k
Why am i reavling this??? just doing wat CF did for me in helpin the other team and i will get smashed defeintly this week ;)
i wanna win my cup game so im going in with a weaker team also
The Average rating of my starting 11 is 79
I'm going weaker too, just beause of harsh discipline. Added bonus is Ortega is an outside chance to play in the cup
Not as low as hawka though. My starting average is 76. Almost all my starting XI aren't playing. Only Storari, Brosque and Lowry survive.
yeah only five for me from my strongest eleven 3 def, cf and gk survive
Hey HP how come in your last match you played you strongest CB/LB as a RB? Seems a bit odd to me...
Might go in with a few players facing fatigue. But by the looks of it, could still be a formadible side 8). Kewell, Kierra and Muller are set to line up ;).
Was trying out something new ;). Was seeing if he played better there incase I read the fielding wrong ;D. I doubt that but you never know ;).
Oh haha I thought it was a little strange.
Well I have changed my formation for tonights match to try and catch you off guard :P
I go on in the evening and set the orders. Some guys can overcome their fatigue 8).
I'll be changing my orders as well!!! Or am I.......
Yeah I will check again tonight for fatigue, but most of my players are pretty well rested :)
Most my guys are around 80-85 % fatigue if i rest them for 1 game the should be ready to go for the cup game
So is everybody now trying to win the cup?
I'm just going to field my backups in it. I would prefer to win the league ;D
Well I won't be fielding a full strength squad unless they are fit enough. I'll play whoever is fit!!!
CF, most of my first team are playing tonight 8). Only Radkovic and Pantelidis are taking a breather ;).
Desided to play wilkshire he is almost 100% fit so my averge ratin goes up by 2 and age by 1

Not at all. My moves are more disciplinary than because of the cup. That and the kids I'm putting out could not do a flowering worse job
I think BP you just need to get that team chemistry together and then you will be fine. Maybe you should treat them with kindness instead :P
HP most of my first team are playing except for soloranzo cos I want to try something different
I would crack up if they lose by 5-nil ;D ;D.
I really doubt they'll lose by that much if at all!! They'll be highly underestimated BP ;).
Looks to be an interesting match up CF. Hopefully none of your guys get injured. Or mine get sent off!! ;D.
Yeah hopefully! You could make sure you don't get players sent off and mine don't get injured by setting your tackling style to soft :P
Playing the heart I'm expecting 0-7 but at this point I really don't care
Quote from: CrowsFan on October 09, 2010, 09:46:39 PM
Yeah hopefully! You could make sure you don't get players sent off and mine don't get injured by setting your tackling style to soft :P
Or I'll go like I did last match ;). Either get in or get out.....of the fight :P.
I have never had a team set to play soft!!! Always agreesive or hard 8).
Well no wonder you keep getting so many cards then and injuring the opposition!!
You're team is far too dirty!
Not dirty, just a little edgy ;). Only did Aggressive orders for the first time last match ;D. Doing Hard this time around to avoid those cards ;). Will it make a cameo after 60 minutes? Who knows..... ;).
Worked well didn't it for 4 goals ;). It's just early lapses that cost my team. Look at the goals conceeded in past matches and when they were ::).
Well if you injure my players I will be very angry and there will be revenge in the near future!! :P
won 5-2 ;D
Lost 4-3 :(
First loss in the game...
Haven't checked up yet but good signs :D.
Conceeding alot though :'(. But have been on a goalscoring roll past 2 matches 8). Kewell, Kierra and Muller are quite a trio ;).
Kewell got injured in the first 5 minutes HP...
You ruined my day :'(. Haven't looked at it yet. It'll be last so I can do the write up ;).
At least I scored a 5-2 win for Villa. A 7-nil smashing to Chievo 8).
Haha you ruined mine by beating me :P
And he didn't really get injured I was just upset about losing...
So Mean :P.
The Sydney FC B-Team.......Won 1-0 ;D
Looks like I am in a bit of a mean mode at the moment after saying that and misquoting fletch in the EPL thread. Maybe it is cos I have a 2000 word assignment due tomorrow!!
The Roundly Round Up
Some really close games this week. These matches show just how close the league is together.
Victory Vs Adelaide - A big crowd of almost 24,000 arrived last night to watch a nil all draw play out. The shots were flying out of nowhere trying to get that golden goal but it never came. Whoever went to the match would say the Victory got lucky since Adelaide dominated the possession game with 64%. Mkhitaryan was named man of the match with many of the Victory players outrating their Adelaide opponents. Bad news comes out from the match. Jones has been injured for Victory and is set to be out for 3 weeks. This could hurt them in the long run with 6 league matches and a few cup matches in between.
Roar Vs GC - My call for match of the round. A Goal fest once again for the Gold Coast and once again the prevail. A 4-3 scoreline read at full time. Early Strikes from Keirrason and Muller put them 2-nil infront. Defender Crescenzi goal was equaled out by a Jeffren goal. 1-3 at half time which was shortened after the break when Sturridge scored. Caravella and Ortiz scored in the next 15 minutes to leave the scores as they were. Keirrason was named man of the match with a rating of 10 even though he was subbed off after 60 minutes.There was no injuries and only 1 card given throughout the game. This was a welcome change to the 4 cards the GC received last round.
Glory Vs Fury - Another Goals Galore infront of a thrilled 8,395 fans. Fury got on the board early through Casey which was evened out with a Leontiou goal to Glory. Almsot straight out of half time and Gonzalez snatched a goal. In the space between the 73rd and 85th minute, 4 more goals would be scored. These were via Palanca, Leontiou, Rabello (consolation goal by Fury) and another Gonzalez goal which put the cream on the cake. No injuries to report and only 3 yellow cards handed out. Stat wise, this was one of the most lopsided matches this year. Possession was 68% - 32%. Add a 20 shots to 5 and we can see why the Glory are a force to be reckoned with.
Jets Vs Pheonix - Jets have secured their first win of the season with a 1-nil victory. Petrovski scored in the second half to help the Jets roll onto victory. This earned him the man of the match. The shots on goals were just shocking. The Pheonix had 19 shots on goal but couldn't convert. Most of them weren't even on target. I think we all know what they'll be working on before their next match. To top it all off, Cornejo was injured and is set to be out for almost 2 weeks.
Heart Vs Sydney - A crowd of 8,000 came to hopefully watch a demolition of a understrength Sydney side. Their coach even mentioned this pre round that their main squad will be dropped until they find form. They were willing to cop a defeat to teach them a lesson. To his suprise, their youngsters pulled of a massive 0-1 victory. The Heart players had better ratings across the board but that didn't matter for Sydney. Suprisingly, Sydney also took alot more shots as these youngsters really had nothing to lose. Although, man of the match was rewarded to Ronaldo who has found quite some form since joining the Heart.

LOL CF ;D. That is really bad luck. I'm guessing you haven't started it yet? :P.
Next round sees BOOMZ vs Me in a Glory Vs GC showdown. This might be interesting after this round 8).
Well I have managed to find 9 different journal articles I need to read before I write the report...
It is about the prevalence of obesity and what preventative measures are being taken to decrease it.
I HATE UNIVERSITY!!!
I can not believe we lost!! I am fuming!!
Looks like I have hit a form slump!
A draw and a loss from my last 2 games makes for a not happy manager
WOW CF :o. All on the last day as well!!! Good luck doing that. I have to do some work as well so will be in and out all day as I do it while listening to music :P.
You should be too CC. Maybe do what BP did to keep his players in check ;).
I have just found form!!! 2 wins but am conceeding alot of goals *gulp.
Yeah I only really work well on assignments if they are due the next day. If they aren't then I say to myself I have plenty of time until the day before haha!
Weird you are conceding lots of goals. Didn't you buy a few defenders right away to make sure you had a good defense?
I've got Turnull between the sticks. Rod was out resting. Had a below par defence but I don't know why they are :'(. Maybe it's because I play attacking football? Probably the explanation :'(.
Be prepared for goals whoever verses me ;).
I think I get some of my players back from suspension ;D beware HP :P

So BP just a quick question. For the cup match on monday night will you be going with the youngens that got you a win or for the old heads who have been playing so poorly?

Not sure. I'm thinking at least Carle and Rukastvya will come back in, maybe Ortega if he's fit, he's due to be back that day
was that really my first win for the season??
First win since you have been in charge i think Hilly.
Well BP I will be using all my reserve players. Only player who will play both games is Dudek. I play my games at a fast tempo so they wont recover in time to play on monday i don't think
Actually just checked Hilly and since you have been in charge you have won 2 and lost 2
thought that....
I thought he was on 5 points..... Need to go check the ladder a bit later :P.
I might give Jones a turn in the Cup match. Turnbull has conceeded 5 goals in 2 weeks but has had good games. Jones hasn't had a shot so we'll see how he goes in the Cup 8).
happy with my 0-0 draw considering most of my first eleven werent playing 8)
i
f i win my next league match against Roar i will go as high as first on the ladder :)
Also are my players that got suspended in the league allowed to play in the cup
Pretty sure they can ZZ. Only suspended in that form of game ;).
I get this message though

There are Injured or Suspended players selected. These will be swapped automatically when the Team Sheet is submitted

Cameroon have made you a job offer to take control of the International team. You can manage both a Club and an International job at the same time. This International job offer will only be available for 48 hours after it was first offered.
You have to become a Gold Manager to accept this International job offer.
Sigh, I dont want to be a gold manager :(
Haha poor benjy. So far I have been offered the brazil, holland, and spain jobs!
You should be able to manage the national team if you are offered it :(
I always get offered Croatia for some reason :-\
I akways get Brazil & France...
i have had at least 4 offers for both teams..
England Ivory Coast Australia and Spain the most..
these 4 countries have my favourite players on them..
Good luck in the Cup tonight everybody still in :P.
CC, you're going down 8). Don't have a full strength squad but still have a few of my 1st team playing 8). Jones coming in due to Turnbull conceeding quite a few.
Won't be able to do the Cup round up :(.
Well everybody is still in apart from 2 teams. Sucks to be them :P
Why can't you do the round up HP?
I can do it if you want?
You can do the cup :). Thanks.
Been skimping on homework and now need to do some for a certain subject where we will basically have to teach ourselves for the exam :'(. Teacher is sick so we have subs and have an exam at the end of the year (with less than half the course covered).
Oh cry me a river :P
Finally completed my 2000 word assignment on obesity (that I was too lazy to do), which was originally due at 5pm today. Luckily they extended the deadline to midnight ;D
Now to have 1 night off before I have to start working on my next assignment about youth suicide prevention (I may become a statistic for that if this workload continues ;))
Well I'm not in Uni :P.

Nice 8).
Biggest name I've landed in any of my teams is Mascherano and Pepe in my Chievo side ;). But has alot of depth 8).
I got Jesus Navas at my Liverpool team, also when i got hold of them they already hat Ibrahimavic

My Villa side is by far the best. Xavi, Totti, Kanoute and Cordoba and they already had Ambrosini
I didn't start with alot of cash so had to build up :(. Same with Chievo.
Only my Almeria squad started with a hell of alot of cash.
yeah liverpool started with around 20 mill spent it all on young gun Steva Jovetic from Fiorentina
My River Plate side start with oer 150 mil :o haha
Villa didn't either. Most of them are trades. Only guy I paid for was Xavi who was too good to pass. Heskey was powered off with the old manager so I traded him for Totti. I traded the number 3 goalkeeper (Who was worth about 4.5 mill but Villa already had Stekelenburg and Friedel ahead of him) for Kanoute and I traded a couple of scrubs for Cordoba. I still have 21 million out of 35 I started with :P
Ok here is the round up for the Australian Championship Cup Quarter Finals
Gold Coast United 1 - 0 Melbourne Heart
Both teams in this fixture used mostly there second string players, but there were still some big stars on show. It was a start battle of striker Keirrison for Gold Coast against the Ausrtalian keeper Schwarzer for Heart. Although Gold Coast held more of the ball with 55% possession it was the Heart who managed the most shots, having 16 with 10 of them on target. Brad Jones had come in to the squad because Turnball had been conceding too many and he stopped them all! The only goal of the game came in the 26th minute when Keirrison got lucky, with his shot taking a wicked deflection to beat Schwarzer and win the match for Gold Coast. Keirrison was named man of the match. Thwaite also injured his back and is expected back in 2 weeks for Gold Coast, whilst Nichols received a red card after kicking his opponent.
Wellington Phoenix 1 - 2 Adelaide United
Phoenix made 9 changes to their starting lineup for this clash, but Adelaide went in with a full strength team, except for the suspended Welbeck. After seeing the lineups everyone was expecting Adelaide to have an easy time of it, but it was the Phoenix who took more shots and got more on target. Not surprisingly then that the Phoenix took an early lead after 5 minutes when Bertos scored an amazing goal that the commentator just couldn't describe! Phoenix managed to hold on all the way up until 75 minutes when Leckie scored his easiest goal ever when the ball fell to him after hitting the cross bar and he tapped it in. The Phoenix fans were then heartbroken just 7 minutes later when N'Gog scored the winner after it took a deflection. Baraja for Adelaide was named man of the match. Even more bad news for Phoenix was Macallister injured his neck and will be out for 11 days.
Melbourne Victory 0 - 0 North Queensland Fury
Victory win 3 - 0 on penalties
In a match where Victories players looked so much stronger and everyone expected a big win they just couldn't score a goal! Although only having 46% of the possession Vicotry managed to have 19 shots at goal, with 12 of them on target! Compare this to Fury's 6 shots at goal and 1 on target it is very hard to imaging why Victory had to wait till a penalty shoot out to get the win. No mention of who the scorers were in the shoot out or who missed, but man of the match was awarded to Victory keeper Mihaylov for what you must assume is saving all shots in the shoot out, because he didn't do much else!
Sydney FC 3 - 1 Brisbane Roar
This match truly was a match of boys against men. After Sydney's disappointing form in the league, manager BP had dropped his first team players for the previous league match, but brought them back for the cup game, where they looked very refreshed. On the other hand Roar made 9 changes, the only players staying in the team were keeper Dudek and CB Devere who had to be subbed at half time because he was exhausted. It was 1 nil at half time thanks to Nicky Carle, but in the first 16 minutes of the second half Sydney took a commanding lead going 3 nil up thanks to goals by Lowry and Prosenik. 2 minutes later 17 year old McEachran pulled one back for the Roar, but it wasn't enough and Sydney ran out winners in a match they dominated and the stats agreed. 66% possession to Sydney, 26 shots at goal to Roar's 17. Only 9 shots on target though for Sydney whereas Roar were better at getting their shots on target with 8. Man of the match went to keeper Storari for keeping Roar's score down to 1.
Semi Final Matches:
Melbourne Victory - Adelaide United
Sydney FC - Gold Coast United
Had a lot of players low on fitness so I changed them, happy with the effort by the boys even though we lost, 2 stiff goals though :(
Good luck to those still in ;) I'll just smash u all in the league instead :P
Joy. I get to beat up on HP again :P
Looks like I can now devote all my time to beating everyone in the league now :P
Good luck in the cup BP. You deserve to win now after beating me ;)
Prosenik has proven himself well as my Ortega replacement. Good young Chelsea youth from.
Nice write up CF.

If you notice in the round up I did say that both teams were playing with weakened teams
I only had 2 players of my first team playing.
different leagues and account all together but do you think it is worth trading Gerrard for Xavi Hernadez it will work cos im buying Xavi from an external club
Depends on who you like better. If you like Xavi more, don't see a problem.
I have Gotten Maxi Lopez and Santa Cruz in 2 different teams as they are two of my favourites :-*.
Gerrard is my fav Liverpool player but i have to admit Xavi is better plus i enjoy sayin Xavi Hernadez :P
It just rolls off the tongue....Xavi Hernandez.
Anyone interested in taking Jean Solórzano off my hands?
I got offered the Dutch job. Sadly they didn't offer me drugs and porn. Screw them
Another round. Probably another outing for the Sydney FC B-Team plus Ariel Ortega. He SHOULD be fit
Back to my A teamers for tonights match against Adelaide. Looking to consolodate my position of first place with a win over third place
i think u might win cos i had an SMFA cup match last nght wich probs brought my players fatigue down :(
Yeah maybe zz, but also playing them in the cup didn't help you at all! You need to play your b teamers sometimes to keep fitness up
wanted to stay in the cup though :\ most my guys have around 85% fatigue lowest being 79% a few are around 95-98 % fatigue
lowest level of fatigue for my starting XI for tonights match is 88 and then a 90. The other 9 starters all have 96% or more.
Going by what you said about your players fatigue levels, does that mean you wont be playing Dodd and Thiago?
Dear Melbourne Victory manger,
I am sorry I hijacked your bid for Christian Eriksen, and then once my bid was accepted instead of yours I canceled the deal. Please feel free to bid for him again. I promise I wont bid on him again.
Yours sincerely,
CrowsFan
Hahahahaha cheers CF.
Don't worry mate i'm going after someone else.
You go for him ;D

Dodd is injured and Thiago is the player with 79% i thought
Haha I thought it was you. Nah I canceled the deal cos I found someone better. Please don't hijack my bid now :P
Who are you going for now?
Oh I didn't notice Dodd was injured. Well for me it says Thiago is at 71, but maybe I don't get the same update as you since it is your team?
A few players :P
huge clean out of my squad will effect my wage bill a bit tho
You were right CF Tiahgo is at 71% :)
Is it better to play a player at 80% fatigue with a rating of 80
OR
play a player with a rating of 78 with a fatigue of 100%
I'd play the 78 guy. My rule of thumb is anything below 85-87 and they don't play. If they're 87 or above they can come off the bench and if they're over 90 they can start

I agree with BP, Less fatigue the better :). For my players, I try not to play anybody under 95% fatigue. 90% as a bare minimum.
Going in with a fairly weak defence and midfield. Jones has kept his spot in the lineup for his first league game ahead of Turnbull. If he conceeds though, we might not see him again for league matches for a long time ;).
The Round Up will be up sometime tommorrow evening as I have school :P.
argh 1-1 all drsw but got a red card :(
I won 3-0, And how amazing has Ronaldo been picking up another Man of the Match.
2-2 for Sydney. Rukastvya is finally off the mark and Proesenik scored again. He's a 17 year old from Chelsea and he's my number one goal scorer.
A comfortable 2-1 victory for me. Now 3 points clear at the top :)
Also my bid for Sergio Canales from Real Madrid has been accepted. He is one of the hottest young talents in Spain at the moment and will be my highest ranked player to add to my already impressive forward set up
HP did me a favor in our spanish league too. He beat third place so I'm 5 points clear in second

Well I am top ;). Good luck catching me this late in the comp :P. Have a well balanced squad with Saviola, Negredo and Huntelaar scoring and assisting each other :D. All have over 10 goals and 10 assists a piece 8).
Was hoping for a win but don't mind a draw. Top half of the table will do for me now.....
The Roundly Round Up, Round 6:
Sydney vs Victory - A few stars return to the Sydney lineup after last round but wasn't enough to lift them to the win. Both sides fought Valiantly to finish in a deadlocked, 2-2 draw. Game only heated up just before half time when Kakuta scored the first of his double. Sydney knew what they had to do after the half time break and fired back quickly in great fashion threw man of the match, Prosenik. 4 minutes later Kakuta put Victory ahead only to be equalised in the 69th minute by Rukavytsya. Each team picked up 1 injury a piece. Byun from Sydney pulled a claf and is out for 5 weeks. Will be sorely missed. Victory was hit worse with Williams likely to miss 6+ weeks with a gashed arm. This will really test both the teams depth down back.
Adelaide vs Roar - The Roar continued on there way clearly on top of the ladder with a solid 2-1 win. Only league defeat to date has been to GC in which they almost snatched the win. Jeffren and Sturridge scored early to let the Roar go into the half time break with a 2-0 lead. In the 60th minute, Adelaide got back into the game with a Baraja goal. But that was as close as it got. Sturridge was named man of the match in a good match. Roar maintained possession, however Adelaide took 7 more shots.
GC vs Glory - My personal pick for match of the round (unbiased). Very close possession game and there was plenty of shots firing keeping the crowd entertained. Only 2 of the 34 shots fired between both the teams managed to find the back of the net, and they were 2 minutes between each other. 54th minute saw Ferrante and a minute later was quickly nullified by Palanca who was the man of the match. It was unfortunate that the GC couldn't capatilise on the N'Diaye red card early in the second half. Twas a great game with the Glory players probably trumping the GC players on the day.
Fury vs Jets - Nobody expects much from the Jets this season. Their manager was handed the reins a few games in and hasn't been able to lift the side up in the league yet. Sitting at the bottom of the table and it shouldn't with the Fury standing tall in the 3-nil defeat. Powell and Busch scored in the first half and Cernak finished it off in the 82nd minute. The defender Nelson though was handed man of the match for his dominant display. Fury controlled possession and therefore the tempo of the game at which they played. No injuries to report out of the game which is a good sign.
Pheonix vs Heart - Picked as one of the pre matches of the round, wasn't as close as expected. Heart had a fairly easy time with the 3-0 win. Had 56% of the possession and had 17 shots on goal to 5. Ronalda has been on a streak lately. Scored the first goal and had a great all round game handing him the man of the match for the time this season. Hoffman scored 9 minutes later with a good goal. After the break Thompson put the cherry on top for the Heart's third goal. A special mention to Schwarzer who also had a good game blocking all 5 shots the Pheonix took.
End of round 6:
Kewell, Sturridge and Ronaldo top the goal scorers list with 4 goals a piece.
Ronaldo has clearly been the best performer over the first 6 rounds averaging a rating of 8.83 :o. Also leads with 3 man of the matches performances.
Keirrason tops the assists given with 4.
Nice write up as usual HP.
Will be looking forward to the weekends clash against Victory. Should be a tough test
Thanks.
I'm versing Hilly next round. As much as I want for him to bounce back, I want to smash my opponents :P. Aggressive orders from me 8).
I really don't like teams who set their tackling orders to hard or aggressive! It just raises the chance of the opposition players getting injured
I don't like playing soft orders ::).
I'll stick to hard or normal then :'(. Until we get depth to our squads 8).
Yeah I just stick to normal except the other day in the cup with Blackburn. We were playing against Liverpool who were 3rd in div 1 and we were 2nd in div 2. I set the orders to aggressive cos I hate liverpool haha. We won too
Yeah CF I think you will win. Alot of my players are out

Not that sorely missed. While noone likes an injury the one spot on the field I could really afford someone going down in is left back with Tiatto and Babayaro as backups
Yeah injuries to 3 players doesn't help, especially when one of them is your best player in Holman.
Looks like you will be the first to see if you can withstand the assault of my young and energetic front 4, with Sergio Canales just completing his transfer.
Most likely to line them up like this:
Canales - Wilkshere - Jeffren
Sturridge
However they are all capable of swapping positions with each other to keep your defenders on their toes. Between them the average age is just 20, and are all rated 85 except Canales who is rated 87

Too late. You ruined it :P
Haha gee thats a gun striking line
Thanks reesbr. Not any star players like other teams have, but all pretty solid
What does the manager ranking thing mean? It says my ranking is 1/10, but reesbr's is 9/10. I don't understand what they mean at all?
Someone with a rating of 86 that is 21
OR
Someone with a rating of 90 that is 29 and last rating change went down 1
86 rating ..has the abilty to go higher and will get more game time outa him
Who are the players? Can you afford the wage of the guy rated 90? Plus how much does each one cost?
Im doing a swap so it doesnt really matter, the younger guys have got a lower wage so i want to get them with the possibilty of them improving,
The young players are the mexican young gun Giovanni
and the other Obertan
I wanna get Giovanni Dos Santos cos of a cooler name :P
Dos santos i reckon and nice name which helps ;)
Yeah go for either Obertan or Dos Santos then, mainly cos of the wage issue.
If the two transfers im trying to do go through no more original Adelaide United players will be in my starting 11 besides Barberrio :o

The best managers in the league have higher numbers. It compares wins in the league and cup to calculate I think. Better to be higher ;).
So why have I only got 1 when I am first on the ladder?
Means you are the best manager in the league currently. That's a very good achievement 8). Try to keep it up. If you win matches, more likely to maintain it ;). But Winning cup matches also ups your manager rankings.
I was ranked 10 when I was dead last :-X. Moved up to 4th I think.
well wen i win the cup i should get my ranking up a fair bit 8)
You'll have to go through me :P.
Don't forget the prize money ;). And also will have your name as current winner in that comp until next season when somebody else wins it ;).
I'm coming 2nd and my manger ranking is 8/10
Oh haha my bad I thought you meant by higher numbers that you meant like 8 or 9.
Well just so everybody can see where they are here are the manager rankings then:
1 - CrowsFan (Brisbane Roar)
2 - hawka26 (North Queensland Fury)
3 - chrisuzz (Adelaide United)
=4 - Hellopplz (Gold Coast United)
=4 - BratPack (Sydney FC)
6 - BOOMZ (Perth Glory)
7 - HillHero13 (Newcastle Jets)
8 - Capt Cunners (Melbourne Heart)
9 - reesbr (Melbourne Victory)
10 - benjy251090 (Wellington Phoenix)
Also goes on recent form I think ???. Cup runs that don't last for long aren't good.....

Oh was he on Football Superstar? Which sesason? I don't remember him.
Nah I am keeping him, he is my back up left back, so that I have 2 players in each position
I just checked CC and if you specifically want a left back there are a fair few on who only cost 10k and are under 21. You just need to search for them
Quote from: CrowsFan on October 15, 2010, 06:32:29 PM

Think it was first season. But Roar signed him soon after. A success story from the show ;). Along with that guy Steven who signed with the GC when he didn't win. When they played GC before they joined, the coach already said if he doesn't win he'll have a place for him there ;D. Nice fall back option for him :P.
Yeah I remember that thing about Steven. He was also a LB wasn't he?

About the same for me. I sub off 1 or 2 of my main guys (Keirra or Kewell so they can play 2 games a week). That what happened this week. Kierra set to play on Sunday morning 8).
Another Sunday morning league game. Another fun-filled installment of "Adventures of the Sydney FC B-Team". Only Ortega, Bridge and Storari are at a level of "Ready to play" for me, which means Prosenik keeps his spot again :P He may score again
My team is at full strength for tonights match. Everyone has a fatigue level above 90, which is good enough for me, except my RB who will get subbed at half time. Hopefully will be picking up the win against 8th placed Melbourne Victory
Nice BP :P. Will be putting up quite some strong players. But some will be rested for the Cup game ;). Have about 9 players ready at 100% fitness 8). Others a little over 90 so will be subbed off normally ;).
I (Heart) really need Victory to beat Roar tonight.

That has probably been the most exciting match in the league so far too!
Down 3 nil, then get it back to 3-2, you score, then I score then you score again to finish 4-3!
That's impossible from 3-2 with 3 more goals to end with 4-3 :P. Was sure exciting and very high scoring game.
Lets see if I can do it again tommorrow morning.
Haha yes you are right. You did not score again at the end, i just got excited writing about it haha :P
Lol :P. Early lead paid off 8).
can you watch matches?? and when do they finish..
Not sure if you can actually watch matches, mainly because I have never been awake when the matches are played. They start at 5 in the morning I think
Can't watch the matches :(. Can look at commentary though and match stats. Finishes Around 6am in the morning from what I can say. Stayed up during the holidays to do homework and was updated by 7am but wasn't like that at 5am. So somewhere inbetween there.
oh.. i thought it was australian time..
Nah unfortunately not hilly
going in with a weeker side once again, to rest my players for the upcoming cup match 8)
Am hoping some of my transfers go through also :)
Same :(. Most are 100% fit but resting some guys on 95% fitness ;).
Sorry Hilly but Kewell and Keirrason are up forward for me 8). I hope they don't play quitely as I set my team on very attacking ;).
Muller is getting a good rest before he comes in for the Cup game. 1 week it was Keirrason. Next it's Muller. If I make it to the final, Kewell will be playing there 8).
HP please correctly spell Keirrison for once! It is really starting to annoy me :P
Sorry I just have an OCD thing about spelling
So it's Keirrason right? :P.
Wondering when somebody was going to pick that up..... I usually get confued with the e and i first :P. I'll just call him Keirra from now on then ;D.
OK I will accept Keirra as a nickname then ;)
Italy just made me a job offer :(
I won 2-0.

Heart vs Victory
The Battle For Melbourne
With Melbourne only having one soccer team in the A-League for a long time you would think that when a new Melbourne team named the Melbourne Heart came along they would get no support. Well how you are wrong.
The Victory are really struggling at the moment, they are sitting bottom of the ladder, with a lot of injuries and a lot of players who aren't fit. They only have 1 player in there squad who is not transfer banned, which is saying the have been very active on the Transfer Market but to this time to no prevail. Their main man/ Marquee player is sitting on the pine injured (Holman) and man how much do the Victory need there boy at the moment. Victory are in a lot of trouble and i can't see it getting any easier for them playing 3rd place Perth in their next game. It seems that Victory have taken a youth approach trading away all their experienced players for young kids, The jury on that is still out, but at the moment i can see which way they are swaying.
Heart on the other hand are sitting second, They have had a few transfers but not as many as Victory. Although Heart have had a lot of big signings in the Offseason and up until this date they have managed to sign, Neill, Schwarzer, Rivas, Henrique, Carney, Bresciano, El Zhar and possibly the biggest of them all Ronaldo. Ronaldo has been in absolutely amazing form since joining the Heart in the offseason, he is leading the league in Goals (tied with Bridges and Sturridge)., Leading the Man of the Matches with 4. up there in assists. The Heart manager Capt Cunners is just really impressed with his performances. With the Heart manager openly declaring there will be another big name coming to Heart in the coming days it can only go up for Heart.
How much longer can the Victory fans stand being at the bottom of the ladder, losing players through injury, seeing their biggest rivals climb up the ladder and sign big name players???
You would think the Victory manager would have to do something big and fast, because it is really not looking good for them.
Surely soon something must give in and Heart will become the Number 1 club in Melbourne. The vast majority of people in Melbourne barrack for the Victory but how long until this will change??

I won 2-0.
Ronaldo has done it again scoring another Goal, Becoming Man of the Match with a Rating of 10!!
Is there anything this man can't do!?
He's averaged a rating of 9 :o. This might get him back into the sights of the big teams :P. Keirra isn't that bad either averaging a 8.67 8). Next best is below 8 ;D.
Dissappointing loss to the Jets. Should had it in the bag but Bridges hattrick screwed me :(. Kewell and Keirra are at least a productive forward line. 4 goals each and 4 assists each ;D. Need to stop conceeding so many goals :'(. Back onto the bench for you Turnbull >:(.

Are you going to do a round Review HP?

Round 7 Round Up:
Roar Vs Victory - A very entertaining match even though the Roar dominated in almost all aspects of the game. Kakuta put Victory in front early but Just before and after half time, Sturridge and Wilshere score to help the Roar continue on their winning ways. They have only lost 1 match this season and look to be the run away leaders. Grenier from the Victory is set to be out for 3 weeks but shouldn't affect them if at full strength. Strurridge was handed man of the match.
Glory Vs Adelaide - Similar to the first match. Glory dominated for most of the game and took alot more shots. But it was Adelaide who struck first through Leckie. Vincent fired 25 minutes later and super sub, Jaqua, finished it off in the 58 minute with a cheeky toe poke. It was E. Johnson who received man of the match though. Coming out of the match though is bad news for Glory fans. Palanca is set to be out for a huge 5 weeks which will see the Glory suffer without one of their stars.
Jets Vs GC - Probably the most entertaining match of the round. Although it ended at 4-2 with the Jets winning, Bridges Hattrick was breathtaking to watch which also handed him the man of the match rightfully so. Throughout the match, Jets dominated possession however, Gold Coast were firing at will almost. Bridges hattrick came in the first half along with Keirrison's double. Going into half time, the fans were getting their money's worth with a 3-2 lead. D'Apuzzo added to the fans delight sealing the win a few minutes from full time.
Heart Vs Fury - Heart had a fairly easy time with this 2-nil win. They have now moved up to 13 place and look the most likeliest to actually get to the top and dismantle to roar. El Zhar struck before half time to give them the lead which was finalised midway throught he second half by the man of the match, yet again, Ronaldo. Even though he was subbed off, didn't stop him from having another stunning game. He has certainly been a class above the others this season. He helped the Heart maintain 63% of the possession. No cards and no injuries from this match.
Pheonix Vs Sydney - Shots were flying everywhere and the match was fairly even the entire way through, but nobody could get on the scoreboard!! In a fairly quite match, nothing much happened besides shots. Kassim should be happy he got the Man Of The Match although both the Keepers were in fine form. No injuries and only yellow cards.
Pick for Match Of The Round next week: GC vs Heart no doubt.

Mario Gomez got injured for my Osasuna side. He's out the rest of the season :'(

Heart vs Victory
The Battle For Melbourne
With Melbourne only having one soccer team in the A-League for a long time you would think that when a new Melbourne team named the Melbourne Heart came along they would get no support. Well how you are wrong.
The Victory are really struggling at the moment, they are sitting bottom of the ladder, with a lot of injuries and a lot of players who aren't fit. They only have 1 player in there squad who is not transfer banned, which is saying the have been very active on the Transfer Market but to this time to no prevail. Their main man/ Marquee player is sitting on the pine injured (Holman) and man how much do the Victory need there boy at the moment. Victory are in a lot of trouble and i can't see it getting any easier for them playing 3rd place Perth in their next game. It seems that Victory have taken a youth approach trading away all their experienced players for young kids, The jury on that is still out, but at the moment i can see which way they are swaying.
Heart on the other hand are sitting second, They have had a few transfers but not as many as Victory. Although Heart have had a lot of big signings in the Offseason and up until this date they have managed to sign, Neill, Schwarzer, Rivas, Henrique, Carney, Bresciano, El Zhar and possibly the biggest of them all Ronaldo.

Cheers CF really appreciate it
Milan Jovanovic has arrived!! Watch out boys!
Dagnabit. Ortega isn't fit. He'll have to come off the bench.
Oh well....Guess Prosenik plays again

BP, you should have me. Turnull is giving the bench a nice warm spot next 3 matches after conceeding so many ::). Jones comes in.
Only him and 2 other players are rated 80+, Others being De Laet and Muller.
Now need to look at buying some dpeth players (rated low 70's) as most of my bench is under 90% fatigue :'(.
I need to do the same HP but ive got no cash :'(
If i win tonights game all my players will get a two game rest before the final 8) but im gonna get killed in the league games :'(
Prosenik IS my depth guy. :P He's rated 72. But other than him it's the A-Team.
Looks like it'll be an uphill battlke for me *gulp.

Haha pretty sure you can play loaned players, but they were already cup tied since they had played for me in the cup sorry

My Heart made the quarter finals of the SMFA Cup :D
I've got a big game tonight, and i am making an announcement that Jovanovic WILL debut tonight against the Gold Coast
ive bidded for a few big names..
Ameobi
Carlos Vela
Fabio Borini
Michael Owen
Sergio Roberto.. not too big but plays for Bacelona so is pretty good..
i am still waiting for responses..
i play Adelaide tonight.. hopefully i can upset them and continue my rise up the Australian Championship 330 table!
How on earth can you afford all those players hilly? :o
:o :o :o
CF will be no doubt pleased to hear I'll be resting some of my players, Rukastvya, Ortega and Brosque all spell till the cup final but Andy Van Der Meyde will debut for Sydney tonight
In other cup final news, I'm pleased to report that the cult villian of Sydney. "Holy Diver" Materazzi is bang on schedule to make his comeback game in the final

Oh I just checked, and you are offering player swaps.
You have also offered the same players for both Ameobi and Vela so you will only get one. Might as well decide which one you would prefer and withdraw your offer for the other player
Also Fabio Borini isn't a big player at all!

That is very good news ;D
I just checked and all of my starting XI have 100% fitness except Jeffren who is on 97 I think.
Andy van der meyde used to have so much potential when he was younger, shame he never really became as good as he could have
i know him so his big..
i dont know like heaps so i know him...
i know ill see if they get accepted.. id rather vela but i wouldnt really care..
If you submit a bid which is worth the same or more than what the chairman of the other clubs values him at he will be accepted. So both the offers will be accepted, but once the first one has been accepted the other offer will be canceled
i know that.. as i said i dont mind either of them..
You should cancel the offer for ameobi and just go for vela because:
• He is rated higher
• He is younger
• He can play as both a winger or forward
alright will do..
Good. You're going to have quite a formidable forward line with Vela and Owen!
Adelaide United Manager will you please loan me Leckie??

Just was confirming my couple of transfers I'm doing (Role players so my A-Team can rest on Saturday) when I got a message saying I got a rating change
The change pretains to my French Defender Maxine Chanot, a 20 year old role player who was only signed because he only cost $295 in wages
He was that low cause he only rated a 62. But the rating change gave him +13. I now have a 75 rated defender for 4 years for $295 ;D
geee what happened for that to happen?
thats all rite ree but if u rely rely desparley dieing for him ;) outbid me but il be happy to have him alot ;D
Haha you have him mate

Have with Chievo 8). But they have a larger league so took 36 rounds (18 weeks). This one should take a much shorter time. My guess with 9 teams to face twice, 18 rounds. Maybe 9 weeks from the start? Probably will finish next month if not by early December. Will check the schedule when I get to setting my GC team this round :).
No HP, they didn't mean how long will the season take to finish, but after the season is finished how long is it before the next season starts
Oh. Maybe a few days or so.
We finish on the 24th of November and will likely start back up early December if not Late November. You have like 2 weeks to get the team sorted out before the first match is played.
RONALDO'S INJURED!!!!!
Although he did score the winner.

I saw that. He is out for 4 weeks too!! Which means he will miss the next 8 matches, which is almost the rest of the season. What are you going to do?

Unlucky :(. At least you beat me. But at the cost of your star player ;).
A few blowouts :o. I'll write up the round up in a bit.
hm... I'm really missing my injured & suspended players.. i get the suspended one back soon & Diarra on the 28th so I'll have close to a full strength side soon ;D
I'm playing you on saturday boomz :)
Just the one injury for me, and he should be back in 9 days apparently
Yep & u will most likely thrash me lol
I wouldn't say that. You are third after all
Yeah but without my stars im very inconsistent...

Owen Bridges Vela up front..
Haliti Mckay and Matic in the midfield..
So your going to play a 4-3-3 then hilly?
Woo I won!!
The Victory are back!
Oh know I think I am the first team to face Hilly!
Haha that's unfortunate reesbr.

P.S Sorry can't do the round up this round. Been sick since I came home today. Went for a sleep before which just made it all worse ::). Coupled with the heat, haven't been able to concentrate on anything :(.
Its okay HP get better soon :)
Expect an easy win this upcoming game CC :)
Thanks ZZ.
Only CC can rival CF this season :P.

shhhh it was a spelling error
BP my whole A-team has a fatigue of 100% except for Favalli who is at 81% cos he had to play the last game and they will be all rest in this upcoming league fixture, are u doing the same thing?
They're not at 100% But the A-Team isn't playing tonight so they will be by the final.
And it will truly be the A-Team. "Holy Diver" will make his comeback.
versuing BP 2nite and then zz hopin they play there B teams
Lucky you hawka since they probably will. Should get 2 wins then :)
playing reesbr..
get ready for a thumping!
Haha bring it Hilly!
Most of my players are at 70%
mine are around 90-100%
Set my tactics then. Ready to smash the Jets
Looks like you get to be the first to try and contain Owen and Vela then reesbr. Good luck ;)

Setting my tactics now... Going with a different set up again this week... Watch out :P
Quietly confident that I can contain Hillys 2 stars
What am I watching out for boomz? :P
Changing your tactics each week isn't good cos your players won't get settled...
what formation you start with reesbr?
i don't know if you can there reesbr.. they are too big of stars..
Haha 4-1-3-2 you?
4-3-3
haha CF I'm not changing them that much... just a few things ;) Can't wait to get Diarra back ;D but I'm gonna keep him well rested this time so he doesn't get injured again lol

You'll beat me. There are no starters for my team playing, not even Storari. My starting XI is rated just 73 :P
Play Storari. Keepers aren't really effected by fatigue so doesn't matter if you play him or not!! Could even find some good form going into the Cup match ;).
Not sure how my team is going to cope without Ronaldo tonight.
That's what he gets for scoring the winner against me :P.
Just to add, All 3 of Muller, Keirra and Kewell will be playing :D. Da Laet was set to play Cup games but getting a gig beside Pantelidis 8). Also, Jones has held of Turnbull for 1 last chance to show why he should remain at the helm.
If he conceeds less than 1 goal in his matches, he'll stay in 8).
Okay. I'll put Storari back in to keep him warm despite the temptation to play Mark Bosnich :P
Talking about him.......Gonna Coach Fury for a match!!! :o.
I am playing Matt Fry against Jets. He is rated only 73 so I am not expecting to win
going with a 4-3-2-1 agian ...my captain nelsen wasnt gona play 2nite due to a low fitness lvl but il play him at 93 and he will go off after 1 hour beginin with a averge rating of 80
Hah mine's 75 and that's only cause Storari's 88 bumps it up 2 points :P
just a lazy 1-0 win..
Vela with the only goal..
2-1 win, Jovanovic stepped up without Ronaldo netting 2 goals.
Match of the Season coming up next Game round with Heart vs Roar.
I won every single match this morning except for my A League one :'(. A 2-1 is disappointing considering I had a pretty good solid lineup. Guess Turnbull has to come back in since Jones conceeded more than 1 >:(.
The Round Up will be up after lunch.

When getting an image on google, go to the full size picture since it is shown on a page by itself.
I want Heart to win just because I feel alone when I'm the only team that beat you. You are the run away leader ::).
Thanks for fixing that Crowsfan.
I was going to do a write up on out match with exactly with you did as the start the Roar logo V Heart logo.
Well feel free to do it :) I look forward to reading what you have to say about it
Quote from: CrowsFan on October 24, 2010, 11:48:44 AM

Yeah will do.
Probably after lunch sometime
I should've lost by more so I'm happy enough & next match N'Diaye is back ;D
Haha what happened to I will beat you? Now you are happy with a loss?? That doesn't make sense
haha nah I'm not happy with it but looking at the stats u dominated so I'm happy i only lost by 1 ;)
Haha ok. Yeah I have noticed with all my matches that I seem to struggle to score lots of goals even when I dominate the stats. Only twice have I scored 3 or more goals and that was against HP when I lost 4-3 and when I beat you in the first round of the cup when we used our B teams
After a week on standby, the Round Round-Up is back:
Pretty close round without any blowouts this round. Also, signals the halfway point in the season.
Glory VS Roar - Was hyped up as a potential match of the round, and you can say it didn't let down! Glory have been a suprise packet this season with an early jump until Roar and Heart locked in the top 2 places. Glory did go down against the Roar in this match but at least they went down fighting. Roar dominated possession however, Glory tested the keeper on a few occasions. Canales opened the scoring early with a fumble from Tokgoz. Jaqua put the teams on even termswhen he heads in a goal. However, the comeback was ended in the 62nd minute when Jeffren scored. Jeffren had a good match and was named man of the match. Roar come out of the match with 1 injury to Murdocca, set to be out for 3 weeks.
Jets VS Victory - Jets prior to this round brought in the likes of Owen and Vela to make for one hell of a forward line alongside Bridges. They didn't let down with both being rated 9 and Vela scoring before half time. However, this is the only goal scored in this match. Owen was named man of the match ahead of Vela. Victory were pretty misbehaved with the 2 yellow cards capped off with Zadkovich being sent off in the 60th minute. It was a pretty close match but suprisingly, Jets could only get off 6 shots to Victory's 11. What is even worse, it that Victory is still on the bottom of the table which suprises many.
Heart VS United - Heart going into their first match without their main man, Ronaldo. How would they cope? They sure coped pretty well even though they conceeded an early goal to Leckie. A double from recently signed Jovanovic soon after (10th and 53rd) put the Heart in a comfortable position which they held off any more attacks. Even though he was subbed off, Jovanovic still received the man of the match with a 10 point rating. I wouldn't be suprised if he pulls a Ronaldo and goes on a rating frenzy. Adelaide's depth down back took a little hit with Drublionis out for up to 4 weeks. Heart is really pushing for the number 1 position and could decide it next week against the Roar.
Phoenix VS Gold Coast - This was set up as a bottom of the table clash (close enough). Wellington showed though that they are going to try and overleap some other teams with a 2-1 win. They maintained possession at a whopping 65% of the time and made their 6 shots count (compared to GC's 13, 8 on target). Nicky Ward got on the board early through the weak defensive lineup. After half time, Pheonix stretched out their lead to 2-0 with Diego adding another to the board. Keirrison then put Gold Coast with some chance in the 66th minute but to no avail. No injuries and not many cards in a match where Jassim was handed the man of the match.
Fury VS Sydney - Sydney went into the match understrength seeing as they have the cup final coming up. A Featherstone goal though was enough to get them the 3 points. Storari was set to take a breather before the Cup match but was convinced to play the match. This was a brilliant move as he was named man of the match with a 9 point rating. He's in fine form before the Cup final which could tip the table in Sydney's way. Van Der Meyde was set off halfway through the first half. Sergio Gomez from Fury is set to miss 3 weeks, while Camilleri from the Sky Blues is set to miss 5 weeks. Both are depth players soshouldn't be missed a whole lot, however, teams are starting to pile up on the injuries.
Stas Update:
Leading Goal Scorer with 6 is still Ronaldo. He should get overtaken since he will be out for the majority of the rest of the season. Bridges, Keirrison and Sturridge are snipping at his boots with 5 a piece.
Best average performers is of course Ronaldo, at 9.12. Doubt anybody could catch him unless Jovanovic starts going on a streak. Keirrison is the closest at 8.25 and they are the only 2 players above 8.
Suprisingly, the best playmakers come from 3 teams, even though they are 5 players! Glory are represented with Palanca and Johnson, Gold Coast have Keirrision and Kewell while the Roar have Wilkshere up there. All have 4 assists each.
Leading man of the match is of course Ronaldo with 5. Closest rivals here only have 3, with them being Jeffren and Jassim.
Aurtenetxe from Victory has received the most yellow cards with 3.

I love to play attacking football. Might try defensive considering I have probably conceeded the most :P.
Another great Round up HP
Thanks CC. Did it before lunch as I have alot of work to do after :(.
B-TEAM! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
happy with the 2-1 lose to Heart seeing as it was my B-Team 8)
None of my players are in the stats but that doesnt worry me cos we arent a bunch of superstars we are a superstar team 8)

With the Match of the Season only days away, all of Australia is getting excited. Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Heart will battle hard this coming Wednesday Night.
These 2 teams are the top 2 teams in the comp and these 2 will certainly finish 1st and 2nd as the have ran away from the rest of the competition. Roar are sitting 1st on 22 points and Heart are 2nd on 19. 3rd is the Glory on 13 points giving you some idea of how far the others teams are behind these 2.
Brisbane Roar are in great form winning there last 4 games. They have built a strong well rounded squad this season. Some of there top signings have been, Canales, Sturridge and Wilkshire. All great young players that can only get better. Last time they played the Heart was in round 1 of the season which they won 1-0, with Jeffern grabbing the late winner.
Melbourne Heart have gone more the route of buying experienced players, some of there notable signings include, Ronaldo, Schwarzer, Jovanovic, Neill and Henrique. Melbourne Heart have also won there past 4 matches.
The big story coming from Melbourne is Ronaldo's injury and how they would cope with him out, they tried Jovanovic up front who got 2 goals so that area seems to be covered for the time being.
You would think that the winner of this match would go on and win the A-League and receive this:
(http://blogs.smh.com.au/sport/A-League%20ring.jpeg)
It all sets up for a truly amazing game.
Tuesday mornings match will be better 8) ;)
I'm looking forward to the match CC :)
Obviously both our teams have changed a bit since round 1 so can't really go on past results.
I'm just hoping that since it is 1 v 2 that a large crowd turns up so I get lots of money :)
Hoping for a sellout in my 52k stadium haha
wow in my Liverpool team Stevan Jovetic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic both recieved match ratings of 10 :o :o
Nice preview CC. Should be very interesting.
Nice ZZ 8). I once had most of my Almeria squad get a 10 rating. But that was like a 9-0 drubbing :P.
was only a 3-0 win and Ibra didnt evan score a goal
Maybe got some assists?
awh yeh der ::) ::)
just took control of a liverpool team.. with my other account..
with 402 million pounds!!!!
OMG
spending spree!!
that is just :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
do they have decnt players already also??
what season are they up to??
yes decent players.. got a pretty good team..
season 10 or something..
what is the average stratin 11 rating?? usually its harder to buy the good players when it gets to later seasons
yeah i searched for transfers and all awesome players are unavailable..
i need a few.. i might just leave.. and manage a different club..
avg rating is 92..
yeh u gotta pm the managers and pay hefty fees
paying hefty fees wont matter when you have 402 mil!
im gonna get a new club..
to many unavailable for transfer.. cant be bothered with contacting the manager...
Don't much care for leagues that are already stocked ::). Like starting in new leagues or ones that are still young and can still buy talent without the big teams hogging all the players ::).
hahaha the Australian Championship Cup Final is being played at Wembley Stadium
Haha well that seems a little ridiculous! Wonder if you will get a sell out?
that would be good for finacial resons but i doubt it will happen
Could be game of the year. Both teams at full 100% power and the best possible sides on the park. We shall give them a cup final to remember uzz.
You're still going to lose :P but we'll give them one to remember

Let me just stop you there. That is an incorrect statement. To be able to say the best possible sides were on the park then Brisbane would need to be playing :P
U wish CF
And we will BP expect a hatrick from one of my players ;)
Go Sydney!!!

Bridges to come on during the game..
Brosque! ;D
just a question at the end of the yr do we get any money ??
Yep. You get more if you finish higher up the ladder
I better start winning then :D
hopefully i can climb up the ladder then ;D

Galeckovic
Montoya,kisnorbo,Neill,McCarthy
Valeri

Just had my bid accepted for German wunderkid Moritz Leitner :)
He is 17 and has currently only got a rating of 75, but plays for 1860 Munich who are in the second division in Germany. According to the game the German second division is the next to be updated so I expect his rating to go up very soon ;D

I've already won 2 cups with Chievo, 1 with Almeria and now hopefully another next season with GC 8). I'll just butter the cup so it'll slip to me ;).
Nice CF 8). Hopefully he goes up like a 5+ jump.
Yeah that would be nice :) then he would be a solid bench player for me :)
Oh and about the cup don't worry guys because I will be doing the double next year ;)
I am the Barcelona of this game :P
Back to the league tonight as the second half of the season begins as Sydney FC, weary, jetlagged and mostly drunk take on the Gold Coast.
A lot of the B-Team are in but some of the cup winning side still remain. Nicky Carle, Rukastvya, Musalik, Jamieson, Storari and Cole are all still in. Sadly Edgar Davids and my other signing probably won't make it in time....something about Edgar's glasses not making it through customs.
I'm trying something new tonight so might not be a high scoring match :P. Hopefully it frustrates your team a bit ;).
Clash of the year tonight with Roar hosting Heart.
If I win then I will be 6 points clear at the top. If Heart win they will go on top because of goal difference
It's a shame there is no spots to play this with you guys. :<
you came a bit late because alex left and i i took the spot..
im very happy with what ive accomplished with this team..
coming up to the top 4!!

So am I CC.
I just looked at your team, and I hadn't realised it was that strong!
You're just lucky Ronaldo is our CF :P.
That's true, but then again Jovanovic does seem like a very good replacement...
Jovanovic usually starts on the wing, but because Ronaldo is out Jovanovic comes to Striker and Hoffman plays on the wing.
And yes, my team s very strong

It's a shame there is no spots to play this with you guys. :<
Yep next spot that opens is yours.
Im happy to quit my Athletic Madrid side to join a new league with everyone aslong as it is starting at season 1 and is not the A League :)
Try going for a English league with all of us?
yeah even if we all went in div2 or 3
we should do it.. i want to make one..
maybe someone make a league with the big european teams.. and alot of us can play..
il b happy to join but i gota start another account dont wana get rid of leeds and yes HH its alexnadre pato
I'd be up for another one not too attached to the other team I manage...
yeh same BOOMZ, Someone that is in the A League is a gold manager from memory i think so maybve they could start a league where we can take all the spots
we could just find a english league or world league that has no repuation requuirements that season starts soon with alot of teams stil availbe

This is how we got the A League one. Might as well save the money and do this.
I'll be willing to step down from Almeria to do this :). Just clinched the Div 2 title and promotion. Built a decent side but wouldn't mind stepping down once I get that title next to my account ;).
i just started a new1 account
Quote from: hawka26 on October 27, 2010, 06:50:19 PM
i just started a new1 account
I've already done that :P. One is under my real name while one is under Hello Pplz :P.
1 is under sam the other is under samuel :P
Both of mine under the same name
i might be able to..
im not too sure..
ill ask my parent if i can get a gold membership..
Don't worry about it Hilly.
I'll look for one a bit later when I'm done with my work.
I now have a better defence!! Just came on and saw one of my 75 rated players got a rating update:
Alessandro CRESCENZI +5 80 - Worth almost 3 mil ;D.
Davids made it. But alas he's not match fit. My other transfer just got accepted too. Expect a new striker for Sydney FC come tomorrow
I see you are bringing in David Suazo BP.
Another strong forward enters the A League. I wonder what all the defenders are thinking!!
After all the hype surrounding the Roar v Heart match it ends in a bore draw, 0-0!!
Don't know how you managed a draw though CC, when I had 14 shots on target to your 2!
I beat HP for the third time this year ;D
Nice job BP! You must be his bogey team!
yay I won :D Johnson with 2 goals MOTM :D
Yeah i would love to join another league

Dang It!!! My players are just >:( >:( >:(. Gonna get to some dropping.
What league would we be like to take over?
I have never played this game before mind you so I have no idea what I'll be doing :P

We have already taken over a league
I'm trying to get in some Legends of the Modern Game in :P. Going to be pretty hard with Werder keeping the core ;).
Check the Soccer manager 2nd league thread.
Rukavytsya had a ratings pop 80-->82 ;D
Sorry guys. Still been very sick but with something else :'(. Coupled with the heat and other stuff, just couldn't concentrate enough. Will try to get to the next round round up since I should be free on Saturday for the long weekend.
That's alright HP. Nothing interesting to write about since I had a draw :P
You seem to be in the wars at the moment. Hope you get better before your exams :)
Lol CF :P. Yeah very bad time. Am usually always sick but have attended school for a record amount of days this year :P. Hopefully I can better soon but who knows :'(. Thanks :).
That guy I bought the other day has improved by 3. Was hoping for more than that, but 3 is still good :)
A comfortable 3-0 win for me with my B-Side out on the park 8)
We are back in action tonight and for Sydney FC it's time to showcase the spoils of cup victory as David Suazo and Edgar Davids both make their debuts tonight.
Diarra make his long awaited return but will only be as a sub as he isn't 100% yet :(
Yay I injured Jovanovic!
Quote from: reesbr on October 31, 2010, 09:03:26 AM
Yay I injured Jovanovic!
Haha that made me chuckle!
I wonder who he will use as a striker now
Haha he's stuffed
Unbelievable!
LOL nice reesbr :P
I had a 2-2 draw... dominated possession & had more shots so probably should've won but at least I didn't lose lol

Quote from: reesbr on October 31, 2010, 09:03:26 AM
Yay I injured Jovanovic!
And I injured Ronaldo!
I can't say I'm happy with a draw >:(. Changes are going to come now.......
Adelaide and Wellington match was :o. 4-4 draw!!!
And my next match is against the Heart... Thanks Reesbr & HP ;D
One complaint I have about the league in general is that in the rules it says the size of your crowd will vary depending on what your ladder position is and what your current form is. And yet I am coming first and only average 13,191 fans per game, whereas Victory who are coming last average 22,551.
That doesn't seem fair to me
You guys are happy some innocent players are injured.
Shame on you.
I never said I was happy, I just said it made me chuckle when reesbr posted so excitedly that he had injured Jovanovic
lol I won't deny it I was happy when i saw that ;D
BOOMZ please beat him for me :)
I'll try ;) If Diarra can get fit then I have a good chance... he's only 59% so might be a sub again...
Quote from: CrowsFan on October 31, 2010, 12:06:43 PM
BOOMZ please beat him for me :)
Cmon Phoenix, I really need you to beat the Roar this match!
Hah as if the weak little phoenix can beat the mighty roar!! :P
I just checked all my league results and out of the 11 matches I have played I have won 6 of the 2-1, and 4 of the remaining 5 have been either a draw or a team winning by 1 goal. I like to keep my games suspenseful! ;D
I am so close to being in debt. I currently have 108k, but my next match is away from home again, which means that I only get tv revenue as income, so I will lose about 104k so I will only be on about 4k after the next match!
I'm in debt atm... Whenever I have an away game i go in debt lol
Oh so you don't actually get in trouble for being in debt?
Nah I don't think so...
Cool.
I'm just waiting for my prize money for winning the league comes in :)
Hahaha can't let the Heart win the title!
I have 3.5 million
Hopefully I can hold onto 3rd or get to 2nd even :P
Damn that is a lot of money BP! :o
What are you going to do with it all?
Is it just me or is the Brisbane Roar manager 100% certain he will win the title.
With comments like these:

Owen and Vela not living up to the hype...
might need to bring bridges on for one of them..
1 goal between them in the games they have played..
Haha CC I am not certain at all. In fact I am worried, because one loss by my team means you will jump ahead on goal difference. I am very scared, but putting on this arrogant act for my players so that their confidence remains high :)

Haha, I actually think you have it won, with my 2 best players now out with injury.
Yeah but I just need to drop one game and you leapfrog me. Plus I still have to play Gold Coast and Sydney who are the only teams that have beaten me.
It's not over till the fat lady sings!
Im sitting on around 2.9mil but ill be saving it for pre season 8)
4-4 draw from my boys :o :o
And U still got to play me CF ;)
Not worried about you zz :P
That's good itll be a suprise attack ;)
Diarra is ready for tonights match :D Should be a good match...
staring Bridges for tonight.. the Vela Owen partnership no turning out the way i wanted so now it will be Bridges Owen.. i hope Bridges gets the golden boot this year.. ;D
Golden boot is reserved for Sturridge sorry hilly
Quote from: CrowsFan on November 03, 2010, 03:58:59 PM
Golden boot is reserved for Sturridge sorry hilly
well Bridges is beating him atm..
whats happening there CF??
No he isn't HH... Jaqua will make his move soon ;)
Um no he isn't. Sturridge has 7 goals and Bridges has 5.
I haven't done primary school maths for a while but I think 7 is bigger than 5
o really.. i must be thinking of someone else.. last time i saw he wason 4.. ??
oh.. i was thinking something else..
sorry CF my mistake.. only 2 goals behind though..
last time Bridges played he got a hat-trick soooo..
i have hope..
Kierrason is a smokie for the Gold Boot 8).
2nd best player to date on average performances. Only behind the injured Ronaldo ;).
Nah the guy on 4 is Jeffren.
I was originally playing Sturridge as a winger, but now that he is played as the striker he is scoring more goals :)
well.. since i came in late i am pretty happy with what i've done with Newcastle.. gt up t 3rd-4th but back down.. but i hope to get a bit more up by the end of the season..
TOTAL HOME AWAY
11 4 0 7 12 19 4 0 2 10 9 0 0 5 2 10 -7 12

Possibly but is a little risky. Somebody else could snatch it up before you do.
because i have 2 accounts and i dont want to leave my real madrid on my other account that uses my real email.. so i want all the main teams in my main account..
Ah ok well yeah you should be able to do that then. I don't think anyone is going to snatch up the team considering how easy it was for us to get the whole league filled
Good luck doing that Hilly :).
yeah..
well i now have 24 months formy gold memebership.. ;D..
really cheap compare to 12 months..
just cofirming it and i will be switching clubs...
is it quite cheap to get gold membership
30 odd bucks for 24 months...
not bad not bad
guys can you check if Newcastle Jets is taken..and if yes by who.. coz i left and straight after can't get back in..
Just says Unavailable to manage...
hmmm :(
...
i want to come back in.. :(
can like CC invite me or anyone make me a job offer??
It makes a job offer to existing managers in the league. Pretty sure you'll be able to get back in once the person rejects it.
did you get one hp?? and when will i join back??
Nah. Happens to me alot in my other leagues. If you can't give it 7 days and it is back opened 8).
It says this: Unmanaged. - Chairman has offered the job to a manager.
does that mean in the league or just anyone..??
Hilly I have been offered the job at Newcastle. They obviously want the best manager there, which is why they have approached me, but I think I will have to decline ;)

IM BACK BABY!
Welcome back
thank you CF..
When I rejected the offer I got this message:
You have decided to reject the job offer from Newcastle Jets. Your chairman and fans are delighted at your decision!
aha... i think they wanted you to go..
Oriol Romeu has increased his rating by 3, taking him up to 80 :)
reesbr will be happy since I have him on loan at Victory
It says this for Baraja, "Player retiring at the end of the season."
Does this mean at the end of the season in the league he plays in or the end of this season??
That's a good question. I guess if it is the end of our season then you would want to trade him out so you don't lose value from him
i cant trade him out till dec 1 :-\
Ah well that's the risk you play when you buy old people...
I think it means at the end of our season sorry
eeeerrrr waste of 6 mil :'( :'( praying its at the end of the season in the league he plays in
I don't think it is since I clicked on loan, and it said he can't be loaned since he is retiring at the end of the season
thats annoying >:( :( :'( gonna have to wast money pre season on a replacement
I can sell you some 75 rated defenders then :P. I now have too many of them!!!!
He's my CM ive got players i can trade out i guess :-\
Great Work Wellington!
Things are really heating up now, only 1 point in it!
3-3 draw.. hmmm now im 2nd last.. yuk!
Damn I lost again!!!!!
Lost 3-0... Was closer than that on stats though. Dissapointing effort...
3-3. 50-50 possession. 10 Shots on Target each. Hilly and I played Match of the Round ;D
uzz has a chance for Cup Final revenge Saturday
Stupid wellington!! >:(
;D You know you love me CF :P
Love is not the right word :P
Another L word then? Like loathe?
Yeah that fits nicely :)
Now just 1 point ahead of heart. Going to be a close finish to the season
Top 5 play finals?
No finals benjy
Really, that is disappointing :(
I hope I can hang onto 3rd :(
What happened to you beating Heart for me BOOMZ??
lol my players let me down... was fairly even on stats but they failed me >:(
Finally got another win :D. Hard fought 2-1 win for my guys 8).
Nice win to me,... javier hernadez has been in fine form for me 7-9-8-8-9-8
Wow I didn't realise you had Hernandez. That's cool :)
got him bout 3 weeks ago and is already 3rd in the most man of the matches :P
Another loss hoping to get up to 3rd spot on the ladder but that doesnt look like happening at the moment :-\
Gold Coast vs Victory this week. Last time they verse, GC smashed them 4-2. Lets hope for a similar result :P.
I might also add, Keirrison is probably been the best all round player (since Ronaldo's injury). 6 goals, 5 assists, average performance of 8.27 (from 11 appearances) and 4 man of the match awards.
After a poor effort this week I'm changing a few things...
I'm actually very certain that CC is going to leapfrog me and take first place soon. My squad seems to be stuttering at the moment...
Hopefully I go onto finish 3rd if my team goes on a roll 8).
Kewell, Keirra and Muller hopefully will all remain fit and free from suspension :D.
Touch wood HP ;)
Touchwood indeed :P.
Watch out HP. My guys will be looking for revenge
They'll keep searching for the next few seasons ;).

After a poor effort this week I'm changing a few things...
boomz i worked out why your team failed.
You have your formation set to 2 wingers and 2 forwards, which is fine, but then your arrows that you give them is the stupidist thing ever. All you have done with the arrows is make the forwards and wingers change positions. Why wouldn't you just have them start in the other position instead of doing that??
Yeah I dont know why I did that lol thats what I changed.
Good thing, just seemed a bit weird to me.
Just cos you can give people arrows doesn't mean you should :P
lol yeah I always go over the top with them :P
Does anyone ever use the arrows on there deffence?
I do
I put arrows in defence occasionally.
I do for the L and RB to run down the wings
Need the win tonight or I'll most likely lose 3rd spot... :(
Well I know that if I don't win I wont be in first place! Heart are on a roll and just keep winning, whilst I am stuttering at the top :(
Been struggling for goals lately, with just 3 in my last 3 games, so changing my strategy a bit. Hopefully that will fix it :)
setting my tactics now...
playing Melbourne Heart..
i think it will be match of the round..
keeping my tactics secret ;D
How is second v ninth match of the round hilly??
Adelaide v Sydney is match of the round for a few reasons:
• It is fourth v fifth on the ladder, fighting to get to third
• It is the rematch of the cup final!
well.. not really looking at the positions.. and i said 'i think' becase i wasnt sure of the other fixtures..
your probably right..
but if my new players.. Aurellio Owen and Vela get going i think i can be i force in the league..
plus there is a game between 4th and 9th..
very close league.. first andsecond though are clear..
Just looked at my fixtures and got a pretty good run home :)
4 home games and just 2 away matches :D
Mines alright... :S
i'll look at my run home after i set all my teams tactics..
8 teams i have..
i got MelbourneVictory with Higuain, Ramos, Malouda..
pretty good teams..
i manage
Real Madrid
Newcastle Jets
Chelsea
Inter
Liverpool
Arsenal
Bayern Munich
Melbourne Victory
Milan
soo yeah..
Damn that's a lot of teams Hily!
im looking to get one more team in..
Barcelona! the team i havent yet managed..
I have barcelona :P
i know..
:D won 3-1 Johnson & Foti both rated 10 :D
2-2 Draw. Damn You Newcastle
A very easy 4-1 victory to me ;D
Even though Canales got sent off after 23 minutes >:(
Looks like my change in tactics did help
3-2 victory as Sydney prove they truly are worthy cup champions. Ortega bags a double as his late season purple patch continues. Cup hero Brosque got some bruised ribs though so that sucks.
We welcome 2nd placed Heart to the SFS on Wednesday in what is on paper the match of the round, We've found form and are gunning for Boomz's Glory in third, Heart need to win to keep their title asperations alive
Quote from: Capt Cunners on November 07, 2010, 10:44:24 AM
2-2 Draw. Damn You Newcastle
hehe my new boys are going now!
Lost 1-0 to Victory. My players don't have the attacking flare in which they started this comp with :'(.
Down to 9k so returned 2 guys who were loaned to me (with my defence having alot of cover) and putting quite a few players on the TM. Need to shake things up a bit which I don't like doing.
My players played very well :D Need them to keep it up coz 3rd spot could go to anyone if i lose...
Quote from: Capt Cunners on November 07, 2010, 10:44:24 AM
2-2 Draw. Damn You Newcastle
Did you notice that you scored in the first and second minute? That is a pretty good effort!
yeah.. i watch the score centre before i see the result.. i thought i was going to lose 10-0
Wow I had never used the score centre before. I am so definitely using that from now on!
Either had i till a week ago coz it made my computer freeze up whenever i tried but it works fine now & is good as :D
i like the score centre..
WOOOOOO YEAH!! VICTORY!
Quote from: reesbr on November 07, 2010, 06:50:15 PM

How are you enjoying romeu increasing his rating by 3? ;)
Haha very pleased CF ;)
Anyone would think I haven't won in a while
Would you be annoyed if I brought him back? :P
haha how long has it been reesbr?
haha yes. not long enough
Need a win in the next game after a little bit of a form drop with a draw followed by two loses in the past 3 games
Deniss Rakels went up 10 today!! now he is a 78 and 18 year old winger :)
hope i can get a bit of confidence from the heart game...
i really hope i can go up the ladder and get a few wins..
So tonight we welcome the Heart in the match of the round. Last time out at AAMI the Heart became the first chapter in "Adventures of the Sydney FC B-Team" as we beat them 1-0 with only two on field starters. Tonight it's the full strength side going in. We're eyeing third, Heart needs to win to keep their title hopes alive
dream on BP ur not getting anywhere near 3rd :P
Sorry guys third place is mine :)
haha tell me that when u actually have it :P it's mine for now ;D
Wow it must be so depressing fighting over third place :P
Quote from: CrowsFan on November 10, 2010, 06:23:27 PM
Wow it must be so depressing fighting over third place :P
At least reesbr and I are fighting over the Wooden Spoon ;D.
Going down tonight CF 8). Trying something completely left field, so will either pay off or will go down miserably.
Well you did beat me last time! And this time it is on your home field!!
Plus my best player in Canales is suspended :'(
Kewell is being rested........ For most of the match :P.
Are you resting him cos he is only 99% fit? :P
expect a very very difrent formation coz i have notin to lose but dent perths 3rd place ambitions :P
Quote from: CrowsFan on November 10, 2010, 06:57:46 PM
Are you resting him cos he is only 99% fit? :P
So he's changed.......
Before it was 94%. Now he'll be starting 8).
grr Hawka :P U better not injure my players >:(
no my tackling is set to soft or normal i woudnt do that but i mite play a very very attacking game :P so expect a goal fest
lol I always play very attacking too anyway :P
maybe a 5-5 all draw lol
lol that would be funny... Hopefully my defence holds up though ;D
hopefully mine should nelsen has been a rock and so has learndo since i got him a few weeks ago
Very attacking should not be a tactic you use from the start. It should be used when you are losing in the last 15 minutes or maybe last 30
Lovren is my rock 8) Usually play N'Diaye in defence too... Not too much to change for me but Diarra is playing a full match now he's a 100% :D
Yeah I just prefer attacking rather than defensive tactics...
Very Attacking is one I usually bring out after Subs as I haven't had much success with it for the whole match. Attacking though gives me more success.
CF i have noting to lose :P im just trying something diffrent
eerrgghh what is happening had another draw 1-1 to victory
WTF!! how the hell did i lose 5-1!!!! arrggghhh!
Hahahaha Yes!! Gained a point on HP!!
Yes 5 points clear at the top now :)
Heart threw everything at us in the last 15 but we hung on for a 1-1 draw. Davids found the net. CF you owe me :P
3-2 loss :( still holding onto 3rd though... only by goal difference now...
I have the 2 highest goal scorers now :)
Sturridge with 9 and Jeffren with 7
I'm disappointed with a 2-1 loss :'(. Means I got to try something different again next week :P.
reesbr, I'm not last due to goal difference :D. But if we both win next week and Hilly loses, we could leap frog him ;D.
Just interesting in my other game for Chievo. Up against Juventus playing a fairly strong side (some rated over 96). It was a 1-1 draw but the total shots counted 33-5 in my favour :o. And I had Santa Cruz and Nilmar compared to his Torres and Ibrahimovic (and another guy) :o. Crazy stuff!!
Haha yep. Hilly for the spoon!
Not much more you could expect playing the number 1 team HP :P
My tactics that I played definitely helped. Started the game with a normal mentality, but since it was even at half time switched to attacking, and then after 75 minutes since I was up by only 1 goal changed formation to a 5-3-2 and went defensive to hold out :)
I'm too lazy to do so many tactics :P. Might do them when I get free time after next week ;).
At least it wasn't by a massive margin :P.
Just noticed that it is now impossible for me to finish third ;D
Also HP and reesbr you only need a draw and for hilly to lose to jump ahead of him
Yeah that was the first time I bothered setting proper tactics like that. Worked out well :)
But it depends if he draws/loses as well ;).
But a win to both of us would be much needed :P.
I would very much like wellington phoenix to get a win on saturday :)
well.. i am not going to lose because i am playing NQF.. should be a good game..
haha u sound very very confident there hh dont expect a easy win :P and another MOM for hernadez and thats his 4th in like 6 games ;D
haha just looked at the ladder and after all this banter from boomz,zz and BP im just 2 points of 3rd spot :P
Go hawka! Let's get 2 Queensland teams in the top 3! ;)
thx CF yep u and GC lol jokes...yep finshing 3rd would be good gona stick with the attackin formation and hopei score lots of goals and concede not as much as i score :P quite simple
What could be simpler? I do it every week ;)
i must copy of the best ;)
Well my team just isn't gelling :(.
Going to be a shake up eventually......
Picked up Andrew Davies of Stoke to help shore up the Right Back position. Sadly this means the end of the line for Babayaro, with Byun due back from injury tomorrow it's just not viable to keep four left backs. We wish Celestine all the best in his future endeavours
Im pissed off, Looks like the season is over. Congratz Brisbane
Don't conceded defeat yet CC. You only need me to have a loss and a draw and then you will be in first place
Havent had a win in my last four games startiong to get worried
Trying a different formation this game hope it works, playing against Bribane so i hope it does
Damn it, I made an offer to Ajax for Christian Eriksen this morning hoping to get him before his rating went up, but it just rose before the bid was accepted, so now will have to may to get him :(
Hey HP sorry for recalling Nichols, but I needed him to be part of a trade I am making :)
I have accepted your loan offer for Coutinho as a replacement though ;)
That's fine. Knew it was likely for a trade seeing as I'm no threat to you ;).
Don't have many midfielders so put in a bid for Coutinho and Leckie. Thanks for accepting it :).
I might also add ZZ has signed the youngest player I think in the game!!!! A 15 year old :o.
Yeah no worries, may need to bring him back later as I am running low on forwards now but don't need him for the time being
dam i wanted him but i have 4 16 yr olds ,6 18 yr olds and will bring more in wen i have money and my youth team has 14 and my first 10 lol
Wanted who hawka?
The new 15 year old in the game :P. Have a few more new 16 year olds who just got into the database.
I don't have enough money to buy anybody :'(.
Oh right. Wow that is pretty darn young!!!
I have no one in my youth team. I don't see the point in putting players there haha
same hp i only have 100k and i only have 2 players not trasnfer banned lol pasfield my number 1 keeper and ham my number 2 keeper who is worth less than a pie
Well the player I am bringing in is Davide Santon to sure up my defense. It is my one weak point
just saw that he is only 19 and already 87 :o :o :o
Yeah he is going to be a great player, he is just finding it hard to break into the Inter first team cos he has Zanetti in front of him for RB
I have him in the other league :D
lol :P

He's been in my Villa side for quite some time 8).
Also, Coutinho is hot property ;). Been hearing big things about him and have him in my Cheivo side as a player. I have like 3 teams chasing him before trying to get him signed for max selling price. But I've still got him 8).
Yeah that's why I brought Coutinho into my Roar side, along with a lot of other youngsters. Such as McEachran from Chelsea. He is only 17 years old but is on the bench almost every game now for their premier league matches
Got that 15 yo guy i think he is playing in the under 17 Spain squad so hes got a hot future ahead of him :) :o
I'm disappointed with recent team performances. so am going to shake the cage a little.
Will be signing another gun or two. Gary Neville will likely come in before the next round but is no done deal yet ;).
Gary Neville huh? He sure is an old one, careful that his rating doesn't drop if they do the epl soon...
Just went through the Transfer Market and shortlisted a bunch of potential buys. Now to see who I can get with the Players I can trade 8).
Went through the Victory team earlier and they don't have a single player that is in their original team!!!! I've kept quite a few but will likely trade off a couple.
Twaite and Pantelidis probably won't be sold. Both are two of my Fav Aussie Players but they are worth quite a bit when I trade (3.3 and 2.5 mil a piece :o). Minniecon is on the edge but might just keep him :P.
Yeah I know it is crazy he has traded away his whole team!
I still have 9 of my original players, 4 of them are still in my starting XI
furys player ratings sucked so i only have 2 players left :P
I'm trading away them now but they'll all end up coming back to me eventually 8).
Neville and Cork are so far able to come in. Now to look for some midfielders.
I like Williams. He'll be coming to the GC sooner or later 8).
all my dam players are TB and i have 100k so u hope i finsh 3rd so i get more money
9 of the original crew are still with Sydney as well
Anyway we take a trip to Melbourne tonight to take on the Victory. Andrew Davies makes his debut and Jamieson comes in for Rukavytsya who takes a game off, Cole goes to the bench

The majority of mine are aswell. Kewell, Muller and Keirra will likely be kept due to their stunning form. Very suprised with Keirra this season!! Arguably the best performer all season long (Although Ronaldo was before his injury against the GC ;D).
Can't seem to make up my mind on who I should bring in!!! Bringing in a AM/Winger who I badly need.
Could be in for a loss tonight against Adelaide. A fair few of my players haven't managed to recover from the midweek game and so a few backups may have to play
haha no way hernadez almost has the most MOM and he has played half the games of most :P players...hernandez and nelsen will b staying and the 1 6yr olds but no1 else is safe 8)
Nup Sturridge has been since he is leading goal scorer :)

You know Turkey has just started being reviewed?
But on Average performances, who reins supreme behind Ronaldo?
Also, he is an all round forward scoring and assisting in a Losing side :P. We'll see who gets the MVP come season's end 8).
Nup BP!!! Don't pay much attention to the reviews. I prefer finding out who is going to be reviewed next. Hopefully Kewell goes up on the form when he joined Galatasaray.
Sturridge has 9 goals and 3 assists. That beats Keirrison's 6 goals and 5 assists.
This game is about results not ratings :P
Also Keirrison hasn't scored in the last 3 matches...
Hahaha yeah I wish I didnt trade my whole team
But Keirra is still the second best on average ratings.

On a side note, Expecting 3 players to join up with the Coasters by next round.
That doesn't prove he is good, it proves he is better than all your other players so he gets high ratings
Also I did not know it was a crime to steal emoticons?

It's not. Just joking around ;). I'm really bored today :(.
He's actually behind Kewell and Muller in ratings ;). Was going to sell him off as he is worth alot (and i have no clue who he is in real life), but his form is making methink otherwise......
Sturridge and that other guy you got can really score goals. At least we got a good rivalry going ;). 1 win apeice and both were good games 8).
Yeah I'm pretty bored too haha. No sport on during the day to watch :(
I should be studying but can't be bothered haha
So should I ;D.
Will probably watch some movies tonight as there isn't much on TV.
Some pretty good movies are on HP :P diehard ;)
I might watch Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels tonight.
Love that movie! :D
Colak +3 to 78 is handy 8) was just sitting on my bench till now but he'll be playing more now.

I went out today and bought a couple of movies I :-*.
Will see what is on now I suppose. Not as good as Toy Story 1+2 & Chucky Last week ;D.
I'm officially in the negatives :(.
On a side note, came away with the draw with Glory after a Kewell Double 8). I'm on bottom now :'(.
Dissapointing to only get a draw but I'm 1 point clear in 3rd now after sydney lost ;D
All this talent. All this possession and you can only get ONE FLOWERING SHOT ON GOAL!.
We deserved to lose. Storari played like a drain
next match is match of the round
Newcastle v Gold Coast
loser gets wooden spoon
Last Time:
Newcastle 4-2 Gold Coast
Bridges got a hat-trick
Got my 8th 2-1 victory from 15 league games.
My boys sure know how to keep it close!
I was watching it in the score centre and had gone 2 nil up and then Adelaide scored with 7 minutes to go and I thought I was about to do a Villa!
happy with a draw away from home and still only 2 points of 3rd spot
No one is getting 3rd place off me :P
boomz i vs heart nxt rnd but u vs roar the last rnd so with only 3 rnds left its getting close and sydney also has roar ...Me and sydney last rnd could determine the 3rd place
PLZZZ CF beat sydney and perth ;) :P
For now at least I'm in 3rd & I'm not planning on losing to anyone :P I can beat roar if my players fire :P
only 3 points separate 3-6 so gona be a great finsh anyway
Yeah a bit of excitement :P I could do with the cash too...

Haha jokes I'm not going to do that. Queensland for the win! ;D
lol no need to I'll smash u anyway :P Palanca will be back by then I just need him to not injure himself again...
Why does everyone seem to think they will beat me?
Adelaide thought they would beat me and I beat them both times. Heart hasn't even beaten me.
Just accept I am better than you :P
plz dont play ur reserve player 8)
lol I never accept defeat :P

*coughs*Cupchampions*coughs*
thx cf hopefully 2 queensland teams in that top 3 ;)
Haha yes BP you are 1 of only 2 teams that have managed to beat me so well done.
However I would like to point out in that match I played all of my B team.
But I now regret that as I would have loved to win the cup!
You didn't when you verse me the first time around ;).
That is true HP that is true
At least I can hold some sort of bragging rights out of this season :P.
Hopefully I can go on a little roll with some new signings :D. But a negative balance is what I don't like :'(.
Negative is no good. How did you manage that?
I am in negative with Blackburn, may have to sell Nani to get some money since 2 of my next 3 games are away so I will lose more!
Doesn't look like Santon will be ready to play this Wednesday, he joined the club with on 66% fitness :(
I Screwed my tatics up, had Rose subbed on in the 60th min, then subbed off in the 75th min >:(
Im really starting to get worried now, ive gone 5 games with out a win :'( :(
On a plus i had 13 shots to CF's 6 with 10 of mine being on target and him finding 100% accuracy, but atleast im attacking well :)
Yeah my subs screwed up too, since the transfer of Santon went through before the match started, which I didn't think it would. It mean instead of my subbing on my 82 rated CM after 45 minutes I subbed on a 74 rated striker to play in the CM...

Wages and not winning are killing me there!!
But as I am in negatives, doesn't hurt trading for guns :P.
I signed Pirlo in my Villa account and it went through before the game. Now he's NMF and will have to be rested next 2 matches at least :(. Hate when that happens.
But u still won :-\
Sturridge now with 10 goals, 3 clear of Jeffren (Roar), El Zhar (Heart) and Kewell (GC).
I'd like to see someone catch him now ;)
I'm getting a spread of goals along my front line. Just need to sort out my defensive problems and I could be set :-\. Also, need to get in another playmaker for my mids.
Going to be a long off season for me......
haha HP i had like half my River Plate team on NMF cos i bhadnt been paying attention to there fatigue
After Sturridge and Jeffren my next highest scorer is one of my CB's Ortiz with 3 haha
im set my tackling mentaality to very hard next season agaisnt you, and i might just injure one of the m ;) :P

I played Aggressively and won my games before :(. Might have to go back to those days ;).
I unfortunately ended Ronaldo's season prematurely :(. Just when he was hitting his stride.
2-0 win against Sydney!
i just made a HUGE offer and i mean HUGE will by far bring in the best player so far :o :o
WHO??
whoooo?! lol
He is rated 94 ;)
Lol Who is it? what position?
can play defence or midfield, ill let you all work it out from here make it a bit of a suprise ;)
But in real life mostly a defender i think ;)
Zanetti...
its Zanetti
yep only risk with him is that he maybe close to retiring
If all goes well he should be ready to play against u BOOMZ :) :P
lol my young guys will run circles around him :P
Zanetti of course ;).
N'gog 2nd on Asissts behind Wildhire 6 to 5 but Wilshire has played 8 more games 8)
N'gog also has one of the best goal to appearence ratio of 1.75 8)
N'gog has gone unseen most of the season and hasnt really been noticed and will be a player to watch out for in the future and next season ;)

Are you going to sell him then once the transfer ban ends?
Most likely...
Well you'll get a fair bit of cash for him! :)
Yep :D Planning to get in a couple of 85-88 rated players with it ;) Have a few in mind... I really hate transfer bans lol
i need defenders!!! damn.. got no money... loan anyone??
Haha well they need transfer bans otherwise the game would be ruined.
For example you with diarra, you buy him cheaply because he isn't valued at the other club but then he is worth heaps with you. If there were no transfer bans you could sell him after a few days and make a huge profit

ANYONE idc.. just need some defenders..
Why don't you have an CB's??
http://www.soccermanager.com/player.php?pid=42836 make a loan offer then ;)

can't do more than 3 loans there BP..
I have alright Defenders best defender is a guy rated 85 followed by 77-80 ::). Soon to change 8).
I can loan some of my youth team members if you want?
ratings??
72 rated LB/RB and a 71 rated CB/DM. They are TB but think you can still loan players.
Aren't needed so free if you want.
Ronaldo is back this week boys, Ronaldo is back!
Just realised the only guy I would loan you is a RB/LB, which isn't what you want hilly, so sorry
CC will he be playin on wednesday
Quote from: hawka26 on November 14, 2010, 08:05:18 PM
CC will he be playin on wednesday
71% fitness so will be a close call on whether he will play
He will be playing if he is 90+ which i think he will make easy. After all its all of nothing from the position i am in.
yes i need CB's..
You have to apply for the loan Hilly ;). I'll be willing to accept for him if you do it :).
Zanetti is expecting a transfer fee of 60k, i think ill be making around 40k on home games but losing 160k on away :-\
Ill have a look at my youth defenders Hilly :)
yeah gotta find it..

Do you mean weekly wage not transfer fee?
awh yeh wage
Haha I was going to say that would be a very cheap transfer!
lol if that was the transfer fee I would have got him long ago :P
Hilly, Djulbric is being traded. Can only offer the youth one. Sorry :(.
oh i thought that was the one..
I think i might have Zanetti for the season and just see how he is :)
I could offer you Ziegel Hilly a 78 CB but might recall him at any stage
alright...
will offer soon..
will accept tomorrow im off for the night
Just realised I can offer you Ortiz. He is a 78 rated CB
alright..
i will make an offer..
pick mine Hilly i need to keep the wages down ;)
yeah but i'll wait until his fit CF
Haha but I don't want him he is injured! :P
yeah well whats the point of having him if his injured when i actually need a CB or 3
You just said you wanted defenders, you never specified they had to be able to play :P
well if i don't have a CB at all.. i think i need them to play..
that maybe why Owen and Vela aren't performing..
not goodenough defenders..
i can loan u a 75 rater cb on loan
idc bout ratings just CB's
ok ask to loan ben mee from my team
il accept ;)
If you don't care about ratings why don't you just buy some? You can get players rated about 70 for around 10k
i'll do that at EOS get more money..

Just for some added Depth if needed.
I'm spewing now >:(. Can't transfer 3 of the players I need because I'm negative ::).
As soon as I get into the positives, I can hopefully trade for them >:(.
Haha that's unfortunate HP :P
Maybe you should manage your finances better? ;)
I hate being negative >:( & I'm beginning to hate Diarra lol
Well I haven't been negative for long ;).
It's more so crowd's not attending and my lack of wins :'(.
Well your lack of wins is the reason for crowds not attending I think.
You have 2 home games from the last 3 so you should be alright till the end of the season :)
I've been negative for a while :(
My lack of money is coz of Diarra's big head & the fact I'm perth... no one goes to their matches lol
Lol BOOMZ :P.
I might try something crazy next match ;D. Season is slready gone so why not!?
Who are you versing?! please tell me its one of the people who I'm fighting for 3rd with? Smash them for me ;D
Sorry boomz but he is versing newcastle
Might try a 4-3-3 formation :P. or a 5-2-3 if I can ;D.
ahh well i'll have to win for myself then ;)
i did beat HP 4-2 last time... so anything can happen..
how come u dont want to put the loan offer in for Ziegel anymore Hilly??
i wasnt able to.. it said that you wont loan him..
His chairman won't let him loan anyone ::)
My players are available for loan offers
Hey reesbr can I recall romeu? I will loan you back a CM rated 78
yeah no worries CF
Thanks, just make a loan offer for Moritz Leitner and I will accept.
That's if you actually need him. Just noticed you have 31 players!
Also anyone wanting leckie he will be staying at united at least until his next rating change
that mite b a while they mite not do aleague for ages but he will go up atleast 2 you would think

CF I dont need him lol
Where do you see which leagues they are doing next?
ive already got a 15yo a 16yo a guy that turned 17 yesterday and a heap of 17 and 18yr olds
Yeah fair enough.
To check what leagues are being updated click on game world and then play database changes. Except at the moment it isn't saying who they will update next just who they are updating currently
im stil gona try with another offer zz in the offseason :P
im hoping Insua will get a rating change for my liverpool side, but it doesnt look like hell be getting one at the moment
How many in game instructions does everybody have??
i have 3
i have 7 lol
Big News Zanetti is on his way to Adelaide and should be ready for the clash against Perth as his fitness is at 100%
I have 6.
2 each for each time period with different orders depending on how the match is going
ur wages are gona be blown outa wack
I have one but might throw some more in when Holidays roll around.
I don't have enough time to go through all 4 of my teams and set alot of tactics since I had school.
i guess i could loan him around ;)
I just checked and with him ill be making around 80k on home games and losing 220k on away games :-\
Ive got 1 at 45 mins, 1 at 60 mins and 4 at 75mins
Zz you said you have 7 orders set and then you said you have 1 at 45 minutes 1 at 60 minutes and 4 75 minutes. That's only 6 orders...
1. And that's the way it's going to stay :P
Zanetti has arrived and will be ready for tomorrow nights clash with Perth Golry
I only have 5 CF lol just checked
Everyone in my team is at 100% fitness, except for Ortiz who is injured.
Victory get to be the first team to play against Santon, lets see how he goes attacking down the wings :)
Because he has arrived there is only 1 person in my starting XI that is rated under 80 ;D
Ive learnt that ratings arent all it this season with my current teams starting 11 the weakest 2 players are rated 80 and 82, with my average starting XI rating being 86
i'm not going in the game full strength against HP. Roque Santa Cruz scored in his International match so i hope he brings that over..

Yeah I know that zz, but it is always nice to get better players in :)
My average starting XI is only 83
well all my first team players are around 70-80% fitness..
I will be going back to my old ways which helped me gain my first 2 wins of the season 8). Aggressive and Very Attacking ;D. And a little something extra :P.
Jeez do you ever give them a rest??
How did you manage to get them down that low!?
yeh everyone is at 100% fitness bar mental blank (player) hoping to nock off glory who are coming 3rd?? and get my self back in contention for third spot
CF, my rating went up from 84 to 86 with Zanetti coming in also moving my 80 rated LB to the bench

u should be fine with 25 hilly ive got 29 but only use about 18
not sure CF i think i was gonna use Birighitti in a trade but didnt end up doing it
alright then i'll make sure of it then..
I'm confused zz, I only count 2 keepers in your squad of 29?
Just looked and Abdul Rahim Sebah is a right back, not keeper...
yeh hes a RB not sure why i though he was a GK, too many sides im thinking about
A win for me tonight and a draw for Heart will mean that the title is mine ;D

Abdul Rahim Sebah my 18 yr old 3rd keeper has now become my second keeper with a rating change taking him from 72 to 75 :)
Why do you have 3 keepers?
I have 3 keepers. But that's because I don't have the heart to release Bosnich
I BEAT HEART 4-3 after havin only 5 shots i cant belive it so many guns yet the minnows win guyges 2 golas in 3 mins help woohoo now in 3rd by a whole point and thx to my win i have crushed hearts chances of a league win congratz CF and i hope u can repay me by winning ur nxt 2 games agianst ppl trying for top 3 ;)
i am now bottom :(
1-1 to the Phoenix. Golden Opportunity to take 3rd lost. Nicky Carle found the net on a great solo effort. We head to Brisbane, where I'm hoping the Roar will be so drunk celebrating their title win I can steal 3 points :P
CHAMPIONS!!! WE ARE CHAMPIONS!!!
WOOOOOOO ;D ;D ;D ;D
argh >:( I'm only 1 point behind I suppose... better GD so if i can get equal on points :D
Back to my old ways led to a 3-1 win :D. Now over Hilly and reesbr 8). Cost me a red card early but worth it to intimidate my opponent 8).
63% of the possession as well as 16 shots 8).
Having a positive balance hopefully means I can bring in 3 players in need by next match :D.
On a side note, I can begin writing the weekly round up again :D. Finished my last exam today 8).
Well done HP. I just finished my last exam too :)
Congrats CF
Nice CF 8). How'd you go on it?
Did pretty well in my mind. 18 out of 50 questions I am certain I got correct, the others were all 50-50.
Should hopefully get at least a distinction
knocked Glory off third spot with my 3-2 win, my tatcis still arent working though :-\
I think it's kinda strange that Zanetti got a match rating of 6 when he set up all three goals same with Giovanni he scored 2 goals but got a rating of 6 also
i scored 4 goals and only had 5 shots but somehow shawzer got the MOM depiste saiving 1 shot and condecing 4 ???
maybe a bug in the match ratings ???
A strange thing it is and has happened to me before. But never with that many goals :o.
I'll take the MOTM ;).
Sturridge got MOTM for me and scored another goal.
Still a 3 goal lead over the chasing pack of Jeffren, Kewell and El Zhar for golden boot
but with Zanetti getting 3 assissts and Giovanni 2 goals only amatch rating of 6 for both of them :-\ i think something is wrong there
cmon cg u gota win ur nxt 2 but a worry is i havent won away from home all yr :-\
I need Perth and Sydney to Draw or lose there next game and Fury to lose for me to win and go into 3rd spot, my GD is wot will help me having the 3rd best in the comp after heart and roar
I'm going to try hawka. I'm not going to play it easy now ;)
Yeh would be great if u could knock off sydney and Glory
Wow my away form is wot has really let me down this season only winning 1 game and drawin 2, losing the rest.
Also have the third highest average attendence of 13,454, somehow Victory has the highest average attendence being over 11,000 Roaor who has the second highest average attendence
So in my quest for 3rd. I've decided to hit the market one last time. I'm going to bring in Jozy Altidore from Villareal, that'll push Ortega into the midfield with Carle, Brosque/Rukatsvya and Davids and have Altidore tag team with Suazo, Hopefully he gets here in time to play the Roar
I hope he doesnt ;D :P ;)
QuoteI hope he doesnt ;D :P ;)
+1 :P
Neville is on his way within the next 24 hours 8). 1 down, 2 more to go :D.
only 250k and all butr 2 keepers on TB so no late imnclusions for me
could i plzz loan a minum 73 rater fwd for all teams not in contention for top 3 and il loan u a player wen u need em
Who has victory? I could really use guidetti now... :-\
reesber and i looked and only 3 ppl cant get top3,roar,heart and jets and victory has next to no hoep
HH i made a 2 game loan offer for jesic and CF i made the same for a 73or 74 LB thx ;)
Sorry reesbr I'm going to have to recall Guidetti... U can loan Morata instead if u want, he's 75...

You can loan one of mine. I'll check up now who I can offer :).
thx hp u r stil in with a chance thats y i didnt look ;)
I've got Mebrahtu (rated 72 though) or Verdi (rated 75). Can get one of those 2 as we have almost finished the season.
Fighting for the Wooden Spoon :P.
I cant wait to get rid of Diarra ;D ;D ;D
thx hp il make a offer
this guy i get of u will probaly start or play 30mins goin for all out attack 2games
That's fine. Not playing much for me with my front 3. Hopefully he can lead you to a few wins :P.
CC should be happy that El Zhar's rating went up by 1
Hawka I accepted your loan offer.
Sorry was at a housewarming last night so wasn't online to accept then
Also I see you have signed JET HP :)
I needed midfielders, so brought 2 cheap ones in 8). JET just happened to be one of the ones I could trade for ;D.
thx cf
crisis at the fury nelsen,wilkshire,amiodo,gugue,learnodo,vidal and vidiosic all in my first team are in the 80s for condtion is there any chance it could improve by match time
Hopefully, cos I need my players to improve too!
Mine too just checked and got worried :o
I don't think my new recruits will play much as they all have fatigue in the 80's (JET in the 70's). Last 2 games of the season, so will try and fit them in 8).
Have 4 of my started on the bench right now and JET left out :(. Have 3 guys rated in the low 70's on field :P. Wills et everything later though when the fatigue update kicks in.
That's around 4 or 5 isn't it?
I always thought that the update was about 2, but not sure.
Will check again soon
am i the only one who cant get on the SM site?
I just checked and I can't get on either.
Luckily I had already set my tactics for the match an hour or so ago :)
lol yeah I think I set mine but wanted to change them a bit :-\
Hopefully it will be working later then
DAMM cant get on and wont b on the computer for much longer :-\
I haven't been able to get on since late this morning :(. Going to screw 3 of my teams if they don't get it back up and running soon >:(.
yep same hp my leeds team is in the 3rd or 4th rnd of the cup and im goin for the win and i need to change it so i can have a full11 but i went on 2day bout 3 the last time i went on
Nice hawka 8).
Hopefully gets back sooner rather than later. I'll be up late anyway.
Last time they had a problem they pushed back the matches a few hours... not that it would really matter as that would still be early morning. Hope its back up soon :D
nah boomz it would b ok goin by our time and the server time the games are played 20:00 server time which is 7am aussie time which means say 10/11am they could b pushed bak to likeu said which isnt bad
On a sunday thats bad :P
hahai guess beta than 7am sunday ;)
Yep ;) Wooot its back up ;D
Yep, Checking up now and setting tactics 8).
woo thats good
Ready to take down the victory 8)
im ready to take down wellingeton but havent won away from home :-\ only 2 draws and i am the worst away from home besides jets and in the final rnd aginst the sydney im away advantage for u boomz ;)
I'm versing Heart where I have a 50% winning rate in the two games we played :P. Both games ended 1-0 once each ;D.
Taking a risk with only 2 games left :P.
Good news and Bad news for Sydney.
Good News: Altidore made it in time to play the Roar ;D
Bad News: Due to fatigue he won't play more than 30 minutes :'(
Aaaand SM went down again...or not
Lol BP :P.
Neville will be doing the same. Coming on for a short stint.
Had my biggest crowd of the year with 25,368 fans turning up to celebrate with the champions! And they did not disappoint beating Sydney 2-1 with Sturridge scoring the winner with 7 minutes to go
won 2-1 still in 4th by 1 point... I need Sydney to beat Fury & I need to win or draw... if we both lose or if I draw, Fury loses & Adelaide wins then they go into 3rd... Going to be a big last week lol
Well don't think I am going to make it too easy for you BOOMZ, I have beaten you both times we have played so far and I had a couple of players rested last night ;)
haha & seeing as its last round I'm not going to be worried about injuries etc so watch out :P I'll throw everything at u ;)
Won 6-2. Dissapointed i didn't win the title like expected

Sorry to ruin your expectations :P
I got uterlly dominated :'(. Ronaldo came back and got revenge with 2 goals :P.
At least I can say if I get at least a draw next round, I'm not the wooden spooner ;D.
Finnaly won away and have 1 hand on 3rd spot..... all i need is a draw and CF to win or to draw and il take 3rd......but the win came at a HUGE cost :'( ryan nelsen is suspened and vidiosic is injured
Palanca is gonna be back for the last match of the season 8) decided not to sub him on last night so he'll be fully it & ready to go :P
Well I have good news for hawka. I can't get third anymore so I have nothing to play for.
So that probably means another fun filled installment of "Adventures of the Sydney FC B-Team"
HUGE match in the final round! Melbourne Victory vs Newcastle Jets.
The loser of this match will pick up the wooden spoon. If it is a draw the Jets will remain bottom.
Last time they met Jets won 1 nil in a closely fought match thanks to a Carlos Vela goal in the first half.
This is good news for HP because it means that the Gold Coast cannot finish with the wooden spoon.
That is really good news ;D ;D.
I thought you would enjoy that news ;)

hold that checkbook and take away all those :o it was a a error he is actuly 24 did a quick google search and he is 24
hahahahaha I was like wtf 14?!!!!!!!!! :o
Need to win tonight & hawka to lose or draw... Should be good as I'm going for it :D
boomz the spot is urs to lose vidosic and nelsen are suspened bring my overal rating down by 2 and bp dosent have a player in his starting 11 under 80 :(
I'll play my A team no matter fitness :P. Last game of the season anyway ;D.
yer have a few ppl in the early 90s but they will b playin
Depends what side BP plays though... My side is at full fitness :D Palanca is back rom injury & i'm going in with an attacking line up.
im hoping everyone plays there strongest side :) cos ive still got a chance of coming third
well i dont even need to win and coz zz is takin on the heart but all i need is a draw and hope any resuly in your game besides u win
Yeah I'd say ur chances of coming 3rd a fairly slim zz but u never know ;) One of us will draw at least I'd say... Hopefully I win ;D really now i just want some cash lol
same boomz .......and this is a question aimed at hp(or any 1 else who has played a whole yr) have u ever finshed 3rd or 4th and what do u get or does it vary between leagues ?
Depends on the leagues. I'm guessing the prize money wouldn't be as much as you would get in a English Div 1 league. I've finished 2nd and 3rd before in my other accounts and still got quite a bit of cash. But that was in Div 1 English and Italian leagues.
Just set my tactics. Everybody is on 100% fitness :D. If I win, I leapfrog Wellington into 7th 8).
The answer being for everyone wondering about me is...since everyone bar Nicky Carle is on 100% Fitness. The A-Team shall play.
Good smash him or me :P I just hope I dont go any lower...
dam I forgot to set my tactics and got beat 3-1. wooden spoon :(
I finished 8th after being in the bottom for so long :D. 1-1 draw made me stay put and gave me an extra point needed to beat Hilly ;).
It was a heated battle for 1st, 3rd and Wooden spoon this season :P.

Hey I did my job. You failed :P
2-1 come from behind win. Ortega and a Suazo Penalty five minutes from time finally killed the Fury off. Not that it mattered for 3rd since BOOMZ and uzz failed :P. But uzz's failure allowed us to leapfrog Adelaide into 5th
Nice BP :P. Guessed their failure was good for you ;).
:( Didn't get into 3rd but stayed in 4th so not too dissapointing...
Finished 10 points clear in the end :D
Just the one loss in the league this season to Gold Coast was handy.
For prize money I got £1,067,540, what did everyone else get?
I think i got like 600k or so but I can't remember... November 30th & Diarra is GAWN!!!!!!! ;D
ill take him boomz..
ohhh yeahh got 3rd ;D got 830k prize money was expecting CF would get more tho

I got $237,231. Not alot but I'll take it 8).
$593,078. Puts me over 4 Million Dollars. Can you say off season wheeling and dealing? :P
4 mil :o thats 4 times my amount
It's 16X my amount ::).
Stop complaining *blows raspberries.
Twice as much as me!
Just realised that BP got more money for winning the cup than winning the league. That doesn't seem fair to me!

Actually I think uzz got just about as much for finishing runner up in the cup as you got for winning the league. I was almost double.
Yeah plus you got all the money for having 90k people or whatever turn up to your match!
That's why I have 4 million. I made 3.2 from that cup final alone
Had Diego Salomao and Jordan Ayew go up to 80 and Clement Grenier go up to 77!!
Lovren +1 to 87 & N'Diaye +2 84 8)
Tomorrow Diarra is GAWWWWWWWWWWN! Anyone want him? :P will cost u a lot though lol
il giv u 400k :P
bringin in a german 17 yr old who should go up and the transfew was accepted
the guy i got plays U-19 for germany so hopefully he goes up and a saw sumwhere that he has played U-21s
Lets hope Muller goes up to over 90 :D.

Dream on :P
I've only got 210k right now, So I'm going to be fairly quite.
Keirra and Kewell have ben in great form and will be kept past their trade deadline. Muller though hasn't shown enough. After his ratings change, hoping to get a bunch of cash to splurge. But to keep some in the bank :P.
Turnbull will also be on his way out due to not good enough performances. Rarely keeping a cleansheet >:(.

10 bucks and a KFC Booklet that's still good by one day?
Muller up by 3 to 91!!!! ;D ;D ;D.
His worth is now........ 20 million ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.
:'( y did i get rid of him for bayern
Why did you? You should of known he'd be going up ;). Ah well, what's done is done.
I'm benefiting for GC and my Chievo side 8).
for some reason i must of been drunk(even tho im underage and dont drink) i got carragher for him :-\
Jullich up by 2 to 77 but he's most likely still going lol
Baraja is out tomorrow and im thinking i might trade N'gog out too
Diarra is back off to Real Madrid for 14.3m ;D
Spending spree ;D now to stop myself from spending it all lol
woo gueye went up by 2 :)
Jones to 85!! Coleman to 85!! Albrighton to 84!!
I wanted Albrighton though :'(. Went up a massive 9 :o.
Rose up by 2 :)
welbeck up by 1 :)
Quote from: reesbr on December 03, 2010, 08:57:33 AM
Jones to 85!! Coleman to 85!! Albrighton to 84!!
Not bad at all reesbr, but I think I win for most improved ;)
Mario Gotze who I purchased on the 23/11 for £380k with a rating of 75 has improved to 86! That is a change of +11 ;D
Also Wilshere improved to 87, Bruma to 80, McEachran to 80, Son to 78 and Pacheco to 77
hernadez up to 88 :)
Next season starts tomorrow, which I am happy about because then I can get through a transfer that I can't at the moment since I have already made 3 trades with the team this season.
Let me just warn you that my attack is going to be very strong next year, even though my 2 leading scorers in Sturridge and Jeffren have left the club ;)
cf the first fixtures nxt week ;)
Ryan nelsen has left the club but john o shea has been bought in and i still have half the money i got of nelsen...i bought in oshea becoz he was cheap and is a def/dm so can play anywere
Yeah I know hawka, but the fixtures are made tomorrow, which means the season starts tomorrow :)
I'm so happy about my purchase of Gotze! Since he went up 11 it means that I have an 86 rated player but am only paying him a 75 rated player wage ;D
Can't wait til I can sell Muller. 20 million here I come 8).
Can't sell Turnbull yet >:(. Dang not enough keepers. And only 21 players :P. 5 10k players come in so that I can sell a few 8).
made a bid for pires and have enof money to mkaeanother bid prefarbly for a defender which means my trades of season have been
OUT nelsen 87
IN oshea89,pires87,and enof money for a max 86 rated player
not bad i reckon
hp just had a look and wif that u could get 94 rated forlon,ronaldo,cole :o :o :o :o :o :o
I can't sell anyone :'(
Joined in with Turnbull, Sladovic (Not sure on spelling :P), could get a combined 30+ mil 8).
I could spend that all to bring in one of the big names in football.......
OR
Bring in several 90+ rated players.
Kierra, Kewell and Jones will be kept :). Muller though has gone up too much not to sell!!!
U don't wanna get in a lot of 90+ guys HP coz ur wages will go through the roof...
I'll keep like 5 mil in the bank this time ;).
But with that much to spend, can bring few 90's players. Will handle the wages and need to boost really. Finished low so need to get back up.
by the time my transrefs r done my rating will go up by 3 and wen i trade wilkshire i a weeks time it will go up by more ;D
Wow certainly sounds like it is going to be tough for me to defend my title next season, but I can already announce a transfer that has been accepted for me so the player will arrive tomorrow. Playing up front for me next season to replace Jeffren is Victor Obinna who is rated 87. Tomorrow I will be placing my bid on the player I want to replace Sturridge.
If that transfer goes through then my front 5 attacking players will average a rating of 87 each ;D
The new season is underway ;D ;D ;D
I will be starting off with a friendly against Gold Coast on Wednesday and will hopefully be able to stop Muller from destroying me! Then will be playing a charity shield match against Sydney the following day, before my first league match against Wellington on the Saturday.
Just out of curiosity how much did everyone get for season ticket receipts? I got £584,775 compared to the first season when I got about £1,700,000 :(
got the heart in my first game i got only got 329 k but a very well needed which means i can afford some1 i wana get
im also in the smfa shild which is good to make prize money from even tho i cant particapte
i cant wait til the 10th wen wilkshire is of transer ban cos i should get 10k :)
Don't think you get any money from the smfa shield matches cos I haven't with barca
Season Ticket Receipts £329,535 Not that bad I suppose.
1 more day and Muller will be Transfer Listed. 3 others are already and should net about 15 Mil between then. Can't wait for that spending spree :D.
Would love to start the new season with a win against the Reining Champions ;).
Haha it will only be a friendly though HP. Will give me a chance to try out my new formation :)
Same. But always good to start the season with a win ;).
The highest rated player I could afford is Xavi at 97 when I sell all the players I want to :o.
If I bring in 35 Million though, I already have 15.5 Mil spent to bring Xabi Alonso to the A League :D.
Other 15 Mil Might go to about 3-4 other players for Defence and Midfield.
Haha if you brought in Xavi you would go broke in a few weeks!!
I know right. 100k wages :o :o.
At least Xabi isn't as bad and 5 mil will be kept in the bank 8). If I need to sell, Have Kewell or Keirra as a last resort.
I want to bring in a new keeper, but wont do that unless I can get rid of Dudek.
Unfortunately no one wants to buy him from me!! >:(
I could of sold Turnbull if I had an extra Keeper >:(. Now have to wait to find a buyer >:(. 6 Mil put on hold :'(.
I know which Keeper I want to bring in Already 8). If he goes to another team, In comes Van Der Sar :P.
I know which keeper I want to bring in too.
Who are you wanting? Or just tell me the rating if you don't want to tell me the guy
Back Up Man U Keeper, Kuczack (not sure on spelling) :). Won't break the bank and he's perfect.
What about you?
Tossing up between two. Either Dida who is a free agent, but if I decide I can't afford the wages then Man Utd's new signing Lindegaard
i was gona go for dida but hiliaro form chelsea ia a straight swap for 75 rated psfield pluss 200k :)
well cf dida just went down by 2 :-\
with the friendly 2moro i wana keep all my players at 100 % so my freindly team has a averge rating of 73 and age of 18 the youngest player is 20 ;)
Friendlies don't affect Fatigue hawka :D. The game encourages friendlies between the teams.
Might organise some during the season 8).
Radoslav KIRILOV Up by 5 to 75 :D. Chievo does it again!! ;D.
Neville down by 1 though to 87 :(.
My major signing of the summer to replace Sturridge is Bojan from Barca. I'm sure he will lead the line well :)
Hm Dida would be cheap now!

Hm Dida would be cheap now!
But his wages would still be high. I was going to upgrade Storari to Given but the wages made that impossible
His wages would only be a tiny bit more than Dudeks since his rating is only 1 more
Bayern München have made an offer to Gold Coast United for Thomas MULLER of £24,195,600.
:o :o :o :o. 4 Millions more than I expected :D :D :D. He'll be here by tommorrow night ;). Then going on a spreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Wow very nice HP!!
How much did you buy him for?
Culina + Anderson with no money involved :D. Their comined value at Bayern is 8.2 Mil so making a hefty profit.
Kuszczak and Koscielny have been bid on 8). Building up defence but once Muller sells...... 8).
Then have another 7 Mil coming in whenever Chelsea decide to buy back Radjovic ;D.
buidling my defence nelsen left but bringin in oshea who can play and wer in the def with a rating of 89 and ferria RB/LB at 88
My first XI for the season is now set (once the goal keeper I have bid on comes in). And combined they have an average rating of 86 :)
Here is how it sets out:
86
87 84 84 86
82
87 86
87 87
88
Very happy with that :D
CF i looked at ur squad be4 and u have set it up awesome with all the gun youngsters and u buy youngsters who are rated very well
Let's just say I know a lot about soccer haha ;)
u do ;)
Have 33.9 Mil in the bank right now. Add another 8.4 Mil coming in later today via Radjovik selling 8).
I'm going to let FanFooty decide who's the big name signing I get in :). I'll come back in a few minutes and allow everybody to vote (by post) who they want to see play in the A League.
PATO!
Expensive ML :P. Trying to keep a budget here ;). 15 Mil is around my cut off ;).
Sorry he's awesome though.
Seedorf.
HP how bout forlan he is a steal at 14mil with a 94 rating and he is only 31 and u can use him as a mid or a fwd
or John Aloisi. :P
So Choose 1 from:
Ferreira Lucio (Rated 94)
Xabi Alonso (Rated 94)
Diego Forlan (Rated 94)
Rio Ferdinand (Rated 94)
Dejan Stankovic (Rated 93)
Walter Samuel (Rated 93)
Dimitar Berbatov (Rated 93)
I could afford 2 but might buy some cheaper players to cover the grounds.
u should have 42 mil so u could afford kaka,xavi,vidic,maicon,puyol,eto,drogba
or u could get forlan,xabi alonso and stil have 10 mil left
but while i was postin u replied :P so i would take forlan
What does your team look like?
Quote from: hawka26 on December 08, 2010, 10:38:10 AM
HP how bout forlan he is a steal at 14mil with a 94 rating and he is only 31 and u can use him as a mid or a fwd
Been shortlisted for quite some time ;). Thinking about Timmy Cahill as well ;). But he's pretty pricey :-\.
Got a bunch of guys to choose from that are in the 4-8 Mil range.
I can afford Kaka once the sale goes through ;). But not Messi or Ronaldo. Everybody else I can get :D. But means the rest of my team is really bad :P.
Currently:
JONES, Brad Gk 28 82
NEVILLE, Gary RB/CB 35 87
MATEOS, David CB/DM 23 77
DE LAET, Ritchie Def 22 80 £2.4M
EMMANUEL-THOMAS, Jay LM/AM 19 82
THWAITE, Michael DM/Def 27 80 £1.9M
PANTELIDIS, Steve DM/Def 27 78
KEWELL, Harry Wing/Fwd 32 88 £7.7M
GARCIA, Luis Wing/AM 32 86 £5.4M
KEIRRISON, Carneiro Fwd 22 87
Not including the Youth squad of course :P.
not cahill :'(v :P nah i prob wasnt gona bring him in this season
Van Bommel and Cardoba has been bid for 8).
just saw u did that was intertesd but put in on like start of last season :P
ur team is gona kick ass cant wait til the 10th wen i get 11mil for wilkshire
and the 22nd wen i get 13 mil for hernadez,4mil for amodio,4 mil for leorndo :)
Got any plans on who to bring in?
A big name?
So far Forlan is in the lead with 1 vote -_-. I'll vote for Xabi though to keep it interesting.
If I were you I would bring in either Ozil or Khedira.
Although what you really should do is get either Messi or Ronaldo by using all your money and trading Keirrison (and Kewell if needed)
personaly i reckon wen they do the lal liga ratings soon messi the form he has been in he should go up 1 to 99
But then the rest of my team will suck *blows raspberries.
I chose these guys as I can still build my team and bring in other 90+ rated players ;).
I can bring Kaka or Xavi with the money right now but I can get them next time ;). How about we do that then :). I'll bring in a BIGGER name next season ;). Xabi if I get him I can sell him for 20 Mil+ ;). Would form a hell of a Duo with Van Bommel :P. But Forlan up front :-\. Then Lucio and Ferdinand with Cardoba would be Awesome 8). I'm confused ???.
hp it depends wat u want do u want to build a strong defnce/fwd/mid or all round this season

I don't mind about forwards as I can play Kewell and Keirra up there. Midfield and Defence a big worry. Defence couldn't do it's job this season so brought in Neville and Cardoba and Droysten are waiting to be confirmed.
Well I see you have made a bid for Royston Drenthe. Will you be playing him LB or LM?
I still have 3.1 mil in the bank but will leave that to pay for wages. My wages have increased by 80k in the off season!!
haha hps urs are gona go thorugh the roof
I'm probably only making one key change for now.
Out: Ariel Ortega
In: Jose Antonio Reyes
Still flip flopping on Materazzi though
Planning to play him mainly LB but might play on the Left wing if he needs to.
If I chose for risers, Could go for any of these guys:
Ozil
Busquet
Bale
Bale has already risen, so don't go for him.
As I said Ozil would be a good pick up, so would Busquets
After much thought, Keirra will be sold (For 12 Mil+) :'(. I would hope to bring him back in the future though :D.
Need to reshuffle and see who I can bring in......
2 Big names or a spread? I could get both Ozil and Busq but means they take up 30 Mil between them :o. But think they'll both rise 1?
i reckon ozil will go plus 2
Was looking at their forums and both are set to rise 1. Should boost up the price I can sell them for I suppose. Muller worked wonders and to believe I got him for Culina :P.
Then have 18 Mil spare for elsewhere. That'll go to bring in 2 solid backman and a solid forward/Winger.
On a side note, I bought Muller in my Chievo side for 5 Mil Before the World Cup ;D. Didn't even know who he was but he was young and cheap and played for a good side :P.
haha nice buy for chievo team ;)
Considering selling wilshere and picking up someone with the same rating for cheaper so that I just have some money in the bank. Not sure who I would bring in though...
Also in other news in the game where I manage Blackburn I got offered the job at man utd so I took it ;)
they have c. ronaldo in the team too :)
I'll have 15 Mil again soon :). Bring in 2/3 more players and then sit on the cash.
Nice plan CF :). You gave up on Blackburn? :(. Taking one of the big dogs means you really have to go for the title and get a totally gun team ;). Anything below is a fail :P.
Well I had always wanted to manage utd :) I had done a lot with Blackburn getting them up to second in div 2 but thought I would take up the challenge of utd :)
Talking about going for the title my chairman expects a top half finish this season haha
Lucky :P.
Philippe Coutinho +7 to 85 and yet he will still only be on the bench :)
I wanted him :'(. But you beat me to him. Can't get him in the FanFooty Cup league now as he'd be more pricey :'(. Why would BP trade him there? :o.
P.S Another player from my Chievo side :P.
BP didn't trade him, boomz did since he is from Inter not Juve!
The only problem with him improving is Wilshere's value has just decreased so I wont get as much for him :(
My bad :-[. I lose track easily :P.
Unlucky about Wilshere. How much did he drop by price wise?
almost 1 mil :(
still hoping arsenal will offer lots for him though
They offer a little above the price that is currently set.
Selling off a guy who for me is 7.1 Mil worth. Selling him for 8.4 Mil. The higher the price, the more they will pay (gap).
My defence will be awesome now once I can sign my last 2 guys for a combined 8k 8).
8k or 8 mil?
Just realised coutinho can be on my field if I just shuffled it round a bit.
Lowest rated guy in my starting XI is 84 and that is both my CB's. Also 6 of my 7 subs have a rating of 80 or higher :D
aand that boys and girls is a sign of a reginen champ who is odds on favorite to win the title this season ;)
I mean 8 Mil :-[.
Most of my team will be weak, but if I play my cards right, could land 5 90+ rated players on field most rounds 8).
Haha I wouldn't be embarrassed saying I had 8 mil :P
Yeah I could have got some 90 players but preferred to get a balanced team instead. We will see which way works out better :)
Well I do have other players rated over 80 ;).
Going for these players for long term benefit ;).
Matterazzi went down 1. That seals his fate. Now to find a replacement...
Kuszczak will be here next day or two.
Busquets and Ozil will some sometime near the weekend.
Cardoba and Matinez are coming in to fill position needs 8). Then 4 cheap guys come in who are money makers 8). Hopefully I can get them before their price/stats rise :D.
Comfortable 3 nil win against HP this morning, however he didn't have any of his star players yet, so will be a lot harder come the league matches.
Got BP tonight in the Charity Shield match, which is being held at Wembley so hoping for a big turn out and lots of gate receipts :)
Beat the Fury 2nil this morning
Holman is back guys!!
great win ree considerin my averge starting 11 was 72 :P and my oldest player was 20:P nah good win holman mite dominate this yr
Haha why did you play your 2nd team!? players cant get fatigued or injured!
meh i just wanted to try somefin diffrent and unless i get a lucky streak in the cup and mak it to the semis and beyond thats the team that will b in the cup for the first few rnds
5-3 over the Jets today. I somehow doubt I'll win the Shield. My team is still in a state of flux.
Don't give up yet BP, you have beaten me before!

Yep. I'm not happy with such a loss, but Jones was my Keeper and getting in 3 new names today. Not to mention more to come next few days 8).
Keirra has been accepted to move back to Barcelona for 12.4 Mil :'(. He will be missed.
I'm sick of you getting all this money HP!!
same !!
I let you guys choose who came though :P. Ozil and Busquet remember CF ;).
Might bring in about 2-3 more players then I'm set. Got a bunch of 75 rated players I hope go through before they jump :).
Thanks for accepting that bid reesbr :). Going to really help my team.
No worries HP. I have too many players ;)
I have too many 10k players :P.
Haha yes I remember HP, but then you keep saying stuff like sold Keirrison for 12 mil! So you get more money, or was that part of the 40 mil you already had?
Nah. I have about 54 Mil after he sells not including any buys :P.
Just very smart Buying last pre season ;).
thats what i want from Vela, lets see if i can get that from Owen aswel..
So I've found my Materazzi replacement. Daniele Bonera is going to come in and represent Sydney. Reyes will also come in before seasons start
need 1 more cb.. i'll look for some 20k CB's..
I can loan you some of my 70 rated ones if you want?
yeah.. why not.. only 2 coz i already have 1 loan..
Choose them and I'll accept. Don't think I'll need them so why not help you out :).
later on, im playing stickcricket against my mate for a bit..
Hilly how much money do you have in the bank?
like 400k
I was like that last half of the season :P. But with even less :-X.
I would sell a player as you can't last with that this early in the season.
Well then what you should do is make some player exchanges then to get some better CB's
i need those players though!
I could tell you my secret of getting so much cash ;).
Quote from: HillHero13 on December 09, 2010, 07:03:40 PM

You have 3 keepers. You only need 1
CF, you actually need two incase of injury.
I've never seen a keeper get injured
What about Gomes over the weekend (or past week or two)? :P.
Then you have that Keeper who got hit in the head with a bottle :(.
Well I'm not sure why but you have to have 2 keepers on your list at a time. I couldn't sell Turnbull the first time as I only had Jones ::). Bought a 10k keeper to keep.

I have 3. But I may get rid of Georgiev and keep Bosnich :P
Haha I meant injured in the game HP :P
Oh you actually have to do you? I didn't realise that.
Even so he could sell his second choice keeper since he will never play for for 1 mil and then that money could be put toward getting a CB
Hey HP the offer you made for Aurtenetxe from Victory. Did you make that before or after he increased his rating??
Cos he went up +8 today!
Plus I got a message today saying I had a player rating change but checked and I didn't have any :(
DANG IT!!!!! I was hoping it would wait before he went up :'(. Wouldn't blame reesbr if he rejects me now.
Hoping the others I put a big for haven't yet :'(. Just hold off 2-3 more days :(.
AURTENETXE, Jon Melbourne Victory £4.6M £460k
JUANMI, López Málaga CF £1.3M £430k
ÃLVARO, Vázquez Espanyol £2.0M £370k
VICTOR, João Mallorca £2.5M £10k
The offer I put in was last compared to their price now :'(. Last guy would of been Sweet :(.
Well since he has already accepted I wonder if he will even notice that it has changed and cancel the trade?
So the others wont be accepted then?
Nup. I've been rejected before after something like this happens :'(.
But good news for Chelsea is that Aurtenetxe and Juanmi are in there :P.
Got rejected for them.
Reesbr, I owe you a BIG one :). But nothing crazy or throwing a match :P.
Keirra has sold for 12.7 Mil but I'll buy him next season for 4 Mil :D.
Ozil and Busquets have arrived at Gold Coast 8). They are worth 20 Mil a piece :o :o. ANd if they rise by 1, their price will be even more!!! :D.
please oh please reveal there secrets..
But then they wouldn't be secrets :P
naaa i want help with my team, only got 700k and not any good player Values to spend on money!
Well I would suggest selling Kennedy, Matic, and Greco. That should get you about 11 mil, possibly more.
Looking at your team since you have Vela, Owen and Santa Cruz you should play a 4-3-3 cos they are your best players. So you should set up like this to start:
Giovanni (80)
Elrich (80) - CB - CB - Aurelio (88)
McKay (80) - Roberto (80) - CM
Vela (87) - Owen (89) - Santa Cruz (89)
So obviously you need to pick up 2 starting CB's and a CM.
Looking on the TM you could buy the CB's Rodrigo and Carrozzieri who are both rated 85 for 2.9 and 2.8 mil respectively. Then for a CM you could pick up Dumont for 2.9 mil, he is also rated 85. That gives you a good starting base of a starting team who all rate over 80, and leaves you a bit of money to improve your backups.
Also when Owen and Vela stop being transfer banned you should sell them then buy cheaper players who are rated the same and improve the rest of the team with the money you make
thank you CF, Matic can not be sold until tomorrow.. sooo.. i will put him up then..
Haha HP you do ;)
Yay beat Sydney in the Charity Shield match 2-1 :)
Was a bit worried when they scored a penalty to bring it back to 1-1 with less than 20 minutes to go, but Mario Gotze managed to score then winner in the 87th minute
u get any money for it cf
Yeah got 500k for winning it, plus 900k in gate reciepts, so not bad at all :)
wilkshire of transfer ban in1 hour ;D
For me Wilshere has been off for about a week now, but still no offers for him :(
youd think arsneal would get him cos ryan nelsen went bak to blackburn and some of hp ppl went bak to ther origanl club and so did sturidge
Yeah I'm waiting for them to make a bid haha.
Cos Jeffren also went back to barca
well my cahill bid which was days away has been thown out the window
Quote from: HillHero13 on December 10, 2010, 12:45:55 AM
please oh please reveal there secrets..
Sell players rather than trade them if they are worth more like that. Many of my players who I sold for 7 Mil and 11 Mil were only worth 3 Mil and 4 Mil in player exchanges. I took a little longer but put myself in a better position. I rarely do player exchanges now that they'll updated the game to make it cost more ::).
Quote from: reesbr on December 10, 2010, 10:30:12 AM
Haha HP you do ;)
I can tell you a little secret via PM how to find good young talent who WILL rise ;). I just missed out on 3 others due to it being accepted 6-12 hours late :'(. Would of made an easy 6 Mil at least if I had gotten them all (not including the one you sold me).
Quote from: CrowsFan on December 10, 2010, 11:12:34 AM
For me Wilshere has been off for about a week now, but still no offers for him :(
Is he Transfer Listed? If he is, very unlucky as I got Chelsea to offer for Turnbull twice in less than a week.
Also, Martinez and Cardoba have joined Gold Coast :D.
Yeah he has been transfer listed for a while now. I guess they just don't want him back that badly haha
y u getin rid of him he is gona b a star
Cos he has just increased in rating so assume the EPL wont get re done for quite some time. I can sell him and pick up a player with the same rating for cheaper and keep the extra cash for emergencies
alrite fair enof
hawka did you want Cahill?
I was going to get him but he's very pricey compared to others around :o. I mean 8.8 Mil is enough to cover 2 of my other players brought in :o.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ozil and Busquets go up +2 to 93 each ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D. Thanks CF :). They are worth 30 Mil EACH 8) 8) 8). When I sell, I'll have almost 70 Mil between them from the original 30 Mil used for them ;D ;D. Watch out even more next season!!!
Mateos also got +3 to go to 80 :D.
Told you they would go up HP!
I think you have got this season and the next few seasons in the bag now!!
I thought it would be +1, but not +2 :o. Big suprise but I'll take it ;). Being young boosts the price even more :P.
Might have 100 Mil by the time next season starts :-X.
I am scared to face you now!!
If you don't win the league then it will be a massive upset!
I got lucky with the cash. If i don't win NEXT season, then it'll be a travasty :P.
Defence and Midfield are pretty stacked ;). Current team (once 2 more transfers go through) would be:
Kuszczak
Neville, Aurtenetxe, Cardoba, Braafheid
Garcia, Busquet, Ozil, Kewell
Torun, Martinez
Average price of over 10 Mil already despite 2 yet to arrive.
Ok well my side is:
Lindegaard
Santon - Sereno - Kiko - Castillo
Wilshere
Coutinho - Gotze
Obinna Canales
Bojan
Average rating of 86, with the lowest being 84 and the highest 88, so a very balanced squad
Nice side CF. Balanced with alot of youths.
BP is very lucky for the Sunday morning match.
Cardoba, Busq and Ozil will likely not play as well as Braafheid probably won't. Although whoever verses me round 2 could be in for it 8).
Still need to get your tactics right though HP, even a team full of quality players wont play well if the tactics are wrong ;)

Considering half my team isn't here yet I'm not sure that matters.
Will be organizing a few friendlies during the week so that I can see which tactics work and which don't.
So, who wants a friendly?
I do :D
You can organise your own friendlies??
Yep. Go to Calendar and can organise during the season. Doesn't affect fatigue.
Use to do it for my Villa side against Div 4 teams and win by like 5+ goals ;D.
Hahaha WOW does our season start tomorrow!?
Technically Sunday but tactics are in tommorrow night :P.
I thought we had 1 more friendly but found out we don't :(. And I also found out I've lost to Sydney 3 times last season :'(. All by 1-0 ;D.
Haha crap better try seal these deals before then aye
Takes about 2-3 days for somebody to sign :'(. SHould get in time for round 2 but fatigue could come in the way.
CF and reesbr, challanging you guys now. CF for Sunday and Reesbr for Thursday. Both are the day after the league matches. You can set up friendlies only on those 2 days.
Awesome ;)
Alright I accepted. It will be the battle of youth vs rating :P
Busq and Ozil are Youths :P.
Steven Pienaar or Freddy Kanoute?
I'm not sure...... Who do you like more?
hey hp if u want il do 1 not this sundy but nxt :)
IM gonna get kanoute
Quote from: hawka26 on December 10, 2010, 09:25:53 PM
hey hp if u want il do 1 not this sundy but nxt :)
Sure. Challenge others as well :). You can challenge me and I'll accept when I go on later. Can set for the entire season ahead if you want :o.
Nice Reesbr 8). Could be the man to watch for the Golden Boot or Assists this season ;).
im gona back ozil or that guys name i cant remember that cf bought in
Yeah him and Holman will be a dominant force 8)
sent hp ree and cf friendly requests for diffrent days..if u dont wana accept u dont have to 8)
Ozil wouldn't win golden boot since he is a midfielder. Could get the assists one.
I'm hoping Bojan wins the golden boot so the Roar get it both years :)
thats the person i wa tryin to say cf or hernandez if i keep him after his transfer end the day or 2 be4 xmas
Kewell and Martinez will be rotating Fwd/Wing for me :D. They are probably my biggest chances for Golden Boot but wouldn't count on it :P.
CF could get it as his team is all round ;).
Inzaghi is my biggest chance for Golden Boot...
Mine's probably Suazo. Altidore is young, Reyes and Rukatsvya will be too midfield minded
Im gonna go completely for the cup this season...
I'll play half my team for both :P.
If I make it to the Semi's, my full team will be for Cup 8).
Dynamo Moskva have made an offer to North Queensland Fury for Luke WILKSHIRE of £10,305,600
;D how ever if the bid is accepted now i cant play him 2moro nite
and i wont have enof time to bring a decent replacemnt in :-\
Sweet hawka 8).
Either take the money or try holding out for another 2 days and see if the offer still stands? I'm not sure if it does as I've never tried it before.
i accepted it so il b playin a 75 rater instead :-\ but i should b able to get 2 players that arnt to old rated in the 90s
I'm playing 2 75 rated players so you aren't alone (well more than likely).
im playin 3 2 in defence but ferrira who i just signed is 69% and wen i get wilkshire replacement and another defender the lowest playing i will have for 2 or so weeks will b sonny kittel at 77
I'm resting whoever isn't at least 95% fit. So that's my Big 3 signings.
Good luck hawka. Who are you going to buy with the money? Or save?
Accepted the Friendly Hawka.
Braafheid has arrived to boost defence. Torun should also arrive by tommorrow morning :D.
Sydney sign Bonera :-\. He is Def so can play in any defensive position. Quite a buy BP.
Finally got an offer from Arsenal for Wilshere, but less than I would have liked :(
Only £10,448,100 for him, plus also got an offer for Coutinho only an hour or so after putting him up for £7,308,000.
Accepted both, which means that with the money in the bank I will have a little over 20 mil, but will be bringing in a replacement for 1 of them so just tossing up who that will be at the moment
About time for Wilshere. I don't expect much more than your Chairman's evaluation of the player.
1 MASSIVE name, 2 Big names, 3-4 solid players, 6+ cheap money makers?
Which path will you take?
Most likely going to go for the 1 massive name, as I have good enough cover for rest of my team.
Thinking of bringing in Khedira, just wish I had got the offers before his rating went up! :(
Bonera has officially joined. Atletico is dicking me around for Reyes >:(

Xabi Alonso? If nobody gets him, I'll be jumping on him next season if he stays at 15 Mil.
Nah Alonso's wages are a little high for my liking.
Lucky for you you get Ozil and Busquets at wages for 91 rated players
Muller's was still at 88 when I sold :P.
All the MASSIVE names will have the big wages ;). But could possibly draw the crowds.
so hp do bigger names draw crowds
I have no clue but I can hope can't I :P.
Finished with my buying and have 5.9 Mil remaining :). Just stand by cash which might be spent on 70-75 rated guys on the up 8).
and ur gona need money for wages ;)
I'll see how much it is for my team now ;).
well i got my money for wilkshire now to buy some players
£430,310 is the total wage :o. 150k between Busq, Ozil and Cardoba. Got a few in the 20-30k region as well.
On a side note, I'm selling Brad Jones. Although if anybody wants him for Loan, they can have him :). He's rated 82 though ;).
nah i dont need him i could of done with him last season :P i can afford cahill :) but i can get a player rated 1 higher than cahill thats only 2 yrs older and have enof to get a 90 rated 2 yrs younger than cahill :-\
oh and hp remeber me u and averge the lowest crowds last yr so unless ur theroy on ppl comin to see the players works u mite get in debt and some stage
I figured I'll get in debt :P. Unless I win the Cup!!!! I was losing alot last season so didn't draw the crowds. If I win, hopefully it gets turned around ;).
QUite the predicament hawka. Get your Fav player or get a better player?
the better player im thinkin bout i9s a certain dutch player who u bidded for but withdrew ;)
Van Bommel?
yes do u stil want him cos im bout to bid
You can have him. Don't think I can handle another 50k wages :P.
I'll just delete him off my shortlist ;).
haha that last post was my 1000 post on this board so for a week or 2 im gona have david moyes as my dp :P
Nice 8). Joining CF as the other Football Coach ;).
im sure other ppl such as q,hh and andrew have 1000 posts on here il check

CF

HH are the coaches on here :D and q,andrew and flecth are close
Haha I have posted over 2500 times in the soccer board :)
Hmmm with the Charity shield causing fatigue it's looking like my first league game may be another installment of "The Adventures of the Sydney FC B-Team" :-\
bp ur b team beat my a team last yr which finidhed 3rd ;)

That's good? But it evens out as my Big 3 are missing from action :(.
Can I finally beat my losing streak?
My full side likely to play :D bye first round of the cup is handy.
I can say Busq will be making a Cameo appearance in our match BP ;).
Started off the season with a 1 nil victory over Wellington.
Dominated possession claiming 63% of it, also had 17 shots.
Plus Khedira will be arriving in Brisbane sometime tonight, ready for the match against HP ;)
Lost but midfield aid and mayb defence aid nxt game
Dominated 59% of the possessions and there was 40 shots all up, 22 being mine. 3-0 win over Sydney thanks to a Martinez Double 8).
Khedira coming in..... Not as good as Ozil :P. And you have to pay more as he has already risen hasn't he?
alright, need to get a young talen..
HP can you pm me how you found young talents that you could sell later on?
Yeah. Reesbr and CF already know but might as well post it on here so everybody can use it.
Go to their forums and look up player predictions (Forum tab, then English forum). Has a bunch of thread and some people will put up lists of upcoming league analysis rating predictions in which you can get a good idea on who to get who will go up.
Yeah it is costing me 11 mil for Khedira, but I don't mind since he is valued as over 20 mil by my chairman.
Wish teams had made offers for Wilshere and Coutinho before Khedira went up :(
Yeah. Hate when sometimes it takes so long.
I'm still waiting a week on my Cheivo account for an offer of 30 Mil for Mascherano ::).
putting in offers around the place hoping to make some cash off risers ;)
Im making a few too :D
I might buy another 1 or 2 in a week. Need to see how I stand on gate takings and merchandise.
I haven't used the forums to work out players that will rise I have just used my own knowledge of the game ;)
Good for you CF ;).
But I can't watch many games so need help for the risers.
Wow HP your wages are $430k! That is about 200k more than what I had last year!! :o

Wow HP your wages are $430k! That is about 200k more than what I had last year!! :o
Didn't you know? I said it a page or two back :P. Thats why I still have 5.9 Mil in the bank. Need to see how I fair financially next week or two before I invest more in Youths.
Busq, Ozil and Cardboard take up 150k between them :o.
Ruben Mino and Kamren Agayev will be coming to the Jets soon..
I didn't realise it was that much!
Once Khedira and Costa arrive tonight my wages will be about 350k, but will also have about 7 mil in the bank to cover for wages :)
Come next season, will likely leave 15 Mil in the bank to cover costs :P.
Diego Costa from Atletico?
That's the one.
PS you better be playing your full strength squad tonight for our friendly! ;)
Also playing you in the other league haha
Nice. I was eyeing him as well until he went up. Was going to get him as I needed a Fwd/Something else but he ended up costing 1 Mil more so decided not to. Looks good though ;).
Full strength side for sure but not sure on formations. Might keep the same as my league and see if they perform with the new guys in it. Will be trying different formations to see which one fits the bill for each match.
Yeah I'm trying to work out what formation works best for me too.
Might change it at half time to see which is better
Exactly what I'm going to do. See which half is more productive.
My formations for my last match could be good. But can't tell due to a B-grade opposition (no offence BP).
I just wish you could get stats from each half instead of just full match stats :(
That would be good. Guess we'll have to go by Goals scored :(.
None taken HP It WAS a B side. Half my players hadn't even arrived yet. I'm still waiting on one transfer
Yeah seems like it.
There are so many formations I can play since all my attacking players can play more than 1 position. I don't know which ones will work best!
Found my two formations which could work well. Busq as a holding DM while I attack through Ozil/Kewell/Garcia.
I have alot of defenders so leaning towards playing a 5 back. That'll be my 45 minute formation to see if it'll work out.
Well so far I have decided that I will definitely play with 4 at the back, and most likely with Khedira as the holding midfielder.
Will probably use the same formation I did against Wellington this morning for one half, but not sure on the other half yet...
Khedira and Costa have arrived :)
However neither are match fit, but luckily fitness isn't taken into consideration in friendlies.
Team has an average rating of 87 and age of 22
made a offer for van bommel 36 hours ago wonder y it hasnt been acepted
I'm guessing since it's Europe, takes a little while to get over? ;D. Only way I can explain it. Maybe just about 2 days for it to be accepted, a few hours to arrive.
Nice CF 8). Lets see the battle of the BIG GUNS!!! Average ratings is about the same as that as well ;).
no for me ive ntoiced thats its a day for it to be acceptd and 18 hours minum to they move
lol just was accepted
Hmm that is strange indeed hawka. Mine are usually accepted exactly 24 hours later...
In our match tonight I'm playing 2 formations I have never tried before so we will see what happens haha
Quote from: hawka26 on December 12, 2010, 10:51:26 PM
no for me ive ntoiced thats its a day for it to be acceptd and 18 hours minum to they move
I find it to be about 12-14 hours until they move
It takes them from 2-3 days to accept. Then maybe 12 hours or less to move.
So just worked out that going by my current wages and how much money I have I can last till week 17 before going in to debt. However that was not taking into account any income I get from gate reciepts, tv revenue, sponsors etc.
From just TV revenue since that is constant in 16 weeks I will get just over 2 mil (as will everyone else) :)
cf u ould also sell players but the probelm with the aleague is we get small crowds and small staduim capacticys whi hmeasn less money compared to the fanfooty cup
Kanoute and Eboue have arrived! Holman is on fire!
yep holman yet another 1 agianst me but i stil got the win :) u should b a contnder this yr ree
I could be but I need to beat the likes of you HP and CF to be a chance ;)
Just made an offer for Johan Djourou ;D
So lost to HP in a friendly last night 2-1 :(
Was testing out a different formation in each half and looks like the first one worked better as I was 1 nil up at half time, but then conceded 2 in the second. HP also changed formations at half time.
Good game HP, looking forward to the real matches now ;)
It was a good game. Ozil and Martinez look to make a good Duo. Both got a Goal from the other assisting ;D.
Lets hope they can play together when it really matters 8).
Also, Nice buys Reesbr ;). My team isn't all that you know ;). Just the 2 big names ;D.
I have one more deal to work for now. I'm going to bring in Armand Traore to shore up the left back spot
Stevan Jovetic and Roysten Drenthe have been bidded on by Adelaide United :)
what is everyone thinking bout Lukaku's chances of going up in the next rating change and by how much ?
I wouldn't have a clue as he plays in the Belgium Leagues. Maybe check their forums or ask that question yourself? They probably know more about football players than us ;).
I would expect him to either keep his current rating or rise by 1 maybe.
Jovetic and Drenthe have arrived and will play a small part in tonights game
Nice ZZ 8). Almost forgot about setting my teams!!!
Just changed my Villa team to have one with original players and in season 1. Forgot the first match and escaped with a 1-0 win ;D.
Won my first game of the yr 8) But GC and Brisbane are the early front runners
Pretty disapointed to lose to the Fury. Off to a bad start
What a comeback against the heart!!
Down 2 nil and then scored 3 goals in the last 23 minutes to win the match! :)
Forgot to change tactics from the friendly against HP so changed formation at half time, which payed off as I then scored 3 goals :)
Huge win for hilly beating zz 6-2! :o
65% possesion and still can't score more than one goal.
What. A. Flowering. Load
Cardoba got sent off and only a 1-0 win :(.
Next round is you verses me CF 8).
damn it! Fabio Aurellio got badly injured!!
dissapointing result >:( change of tactics and formation coming up
Well that's going to be an exciting match HP.
Let's see who can get the upper hand early on
Need to work out more tactics in my friendly tonight.
Wow just looked at the stats for the Newcastle v Adelaide match that Newcastle won 6-2 and it is a huge upset for the Jets!
Adelaide had more possession - 55 to 45%, more shots 21 to 10, more shots on target 15 to 6 and more corners 12 to 9, yet got thumped.
Every Jets shot on target was a goal!
What a massive upset :o
I think we call that skill CF ;).
Trying out another formation against NQF tonight :)
im playin my 2nd 11 .......with the cup starting nxt week i will b playin my 2nd 11 if the cup so its a practice for em
Well I will be very disappointed if I don't knock a few goals past you then.
I have a bye in the first round of the cup :)
probaly more then a few ::)
So hawka why don't you want to win the cup?
You get more money for winning that than you do for winning the league!
if i get to the semis i will play the first team
and also by playin my first team in the regular league others will b playin there 2nd team
Yeah that is true.
I think 9 of my second team are rated above 80 still :)
:o impressive
Beat HP 3-1 in our friendly last night
Drew 4 all against hawka last night even though I was playing my A team and he was playing his B team. I am not a happy manager! >:(
Was down 3-1 at half time, then was winning 4-3 but conceded a goal only a few minutes later
Quote from: reesbr on December 17, 2010, 11:31:28 AM
Beat HP 3-1 in our friendly last night
So diamond formation doesn't work. Back to the drawing board. Good win still Reesbr.
Unfortunately both Khedira and Costa are less than 90% fit so will not be starting tonight against HP.
My only consolation is that Ozil is only 92% fit for HP...
Ozil will either be subbed off or be subbed on ;). Not sure yet. Will only know at about 11 tonight :P.
Benjy hasn't been on here for a while so his Wellington Pheonix just lost it's manager :(. Maybe somebody else could take over so we still have a FF league?
yeah.. i'll try and PM a few people..
ML maybe

i would but i already have two teams :(
make another account?
yer BB either u or ML i reckon unless any1 else wants it
versuing wellington who will b reeling after there coach resigned :P expecting a nice win
i'm playing Melbourne Heart..
i really want to have a solid season so i will look for the win...
Same hh wont a rely solid season but gona b hard to top cf and hp
I faded last season after a good start :'(.
but ur team is 5 times beta ;) than last yr
I've only Upped Keirra and Muller ;). Buy some sure players bound to rise before next time you can trade them out. I bought Muller and he rose giving me cash. Which I used of Ozil and Busq before they were due to rise, which they did soon after :D. But they rose more than expected ;).
Smart buying and anybody can be in my position ;).
I'll be Wellington if you need me.
Ok so I am Wellington and am in a huge hole. Team isn't very good and I only have 3 mil. Anyone care to help?
exactly like me last year..
get those good guys from the epl through player exchanges..
looked at your squad and there is no one the woth a transfer ban..
thats how i got Owen Vela and Santa Cruz..
just get the big players that are cheap through player exchanges, then after a while transfer list them and then you het cash..
I am looking at MLS players as they are being reviewed.
Try trading players Like Hilly says :). Get rid of players who you can exchange for even better players. Bring in a few loans from other teams if you need the extra players to play games (upgrade some parts via this for the timebeing).
Also, pay attention to you Chairman's valuation of future buys. Try to buy players who are worth more than what you are paying for. So when it comes time to sell them, you can make more money for them (e.g 4 Mil for Keirra turned into 8-9 Mil by the time I sold him without any rating changes). This helps alot for future planning.
P.S Don't go for MLS or J-League. They can't get players rated over a certain amount and if you don't know the leagues, really hard to find the gems.
Only bought 3-4 players. Might withdraw one deal. Not sure who I can bring in and who I should deal away. Not many players of value.
Yeah, never many cheap players for value. At least next time I trade, I'll have a good amount of cash to use :).
I didn't buy many cheap players. Took in 3 big name players, surrounded by lower rated players which went against me. Many were 75-80 rated just to get a solid base. If you can get higher rated players for cheap go for it. But make sure when you sell them back (end of season), won't be turning in a loss :).
I've put an offer in for Escude right now to strengthen my defence. Will look at others I can deal.
Have made a few offers and getting rid of North and Ifill. Hope this makes my team look respectable.
Nice ML. Look to buy them back once you have spare money ;). I'm eyeing Culina but 7 Mil :o.
No point getting Culina back if he's that much. I have bidded on quite a few young players that have overalls better than the players I am getting rid of.
Nice ML :D.
That's what I thought. I got Muller with him ;). Too much right now. Might get him in the future though as he does play for GC.
Just because he did play for GC doesn't mean you have to get him back. Hopefully my transfers come by Monday.
I have been put in a tough situation losing both my first 2 games, but my new recruits should help me through.
well u bloddy beat me ML
Big 5-1 win over Perth Glory!!
Well got pumped 4-2 by HP :(
Stats showed it should have been closer since I had more shots than him. Oh well will just have to beat him next time.
Was hoping he would rest players since he will be playing in the cup in a few days, but he did not...
Beat my cup rival uzz 1-0. But it came at a heavy, heavy price. Both Reyes and Altidore injured :'(
Quote from: hawka26 on December 19, 2010, 09:37:26 AM

Sorry Hawka. :P
I'm bringing heaps of new players.
well thank god ive already verused u
I don't know if my team will respond well to half of the players being dealed away.
u mite have to bring in alot of cheap 10k players
to make sure u have 21 players all the time
I should have at least 21. Most of the deals have been 1 for 1.
oh ok

Happy with the Goals Fest (another one). Ozil and Busq (and Kewell) should also be fit for the Cup match if I decide to play them 8). Wanted to go in with a near full strength side as if I won, I had a game clear for top spot. COmes in handy if I decide to drop :P.

I'll be after Williams next season ;).
Not if I beat you to him. ;)

Ahhh I see. As the defending cup champion I have a bye so I could play my team
I also have a bye for the cup. Wonder why. ???
What happened to Central Coast?
theres only 10 teams and cc was avilbe to pik
A team had to be out due to the need of having to have an even number of teams.
I would of gone for the Mariners if they were in ;).
This was a SM created league and we didn't choose the teams in the league itself ;).
So they kinda scrapped them?
I am waiting for my new transfers to come in. Can you guys see who I have bidded on?
Only if we search on the TM (long and hard) or have that player shortlisted.
Otherwise, we don't know until the transfer is complete.
Ok wasn't sure. I can make a list. Might later.
Bidded on:
Tim Ream
Sean Johnson
Danny Mwanga
Jeremy Pied
Mame Diouf
Lopez Rafa
Joao Pedro
Aaron Hunt
Pablo Zabaleta
Simon Mignolet
Facundo Coria
They're the only ones I bidded on.
same nice names there ;)
Yer they are improvements from what I am giving. Only spending 500k and sold Paston to CCM for that. :)
Looks good ML. Not the biggest names but all should be solid for you.
In a friendly against the Fury, won 4-0 as I don't think they played their full side :(.
Half of the players have come in. :)
My squad is looking a lot stronger. ;D
Up against Adelaide United where I should get absolutely smashed. ZZ playing his first team while I'm playing a majorly 2nd string team.
b team 2 nite
and sorry hp wasnt sure ifi could get on my comp 2nite so i hput my b team in
i'm thinking of getting Kevin Nolan in soon.. after Greco goes to Roma..
i don't know if i should..

It's no problem hawka. Just was seeing if my formations would work. Friendlies don't cut into fatigue so can play your full strength side if you want ;). I always do.
Nice Hilly. Would he be worth the money compared to others?
I can't help but keep bringing in all these young guys. Team should be pretty good. ;D
Will play Hilly with my new squad next match.
yes but look out for the likes of Roque Santa Cruz, Michael Owen and Carlos Vela!!
I will hopefully have a more balanced side than 3 stars. All should be over 80.
Took my Santa :'(. He's one of my Fav players :-*.
Whom did I take? I'm surprised you haven't gone after A.Young.
i got him last season!
Roque Santa Cruz. Hilly bought him last season. If I had gotten him, he wouldn't be out of my team again ;). He still plays for my Chievo side despite being the worst Forward I have ;D.
I'll go for Young eventually ;). Next season is when I pounce on my favourites.
I'll take Agbon then. ;)
I thought you meant that I had taken one of your favourites. I have one of mine in Mame Diouf. ;D
Haha I was going to go for young next week :P
I'll go for him in a few seasons when you decide to sell him back to Villa :P. I have patience.
Can build on a few other favourites while I wait ;D.
I will be looking at some of my favourites, but they are expensive. :(
I might not go for him. Trying to decide who I will bring in for canales when I sell him in a few days once his TB ends
Pato? Rossi?
Quote from: MajorLazer on December 21, 2010, 01:10:33 AM
Pato? Rossi?
I prefer Nilmar to Rossi to be honest.
I could bring Pato to the A League next season.......
I like Lukaku ahead of both of them.
Please don't get Pato. He's one of my favourites. :P
Alright, I'll just get Messi instead :P.
Ok. Whatever. Just not Pato. :P
Also considering buying nani or krasic
I think Nani ahead of Krasic.
I'd got for somebody who can play 2 positions instead of one ;). Gives some added flexibility.
I would go Young, Nani then Krasic but depends on who you like more ;).
well my b team got smashed
but i guess i can focus on the league now and hopefully beat a few teams b teams
Gold coast out of the cup!
Lost on penalties after a 2 all draw with adelaide
not gona hope ur title hopes cf :P u can expect his a team from him now
Yeah buy after winning the league last year I am going for the cup this year :)
Also you get more money for winning the cup ;)
Yeah im going for the cup. Get alot more money ;)
lol ree that was our 4th match agianst each other since the season started
Lol building a rivalry ;D
holman is ::) he scorted 4 goals agianst me i luv the guy but y does he hate fury :P
Hahaha hes just hungry for goals
Lost 5-4 on penalties. Can't ask much more from a B team pushing a Full Strength Adelaide A team ;).
Happy with what they put on. Verdi scored 2 goals, might see some more action now :P. Might also want to know I played the second hallf of the match with a man down ;).
I'm still in the Cup. ;D
I might also add it was 24 shots to 9. And I only got 2 of those 9 shots on target :P. ZZ should of expected more from his A team ;D.
Well then I could beat him. I'm not sure if I'm going for the cup or the league though.
i had a Bye! ;D
I just wrote an article in the newspaper for our league ;)
I'll take a look later if I go on. I haven't seen an article posting in any of my leagues :P.
Haha neither had I untill someone posted one in my Notts County league
Nice read there reesbr ;)
Maybe HP you could start doing your match reviews again and write them for the newspaper? Only if you have time though of course :)
Haha yeah why not ;)
I'll see. Coming into Christmas not the best time then gotta get to the books. Will see what I can do CF.
If I do, I'll post it there and here :).
i mite write a arcticle sometime this wk
Nice article HP. :)
May have to write one describing the situation at Wellington.
Just something quick :P. But remember, I'll be able to play a near full strength side almost every round ;).
I hopefully will be able to.
Nice read HP ;)
I see everyone is getting in to writing articles now. BP has also written one
Kevin Nolan is making his way over to the Newcastle Jets from Newcastle United
mite do 1 2nite
GRR our gameworld has been closed temp for maintence i need to do my team
I did mine just before it shut. Hope it remembers it :-\
I haven't done mine yet...
u can get into it now :)
I had already done my team though
read my article in the thing..
Kevin Nolan one ?
Also does anyone know what they were working on ?
yeah..
yeh i read it earlier today, good read was thinking of doing one myself bout my recent signing Jelle Vossen but didnt end up doing it :)
I need to do my team. Will go on a bit later.
You know hilly you could have got some better players than Nolan for that price.
You should buy them from from better teams since those players will be valued less.
Such as Sulley Muntari from Inter. Rated 89 and only 5 mil
cant wait till they get into the J-League and MLS more ive got a few players who should jump in rating quite a bit ;)
i want em to get to the k-league u would think that saso ogvenski will go up great asian CL performances was great in the club world cup
Lost 3-1 against Adelaide playing a few of my reserves but still a good win to Adelaide
Beat Sydney 2-1 after going down 1 nil early on.
Will be facing Sydney again in the cup next week so good to see how we both played.
Playing NQF on Saturday and will mostly be playing my B squad but can still hopefully pick up a point or three.. ;)
nice win for me playing my ful B-Team :)
beat Wellington 4-3 this morining..thriller of a match with 6 goals scored in the first half!
I know what a match. :)
Too bad I lost. :(
4-1 Win against the Fury. Dominated possession but plenty of shots fired.
A Kirilov double in the second half sealed it 8).

Canales is now transfer listed.
Once he sells I will be bringing in possibly the biggest name to come to the a league apart from zanetti :)
who is it ??
It's a secret ;)
Don't want anyone hijacking the bid since another club is interested in him...
Ozil is pretty big.. didnt he get like one of the best in the world cup??
well he was if he didnt win it..
Well this guy is also one of my favourite players :)
No the winners at the world cup were Diego Forlan for best player, and Thomas Muller for best young player
what position ? ;)
i think i no who it is
Want to PM me then hawka?
Oh and he is a striker
have you bidded him yet ?
Kalou?
naa his not that big...
is he in the premier league?
Pmed you 3 names who i think it could be CF
Nah haven't bid on him yet.
Might as well tell you who it is since hawka already knows.
It will be berbatov :) he is one of my favourite forwards ;D
haha i was wrong with all my guesses :(
Yeh doubt anyone else will try and get him that would be quite unloyal i think
I don't have that much cash left. I have stopped buying players :). Will only sell if I have to get quick cash ;).
Good Luck CF and hopefully he can do well for you ;).
Im still trying to sell just waiting on a few of my players to get their transfer ban lifted

Good luck Hawka. Might take a bit of effort though to make it big :D.
Selling Jones for 2 Mil. Some back up for Money + Wages.
Playing most of my b squad tonight since I want to do well in the cup, hopefully will still win though...
Also when Berbatov arrives I will still have over 8 mil left to cover wages and any emergencies :D
bringin in 2 oldies but will b good for at least 3 seasons if i dont sell em...delap rated 87 but is a postion of MID so can play anywere in the mid and heskey rated 88
Nice buy hawka. I like buying Def players as they are versatile down back. Have a few (think 3 as I'm replacing a 80 rated guy with a 83 rated guy). It's a very smart plan ;).
Sold Jones for 2 Mil. Spending 1.1 Mil of that to upgrade 2 Defenders (Both 80 to a 83 and 84 guy).
Good Luck all tonight and Hopefully I continue to dominate 8).
yer nxt m oney i get gona get a either 89 or 90 rated def

I'm thinking you probably will CF. My best player (Reyes) is already out, Altidore's 50-50
My defense HP consists of a 87 rated RB, 2 84 rated CB's and an 86 rated LB :)
my def will b be boasted soon currently it sits 80-83-89-88 but the 80 guy will b replaced by a 88+ guy and expect the 83 guy to go up wen they do the k-league
Well Ozil and Busquet cut into the cash :P.
Nice defences you guys but mine is on the up and I prefer a little depth there :). 87, 84, 90, 83, 83 will likely be how my defence plays ;). Then an 80 and 78 Def players on standby as well as Ozil/JT who can play on the LWB 8).
Would that 88 guy possibly be Laurent Koscielny?
Isn't he just a CB CF? ;D. He's cheap though and I have shortlisted right now.
Ah yes I didn't notice he was talking about replacing a RB.
Yeah I have been considering Koscielny for a while now, not sure if I should make a move or not...
I would get him but already have enough wages to deal with and need as much money in the bank as I can get. So I won't be touching him until next season..... ;).
hes on my shirtlist but dont need a def rite now
finnaly got a win even if it was just CFs b team but he had 2 guys sent off that also happend to my oppent in the fanfooty cup and wat a game between gc and jets busquets 4 goals :o
oh and some luck for every1 besides hp ozil is injured and wont play til mid feb :P
Got pumped 3 nil by NQF even though had more shorts (10 to 6) and the same number on target (6 each). Certainly didn't help that one of my CM's got sent off after 15 minutes and my LB sent off just 2 minutes later meaning I spent over 70 minutes with 9 players.
I am not happy at all >:(
just cheked and im playin sydney nxt so i reckon we will see a b team from them :D
Well goodluck hawka, not taking anything away from you as you deserved to win our match.
I just don't understand why I had 2 players sent off, especially since I don't set my tackling to hard or aggressive...
my tackling was hrd and i got 3 yellows but lol CF i dont think this is a tackle
SENT OFF - A second yellow card for Xabier CASTILLO for touching the ball before the opposition could take the free kick
Gold Coast continue there Winning streak going 2 games ahead but have coped a MASSIVE BLOW. Ozil is out for the season :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(.
In a Goals Galore against the Jets, I won 4-7 :o :o :o. Great goals fest but did we expect anything less from our sides? 1 goal each to Hilly's big 3 forwards while Busq scored a whopping 4 goals :o. Now him and Martinez have scored 5 goals each (over 5 games each).
Gold Coast dominated possession 42-58. Shots fired everywhere with Jets firing 15 compared to GC's 34 (WTF). Shots on target were 12 (nice efficency on shots for Jets) compared to my 18 ::).
With Ozil out for the season, his contract will still count towards the wage but he won't be back. 7 week injury with 6 weeks or so left :'(. Hopefully Busq can carry the midfield weight with a lesser Playmaker next to him. Likely Ortiz or Garcia at this stage.
P.S Thanks hawka for beating CF :). And BP's B-Team wins again!!!
Yeah just noticed you had 34 shots HP that is insane!! More than 1 every 3 minutes!
Hard luck about losing Ozil, especially since you have to continue paying his wage when he is injured, but at least you will get lots of money when you sell him.
Haha yeah hawka not a tackle just plain stupidity!
Going to be hard to catch HP now. What an improvement from last season :o
At least I am still in second :)
hp for u its gona b a bit like boomz and dirra last yr except u have to pay more wages :P
1-1 draw playing my B-Team vs Hearts (i think A-team), Also Got Heart in the cup soon so should hopefully advance to the next round in that.
Also in the note of defence i think i have one of if not the strongest defence, 84, 94, 88, 87
Quote from: Hellopplz on December 26, 2010, 10:10:38 AMAnd BP's B-Team wins again!!!
After scoring with our only 2 shots on target :P
Going to be a good match in the cup between us BP ;)
Lucky for you Berbatov wont be match fit then so wont be featuring for Brisbane...
When i get the cash which wont be for a while ive got another BIG name to bring in ;)

hp for u its gona b a bit like boomz and dirra last yr except u have to pay more wages :P
Yeah, only difference is, when I sell him, I'll make a bundle that's worth keeping him on bench ;).
I faded last season but at least I've got Busq, Cardoba and Kewell/Martinez still playing :D.
Just wrote an article about Berbatov if anyone wants to read it...
i wrote 1 last nite bout my new ppl wil read later :)
Yeah I read that, it was good ;)
4-78 ::) well at least i put up a fight..
Brisbane next!
thx CF great arcticle as well
Nice article about Ozil's injury HP ;)
Thank CF.
Nice articles by you two. Just read them before I wrote it up last night.
YEP another good 1 hp im enjoyin reading these i hope to do1 a week
Berbatov will be playing the final 30 minutes of the match tonight as he makes his much anticipated debut
After a dull nil all draw with Sydney the Roar won 3 nil in the penalty shoot out. Should have won the match in normal time though since I had a total of 26 shots with 14 on target compared to sydneys 5 shots and 4 on target. I will
now play phoenix in the semi final.
Also out of the 4 matches 3 went to penalties
Beat the Jets 3-2 with some of my younger guys playing. Albrighton was the star with 2 goals
When do the A - League ratings go up??
Robbie Kruse is due to go up a bit surely, the way he is playing
Full Time 1-1
Lost in penalties 0-1
That's why im keeping Leckie and Flores :P
well they did aleague in feb last yr and there currently doin japan,usa and korea so u think its closeim gona be bringin in a few players that u blokes traded away who i reckon will go up
Not sure when the a league ratings will change. When they decide to get around to it I guess...
So the 2 semi finals are:
Roar v Phoenix
Victory v Heart
A nice Melbourne derby for the second semi final :)
Will be a very tough game. We are playing them in the league match this wekk as well
I forgot to change my side...Again :'(
Same, but still got the win on penalties.

A Heavily fatigued version of my b squad yes :P
Playing my B-team against the Heart. Saving them up for the Cup
Playing my b team against Jets too.
Hopefully they will be doing the same after all their a teamers will be tired from their cup match
another huge name to join adelaide united very soon ;D
Whos that??
gonna give me a very strong DM line as im gonna have him and Zanetti playing next to each other as DMs ;)
Ill tell you now as the bid has already been accepted... Paul Scholes :)
well i am playing a very second string side..
have to rest all my players..
Scholes has arrived but will not be playing part in tonights game, where the second side will be playing as the first side is still recovering from the tough cup loss
I haven't checked who I'm playing yet. Will be setting tactics later 8).
First match without Ozil :-\. Lets see how his replacement fairs.
Well the A Team will be out for me since I forgot to change for the cup :P Sadly I'm playing hawka so it's actually a moot point
won :D and climbing up the ladder
1-1 draw :-\ Raul won MOTM coming off the bench at the start of the second half ::) ;D
but back to the full strength side next week :)
im in big trouble!
Happy with that result as I played most of my B Team.
Still down at 9th though. :(
First game without Ozil was a 1-1 draw with the Glory. Gold Coast dominated so expected a win but at least I'm still top and undefeated.
Busquets is injured for a few days so ZZ gets lucky that he doesn't get to play with both my big names missing ::).
*sigh* I give up...

and Scholes will be debuting :)
My team is struggling to find form though :-\
Beat newcastle playing a mostly b squad with a couple of a teamers.
Khedira unfortunately got a red card and will be suspended for 3 matches :(
I'm catching you HP ;)
Well the injuries are mounting ::).
Again going to play a mixture of b teamers and a teamers, since I want my team at full strength for the cup semi final.
Up against perth so not expecting too much from the match to be honest, but we will see what happens...
;D another win 3rd in a row and all of a sudden outa nowere im in 3rd..my team is finaly starting to show how good it can be
but there was a little when i lead 3-0 then it was 3-2 after 2 newcastle goals in 3 mins
Lost to perth, but not too surprised since it was a b squad.
Dropped from second to fourth because of that.
I'm now regretting trying to win the cup...
this is really annoying..
i am trying to rest my players but its not letting me!!
i had a completely different team to that set up!!
did u remember to save em
Quote from: hawka26 on January 02, 2011, 12:42:10 PM

that's what i was going to ask
yeah i saved it..
Hey reesbr I made an offer for one of your players...
Nah sorry mate
How much do you want for him then?
Im waiting for him to rise ;)
Oh :(

Rose bagged a hatrick in what is likely to be his last game at the club, but with the win Adelaide suffered a heavy 3 week injury on centre right back Ranocchia.
Congratz ZZ. I'm happy as long as the Roar didn't make any ground ;).
Might call for a change of tactics now as it cost too much in the first 60 minutes.
im chasing u as well hp ;)
You won the first half 1-2 didnt you though ?
Quote from: chrisuzz on January 02, 2011, 08:20:40 PM

Check again ;).
HP you were up 2 nil after 30 minutes and then conceded 5 goals!
I won!! ;D
cant be bothered :P

HP you were up 2 nil after 30 minutes and then conceded 5 goals!
:'(. At least I scored *blows raspberries.
ZZ, I meant first 60 minutes, before my tactics swap.
Ah well, always next round.
u injurde my main CB though
might transfer him out though they are offering me 10.5 mil
Sorry ZZ :(. Saw he is out for the next 6 rounds at least.
Dont worry, might transfer him, ill check when his contract runs out on SM, ment to be a future star
So are Ozil and Busq but I'll take 60 Mil over both of them in a heartbeat ;).
yeh im just gonna get rid of him, then probs get a new Centre Right Back whil im at it
Think you can get a 90+ rated one for like 7 Mil or 8 Mil.
yeh, was thinking maybe a young one, but i wanna say a few mil to upgrade another player
Also the deal for Lewis Holbty has been accepted and he is now on his way to Adelaide United
Luke Young??
Gabriel Milito is cheap :o
Might go rodwell
Cup semi final time tonight ;D
Going in with full strength team (minus Khedira), but Berbatov will be starting his first match for the club, hopefully he will get some goals against the Phoenix.
In the other match it is a Melbourne derby with Victory taking on Heart
Comfortable 2 nil win over the phoenix setting up the final to be played between Brisbane roar and Melbourne victory who beat heart 4 nil
Forgot to change my squad again. >:(
Have relatives over so I'm not using comp as much.
Unlucky ML but at least you made it further than me ;).
Congratz CF and reesbr. Should make for a cracking final.
Thanks HP.
Might write up a match preview for the final soon...
Interesting to note I have never lost to Melbourne Victory
Up against Reesbr and hoping to break my non-winning streak :(.
Busq is back in action :D.

I hope you don't :P
Up against Adelaide and could well possibly lose again...
Haha. I'm 4 points ahead of the pack, but have to keep that lead hopefully.
But no Ozil is hurting the structure :'(.
what's this game like? any good?
hey jt u should do our other soccer manger and b leeds united ;)
just made one :)
what do ya do?
Quote from: hawka26 on January 05, 2011, 11:41:00 PM
hey jt u should do our other soccer manger and b leeds united ;)
or anyone else..
simple JT
get a team, set tactics for matches, bid for players, sell players.. very easy..
Milan is free but don't have to take leeds..
JT go to Soccer Manager - FanFooty Cup thread and ask shaggy for a job offer of a team you would like..
well he isa leeds man hh ;) but take whoever u want
whose shaggy and job offer??
thanks for the help btw
8-6 suited ;)
it's a private league, he created it so he has to make you an offer before you can take control of the team..
well im contuing my winning streak to 4 games my new recurit bellamy scored twice :D
Lost again!!! Down to 5th now :(
This is the last time I focus on the cup!! even if it does get you more money
not focusing on the cup was the best thing that coupld of happen have won every game in the league while the cup has been on
Well the new formation is working, ive knocked off two of the leagues heavy weights in the past 2 games :)
You have put together a very strong side there zz! Quite the darkhorse to pick up the championship
didnt think anyone was gonna notice, but thanks for that CF just getting one more player in and my team will be set for a whie :)
1-1 draw with Victory :'(. Victory controlled possession but I took 22-6 shots on goal ;D.
Everybody is within a game of me so gotta lift to keep a lead at the halfway mark of the season.
Trust me I have noticed :P
I wonder if I would have done any better against you if I had had a fully fit team?
Guess we will find out in the reverse fixture ;)
I still would of won :P ;D
Well my team will be hopefully a tad better by then, and it will be at my home ;)
Just out of curieosity (excuse the spelling :P) what is everyones starting 11 avg, price and age, of there best 11 ?
Starting XI average:
Rating - 87
Price - 23
Age - £8.7 mil
I'll check up later.
No Ozil hurts it though :'(.
Okay well mine at the moment is
Starting XI average:
Rating - 87
Age - 24
price - 8.3mil
Rating should go to 88 when my new transfer comes in though :)
So CF you and me are fairly even looking at statistics :)
Yeah we are, unfortunately for our match I was missing Khedira so only had a rating of 86...
i think youve got better bench players though right ? no one on my bench rates above 80 :-\ they shoud after they finsih reviewing the J-League though :)
Yeah everyone on my bench rates over 80 :)
My bid for Rafeal of Man United has been accepted so he should be ready for my next fixture if i get him in before i go out tonight :)
Takashi USAMI 75 +8 83
Yasushi ENDO 75 +5 80
Got some handy rating changes just then :)
Nice stuff zz :)
thanks gives me a bit mor confidence when making subs now :)
Awesome ZZ. Some nice buying there :).
Hopefully can get back to winning ways tonight with a victory over Melbourne Victory. However I am playing my B squad so not sure what will happen. My only consolidation is that hopefully Victory will also be playing the B squad since they are my opponent in the cup final on Monday night.
I will also have a new player by Monday, but they wont be match fit and so will either make a short appearance from the bench if needed or make their debut against Phoenix.
The other matches tonight are:
- Bottom of the table clash between 9th placed Perth and 10th placed Newcastle.
- 4th placed Adelaide host 3rd placed North Queensland
- Top of the table clash as 2nd placed Melbourne Heart host league leaders Gold Coast
- And last but not least 7th placed Wellington host 6th placed Sydney
Might be a good match between you two. The B teams go at it :P.
Versing the Heart might hurt :(.
I bought a forward for 10k a while back (Chievo!!!!) and now I can trade him away for 1.3 Mil (instead of selling him for 460k). Looking to bring in another player soon 8).
Pretty funny how this week the games are:
1 v 2
3 v 4
6 v 7
9 v 10
My game is the only anomaly as it is 5 v 8.
I'm guessing his rating was improved HP? How much did he go up?
Hoping for a draw in your match and the Adelaide v NQF so I can hopefully catch on all of you haha ;)
Bought a bunch of 10k players for a little back up. He went from 70 >> 75 :D. Plays for Chievo so a bonus ;D.
I'm hoping I can win to maintain top spot ::). But in my recent form :'(.
My form has been worse. I have lost 3 of my last 4 league matches :'(
hoping for my 4th or 5th win a row (cant remember :P )
So turns out Victory used their A team so I lost 1 nil.
What is even worse is that I picked up 3, yes that's right 3 injuries from the match! Including one to Berbatov who was only on the ground for 15 minutes, so he will now miss the Cup final!! >:( >:( >:(
Hell yes!!
I rested Kanoute CF ;)
Are you saying hell yes cos Berba is injured?
I have written a match preview for the final in the newspaper section. Have a look ;)
Another 1-1 Draw. With Reyes gone for almost the rest of this season it's time to admit that this one's a dead loss and prepare for the next. Suazo will be gone in the next day or two
Nice read CF. A conspiracy theory, I like ;).
A solid 1-0 win over Heart despite taking 27-7 shots on goal (15-3 on target for only 1 goal) ::). Schwarz should of rated better than 7 after that effort!!
4 Points clear of Fury at the half way point. A big GD of 10 is nice :D.
im real glad were im placed...wating for hp to slip :)
Haha thanks HP, hopefully I get revenge in the cup :)
Ibrahim Afellay may make an appearance from the bench for me if things aren't going well ;)

I got use to it last season*blows raspberries.
Haha I'm not used to losing!!
forgot to set my team so lucky to get away with a win seeing as none of my subs came on lol Hleb another 10/10 performance :D
haha ur lucking i couldnt get on in tim to put Rafael on, i woulda got a clean sheet and won ;) :P
Hahaha good read CF bring it on :)
I dont have Park for our match either :(

The final would be so much better if we could play our best squads!
Good luck though. I'm just excited for the ticket revenue :)
Yeah it would be awesome!
But we still have some quality players out there ;)
Haha you too. Yeah that will be awesome
Nice in CF with fellay :o.
Since I brought in Afellay my formation will be changing though to take advantage of all my attacking players...
he was cheap was gona go for him if i hd the money ::)
Set my tactics for the cup final.
The formation I have been using recently hasn't really worked, so trying out something new.
Could be a bad idea doing something different in the final, but doing it anyway haha
just to add some pressure, if u dont win you probs wont get a trophy this season ;)
I have already won a trophy this season, which is more than you will :P
WOOOOOOO ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
After the game ended 2-2 after 90 minutes, Brisbane Roar were the more composed team to win the game 5-4 in penalties, which after looking at the stats is probably a fair result.
Bojan gave the Roar an early lead after just 3 minutes when thumped in a shot from 20 yards, but Holman got the Victory back on level terms just 3 minutes later thanks to a deflection.
It was 1-1 at half time and we had to wait till the 70th minute to see another goal when Bojan scored from the spot. With just 20 minutes to go you would think that Brisbane could hold on, but 9 minutes later Kevin-Prince Boateng was played through and put the ball into the top corner, forcing the game to go to penalties.
Brisbane held their nerve and are now the Cup champions. Bojan was man of the match.

Congrats CF well deserved mate.
4.9mill in the bank now :D
Thanks reesbr. Pretty sure once it goes to penalties it is just a flip of a coin to see who wins, so either of us could have won. Great game though.
I now have 6.4 mill in the bank ;D
how much prize money did u get
2 mil in prize money :)
Then 928k for gate receipts :)
so alot more then winning the league
Yeah. That's why I wanted to win it this season
My trophy cabinet is starting to fill up nicely :)
Three trophies in there now! ;D
Put a write up in the newspaper for the cup final. Happy reading :)
Good work CF. Can you rest your team against me this week? I need a win. :P
Yeah I will be ML.
They are not in good enough condition for our match :(
Ok so if I beat you then I have an easy game against HP after. :P
Nice read CF

Will read it later CF ;).
I forgot about that, but I have a couple injuries as well. ;)
Just thought that if 1st plays 9th, 9th would win every time. :P
Oi CF I bidded on Hoyos first!!!!!!!
Can you please withdraw your bid for Hoyos CF?
Drew 2-2 with my Bogey team in Sydney. Came from 2 goals down at half time so happy yet unhappy at defence :-\.
Very close possession game and plenty of shots with 34 in all.
Lost again :( 4 league games in a row now!! >:(
Sorry reesbr I did not know there was a rule saying you couldn't bid on the same player. Benjy has down it to me before
Well I just thought that the polite thing to do if some one was bidding on a player that you don't outbid them or at least ask if they really need/want them.
Yeah sorry, I have withdrawn my bid. I just thought that you already have 37 players I didn't think you would need him...
4-2 win,, sitting nicely in 3rd just waiting for HP to slip up now 8)
I have already. The decline is showing :'(.
And uve got Roar and Fury in a few weeks ;)

Wouldn't say I'm a threat anymore zz. You can lock in my matches as 3 points for the opposition
Yea just lookin for risers.
If you like any of my players CF feel free too make an offer or something
Well I made an offer for chamberlain but you wouldn't sell him to me :(
Haha nah waiting for him to rise
With Afellay now in my team, my starting XI has an average rating of 88, plus all my players on my bench are rated over 80 ;D
Now to start getting the wins back on the board...
You win my avg XI rating is 88, but my bench has only 2 at 80+
My bench consists of an 84, 83, 83, 83, 82, 82, 80 :)
Gives me faith to make subs during matches :)
wow very nice :)
from memory, mine is 83, 80, 78, 78, 78 77, 75
Orders set for my match against Melbourne Heart tonight. Hoping to get back on the winning track with an almost full strength team. Only weakness is Obinna is only 89% fit so will only be getting 30 minutes and so I have to play a guy rated 78 instead since I realised he is my next best winger...
I really need to get a good back up winger!!
Get ready HP. Wellington are looking for 2 in a row. Probably won't happen though. :P
Good luck ML. I haven't been in the best of form but hopefully come away with the win.
Setting tactics later but hopefully can get a full strength (or close to) squad on the pitch for most of the time ;).
My squad looks kinda strong. :P
Very young though.
I also got a 14 day free trial of gold membership. Not sure why?? But now I am managing Spain :)
Haha ML. Should be a good match.
CF, they have that every now and again ;). Trying to draw people to become Gold Members.
What's your starting XI average rating ML?
Average Rating 85
Average Age 23
Average Value £6.6M
That's with 2 injuries. One to a 85 rated CB/RB and another to a 84 rated Wing/Fwd
Not bad ML, this is mine:
Average Rating: 88
Average Age: 23
Average Value: £9.4M
Yes, but I just took over this season. Just wait til my players aren't banned anymore. I already have a plan. ;)
Average Rating 85 Average Rating 86
Average Age 23 Average Age 26
Average Value £6.6M Average Value £7.3M
Looks to be a good tight game ML.
Looking at those numbers, I'll win. :P
is urs on the right HP ??
Set my orders for tonight a full strength squad with almost everyone at 100%
Yes. Mine look more promising though. :P
Yeah, mine are on the right ;).
Only thing going for you guys is age :P.
A month until a GIANT is made 8).
Peter Crouch is coming to the A-League?
I was thinking more like Xabi Alonso and co. but not ruling anybody out yet ::).
Well you did say Giant. :P
I'm looking to bring in many young good players, rather than one or two stars.
That's right you will be getting 60 odd mil when you sell busquets and ozil.
Personally I think you should give me some of the money since I told you to get those players since I thought their rating would rise.
How about I sell you a player for lots of money to make it fair? ;)
Depends on the player ;).
They are worth 30 Mil each so hoping to get between 65-70 Mil though :D.
I'll be bringing in quite alot of players :P. Or I can bring in Messi + Ronaldo ;).
Bring in Messi and Ronaldo.
Play them as forwards and you will be unstoppable!!
I'll sell you davide santon for 20 mil :P
Haha, A bit much? ;).
I'll see a player I like and I'll bid next month, whenever I get the money.
did i win :P
This is just crap!! >:( >:(
I lost again even though I won all the stats that matter. I had more possession (54-46%), more shots (21-16) and more shots on target (12-8), yet I still lose 2-1. Because of that I am now coming 9th!! >:( >:( >:(
My team played terribly against the Fury. Lost 3-2
Scott McDonald scored
Drew 0-0 with Gold Coast.
Just looked at the table and I have scored the least goals and conceded the least goals.
Beat Sydney 3-1 :D

Adelaide, Heart and Fury have caught up ::).
This is so gay! I have the strongest playing squad, as in the starting XI and bench, yet I am coming 9th!
You did rest for the Cup ;).

Yeah but even when I play my full squad they lose!
We will see what happens when I play you on Wednesday HP ;)
I'd lose :(. Been drawing alot, so others have caught up :'(.
No Ozil is hurting but keeping above 4 Mil :D.
At least you have been drawing. I have lost my last 5 league games!!! :'(

equal mine is as strong as urs ;)
but your bench is strronger
That's why I said starting XI and bench...
;D i knew saso would go up and got a nice 2 and thx to that my averge is up 10 87 and wen i get a 87+rb in a week or 2 i should be 88 8)
I had a lot of my asian players go up ;D
i noticed ;)
Forgot to change tactics :'(. Mebrahtu up 3 to 75 :D.
A 1-Nil win though helps over Brisbane 8). Torun scores to only goal :). Stats were close with GC winning possession but Roar landing more shots (24-19).
A game clear on top with Adelaide nipping on my tail and a loss could see them take first. Heart and Fury not far behind them. Quite the race this season.
grrr so disapointed i lost to wellington
Kruse up to 82 :D
Dugandzic up to 77 ;D
Yay! I won without orders. The Hernandez red card helped me out.
i bought kruse in my leeds team 1 day be4 he rised expecting he would go up :D
3-0 over victory :D slowly creeping up the ladder...
beat Heart 1-0 and i am now in debt.
wish i got on to change my tactics, so i got a 2-2 draw and Hp is slightly slipping away now...
Player Change Rating
Mark BIRIGHITTI + 3 75
Matthew LECKIE + 3 80
In-Sup SHIN + 3 75
Strange that Flores didnt go up ???
:o he stil mite ;)
Are they stilling doing A League though ?
yer i had 1 of my fury players go up 2day and yesterday
okay well he should go up...
if he dosent its a joke and id email the sm ppl lol
haha yeh i probs should haha, well im not on sm right now so he should be up next time i check
evry day i log in at 7pm its up
but its not up at 2pm or 3
yeh ill check again now :)
Can't believe I couldn't score a single goal even though I had 24 shots and 10 of them on target!
Plus Afellay is injured! :(
Well it is only for 4 days and he's half way over it now :P.
Oh I hadn't looked at that yet. That's good news :)
Looks like this season is over for me though...
I have got 13 mill!!
What should I do!??
Save for end of season? Or can buy a big name now.
Yea I'm gonna save up for a huge name
Messi? Kaka? Ronaldo? Xavi?
I will be getting alot of cash next season so might bring in Messi and use the rest for other positions.
Yeah thinking Ronaldo but I'm gonna see how much I end up with
Good luck reesbr. If we can land those names, we'll be heavy favourites.
Unless Messi/Ronaldo pulls an Ozil ::).
Haha yeah as all the gun players in this game do ;(
Not complaining about you here reesbr, but I find it really unfair that your matches get around 25,000 people turning up to them when almost all of us struggle to get over 10,000 fans turning up. Means you get way more income and so can buy better players
Why is that? :(
It's Melbourne ;). I've made do with it due to having bought a few good players in that sell for a bit :).
Cos in real life Victory get more supporters. But since it is an online game that shouldn't affect it and it should be by how you are going in the league. So last year when I was winning I should have been getting heaps of fans and now that I am losing not many should turn up.
Same with HP, he only averages about 8000 or something even though he is coming first
It's worse being Wellington. I get 5,000 people and 2,000 sheep. :P
And the sheep get in for free. :( :P
Well this is the attendance for each team at the moment:
Club - Total Attendance - Avg. Attendance
Melbourne Victory - 193,579 - 27,654
Sydney FC - 109,763 - 18,294
Adelaide United - 81,472 - 13,579
Brisbane Roar - 64,923 - 12,985
Melbourne Heart - 77,337 - 11,048
Perth Glory - 59,816 - 9,969
Newcastle Jets - 47,765 - 9,553
Wellington Phoenix - 57,201 - 8,172
North Queensland Fury - 39,131 - 7,826
Gold Coast United - 46,037 - 7,673
Doesn't seem fair that the league leader gets lowest attendance
Same for Nth Qld who are doing pretty well.
I never get good crowds ::). Not even for the rivalry game with CF/Brisbane. But the Heart/Victory game always nearly sells out :(.
Haha CF. I'm use to it though. Was the same last season if not close.
i consistely get 7.500k its a bit stupid i reckon it should b based on were u r on the ladder,who u r playin and wat ur averge rating is and ur oppentos
Hoping to stop my run of 6 league defeats in a row when I play Sydney tonight. I have won the last 5 times I have played Sydney so that is giving me some hope...
Good luck doing that CF. I can never seem to beat BP and the Blues ::).
Solid match to end up 1-1 against the Fury. Still leaves me a game clear on top but Adelaide, Heart and Fury still closing. Happy all 3 of them drew as it helps me out for now.
Lead possession 58-42 and shots 15-12 (9-7). Just couldn't convert with Fury going in front in the first half hour. Just before half time, Garcia levelled the scores
Ok I am actually getting very sick of this. Lost 3-2 to Sydney but look at the stats.
Possession was 52% to 48% in my favour. I had 26 shots to his 11. Of that 17 of my shots were on target and only 3 of his were.
And so now because of that I am coming last! >:( >:( >:(
Seriously what do I have to do in this game to get a win?
Right on HPs tail, and ive got him soon, hopefully i knock him off and steal top ;)
Should i post something like this on the SM forum hoping someone sees... ?
How come Marcos Flores of Adelaide United has not recieved a rise in ratings yet ?? Marcos Flores has easily been one of the best players in the A-League this season, some could say the best. He has been a great performer, having 23 apperences for Adelaide as an attacking midfielder. Flores is equal 13th highest goal scorer in the league and is equal 7th in assists. Flores by rights should not be rated 78, and from someone with not much of experience i think he should be atleast and 82 or an 83.
cheers for your response.
Sound good ? any ideas of things i could add??
Haha CF I see where you are coming from about the crowd attendances. Doesn't seem right
ZZ also tell em to youtube flores game on friday nite ;)
I missed the game because i was on Victor Harbour for a Training Camp :(, can u give me a link ?
Just be patient. They are still reviewing the a league

my game got 8k for the first time eva ???

Because even though we can't play. The fans truly appreciate class ;D
The Argentinian update has been kind to me :)
Sergio Araujo +2, now 77
Manuel Lanzini +3, now 78
Erik Lamela +9, now 84 ;D
Really expected Araujo and Lanzini to increase more than what they did :( but very happy with Lamela
Now waiting for the Brazil updates :)
Saviola is coming!
Pity he won't make in time for tonight's game
Burdisso not quite match fit for tonights match against NQF, so will be making his debut from the bench.
Douglas Costa also not fit since he had been injured so newly improved Lamela will be stepping in for his debut.
Apart from that everyone else is 100% fit so will be hoping to get off the bottom of the ladder tonight!

hopin u dont ;)
Haha hawka. I have decided my mission is now to destroy the hopes and dreams of all other teams that I still need to play :P
I'm slowly working my way up the ladder ::) would love a win tonight...
No you wouldn't . ;)
I will destroy u ML :)
Probably. :( :P
haha I doubt it I'm bad at setting tactics :P
I just check if my team is fatigued and that's about it. :P
haha maybe I will destroy u then :P
Dominated in shots and possession again. Still won 3-2 though :P. And Saviola is here! ;D
Braafheid sent off within 13 minutes of the 1-0 Gold Coast winb over the Jets. Busq scored the only goal with the new formation doing alright.
Won possession 55-45 and shots 23-18 (9-5 on target). Martinez was MOTM while I remain on top of the ladder.
Adelaide remains a game behind (but only 2 behind in GD). One loss could see me finish second now. 4 games to go so will be tight for the win between Adelaide and GC.
sigh every time i scored a goal CF cancled them out with a quick equaliser i cant win with 3 games left but i can try for 2nd or 3rd
Well I stopped my losing streak ;D
But only with a draw... Lost possession 47-53, but had more shots 25-17 and more on target 12-6.
At least I am off the bottom of the ladder now, and play Newcastle next in a wooden spoon battle!
Unfortunately Khedira was injured during the match against NQF and wont be playing :(
1-1 against Perth.
Would've liked a win, but it's not a loss.
lol basically what I was about to post :P
Saviola debuts tonight. He'll only be playing an hour but he'll play
Bottom of the table clash tonight between Brisbane Roar and Newcastle Jets!
Hoping to pick up the win to move further away from the wooden spoon. Think I might target Hilly's central defense since his 2 CB's only rate 70.
Why is that Hilly? You really need to buy some CB's!
coz i have no money :(
I only have 1.6 mil. :(
How much money do you have Hilly?
Hilly here is some advice that you might find helpful...
Sell Aurelio, Vela, and Santa Cruz. This should get you about 28 mil.
From that you would need to buy 2 CB's an LB and 2 strikers.
So this is what you could get:
CB's
Emanuel Pogatez - rated 86, price 3.9mil
Renato Silva - rated 86, price 3.9 mil.
Lots of CB's rated similar for less than 4 mil.
LB
Wayne Bridge - rated 88, price 4.4 mil
Strikers
Salomon Kalou - rated 90, price 7.8 mil
Peter Crouch - rated 90, price 6.1 mil (can be used as a great target man)
For those 5 you would only be paying a total of 26.1 mil leaving you with about 2 mil to spare...
Not Kalou. I want him. :P
Well buy him then!
I can't. I started after you guys and I'm waiting for the TB's to pass. Also don't have the money.
Fair enough, but you know what they say... You snooze you lose :P
Haha jokes.
I have 9 mil :)
Ur not the only people looking at getting him :P ... not sure if I will though would have to swap some players as I only have 3 or 4 mil.
not enough, like less than 1 mill.
i was looking at Kalou but way too much.
Hilly just do what I said and you will be fine
Hilly, Try bringing in some CB's for the last bit of the season on Loan. I agree with CF about stocking up too much up front though. Need to get rid of them ;).
I've only got 3.9 Mil in the bank to cover wage costs of Ozil and Busq.
Hilly I could loan you Kyle Bartley if you want. He is a CB who is rated 80, but is injured for the next 2 days...
Still think you should do what I say instead though...
yes i did do what you said CF.
Ah good. You will be seeing success in no time :)
Well maybe not against me next season ;). Unless half my signings pull an Ozil >:(.
il b havin a small pre season half of the guys onTB will fish during nxt season so im gona wait til the nxt season sell most of my players at once
I'm saving up. Got 13mill so far.
A 1-0 win over BOOMZ and his Glory :D. He dominated shots but Kewell snuck in for a goal ;).
Puts me 2 games clear with I think 2 games to go :D. Adelaide lost to Pheonix which helps me alot. Thanks ;).
That's alot reesbr :o. I'm getting about 6-7 Mil next few days from sells. Then buying 1-2 midfielders to replace the 2 of them.
I am back on the winning track with a massive 6-2 victory over the Jets!! ;D ;D ;D
At one stage I was up 6 nil before Jets got 2 consolation goals.
Possession was 58-42 in my favour and I dominated the shot count. I had 35 shots in total to his 12, whilst 22 of mine were on target to his 11. Everyone chipped in with 5 different goal scorers. They were Afellay, Gotze, Costa (2), Berbatov and Obinna. Costa and Berbatov also got ratings of 10, with Berbatov taking out MOTM.
By the way HP there are still 3 games to go, not 2, but since I still have to play Adelaide you will be fine ;)
3-2 Victory over the Fury. Saviola took just 9 minutes to find the net before Altidore and Rukastvya put me home
im 5th now after bein 2nd at 1 stage i think :(
Haha don't think you can complain hawka. I was second at one point and now I am 9th!
Vela for 10 mill :D
Should get the same for Aurelio too
goodie!
thanks for the advice and good game.
No worries Hilly. Hopefully you will get the new guys in before your match on wednesday :)
Yeah good game, you made a fight back, but my team just went crazy at the start!
probably not, need the other 2 to be sold aswel.
Well from just the money you get from Vela you will be able to get 2 solid CB's so that will help ;)
I beat Adelaide 2-1. ;D
argh I lost :(
Hilly why do you keep rejecting the offers for Vela?
You have done it twice now...
Zambrotta to come in!!! Rafael as well :P.
Followed hopefully by Ambrosini.
Which Rafael HP?
If you mean the RB from Utd he is already playing for Adelaide...
RB/LB 83 rated one. I'll check up.
You mean Fabio :P
*Facepalm. Yeah. That's what happens when you make a bid at 1 am in the morning :P.
Haha very nice :P

i'm not, i'm accepting them, it keeps coming up with there squad will be too big or mine will be too small and can't do the transfer.
buy a cheap 10k player with low wage
Ah right. It's not your fault Hilly since you have 24 people so you don't need to buy anyone. For some reason Arsenal have 48 players and you cant have more than that so they cant buy anyone. You will just have to hope that another club makes a bid for him. Cancel the deal you have with Arsenal and hope someone else bids...
maybe buy a cheapo from arsneal
The Mighty toffes captain phil neville has been bidded on
he wont play 2nite tho
Zambrotta and Fabio should both be in my team by tonight. Whether they will play or not is unsure yet ;).
not Santa or Fabio Aurellio tonight.
ok so Santa and Aurelio can't go, apparantly my squad will go down to 21 or lower ::)
great -.-
hilly buy some cheap 10k players ;)
yeah but the thing is i have 24 players. and i'm already in debt.
maybe cos ur in debt ???
ok so how does every team have 40 players?
im guessing u mean non a-league clubs
They get players on loaned bak after 1 season and we sell players to them or say give them 2 players for 1
3-2 Loss against Adelaide puts them a game within me :(.
Looks to be going down to the final round for the League winner.
How much are you in debt Hilly?
Offered you 2 players for 1 to help you out :).
-$64k
players won't do me anything, it would make things worse because of wage.
Lost 3-1 to Perth :(
On the bright side Rodrigues Lucas had his rating go up 8 so no he is rated 83 :)
But you get an extra player ;). Then I can buy another one off you to get you out of debt ;).
HP will become league champion tonight after I beat Adelaide :P
Haha, lets hope for that!!! If I win or draw then, have the title locked up 8).
But against Victory so anything can happen....
2 all draw :)
Well done HP
I inflicted more misery on Hilly today. 26 shots, 16 on target, 4-0 victory. Altidore with a pair and Saviola and Nicky Carle finding the net as well. Interesting final game Wednesday. First place is up for grabs and so is third. Hawka is playing for 3rd as well as HP's blocker, HP has CC and the Heart after missing out against the Victory while I'm praying for a draw between Hawka and uzz and to beat the Phoenix
grr everytime i try and get neville i get in debt
Quote from: reesbr on February 06, 2011, 10:27:12 AM
2 all draw :)
Well done HP
Good game. Was saved late when my weaker striking force came into place :P.
1 Point for third place :'(. Upside is, will get a near full strength side on the pitch (Braafhied is back). Goal Difference is the same so I have to win to secure the Championship!!!
Hoping to finish this awful season of mine with a victory over Melbourne Victory. Although no matter what happens I am going to finish 9th this season :( and awful effort of defending the league championship...
Pretty sure I have the strongest squad, with an average rating of 88 and 5 players 90 or above and yet I will finish second last :'(
My only consolation is winning the cup ;D
But a good consolation prize ::).
Up against the Heart and playing a full strength side besides Ozil who is finally over his injury but is NMF ::). Just 2 more weeks until the cash 8).
So is Ozil going to play any of the match?
While he's NMF don't think he could :'(. What a buy he's been ::). At least I get the cash boost for his failure to play many games -__-.
Would of dominated for alot longer if he had stayed fit (and Braafhied stayed un-suspended for more than 1-2 games ::)).
You could set up a sub that he comes on for the last 15 minutes if you are up by 2 goals or something like that so you don't risk losing that match?
Let him say his goodbye to the fans?
Don't think they can play on NMF. He's on 44% as well ::). I'll give him a farewell via Friendlies in the off season.
Shame he couldn't help out more as he would of killed it alongside Busq.
I'm going to murder newcastle tonight :P
Yeah you can play them when they are NMF just not advised :P
Boomz set your tactics to attack in middle and you will destroy him ;)
Can't be bothered now :P. Need to finish off dinner and head of to sleep soon.
Yay won my final match 2-1 ;D But still finished 9th.
Congrats to HP who won the league this time, lets see if you can do a better job defending it than I did ;)
Perth were the biggest risers on the final day, moving from 8th to 5th to finish in the top half
2-0 win over the Phoenix. Despite hawka winning that was good enough to push me past him to 3rd on Goal Difference
finshed forth which isnt bad cos on ratings im like 3 or 4th :)
THAT IS HOW YOU WIN A TITLE!!!! ;D.
Smashed Heart 5-2 with Ambrosini and Martinez getting 10 ratings. 54-46 possession while 20 shots to 5 8). Back to my favored 5-3-2 formation which I haven't been able to play for a while :'(.
Thanks CF :).
Phil neville has arrived :) and inters 88 rated goalie will arive 2moro makin my team a very consistent unit
88
88-85*-89-88
87-92-88
88-88-83*
*= (gone as soon as his tb is lifted)
Martinez has been a star this season so strongly considering keeping him alongside Kewell.
Ozil and Busq should bring in enough cash for a nice 5-8 90+ rated players. Xabi Alonso top of the hit list ;). Maybe Kaka or Messi could come over as well in place....
messi will make us suffer badly will al be his bi**h
:(
My team currently looks like this:
86
84 - 90 - 86
91 - 90
90 87
88 - 87
93
I've got 2 93's and a 92 in my team :D. All midfielders though :P.
I just need enough in the bank to cover his MASSIVE wage though :o. 7-10 Mil in the bank should be enough shouldn't it?

u gona bring in a rb over the off season ?
HP regarding wage I have generally kept about 7mil in the bank the whole way through the season. At the moment have just under 10 so you should be fine.
I actually play with 3 CB's hawka so will be looking at bringing in a better one soon. Just need to sell off some people first...
I need to stock up defence as I like playing 5 down back :). Worked well early in the season and showed last game ;). I kept 5 Mil this time and had about 3.7 Mil before I Sold/Bought players. But with Messi coming in, being in the top 2 players in the game, the wage would just be :o :o :o compared to anybody else. Will likely go with 7 like you said :).
I hate playing 5 down the back. It just seems so defensive in my mind, yet you manage to pull it off well!
Yeah Messi has a wage over 100k by himself!!
The other good thing about keeping a fair bit of money is you could then bring in a player on short notice if required :)
Yep. Ozil and Busq would of pulled the 5 down back well with 3 midfielders (with one a DM and these 2 the front guys). Only if he had stayed fit for longer :'(. At least Busq, Martinez and Kewell carried the load well :). But I play on aggressive or Attacking so it helps when we counter attack or play to our strengths.
Coming into the thrid season, all season have been fairly close for top spot and the middle tables. Can't wait to see what happens when we all can get GUN teams 8).
Yeah one problem I have noticed though is all the teams where we buy our players such as United, Arsenal etc because they are cheaper have had all their loan players recalled so they all have squads with over 40 players in them. Which I think stops them from buying the players back so we can't get the money and continue to improve...
I didn't know about that ???. I thought the loans only applied for active teams in the league?
Just means we have to hope other teams bid ;D. It's happened before but takes a little longer if they can't go to their original team.
Yeah check the arsenal and united squads!!
Hilly is trying to sell Vela but only arsenal are bidding for him so he accepts, but then says the transfer gets canceled
Maybe it's his own team ;). Loan players don't count as his players so he may fall under the limit ;). Think that was what I saw when I checked his team a while back.... I was offering to give him 2 players in exchange for 1 to help out since he was already in debt. Not sure though as haven't checked it for a while (his team).
I'm off to finish dinner but will be back on later CF. Cya for now.
Ah yes you are probably right then I had never thought of that since you need at least 21 players and he had 24. But 3 of them are on loan so if he sold someone he would go below that! You sir are a genius and I look forward to playing you in the charity shield match at the start of the next season :)
I've still got to wait a bit before improving my team.
Bans end late Feb I think.

Haha, thanks ;D. Should make for a cracking match since we are both the Champions of the League first 2 seasons ;).
Mine end mid Feb (17th for the Big ones), so should see dividends come end of Feb at least.
Yeah should be a good match :)
I don't get to sell my first big name (Khedira) till the 20th of Feb. Hoping for 20 mil for him, but prob wont get that much! Berba then on the 6th of March.
Unlike you I kept buying throughout the season so I have a constant stream of people coming in and out. Could be why I didn't perform all that well this season...
I bought some during the season also but most of the money went out for the Big 2 ;). Both should sell for 30 Mil each at a minimum (hoping 65-70 Mil combined). Remind me I need to pay that favor back to you ;).
Maybe the Cup run hurt your league chances early? Then they never could recover :P. Next season will be going for League once again rather than Cup.
Haha it was very nice of me to suggest those 2 players to you wasn't it ;)
Yeah the cup run ruined me I think cos before that started I was coming second (I think) behind you then decided to focus on the cup since you got more money.
I think it is better focusing on the league since it is more prestigious. And who knows, most of my b teamers are in the 80's so could still go far in the cup :)
I'm hoping to become similar to you with 80+ rated bench. They can fend for me in the Cup. Big names = League DOMINATION :P.
In my senior squad of 22 players the only player with a rating below 80 is my reserve keeper and he is 70. And only 2 players with a rating of 80.
Pretty solid squad I think :)
Nice CF ;). Guess I went Quality over Quantity :P.
I'm off now. Night CF.
Night HP
not this league but i wony my first trophy with leeds just finshed the first season in 1st spot in div 2
I brought in alot of players over the time i started with an averge in the low 80s now im low 90s ;D
Nice job hawka :)
The clear out has begun at Brisbane Roar after a terrible season. Already gone are Son, Obinna, Kiko, Sereno and Castillo, with Lindegaard, Bojan and Khedira all expected to leave within the next week.
Got some great replacements for them lined up and so far have 35 mil to pay for it, but that should double once I sell Khedira, Bojan and Lindegaard :)
Hopefully next season will be much better for me!
I'm doing the same ;)
Have to wait at least another week for me to do that. :(
My first new player will arrive tomorrow. It is Laurent Koscielny.
My plan is 2 have no player in the first XI with a rating less than 88. Hopefully I can manage that :)
I'm so annoyed I can't bid on any of the players I want at the moment because it says I can't make more than 3 transfers with a club per season so have to wait till the next one starts. I think that is tomorrow though so wont be long now till some big names arrive :)
I have a new GK coming 8)
So will I once I get a bid on my current keeper. I also have Cassano coming :)
What is your keeper rated?
I'm bringing in Buffon :P rated 94... have had to give up a bit for him but I can afford his wage as I have a ton of cash & can sell him end of next season ;)
Wow going all out for a good keeper there!!
I guess you will need him once my 3 man forward line is complete :P
It will be Cassano, Berba and a mystery player :P
Although Berba will be sold mid March so will bring in another player then...
He's not the only player either :P My forward line won't be far off that ;)
maybe my tactics in leaving my team til a full clen out next EOS cos of i have lots with Tb in mid dseason will backfire
I wanted Buffon :'(. Guess I'll have to settle with Pepe or Hart now......
Now trying to work in getting 90+ rated starters with half decent back up 8).
Might not be able to afford Messi but a few Bigger names will be brought in 8).
I have noticed HP that you are interested in some of the same forwards as me.
I will be bidding on one of them on monday when the new season starts so I hope you don't bid before then :P
I've just gone through many 90+ rated players who are now on my shortlist. Not sure who it is though.....
P.S If my players sell for at least their valuation now, I'd have 95.5 Mil to spend :D. But they will likely sell for more 8).
Currently have 45 mil, but still got some big names to come so should have around 85-90 mil to spend :)
Kalou is the only one in common we have interested in ;). This is unless you don't bother with a shortlist :P.
Right now, Villa or Ibrahimovic will likely come. Or a combination of less forwards....
PM me who you are going after so I can plan around it, or let you know if I am seriously going after him.

I wanted Buffon :'(. Guess I'll have to settle with Pepe or Hart now......
Now trying to work in getting 90+ rated starters with half decent back up 8).
Might not be able to afford Messi but a few Bigger names will be brought in 8).
Sorry HP :P well I'm not really ;D
You shall be crushed by the likes of my SUPER team 8).
Yeah it's not Kalou. I barely bother with a shortlist unless it is for youngsters who I am thinking of going for when the league updates come around. I'll pm you who it is ;)
I think I was gonna go for Kalou.
Still have to wait another week. :'(
I shortlisted him but doubtful I'll go for him this time around.
Others are way ahead of him 8).
I wish I could get better players right now.
Next week I will though. ;)
ill be getting in a knew winger and a new GK soon ;)
Buffon has arrived 8) Have mroe money coming in too ;D but am going to most likely have a weak team for the first match...
85 Mil in the Bank :D.
Although can't sell Kucz to Man U ::).

buy a man u player for 10k
Reached the limit for buyings this season from them and Barca :'(.
Just wait till monday then HP, that is when the new season starts :D
Ibra will come in then 8).
Xabi, Samuels, Reina and a few others on their way :D.
I have a few who will be coming in then too :)
Should be an interesting season 3!!!
Who's going for League and who's going for Cup?
I'll leave that for u to figure out :P
I think I'm going to keep quiet in the transfer market for the most part. I may upgrade Reyes but that's about it.
Everybody goes for Cup :P. I go for League 8).
Good luck with that BP!
i might keep it a secret on what im going for ;)

same here im only bringing in a bit of depth
Have about 30 Mil left. Either spend it on Xavi or Ibra or go after smaller units who I like more (well not compared to Xavi).....
Hilly, how much do you need to get out of debt? 250k enough?
If you accept and are out of debt, buy quite a few 10k players (maybe 5) so you can sell off your bigger names to bring in a better all round squad.
i'm not in debt any more, i have bidded for 3 30k players to sell of my 3 bigger names to get about 30 mill.
Then ignore my offer if you want :P.
haven't even seen it yet, i' guessing it will be for Roque?
Do you want it for Roque? :P. Nah, for Borini ;).
Might take a look for Roque but will have to involve a player.....
One more week til I can make transfers. Gotta work out a strategy soon though.
Hilly, Kuszczak (rated 88 Keeper) for Roque (rated 89) after Hart arrives?
i think i have a decent keeper.
but i think i need more the Cash side of things for Roque to fill in those holes.
That's fine, I'll just bring him in next time :).
and also HP, it always has to be Kaka.
i'm getting Schweinsteiger anyways.
Indeed it does 8).
Xabi Alonso (94), Brighi (90), Samuel (93) and Altintop (90) have joined the Gold Coast 8). Midfield and Defence are strengthened here.
The people not doing anything and just sticking with the same players are going to be left very far behind...
Who are they?
Well BP & Hawka said they were...
im n ot any more getting more money then i expected for o shea and ferria and van bommel will also leave so ditching that method
lol I shouldn't have said anything :x
Happy I got Borini :D.
SOme young players come in for Youth Squad and now to sign a few Strikers 8).
My side is going to be all over 90 in a week or so but need some alright subs coz otherwise im gonna be stuck with all 70 rated guys on the bench :P
I didn't say I wasn't making any moves, just not many. Reyes and maybe Storari
brought Fabianski in, will have a weakish keeper but gives me a few extra mil to spend round the ground ;)
Gonna trade a few players out, thinking of maybe Zanetti, going out not sure though...
Wilshere and Carroll to come in!! Brining in Yepes for a CB position 8).
Throw in Ibra to join Kewell (and potentially Carroll) up forward 8).
Hopefully starting lineup will be:
90
90, 93, 88, 90
90, 91, 94, 92
96, 88
Means bench will include: 87, 87, 86, 84, 83, 83 which are mainly defenders/midfielders.
Have to revert from a 5-3-2 team as now my midfielders are stocked!!!
i was gonna go Carroll.. :( ahwell ill get better players ;)
Wilshere coming back to Queensland huh HP? He must have loved his time in Brisbane so much he wanted to come back! ;)
My line up should look like this:
88
88, 90, 91
90, 91, 90, 92
91
96, 93
Bench will also be full of guys above 80 odd. Hopefully will have better luck this season ;)

That's the rumour going around ;). But he wants to play for the BEST Queensland team :P. That and he is set to go up come next rating changes 8).
Sorry ZZ :(. I can drop him off my list if you want him badly?
Yeah obviously he will go up, but it will be a while before they do England again right?
its alright i might bring in the other new Liverpool star ;) though i reckon Carroll might get a rise..
Haha for some reason Suarez plays for United in the game not Liverpool...
I was going to bring him in when I sold Berba but will look at other options
yeh i saw that strange hahah
Quote from: CrowsFan on February 21, 2011, 06:32:14 PM

Alright then :). Yeah, he should go up a bit so was a good investment for 5 Mil.
so i ditched the other method and these are my changes so far
out ferria,oshea,van bommel,ognoveski(wen his tb lifts later2day)
In (yet to be accepted
Adibal,Tymochuck,Distin,middie yet to be decided
Oh how I want my bids to be accepted already so I can put them in a line up haha!
HP will you be playing a full strength team for our Charity Shield match on Thursday night or going with the B Squad?
waiting for another offer for Roque.
i have bidded for Chamakh, Onuoha and Alex.

I'll have to see who's fit. Hoping for A-Grade lineup though 8). Lets make it a cracker!! Gonna play Villa? I'll play Ibra to even it out? ;D.
I was actually going to play my B squad since I want my a team to be fully fit for the opening day of the league season. Playing your best players just means you go in with a weakened lineup straight away in the league since they only get 2 days to recover, which isn't enough :(
Then we'll see when the time comes ;).
Well my team has all arrived, but some are only 70-80% fit so wont be playing against you HP.
They will however be playing in the friendly tonight against Adelaide to see how they play as a team :)
Ibras has the worst fatigue (72%) so won't be able to play the Shield :(.
On a side note, he's worth 5 Mil more than Villa as my forward stocks are a weak point :P.
Not for long!!! Carroll and Sturridge coming in as well as Coutinho (For Winging purposes) 8).
Haha that's not fair about being worth more, especially since bringing in Villa decreased Berba's value by about 3 mil!! :(
Since you have good backup, they decrease in value ;).
Since I literally had no forwards besides Kewell, Ibra was bumped up to maximum valuation by my chairman :D. Forwards are a weak point but with Ibra, should carry the load well :D. Next time, should have enough for Messi 8).
Not if I get Messi first :P
:'(. I'll bring in the lesser Iniesta and Xavi then :P. Or Ronaldo if I have to *Shudders.
I'm going to bring them all in :P
I will just trade my Barca team in the other league with this Roar team haha
alright, i have decided to keep Roque, and bring in a few CB's. which i have done in Alex and Onuoha, but now i have David Luiz coming in and surely his price will rise by the end of the season.
I actually reckon Luiz will remain with a rating of 90 at their next review of the PL
I would prefer to see Ivanovic rise :D.
Nice backs forming Hilly. Roque :'(.
place a bid on a fwd/winger, also should be bringing in suarez, once jovetic gets a bid and is transferred out :)
HP. if you want Roque, im gonna need some money.
Haha, nah. I'll wait until you sell him ;). Can pick him up for cheaper for a longer wait :P.
Don't need him right now since Carroll and Sturridge (coming) are there.
Well HP I have set my tactics for tonights match.
Looking forward to the gate takings since it is being played at Wembley :)
I remember I got about a million in gate takings when I made the cup final
Yeah this morning I got £928,919 for gate takings, plus £500,000 for winning the Charity Shield for the second year in a row ;D
Played my full B squad as I was resting my best team for the league. Playing in a 4-5-1 formation with the tactics set on defensive and counter attack I managed to pull off a 2 nil victory over the Coast!
I held possession 55-45, but the other stats were dominated by GC. He had 20 shots to my 8, 10 of his were on target and only 7 of mine were.
I also picked up a red card in the 61st minute, but was able to hold on and pick up the first trophy of the season :)
Happy with the extra 1 Mil :). A loss just means I need to work on tactics better....
Set my squad for tonights match, going in with a weak squad with Cavani and Musaccio not ready to play also with Jovetic just leaving.
Let Season 4 commence :D.
Good Luck fella's and lets see if the title will leave Queensland :P.
It's actually season 3 HP :P hopefully the title doesn't leave QLD but moves north slightly ;)
going in with a full strength team against Sydney. Hopefully my strikeforce of berba villa
and cassano can score some goals :)
I'm half sleepy so forgetting alot of things now......
Berba and Villa are quite the combo :o.
It's going to be heading to perth ;)
Or across the ditch. ;)
just a tad south of Queensland is were it is heading!
Not after today's performance Hilly :P
I won 5-2 against Sydney. Cassano picking up a hattrick, Villa with one and Berba with the other. A great strike force if you ask me ;D
Possession was held 65-35% in my favour with me having 32 shots to his 11, 13 of which were on target to Sydney's 8.
A pretty good start to the season I must say :)
great game between me and hilly
i won 4-3 ;D with di natale getting 2 on debut and bellamy getting 2 as well
My team's still in too much of a state of flux. Davids retiring has really flowered me over.
Ouch BP!! That's happened to me twice with De La Red :'(. He was one of my Favs so don't mind :D.
Lost to BOOMZ and his Glory but need to find the right tactics.....
After last night's result I think I will be in for a good year (well better than last years anyway) :)
Tactics worked well for me, although disappointed I conceded 2, but if I score 5 I don't care!
i hope i can do better than last year, brought in 3 CB's :D
so i have a decent line up and not all NMF!
It will be heading up to the most Northern team in the league ;)
Happy with a 2-1 win to get things started :D need a better start so I'm not trying to catch up like last season...
2-2 is alright considering i went in with an extremely weaker side
After a bit of chopping. It's moving on time. Goodbye Reyes. Hello Rafael Van Der Vaart
Starting to be able to transfer list players now. :)
VDV is a nice pick up BP. I'm glad you didn't have him when we played!

Hadn't sold Reyes yet >:( Bid Only came in after the match
Forlan is here ;) now to bring in Suarez when his ban is lifted :)
Finally been able to make some transfers, so the B team is mostly out for tonight's game.
5-2 against Gold Coast. hmmmm
Another 5-2 victory for the Roar ;D This time against Adelaide United.
With the scores tied at 2 all and both of us playing with 3 defenders it certainly helped me when one of his got sent off with 29 minutes to go! Villa got another 2 goals whilst Cassano, Berba and Afellay all got 1 each.
I won in all the stat departments holding 52% possession, having 31 shots to their 24 with 11 shots on target to their 9.
Now to bring on Wellington :)
Also Hilly I would say you were unlucky with your loss considering you had more shots than them and more shots on target
yeah i know.
Wouldn't let me on so couldn't set my team... dominated but 2-2 draw in the end ad a red card & an injury :(
Dissapointed with my loss to Fury, only plus is that Taylor is not a starter so his red card shouldnt affect me too much

Waiting for my transfers to come through. Not big names, but better players for cheaper than I bought my original players for.

Sweet 8).
Clash of the Titans!!!
Haha yeah!
Just found out I have to play in the qualifier for the cup! How stupid is that since I won it last season!
happy with a draw keeps me in 3rd on GD
not tryin for the cup this yr hopefully i defeat a few teams aiming for it
Just brought in 3 new guys and will be bringing in a lot more.
Sweet ML 8). Should make for a good season then.
Hopefully it will be very close. Just buying some 10k players to make sure I have enough players.
That was a fast reply :o.
Yeah, I stocked up with some 10k players as well before.
I was changing between FTP and FF and it said there was a new reply, so I replied back. :P
Looking at getting Balotelli and Jerome Boateng.
Haha. They both look good for now ;).
I might jump on Gotze next time around. Slipped my radar for Caroll this time :(.
I picked up Granero and two very cheap guys that are 87 and 86. :)
Saw that you got Granero ;). I shortlisted him but never could fit him in with the cash :P.
Looks like a good squad ML and could be pushing for top 3 ;). First of course being me :P.
I'd be happy with top 5, but these early losses that I'm going to get because of the squad changes won't help.
My team is still young as well. :)
My team is old!! About 31 years the average age of my starting squad!!!
I think mine's 23. :P

Also I will be first...
Mine's 25 :P Although that'll rise when VDV plays
Quote from: CrowsFan on March 05, 2011, 01:25:40 PM
Also I will be first...
Keep believing that :P. I'll injure 1/2 of your forwards and we'll see where we stand :P.
Haha well that's a bit rude :P
Cassano is already injured :(
Guys, calm down. I think I have stitched up first place already. ;)
Haha bit of an odd thing to think ML considering you are already 4 points off the top after just 2 games, and by tomorrow you will be 7 points adrift once I beat you :P
(you are wellington right?)
Maybe. :P
Still looking to bring in players, but no teams are bidding on my guys. :(
Just did a check of what everyone's wages are at the moment and this is what I found.
Gold Coast - £794,120 (avg per player - £24,816)
Brisbane - £714,560 (avg per player - £25,520)
NQF - £576,625 (avg per player - £22,177)
Perth - £537,020 (avg per player - £21,480)
Adelaide - £513,265 (avg per player - £16,039)
Sydney - £396,825 (avg per player - £14,172)
Victory - £361,760 (avg per player - £11,305)
Newcastle - £335,050 (avg per player - £14,567)
Wellington - £319,715 (avg per player - £13,900)
Heart - £314,465 (avg per player - £14,974)
So Gold Coast have the biggest wage bill out of everyone spending 80 grand more than me and then there is a massive jump to the third highest. Whilst Heart pay the lowest wage bill less than half that of mine of HP's!
But if you look at it as the avg wage then I am spending the most paying 25k to each of my players, whereas Victory pay the least at just 11k per player.
Thought that was quite interesting ;)
That is very interesting. :)
Mine will definitely change after all the transfers I'm hoping to make.
Quote from: CrowsFan on March 05, 2011, 04:30:49 PM
Haha well that's a bit rude :P
Cassano is already injured :(
Well it was Ronaldo in Season 1, Ozil in season 2, Villa/Berba Season 3? :P.
Nice stats CF. But I do have Ibra, Xabi and Samuels there not to mention a couple others over 90 ratings. The 10k players lower the wage :P.
Season one was also Diarra ;)
Yeah I have a couple of 10k players who I was hoping would go up in the Belgian update but they don't seem to have done :(
I have to play qualifiers too. Time for another installment of "Adventures of the Sydney FC B-Team" :P
I think the wage thing is strange seeing as my average age is 26 and my average rating is 89 though i have Zanetti and Scholes who are 36 and 37
So why does that make it strange?
Age doesn't have any effect on wage
well i thought i have one of the stronger rated teams in the comp
Well you only have 4 players 90 or above so it isn't all that strong to be honest. Getting there though ;)
yeh guess so haha, most my guys are transfer banned still, and most my guys are risers ;)
Actually waiting for Vossen to be bidded on so i can get him out and bring suarez in
Wow CC has retired from Melbourne Heart. Haven't seen him on here in ages so I guess that's fair enough. Guess who was offered the job as new coach at the Heart? That's right me! Obviously they wanted the best coach since I have won 4 trophies in 2 seasons, but why would I want to leave the almighty Roar for the colder climate of Melbourne? :P
Should we post in the other league thread and see if any of those guys want to join the Aus league?
PM him on FTP maybe ?
if not yeh
the bundeslaiga and epl updates so far have been kind with out any big
kittel up by 2
dombrowka up by 2
beckford up by 2(1 im happiesnt bout :) )
PM reesbr as CC is his friend. Apparently he hasn't gone on much FTP anymore either.
Remember before that he said that Heart was a team he actually wanted to remain in control but he hasn't been on for a while.
Bad luck CF. Looks like Wellington are making a surge for top spot with a 2-1 win. :P :)
Haha it's kinda bullshower considering I had 29 shots in total to your 10 yet your score twice and me only once.
You also injured Burdisso for 10 weeks!! I am not happy about that at all >:(
Nice ML!!!
I lost every stat against Adelaide yet came away with the 2-0 win 8).
3 teams on 1 point as well :o.

A win's a win. I'll take it. :)
My team is starting to crumble now with Cassano and Burdisso both injured :'(
Luckily I will get Cassano back soon and I can sell Burdisso on the 4th of April over a month before he will be healed.
Lost.. :( not a good season so far for the underachieving Adelaide United, Rafael out fo 8 weeks also :'( :'(
Well zz at least you can sell Rafael off in 2 weeks once his rating has gone up and get lots of cash for him :)
yeh guess so, i was thinking of maybe keeping him though cos ill be paying him a wage of an 87 player, and he is only gonna improve with neville gone
AHHH! The league is disabled. :(

Sorry about that ZZ but trying new tactics out.
its alright, just got no decent defence to cover with taylor gone and he was only rated 80 :-\ but got a CB that should rise in the italian rating changes
I think I could be able to loan you one for a little while? But I'll have to check tommorrow.
Anybody want to loan me a CB rated 88 or above for my match on Wednesday?
ML I'm looking at you since you injured Burdisso :P
If I had one available, maybe.
Look at my team, it's decent, but not that good.
I could loan you an 80 CB until Burdisso's back?
Nah it's alright mate I have 3 defenders who rate 82-83 who I will use as cover.
I get to sell Burdisso at the start of April anyway so I really only lose him for 4 weeks instead of 10!
Nice injury he copped though. ;)
Yeah. A torn hamstring putting him out for 10 weeks and so in effect 20 matches seems a little extreme to me!!
Hey ML are you playing your full strength team tonight in the cup against me or your b teamers?
Thanks for reminding me CF. ;)
I'm not sure. Probably spuds. :P
EDIT:
I'm playing most of my full strength squad.
Yeah that's what I'm doing too.
Playing HP on wednesday so want my stars to be fit for that.
Then again my spuds beat HP's stars in the charity shield so maybe I should do it the other way ;)
Beat Wellington 3-2 in the cup using my b team.
Perhaps my b teamers are more stud than spud!
Also sorry for injuring your striker ML but let's just say we are even now ;)
I give up...
I'm trying to sell him, so not too bad. ;)
Big game tonight!! Brisbane Roar v Gold Coast United.
The league winner of season 1 v the winner of season 2. Who will come out on top in this battle? The Roar team will be missing 2 first teamers in Burdisso and Cassano, which may put them at a disadvantage, whereas the Gold Coast team has got a full bill of health with everyone at 100% fitness.
Going to be an exciting match in my eyes, but I think that Brisbane will be too strong and pick up the victory :D
going in with a 78 rated player playing as Rafael is injured and ive got no defensive cover so had to swap my team around a bit, still looking for a win though
Great news for me. Koscielny has just increased his rating to 89 ;D
Perfect timing ahead of the match
just brought in Onuoha and he jumped, same with Nolan.
giggs went down by1 :(
Rafael went up by 2 :) Too bad he is injured >:( not sure if i wanna transfer him out though cos i know he will only improve :-\
He is 89 now yeah?
I don't reckon he will go up for a while now so you could easily transfer him out then bring him back in for cheaper before he goes up again ;)
yeh
and true im already looking at options for replacements :P thinking bout Bale as a LB, but not sure, as he might get his postioned changed ???
Tottenham have already had their ratings done so Bale wont get changed ;)
okay well Bale might join the A-League soon fellas ;)

Haha, you wish :P. Should be a good game and good luck 8). Just tell your forwards to watch their back ;).
Wilshere up by 2 ;D. Now worth more than 12 Mil :D.
My team is starting to take shape.
Just have to wait for bids to come in and for bids to be completed.
Koscielny going up by 1 is now worth 11 mil :) spent less than 5 to get him!
Hopefully Muniain will rise by 2 up to 88 when they do the Spanish ratings. He is a jet and only 18 ;D
Suarez on his way and will be ready for the cup game :)) but Scholes now injured, but for only 5 days >:(
Had a loss but my formation screwed up >:(
1 all draw with Gold Coast. Berba scoring in the 87th minute. Probably a fair result
Managed to sneak away with a 3-2 win over heart... Injury & Suspension hurting atm.
nice 2-1 win 2nd on the ladder but only in goal dif
Takin on the roar in the nxt league game then 2 days later in the cup

Saw you took a strategy out of my playbook and didn't go that well! We both got 1 red card each but you also got 2 yellows ;D.
Look forward to the rematch.
Haha yes I don't normally play aggressive, but thought if you were going to try and injure my stars I would get payback :P
Muniain the super sub coming on for the last 15 and picking up the assist :D
You would have had more shots since I only play 3 at the back so there was plenty of space for your front 4 whereas you play 4 at the back and I only have 3 up forward.
Now tell me which of these is more of a sneaky goal?
QuoteThe keeper parries a powerful shot but Xabi ALONSO follows up on the rebound!
or
QuoteDimitar BERBATOV ran onto a through ball and thumped it into the top corner!
You got lucky that my keeper spilled a shot, whereas mine was beautiful :P
Plus my red card was cos Afellay touched the ball before you could take a free kick. What nonsense! Will be selling him in the next 2 weeks and bringing in a real star of the game! ;D
Well I meant snuck in near the end of the match ;). Just shows the nice poacher I have in Xabi :P.
I wasn't trying to injure your players! It's just my team seems to play well on Aggressive. They conceed but usually score more :D.
Player Change NewRating
Federico RODRIGUEZ +5 80
Pablo CEPELLINI +3 78
Siniša ANDJELKOVIC +7 83
Cesc Fabregas is coming to Victory!!
Wow big signing there!! Better hope he doesn't get injured like all the 90+ rated players seem to do...
lol too true CF... always happens :-\
That's AWESOME reesbr ;D. Should put you into Title contention in any league!
All game worlds are disabled on both my accounts ???
Don't worry they will be back up later zz
Cavani - 90--->91 :))
Merkel - 75--->80 :)
Looks like Gold Coast haven't done too well with the Italian rating changes.
Brighi down 1 to 89
Zambrotta down 1 to 89
Ambrosini down 1 to 91.
Actually looking through the list zz you are the only team that have gotten players to rise. Perth, NQF and Heart all had people drop...
yeh but all the guys that rised for me were quite young and arent gonna be first team players though
Well I assume Cavani is a first team player
yeh you assumed correctly :P
my leeds team suffred in the italian changes
btw guys i have leeds who r currently 4th after 3 games in season 2 they are in div 1..i have been offerd man united..wat do uthink i should do stay or go to manu
Its all up to you, more chance of a better team at ManU though.
I took over united once. But got bored and quit the game world
id rather stay with leeds :)
well do that then :P

Indeed. Don't much care for Brighi but he was cheap. Zambrotta has RB/LB so don't mind. Ambrosini was a GUN for me late last season so I'll let that one slide :P.
I'd say turn them down hawka! Nice job getting Leeds that high! I've managed over 100 games with Chievo who now have Villa and Lahm (and a few others over 91+) and been offered the lot on several occasions (Inter, Milan, etc) but turned them down :). I've won 2 trophies and finished top 5 past 2-3 seasons and won the Cup once 8).
looking at selling off a few of my youth riser once their TB is lifted will make a nice profit from it 8)
yeh ive got a tough job of getting my River Plate side, 8th season promoted into div 1, this is my first full season in charge got an avg starting 11 rating of 90 but ive got loads of youth waiting round.
Ibra leads from the front with his double letting Gold Coast walk away 3-nil victors over Wellington.
Sitting third on GD so looks a tight race early for top half.
Comfortable 4-1 victory for me in a derby against North Queensland Fury.
Berba with 2, Villa with 1 and Costa with 1, all scored in the first 60 minutes, with NQF getting a consolation goal after that.
Berba is now the leading goal scorer in the league with 5, followed by Villa and Cassano who both have 4. Really liking the look of my forward line this year ;D
Wow just noticed that Victory haven't conceded a goal yet in their 5 matches!!
1-1 draw with Heart with my B side out on the park, also take note that Suarez will be make his debut in red, in tomorrows cup match, but for a different red team ;)
So I'm thinking someone should be invited in to the league to take over at Heart so that all 10 teams are controlled by people on here. It doesn't seem that CC is coming back...
Should we ask the others in the other league if any of them want to join?
yes we should :)
Alright I'll post a message in that thread to see if anyone wants to join in.
Also just set my tactics for the cup tonight, playing a full B team, but I think it is a pretty strong B team with the average rating of 83. Hopefully can pick up a second consecutive victory against NQF who I think will also be playing their B squad
Planning on bringing in a big name to replace Scholes ;)
Planning on bringing in a big name to replace Afellay when I sell him.
Hopefully not the same player ;)
PM me who it is since you will get to make a bid before me...
Been planning on getting this guy for a while so will be very disappointed if I don't get him :(
pretty much just a younger player ;) will do though
playin my b squad plus 2 regular players (including gk)
i rate 81
I'd like all the teams to be full in this league and the other :D. This one seems more realistic :P.
B squad tonight but I have no clue who's playing as I'm yet to set my tactics.

The other one wont get full until shaggy gets his computer fixed :( cause i cant even get my sside back :'(
The Brisbane Roar B Squad secured passage in to the semi final of the Australian Cup after defeating North Queensland Fury 3-2 in what was a close game. Things looked bad early for the Roar as Gomez put the Fury up 1 nil after just 7 minutes. But 2 goals either side of the half time break thanks to Tshimanga and Costa gave the Roar the lead. Dudu extended the lead for the Roar in the 84th minute and it looked like they would cruise to victory, but that was not the case as Redmond got a goal back with 3 minutes to go which made the end of the game quite nervy to watch.
Stats from the game were pretty even with the main stat (shots on target) being won by the Fury 16 to 15. A good game hawka, which could have gone either way. I now face Adelaide United in the semi final.
On another note I have just been offered 15.6 mil for Berba, but can't find a suitable replacement for him so may have to say no the deal...
Won 1-0 to the victory, considering my scorer was Joe Costa who came on cos of Holtby getting sold, and played on the even though he is a 70 rated AM haha
Lost 3-2 to BOOMZ and Glory but went in with a B side bar Xabi and Ambrosini.
Possession was close (53-47 in his favor) and Shots galore! My 33 shots to his 28 with 18 and 17 shots on target respectively!
Just like last season, now I will focus purely on the League 8).
just placed bids on a player btw guys ;)
I'm focusing purely on the league too HP. Just somehow made it into the semi's. Would be nice making it to the final too with the b squad cos then I would get a nice cash bonus :)
ok ill do it.. ill coach heart
ill have to resign from everton first though. send me the thingo
bs ur lucky u get cahill ;)

Just did a sneaky search of the transfer market to see who it was :P
Nice player there zz, you will have quite the formidable midfield once you bring in the other guy...
yehh hes worth 16 mil according to my chairman haha, but itll maybe bring down the price of other players, defence is the weak point i need to work on though.
Yeah defense is my weak point at the moment too (including keeper)
my keeper is alright (Fabianski) 87, looking to bring in Bale and maybe Garay to stengthen the defence

Well my B-squad is my depth for injuries! That and most of my Youths are rated 70 :P. I'll get some 75 rated ones later on when I sell......
Defence is alright for me. I have Hart as keeper and Zambrotta, Yepes and Samuels as well as a few others 8).
My defense would be better, but Burdisso is injured :(
Also BS how much money have you got to start with?
My net died last night so couldn't change my tactics :( now all my players are at like 50% ::) Guess I'll have to go for the cup instead now lol
ive got 7.8mil.. and a stack of unfit players.. not much to work with
Well you will get your first test tomorrow night when you take on me ;)
its kinda hard when i only have about 7 fit players..
just play your weak team this season, get your players right, bring in better players, then go hard next season
can someone tell me where i can get free agents??
doubt youd want free agents...
i dont think i can get enough players on a pitch soon..
i only got 3 reserves.. and only 2 of my bench players are able to play..
BS you may think that I am sounding crazy with what I am about to say but trust me on this.
Sell your best players you currently have so Cahill, Jovanovic, Brown etc. This way you will get a shed load of money and then you can build up a good strong team. You may not be competitive at first but you will be strong in no time ;)
i was thinking that as well.. ill see
It's tough, but I joined early last season and now my team is fairly competitive.
You have to sell. Or even trade them for others if they are worth a lot of money.
anyone wanna give me a good deal for cahill?
Not many teams in the league have that much cash. Put him on the transfer list and in a day or so everton will make a bid for him :)
i would prefer to get players and not money..
Yeah but with that money you can then buy players...
It's a lot better selling them and then buying better players with that money.
I really like this league. It's better working your way up than starting with all the good players.
That's why next season Messi will be coming down under!!! Lock that in 8).
That's right HP next season Messi will be plying his trade at Brisbane Roar ;D
literally clearing out my team..
whats the minimum amount of players i must have??
I think 21 or 23 BS.
It's a race for Messi!!!! If I fail to get him, expect other Big names to make up for it :P. Don't much care for Ronaldo so then Iniesta!
luckily theres no division 2.. so i can just hang low and relax a season while you guys have your big players :P
Ibra is already worth 33 Mil I think ;D.
Ozil and Busq were bought for a combined 25 Mil last season and when they went up they were worth 30 Mil each 8). Forgot to repay CF for the tip :-X.
Wow that's a cool smiley. How do you do that one?
Was on the forum the other day and a fair few people were saying Villa has a chance of going up to 97 :)
I don't visit their forum much unless I have cash in the bank :P.
It's the new : - X together. The lips shut one from old.
ive never been to the forum :P
Yeah I just went on the other day cos I was bored...
Oh that's cool I will have to use it sometime :)
just accepted a bid for alderwield, i should be able to get a new player in by the 21st right ?
just sold almost all my good players and bought a whole load of youngsters.. hopefully they accept :D
Problem is BS since you only have 21 players those transfers will get canceled before the new players come in to replace them. You will need to buy some cheap players before you can sell off the big names for lots of cash!
thats what i was thinking.. i think i can work this out though..
A nice comfortable 4 nil win over Melbourne Heart (don't worry BS you will get better). Goals by Afellay, Costa, Berbatov and Cassano. Berba picked up the man of the match in what will be his final match for the Roar as he is being replaced by Diego Milito :)
Match was dominated by me holding 54% of the possession, and taking 33 shots to their 10, 17 of these were on target to Hearts 7.
Got a top of the table clash against Victory in the next match. It will be a match of the highest scoring team (me) against the best defensive team (Victory). Will be an interesting match
just brought in some fire power in Dejan Stakovic who will be making his first apperence in the semi final :)
Well he should dominate against my B team. Don't think I will be making the final then, although Diego Milito may make a small appearance...
3-1 win over Perth
which puts me in 7th.
Moussa Sow just recieved a rise in ratings, but will be on his way out asap, went from 87 to 88 by the way
Knew he was going to rise so nice extra cash there ZZ ;).
2-1 Win over BP's Sydney which has been the team I really suck against :P. Ibra is such a team player :D. 3 goals and 3 assists in 6 appearances. Also just behind Berba and Villa in performances ;).
Yeah not sure why I am selling Berba considering he has been working so well with Villa. Berba with 6 goals and 3 assists and Villa with 4 goals and 2 assists, but I actually made a profit selling Berba and buying Milito who is rated better so hopefully Milito will work just as well if not better :)
Berba will probably take out the player of the season even though he has only played twice!
also with Stankovic coming in there will be a change of formation, bewar ;)
lol i barely had a team out there.. most of my players were injured or not match fit..
The Hulk is coming to Wellington. ;)
buying a whole load of players with my 33mil i recieved for cahill, jovanovic and rivas :D
still got to sell bresc and brown

Thanks zz. Ekiza, Amat and Gaspar were all bought 3 days ago :)
All 3 are defenders too so they are my subs, Galan I am now selling and Muniain is my sub winger/midfielder

well hes out come TB lifted anyways ;)
Nice ups you guys ;). Wish I could pick them as good as you guys :P.
well i just bought like 8 players :D
HP for me it comes from watching way too much soccer and keeping updated on it too.
Dedicate as much of your life as I do to soccer and you will be fine ;)
If I could watch any I would :P. But even if given the chance, not as into it as you ;).
im getting all my info from my friend who plays fm a lot and knows all the up and coming players :D

leave it in the bank so u cant buy players to destory us
jks :P
if i were u i would buy a player for under 18 mil cos ur gona need money for highwages
Arbeloa, has arrived from Real MAdrid, and a bid of 16.5 mil from Manchester United has been accepted for the injured Rafael
Well I'll be selling Afellay in the next few days so that will get me another 13 mil or so :) Already set up a replacement for him, so might just buy some good back up players I think.
Wow that's a lot of money for rafael zz, what are you going to spend it on?
Just checked and I could bring in Xavi once I sell Afellay :D but then I would have no money and would go in to debt with the wages!
my players have arrived :D but waiting till next game to play them since they're all fatigued.
yehh 3 mil extra than my chariman wanted :D :D haha
umm probs Bale, then, some will help with my replacement for Scholes, havent accepted the bid for him cos i need him for the cup, some will help for when i replace Sow, and the rest will either sit, or by some benchies :)
Nilmar - 90 > 91 :D
I Love Nilmar as a player!! One of the first I signed when I took over my Chievo side a few seasons ago 8).
That's alot of cash CF :o.
Haha yeah HP it is a fair bit. Not entirely sure how I managed to get this much, but it has been slowly accumulating.
Will be bringing in Lampard when I sell Afellay off in the next few days :)
WOW I never realised how awesome this is!
Shame i didnt get it while it started.
Its so awesome how its real but its not easy like on fifa on consoles.
Can you make transfers from other clubs, not nessacerily from the same league?
Also are they default matches that the site runs? Do you follow it or is it clik*result?
And is Hilly talking about Nilmar in the club of Villarreal or Jets? transfer?
And how are the player ratings? similiar to fifa games? What are they based on?
FantasySoccerFanatic! Luigi ;)
and im open if anyone gave up? :P
i just took over a club here luigi.. the last spot in this league..
bad luck man.. pretty awesome stuff though.. completely rebuilding melbourne heart with youngsters.. should start getting competitive around middle of next season..
Sorry luigi BS just took over the only team with out a manager. And now to answer your questions.
1. Yes you can make transfers with any club in the world, they don't have to be in your league. Which is why even though this is the a league we are buying players from Europe.
2. Not really sure what you mean by this question? You are in a league and scheduled to play 2 matches a week against the others in the league
3. Yes Hilly is talking about Nilmar who plays in real life for Villareal. But in the game Hilly bought him so now he plays for Newcastle Jets
4. Ratings tend to be pretty accurate in my opinion. Unlike Fifa where they have lots of attributes such as dribble, tackle, long shots etc, soccer manger just has one combined rating for each player. For example Messi and Ronaldo are both the highest rated with a rating of 98. Ratings are based on their current real life form and every now and again the leagues get reviewed to see who should go up in rating and who should go down. E.g they just did the review of the EPL and Drogba who has not been playing well dropped from a rating of 96 to 95.
Hope this helps ;)

FantasySoccerFanatic! Luigi ;)
You can make transfers from any available players within the league or from external clubs. You can only make 3 trades with a team during 1 season.
There is a World Cup run every season but only Gold Members can participate and can coach a country. There are also friendlies but limited to the teams within the league.
Hilly bought Nilmar from Villarreal and is now at the Jets. CF has David Villa and others while I have Ibrahimovic, Xabi Alonso and Samuels (CF is Brisbane and I am Gold Coast).
The player ratings are based on their REAL LIFE performances over time. If they perform well, they will be more likely to go up depending on their current rating. If they are performing badly or aren't in a tough league (e.g Ronaldinho and Henry), their ratings will drop at different rates.
Nice to have you on board!! Now sure if there are any current teams but can get somebody else to check or you can check yourself once you made an account. The Title has the name of the League so can search it up when you are picking your club/league to join initially.
CF beat me to it :P.
just a question.. how long has heart been unmanaged?? cause compared to your teams.. mines pretty bad :P
Not very long BS. Maybe a week or 2 before you took over, but for it to become unmanaged the previous manager had to not log in for a month...
so.. around 2 months?
cause my team was pretty bad when i started.. ive had to sell all the players as you told me to and its worked wonders.. increased my average rating from 76 to 86 :D
Hey CF I meant how do the matches work.
Is there a certain date when the match is played for the site and then you can check the result after a minute.
Like for example, if SuperCoach ran like this, instead of wating for the whole match 2 be played in real life, a minute or two after the match is scheduled you know the scores and how the players went??
Ok so i'm too late to join A-League? Never mind. I'll make an account when i take up my first club..
Ah right. Yeah for the a league the games are played on thursday mornings at 7am and sunday at 7am, but it sometimes takes a little while for the result to come in. So yeah you set your tactics before hand and then just wait really. I set them the night before and then when I wake up in the morning I check the result :)
nice OK. look fwd to joining one of these soon!
keep me posted! :)
Lost to Melbourne Victory 3-2 in a match where I won all the important stats. Had more possession (52%), more shots (28 to 13) and more shots on target (15 to 6) yet I still lose >:(
Victory are already 5 points clear of everyone else and they haven't lost a game!
Beat Heart 3-0. Sorry about the injury to Carney BS. :(
its ok ML
hes not in my first team anyway.. pretty much played a reserve team cause the transferred players are not 100%
gonna play a first team in the cup against perth
I'm in 2nd place. :o
Playing Victory next week and looking to be the only team who can defeat them.
Well make sure you do ML!
Then I will beat you :P
I was going to sell Altidore because of the poor start....so what does he come out and do? He slams in a hat trick in a 4-0 win over the Glory. I guess you can stay a little longer :P

Congratz to Fury for beating me :(. Kewell's double wasn't enough going down 3-2.
thx hp :)
not rely happy with bein 5th tho
How Are everyone's team on this? reesbr, CF, HP, Boomz, cptCun, Zz, BP, hilly, hawka and benjy?
Who's got the strongest side? the best signings?
id have to say ive got the best team... :P
Nah probs CF or HP at the moment.
though ive got Forlan, Scholes, Zanetti, Suarez, Cavani and Arbeloa as my stars, and Bale is gonna be making his way in soon ;)
and i forgot Stankovic, who is making his debut in the semi final ;)
Luigi if you were wondering who owns which team it goes like this:
Brisbane Roar - Me
Gold Coast United - HP
North Queensland Fury - hawka
Melbourne Victory - reesbr
Melbourne Heart - BoredSaint
Newcastle Jets - Hilly
Sydney FC - BP
Adelaide United - zz
Perth Glory - boomz
Wellington Phoenix - ML
I think that my team is one of the strongest. Stars include David Villa, Diego Milito, Florent Malouda, and Antonio Cassano. Will also be bringing in Frank Lampard soon :)
yeh id say you have the most depth in your side CF
lol what's the ladder?
CF, HP and ZZ around the top?
nah im round the bottom, had a weaker team at the start of the season plus a couple injuries im going for the cup anyways ;)
Ladder is currenty
Team - Points
Victory - 17
Wellington - 14
Brisbane - 13
Gold Coast - 13
North Queensland - 13
Newcastle - 9
Sydney - 7
Perth - 7
Adelaide - 2
Heart - 2
I had an unlucky loss to Victory this morning which I should have won and would have put me in to first place. We are 7 games in and this league has 18 matches per season, so still plenty of time left...
CF has the most depth in his side. My team isn't all that ;). We were able to get the title last season despite playing 1 man down literally for the entire season and he was one of my BIG buys last season (Ozil :'(). CF got the Cup though ;).

what do you mean ZZ; arent you always going for the Cup ??? :-\ :o
nahh cos like if you go for the cup, your players are likely to be fatigued for the league games so its one or the other usually. Unless your as talented as me and win the cup and league like in the FF Cup :P
What he means luigi is he is focusing on the cup (like the fa cup) instead of on the league.
The cup is run at the start of each season in a knockout system. You need to decide whether you will try and win the cup or the league, it's very hard to win both because if you play your best players in the league and cup matches they will get extremely fatigued and wont play well. So most people play their reserve players in the cup to save the energy of their better players. But zz wants to win the cup so he will play his stronger players in the cup instead of in the league games
ahh ok. it is possible to try win both with rotations but it would be risky...
are the Cup games played when??
and is there a Cup for the made up ones (like the FF Cup) ?
Yes and there is also CL and EL and WordClubCup etc. but you have to be a gold manager, but those matches dont fatigue your players :)
Yeah it would be possible, but it would be tricky unless you had really good squad depth..
For the aus league cup games are played on Tuesday mornings and the league games Thursday morning and Sunday morning.
For the other league the cup games are on Wednesday mornings and league games Friday morning and Monday morning
So for the FF Cup which i will soon be in: (awaiting on Shaggy and CF)
League Matches: Friday and Monday Mornings
Cup Matches: Wednesday Morning
got it.
-did i read somewhere that you have to pay to make a league like Shaggy did?
Yep that's correct Luigi, so place your orders in the night before though since the games are run at 7 am.
Yeah shaggy paid to make a private league for us FF people :)
That's why no one can rejoin without him offering them a place
Yep. He was kind enough to make a league just for all of us to join :D. The A-League one IS NOT made by a user but by the site. We just were fast enough to get all the spots filled up quickly.
i have Antoni Di Natale,Eric Abibal and Giggs there my highest raters
Alright kool.
But can you change your side every time for each league and cup match.
Like Tuesday Evening: change your side based on who you want for Cup match
Thursday Evening: change your side based on who you want for league match
Sunday Evening: change your side again based on injurues, fatigue etc.
-Or do you have to keep the same team for the 2 league macthes?
Yep, you can change your lineup anytime between matches. Can either play you A-team or B-team or even a mix if you want. You set up who you want to play and the subs and when they come on (can even set multiple tactics at different times).
ull learn this when u make ur account and do the tutorial
im definately concentrating on the cup.. my players wont last a full season without fatigue
Getting a nice £14,040,000 for the sale of Afellay, almost twice what I paid for him :)
Means I only have to spend 1 mil of my own money to upgrade to Lampard :D
Or I could spend even more of my money and get Xavi and still have 5 mil in the bank :)
i reckon Lampard would be a safer option.... :P ;)
Safer for your teams? :P
Yeah I have gone for him anyway cos I want money in the bank to upgrade others...
haha yehh thats what i ment :P :P

Crap don't scare me like that.
The cup game is tonight :P
oh i thought it was last night haha
Haha nope, it is tonight. You made me worried cos I would have played my fatigued a team if it had been last night!
Yeh thats what i was trying to do stress you out before our big match ;)
you playing your B's ?

Yep B's will be out in style :)
Be warned my B side has defeated an almost full strength GC side ;)
Most your B side will be better than one of the guys ive got playing due to an injury anyways
i surprisingly have a better average squad than perth who i am versing tonight :D
definately playing a full team since i cant win the league anyway
My starting XI tonight have an average rating of 84. Quite good I think for my reserves :)
yes very good my reserves only rate 78, i rate 90, but playing a knew formation tonight.
Got absolutely thumped in the cup today. My B team lost to zz's A team 8-2!!
It certainly didn't help that I was playing with 3 defenders and in the very first minute of the game 1 of them got sent off so I played with only 2 defenders for the whole game!
Anyway zz deserved the win as he is trying to win the cup and I wasn't. Match stats were 58-42% in Adelaide's favoure, total shots 44-11 and shots on target 22 to 7, both in favour of Adelaide.
I will now have to pick myself back up in the league with a win over Newcastle in my next game :)

Squad not starting side ;) I have a ton of guys rated 70...
won 4-1 in the end ;D I have my first chance to win something lol
Well good luck to both Perth and Adelaide in the final. First chance for both teams to get a trophy :)
Will you both be going in full strength?
I will be 8)
cant believe I lost 4-1 with my full strength side..
You were a little unlucky BS especially when you look at the shots on target stat. Boomz had 4 shots on target and scored 4 times, you had 10 shots on target and only scored once. Guess that's what happens when he has Buffon in goal!
Also the avg rating of both starting XI's was 90 for Perth and 87 for Heart...
yeah but he has buffon which boosted his rating up.. where as mine is more evenly spread..
bad luck I guess..

yeh of course !! :P
Actually my third :P
Came 2nd in the cup in season 1
Came 2nd in league in season 2
and this oppurtunity :P
That's very unlucky CF! Took the risk with 3 and got turned to 2 :o. Guess ZZ should be happy with that :P.
Haha sorry zz I meant a chance to get their first trophy!
I love buffon ;D I have him who boosts my ratings but the rest of my side are still all rated 85+... Majority around 89-90
its okay CF :P
U injured my CB, lucky Bale is in now so dont need him anyways :)
Lampard only getting half an hour tonight and Burdisso still missing, but apart from that everyone is fully fit and ready to go against Newcastle Jets tonight!
playing a weak sode once again and cant remember the opponent :P
Not much chat tonight for this league even though matches are tomorrow morning.
How is everyone looking at the moment?
Pretty sure I'm playing a full strength side against the Heart. Tactics aren't great but hopefully the side does enough to get over the line :D.
Playing a full strength squad against the undefeated Victory. Victory have a couple stars and the rest are pretty good whereas my team is well rounded with no stars.
Hopefully I can get the first win against Reesbr.

Victory are 5 points clear, but then only 1 point separates 2nd to to 5th!
I need to try and get top at one time during the season. ;)

A 3 nil win for me over the Jets this morning :) Milito with 2 and Perez with the other. Only problem was one of my defenders got sent off again. What is it with them? I don't have them set to aggressive or even hard for that matter!
Stats were 59%-41% possession my way, total shots 35 to 13 my way and shots on target 17 to 4.
Still left in third place as Wellington did beat Victory :) Gold Coast and North Queensland also won so there is 3 points separating the top 5!
at least im improving.. scored 2 goals in the last 2 games :D
That's the spirit BS :)
The B Side won for me :) though it was only playing against Glory's B Side
Just a cup preview BOOMZ get ready for the same result Monday ;)

Thanks you ML for beating Reesbr!!! Now only 3 point seperate 1st and 5th almost half way through the season :o.

Haha yes. You went down 1 nil after just 4 minutes, but Hulk equalised in the 74th minute and then Vidal scored the winner in the 83rd minute!
Thought so. ;)
Drew with Victory pushing me back to 5th! Just behind first by 3 points.
WTF CF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12-Nil win over Perth. BOOMZ would be shattered! 8 goals in the second half
Then Sydney won 6-0 over Adelaide as well!!!
2 massive drubbing at the half way mark!
Hahahaha I had the biggest win in FF soccermanager history!!! I beat Perth Glory 12 nil ;D ;D
I guess that's what happens when you play a team with an average rating of 91 against a team averaging 76 (that includes Buffon's rating of 94)!
Villa, Chivu and Perez all got 1 goal, Milito, Joaquin and Costa got 2 goals, and Cassano got a hattrick! Cassano also got 3 assists and Milito got 4!
The match stats are absolutely hilarious! I held 69% of the possession, and had a total of 86 shots at goal to Perth's 8! Of those 86 shots 45 were on target to Perth's 6. I guess they were lucky they had Buffon or it may have been a whole lot more!
The only downside is Milito got injured and will be out for 10 days :(
HP those 2 demolitions were because they both played their B squads so their A squads would be fit for the cup this week ;)
of top spot by 1 ;D but it coundt come at a worse time i wont b able to change my team for a couple of games :(
Why not hawka?
DAMN.. almost had my first win..forgot to set tactics.. and was up 2-1 at HT. ahh well at least I scored 2 goals!! :D
Nice BS. You are getting better each game you play :)

Haha yeah mine is now up to +26 :)
Already had the highest scoring team and GD before this game though 8)
haha wow 12-0 :o :o i lost 6-0 looking at this thread but remeber i beat u 6-0 the other day CF ;)
No you didn't ZZ, you beat me 8-2 in the cup. Shows how strong we are making our first teams if they can smash the b squads so easily!
still 6 goals :P
Cup Final tonight, got a starting 11 average of 91 :)

Good Luck fella's!
Just hope my guys can string together wins for the rest of the season.
who started this?? i heard reesbr gave up? can i join?
Reebr hasn't quit. So there are no spots available sorry luigi.
And no one started this league it was a public league that we all joined before anyone else could
CUP FINAL TONIGHT !!! :D :D
escited to get my crown for winning ;)
You are a magician when it comes to cups ZZ! Only if you applied yourself to the league as well :P.
Good Luck and also the same to BOOMZ (I think).
Only ever won one :(
I have won 3 cups and a league :)
But you've gone further than I've ever been in one of the FF leagues :P.
Well I'm the reigning Champions of Both FF leagues :).
Perth won the cup 4-1 on penalties after a nil all draw.
Bit surprising there were no goals considering Adelaide had 17 shots on target and Perth 12.
Well done boomz on a good win. Unlucky zz for the loss
wooooooooot ;D ;D ;D Finally won something :P I hate penalty shootouts in this game I always seem to lose them but now i love them ;D
Good game Zz ;)
flower Sake !! -__-
good job Boomz
Congratz BOOMZ :D. Good luck in the rest of the season ZZ.
On the bright side though, you still got some good cash from it.
yeh got 12mil at the moment the cash i won should cover the wages for the rest of the year :)
Can't believe I lost 3-2 to Sydney >:(
I was up 2-1 and then they scored 2 goals in 2 minutes to get the win! So crap considering they had 10 men for 75 minutes of the match and I had 12 shots on target to their 6. Also my starting XI had an average rating of 90 and Sydney's only 85.
If I had won I would have been first. Instead I am now fifth! >:(
It was 2 goals in two minutes by Drinkwater and VDV that saw off the Roar. Diaby wasn't enough to play the full game by Drinkwater did just fine plugging that gap ;D . Meanwhile Altidore slammed in #7 of the year
does anyone reckon anyone in this league is not active anymore? if so who? i'll pm them and hope that he i kind to give me it! :P
Haha was a bit annoyed this morning but have now calmed down.
Well done on the win BP, I guess with me beating you in an upset in the cricket last night you were bound to get the upset here ;)
I guess my only consolation from the match was how much Cassano dominates this game!! 1 goal and 1 assist from the match taking his season tally to 10 goals and 8 assists from 8 matches. An average rating of 9.20, and 3 man of the match performances. Can this guy be stopped?? :o
scored a 1-1 draw against victory :D very happy :) but now I have to play my B side in the next game..
Why do you have to play your B side?
because they cant recover fast enough to play on saturday..
Most of my players can with the exception of 3-4 depending on how well they played now.
5-2 win over Perth. 4-0 up at the break and conceeded 2 goals :(. Forwards only combined for 1 goals (Ibra) but with 3 assists as 3 of my goals came from my defensive mids (set to fall back)! Very nice team performance.
Sitting in 4th right now but top 5 are only seperated by a game so it's anybody's chance! Only Fury and Victory versing each other next round out of the top 5 so will be interesting to see if everybody else can win to stay with the top pack.
Playing adelaide next round and I don't fancy my chances as I will be resting a few players I think, plus he will have his full a team fit and ready...
yeh the ful team will be ready sorry CF, need to get my team off the bottom too
It's weird cos my team was all at 100% before this mornings match and usually that means they should be high 90's for the Saturday game, but they are all very low 70's so not much chance of them getting their from 3 fatigue updates since at each one the improve from 5-10%...

Ot is strange actually... ??? looks like a few of your players wont be playing in tonights game, or they will come off the bench...
Yep you won't be facing the full wrath of the roar tonight zz ;)
I have decided you are my bogey team in soccer manager. I can't seem to beat you with either barca or brisbane!
wow just realised that us two playing is quite an exciting fixture every time weve played weve produce 3 or more goals and the last 4 times weve played there has been 25 goals scored :o

Dang Jets -_-. Good game and that 86th goal saved you from a draw. Victory and Pheonix clear top now but Fury 2 points behind. GC and Roar a further 2 and 3 back from Fury.
8 games left so I can only hope :P.
8 games left so hopefully I can get a win soon. :P been close in my last 3 games :)

Managed to sell Burdisso today since he has been out for the entire season and now have 33 mil in the bank. Will be bringing in Albiol for 15 mil and saving the rest of end of season I think.
Finally will be able to put my full strength team on the park! :)
With the addition of Albiol my average rating for my starting XI is 92 :D
However he wont be starting tonight and neither will Milito as neither are at full fitness, so rating is only 90 :(
However I should be full strength for the game on Saturday against Gold Coast, providing there are no injuries of course...
hoping to knock of gold coast tonight ;)

Good Luck ZZ, wouldn't put it past you ;). But I have to win to stay in the title race!
Don't you rate around 90 or 91 HP?
I probably will lose, my team always underperforms :(

I haven't got a clue! Maybe if I can actually get all of them onto the field :P. Have a few 88/89 rated players playing (About 3 or 4 I think at full strength). Gotta ask yourself if you want to face Carroll or Kewell? ;). Or throw in Ibra and all three! ;D.
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
SCORED MY FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON AGAINST HILLY AND THE JETS!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
Well done BS!!
Had a very dull nil all draw with Wellington leaving me in 5th place :'(
Great job BS :D.
Lost 4-3 against Adelaide as it was the 60+ minutes that got to my team :(. 3-3 before then before a red card and a goal conceeded ::).
I'm probably a bit too far behind to catch up (as probably is CF) so looks like it's Reesbr's to lose!
Yeah I guess I can concede that I am too far behind now, 7 points is quite a lot to catch up in 6 games!
Although one of us still might have a chance HP depending on how results go on Saturday. If we draw then we are both out but the winner of our match could still have a slight chance if results go their way :)
You know you want to throw the match CF :P.
Doubt my team can lift and the curse of the League Champion continues........
Well at least you're not doing as badly as I was in my championship defense ;)
another win killing off another teams hopes at the lague title this year, sorry boys ;) :(
hoping to knock off NQF, with a full strength side tonight :)
You expect more than 6,900 to come and see GC vs Roar ::).
Close match with CF winning 3-2. He also goes and gets Wilshere injured for 2 weeks ::). Out of the season :'(. Brighi has to stand up as his replacement.
CF dominated possession, I dominated shots.
Due to the loss, I could slip down to 6 with BP on my heels!
Sorry for injuring wilshere HP. I guess my players just weren't happy that he moved to our rivals after playing for the Roar :P
I stuffed up my sub orders. They were meant to come off after 60 minutes not half time haha
Well he'll still be around next season to torment you guys :P.
4-1 win :)
Arberoala injured thouh :(
bad spelling i know :P
3 all draw with North Queensland this morning, all goals scored before we both made subs at 60 minutes. There were a heap of shots in this game with me having 23 shots and 12 on target, whilst NQF had 27 shots and 16 on target.
Cassano picked up his 12th goal of the season and 5th man of the match performance. Cassano leads the goal scoring, assists table, average rating and has most man of the match awards. What a star!! :D
I think this Victory are going to win this season now, with just 4 games left he is 6 points clear of 2nd place. Well done reesbr
2-0 victory for Sydney over the Jets as "Beat up on Hilly" month continues :P Saviola and VDV both found the back of the net
man this seems like so much fun! :(
i am building on my defence to fowards, just need some money.
that loss just puts me more in debt.
Quote from: Luigi197 on April 14, 2011, 11:21:15 AM

It is :(. FanFooty Cup is less fun as all the Big Stars are already there. Here, we are bringing them in ;). CF and I are leading the way in Big Names but it's Reesbr and Victory still sitting top!!!
I beat ML and the Pheonix 3-1 with Ibra scoring a double with Kewell adding another. Unlucky a goal was conceeded by a lapse of judgement but I'll take the win ;). Dominated possession and shots but still trying to mount a chance to go up the ladder some more! Very close race between second two sixth with only 1 game seperating all of us!!! Although Looks like Reesbr's won, one of the closest races so far 8).
A change is going to come to Gold Coast next few days...... Ambrosini may have to say his farewells soon after a very successful stint with us :'(.
feel like starting a new Australian one, with new or some same people.
Get LWeeGee and anybody else who isn't in this one to go to that. We are enjoying this, but they can't :(. Like BB and LWeeGee and ...... ???.
Yeah Hilly :D
If or when you do keep me posted :D
just look for an empty Australian league.
oh wait, i'm in one now.
i'll prob make another account. Who cares about my SM reputation; i just wanna have fun :D
look for Australian Championship 808

Yea im loving these changes, especially for my Shakhtar team ;)

No that is the next league...
i just logged on then and was very suprised to see Victory on top! Fabregas killing it
Haha reesbr when was the last time you logged on??
Yeah looks like you will be winning the league this year ;)
Haha 28 days ago I think. I need to pay more attention
Haha big surprise
Wow you almost lost your club then!
Better pay attention for the rest of the season then
Picked up a 2-1 win over Melbourne Heart in a very tight affair. Milito and Albiol were my scorers, Aaron Ramsey scored for Heart. Stats were very even, except for possession which I won comfortably. Heart had 14 shots to my 13, but only 8 of theirs were on target to my 9. The downside from the match is Barry picked up an injury ruling him out of the top of the table clash against Melbourne Victory on Wednesday...

Jorge Hernandez - 80-->83 8)
2-2 Draw with the Glory despite being hopelessly outpossessed (42 to 58), Outshot (10-21), having shots on target (2-10) and being a man down when Altidore popped up to nail the equalizer. Squilachi managed to get himself sent off AGAIN but we remain 4th on GD.
Looks like you did well to get a point then BP ;)
I beat the Victory 3-1 ;D ;D
Goals to Villa, Lampard and Hazard on debut, Fabregas scored a consolation goal for Melbourne. Unfortunately with 2 games to go he is 4 points ahead of me, so will be very hard to win the league from here, but I am also 4 points clear of third place :)
1 point separates the places from third to sixth :o
Demolished Hilly 8-3 8)
Oliseh MOTM with a hatrick, Cavani with 2, Suarez with 1 and 3 asissts, Diarra with 1 and 2 asissts, forlan with 1 and Sow with an asisst.
Dominated possesion 67-33, shots 44-9 :o on target 18-3
A 1-0 win over Fury but with the loss of Kewell for the rest of the season and a few games of next season :'(. Lucky I have back up for him :).
Win pushes me up to third and that's where I'm hoping to stay as top 2 is almost out of my reach.
Saw that ZZ :o. Nice work ;).
Very nice ZZ, playing hilly on Sat so hopefully I can do the same ;)
most likely going for the league next season so thats just what you guys are gonna get a taste of ;)
Haha whatever, the Roar are the best team going around. Get used to it :P
Keep forgetting to set tactics even though I knew I was playing.
Lost 2-0 to the Heart.
Sorry guys, but seeing as Gotze is hot property i place a bid on him last night and it was just accepted then 8) :P
Also;
Hiram Mier 75--->82
Erick Torres 75--->82
Javier Cortes 80--->84
8)
I saw that ZZ ;). Didn't have the money to get him :(. Will look elsewhere :P.
if i got enough money and hes not already gone i might get someone else too... ;)

Well I just buy when I feel like it ;)
I have lots of cash (well I did, but then I spent it)
Made a bid for Theo Walcott
set my team for another match against BOOMZ :) With Gotze having a full debut ;)
I need to set tactics for three teams. :P
Hope I don't get them confused.

Same here :P. But only 2 more to go for tonight as I finished with my GC side earlier 8).
I have to do 4 :P doing the 4th now/eating tea :P
ok. Done them. :)
My Rennes team is looking good.
I'll post it maybe in a different thread cos I may ask for help for formations and so forth. :P
An absolutely boring, lifeless, do nothing 0-0 draw with the Fury. We remain 4th, 1 point behind the Phoenix.
Intrestingly in other games, Reesbr's Victory lost again while CF's Roar inflicted more misery on Hilly and the Jets. The margin going into the final game is one point. CF host BOOMZ and the Glory while Reesbr travels to face the defending champs...HP and GC United

7-1 victory of the Jets is always a nice confidence booster ahead of the final game of the season! Cassano with 2 (again), Hazard with 2, and Malouda, Lampard and Albiol with 1. Dominated all the stats, I had more shots on target than he had shots in total :P
If HP can beat Victory all I need is a draw to get the title since my goal difference is much greater than Victories...
4-1 victory over BOOMZ 8)
My team is starting to go strong now... Bit too late, coulda maybe done it in the cup final...

Haha, need to go out with a BANG so why not try to rid of the Title's curse by finishing top half of the table ;).
Haha they already think they are rigged even though they're not :(
I worked out it only stops transfers between clubs I have invited in to the game, so Luigi and BB :(
Final round of what has been the closest season so far in this league!
1 point between first and second, 2 points between third and sixth etc. Only team we can know for certain wont change position (unless they win by 7 goals and team above loses by 6) is Adelaide United who will finish 7th. Every other position is still up for grabs, from winning the championship to winning the wooden spoon!
I'm playing 8th placed Perth Glory tonight where I know that a win wont be enough to win the league if Victory win, but if Victory lose I only require a draw to claim my second league title!
Going to be an exciting round of matches tonight :D
ill win by 10 just to make it easier for the other team 8) ;)
Dissapointing season for me, still no silver wear

You owe me if I beat or draw with Victory :P. Near Full strength team 8).
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Beat Perth Glory 7-2 and Victory had a 2 all draw with Gold Coast, which means Brisbane Roar are the league champions for the second time, 1 point ahead of Victory who finished second ;D
Goal scorers in my game were Lampard and Cassano (again) with 2, and Hazard, Barry and Villa with 1 each. Kalou and Pacheco scored the goals for Perth.
In what you would call a dominant season Roar finished the season having scored 64 goals (an average of 3.5 a game), which was 22 more than the next highest scorer Melbourne Victory. The Roar strikers were all in fine form this year with Cassano picking up the Golden Boot for leading goal scorer finishing the season with 16 strikes, Villa finished with 7 goals and Berbatov, Milito and backup striker Costa scored 6 each. Cassano also lead the league in assists finishing with 12, which is the reason why he picked up the Player of the Year award finishing with an average performance of 8.79 from 16 appearances. Berbatov was runner up, and Villa and Milito were 4th and 5th respectively. Overall it was a great season by the Roar, so congratulations!!
(http://au.greekreporter.com/files/2011/03/Brisbane-Roar.jpeg)
p.s HP we can now say we are even, after I told you to buy Ozil and Busquets and you got a draw with Victory ;)
I guess so CF :P. Congratz on the Championship and hope your curse continues :P.
Least I managed top 5 which breaks the curse of the 1st place :P.
Ibra finished with 10 goals in his stint followed by Carroll's 7 and Kewell's 6. Gattuso who is on his way out scored 5 goals this season. Ibra led the assisters with 7 assists. Ambrosini finished with 6 assists and Carroll with 5.
I can sell Cassano tomorrow if I want, but since he had such a great season I will see how he begins the next. If he can't keep scoring or getting assists I will sell him though
I'm selling some of my guys for the money but bringing in some STARS still :P. Dibs on Messi :P.
Do red cards carry over lol ?
What were my players doing!!!!!!!!!!
I should of won this season
Congrats CF ;)
eh, don't know wheather to continue in this game world
sorry guys but my team is absoloute shower house, and i have no chance of bringing it to the top, i can't sell players, nor buy any, i am in debt.
How on earth did you manage to get in to debt?? It's not like you are spending a lot on wages!
How much are you in debt Hilly? I'll see what I can do for you :).
Quote from: Hellopplz on April 29, 2011, 07:28:12 PM

-$508k
i don't know CF, losing matches i realised does quite a bit.
I'll get you out of it :). And give you a little to buy 10k players ;).
Accept the bid for Mooy Hilly. Then buy some 10k players so you can sell up :).
Take this as a sort of financial backing for your team from the Gold Coast to stop you guys from folding.
That's very generous of you HP :)
Now hilly can bring in some 10k players then sell then expensive players and bring in a more balanced squad :)
Could have given him the minimum but think an extra 500k will help him a little more with the 10k players and gives him a little extra for down the track.
Remember to keep 1-2 Mil in the bank AT LEAST. I had 6 Mil in the bank so didn't mind giving up the money :).
Just signed John Obi Mikel ;D
Basically got my team set for the new season. Retaining 6 of the first XI from last year and so will be bringing in 5 new faces. 4 of them have already come in/have bids pending at the moment, and now just need to decide who to bring in as my third defender...
Have to decide soon if its worth keeping Mussacchio, Cavani, Suarez ad Sow. Sow and Cavani are both top scorers in the leguae, so looking for a rise ? Musacchio, nice and young no nothing except hes a talent and Suarez ill probs keep cos he plays for Liverpool :)
would like to upgrade my side but still on TB until late may.. :(
Same BS ! :(
The world cup starts tonight for those with Gold membership (just me and hilly I think).
Hoping to add another trophy to my trophy cabinet :)
well i got smacked 4-1 by Turkey, going to do my tactics!
Defence and Midfield are stocked up :D. Wingers aren't the best rated but have a more all round team 8).
Ozil and Hernandez still to come in to help out the other parts :P.
anyone think musacchio will rise at the next changes ? Got someone in mind if hes not going to
From what I've read on the SM forums, think he should hold his spot more likely that a rise. Cavani should rise though with his season.
Yeh, decided to keep Cavani and already made a replcaement bid for Musacchio
I have been knocked out of the World Cup by Argentina at the first knockout stage after losing 2-1 :(
Extremely annoyed cos when I looked at the stats I had more possession than Argentina, more shots (21 to 7) and more shots on target (12 to 3) yet I lose!
Also annoyed with you HP :P, I wanted Ivanovic, but had to wait till the new season since I had already made 3 trades with Chelsea, then the new season started today and I find out Ivanovic is playing for Gold Coast! ::)

Mwahahaha...... I mean sorry CF :P. I like Ivanovic and got him in as he was rated well and was worth more to me :P.
I can't make any bids for Barca players until today :D. But only 10 Mil remain in the bank.....
Haha it's alright, just meant I had to find a different defender to bring in to finalise my team.
So when are you bringing in Messi?
I could but means I have to sell off Wilshere and Altintop (maybe another) but they are good role players. That and Wilshere should rise at next changes :P.
Might be put off another season as I signed Ozil and Hernandez with the cash (if I kept that cash could have brought him in). Forwards a weak point for me this season with Hernandez and Carroll likely to be starters.
Yeah I won't be bringing in messi or ronaldo yet either. Trying to get an even squad before getting in massive names!
Song is in and is a solid replacement for Musacchio in the centre of my defence.
how did u guys go about signing so many good players!
Its season 4, but how did u get the money?
Basically by buying and selling players.
Cos when you start you value good players much greater than other clubs so you buy them cheaply and then you can sell them for much more and then buy even better players :)
Well my team is now fully set for the season ahead with the starting XI having an average rating of 92. Starting XI for this season will look like this barring injuries and suspension...
De Gea
(89)
Skrtel - Albiol - Vermaelen
(90) (92) (91)
Valencia - Khedira - Lampard - Hazard
(91) (91) (94) (90)
Cassano
(91)
Villa - Milito
(96) (94)
thats stronger than my ajax squad D:
Haha BS :D
Howard
(90)
Arbeloa - Song - Bale
(91) (91) (90)
Stankovic
(93)
Gotze - Diarra - Zanetti - Cavani
(88) (92) (94) (91)
Suarez - Forlan
(91) (93)
Forlan is moving on, Sow (88) will be moving on along with Stankovic, Diarra, Arbeloa and maybe Bale.
Both of you two have a better team than me :P. CF better win this season or something went horribly wrong :P.
i wonder what people will do if i win :D
guys do i stil have fury?
hey your back!!!!!!!
Playing Boomz and his Perth Glory tonight in the Charity Shield. I have won the Shield both times so far, but not expecting to win tonight as I am playing my full B squad so that my best players are fresh for the opening league game of the season.
Good luck boomz
Quote from: hawka26 on May 12, 2011, 08:29:39 PM
guys do i stil have fury?
No you resigned yesterday. But you can easily take over the club again :)
Welcome back by the way :D
Well as expected I lost to Perth Glory in the Charity Shield 3-1. What was unexpected were the stats, although I got smashed in the possession stakes (40-60) I had more shots (32-22) and more shots on target (17-15) than Boomz so perhaps should have gotten a better result from the game.
But can't complain considering my team had an average rating of 83 and age of 20, whereas Perth had an average rating 89 and were 8 years my senior.
And I have Boomzie up first round of the new season starting tommorrow morning.
I'm looking to be making some more moves in the TM so hopefully can sign some better players 8).
Glory won 1-0 >:(. And I won the shots 38-6 >:( >:(. Puts me in a foul mood as I dominated the match yet my players couldn't score >:( >:( >:(.
Nice 4-0 win to strat the season with :) Brought Kuyt in and Rossi is on his way both players will rise in the next rating changes :)
That's cos you sold Ibra HP :P Also having Buffon would be very helpful for stopping shots!
Won 5-2 against Sydney to continue my form from last season :) Won possession, shots and shots on target.
Got the local derby in the next game playing against Gold Coast
wow won 4-1 against wellington :)
Comfortable 4-1 win in the Q Clash against Gold Coast. Only had 4 shots on target but that's all you need to score goals. Villa, Cassano, Milito and Perez were the scorers. Puts me top of the table and that is where I plan on staying :)
Won 4-2 over Victory and not looking at the ladder im guessing im probs second ?
Yeah zz you are equal on points with me and goal difference. But I have scored more goals than you ;)
going for the league this season so watch out! ;)
A disappointing 4 all draw with Victory drops me back to second place. Was very disappointing considering I was up 2 nil at half time >:(
no idea how im doing so well.. just won 5-2 against perth to put me in 3rd by GD
Won 2-0 over Fury leaving me on top of the table being the only team with a perfect record 8) domintaed all stats :)
5-2 Away win over Sydney :D. Ranocchia scored a goal and an assist before being red carded in the 31st minute :P. Carroll with a double helped 8).
David Villa has been sold! Basically because I needed the money (only had about 500k left), otherwise I would have kept him. Sold for 34 mil and his replacement will be Carlos Tevez, who will debut on Wednesday against bottom placed Wellington Phoenix.
To be honest I am aiming to win both the league and cup this year. My A team has a starting XI average rating of 92 and my B team has an average rating of 86 8)
Well the Cup starts up again tonight. Can Perth Glory claim back to back titles? Or will previous winners Brisbane or Sydney decide they want "their" cup back? Or will a new team step forth and claim the cup as their own? All those questions and more will be answered in just 4 weeks time when 2 teams will step on to the turf at Wembley and fight it out to become the Australian Championship Cup winners!
To start us off though 2 teams need to qualify and join the 6 already entered teams in the competition. The 4 teams battling it out for a spot in the quarter finals are North Queensland, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide. NQF play Sydney and Perth play Adelaide so we may see 2 previous winners knocked out before the cup even starts properly!
Good luck to all 4 teams, the one with the most luck will manage to avoid Brisbane Roar in the next round ;)
Playing a B-Side against Perth with a strating 11 rating of 82, so anything could happen ;)
1-0 win has me top? or equal top?
3-1 win over NQF :)
Yeah you are top zz, 2 points clear of me. Why don't you just check the ladder?
Beat Phoenix 4-1, goals from Milito (2), Valencia and Skrtel. Tevez on debut was man of the match with a rating of 10 :)
Dominated the stats, holding 63% possession, having 40 shots to 15 and 20 of them on target to Phoenix's 5. Take on North Queensland next in another Queensland derby
Oh no Diego Milito -1 to 93 :(
The worse news is that I was going to sell him and he came off the transfer ban today so if he had kept his rating for a couple more days I would have gotten more money :'(

I've got him with Chelsea :'(. He was my best rated forward but now is second best (If Robben is counted) :'(. Was expecting the drop though but didn't know when it was coming. That's just unlucky CF.
4-3 win over Fury. Was leading 3-1 so got nervous when it became 3 all, but Douglas Costa popped up with the winner :) The other goal scorers were Albiol and Tevez with 2, to continue his great form since his arrival to Brisbane. Milito showed no sign of his rating going down picking up 2 assists and getting a match rating of 9.
Adelaide again won to leave them 5 and 0 so still sitting second, 2 points behind them.
Next game is against Wellington Phoenix in the cup so will be playing my super B squad for the match :)
58 shots with 34 on target!!! :o :o But only 2 went in, i guess having Buffon is what helps ;) anyways a 2-0 win to keep my top is good :)
Also suprised about Zanetti's drop in rating
wow.. seriously dont know how im doing this.
beat newcastle 2-1 in the cup with my second team.. controlled the possestion 64-36
but was down 13-8 on shots
chrisantus is fast becoming a super pick up.
Beat Phoenix 3-1 in penalties after coming back from 2 nil down to tie the game up at 2 all. Played my second squad, but he played his first team so most of them are now not match fit.
Play Adelaide in the next round and I assume we will both play our second teams then...
Crap. Forgot to change tactics. :(
Nice 1-0 win over HP's first team :)
Bring it on CF ! ;)

We'll just say you had great tactics ;). Well done ZZ.
The forward line at Brisbane Roar has been undergoing some changes in recent weeks.
Firstly David Villa left the club 11 days ago after 21 appearances in the Orange of Roar, scoring 9 goals and creating 10 assists. He has already been replaced by Carlos Tevez who has started his career off well scoring 2 goals and getting an assist in 2 games, being named MOTM in both.
Diego Milito also left the club yesterday after 16 appearances in a Brisbane shirt. He contributed 10 goals and 13 assists during this time. Robinho will be his replacement and he will debut tonight against Melbourne Heart.
Finally Antonio Cassano will play his final game for the club tonight before he heads back to AC Milan. During Cassano's time at the club he made 22 appearances scoring 19 goals and getting 15 assists. Last season he was also named player of the season and won the golden boot. He will be sorely missed. Cassano will be replaced by another man who has spent time at the club, Dimitar Berbatov.
In total the strike trio of Villa, Milito and Cassano scored a whopping 38 goals and 38 assists in 59 appearances. Hopefully the new strikers can replicate this form or better it, only time will tell :)
Rossi, Suarez and Cavani are better ;) :P
Haha no way zz :P
HP's favourite player Leighton Baines has joined the Roar to provide some solid backup in defense and the left midfield spot. Has a rating of 89, but considering the season he has had wouldn't be surprised to see his rating increase to 90. He will attempt to lead the Brisbane Roar B Team to cup glory :)
Gotze should be leading my lineup and is tipped to reach a rating of 90 hopefully it happens before the cup final!!
Also a nice 4-1 win to keep me still without a draw or loss ontop of the table!!
You're not going to make the cup final so what does it matter if he increases in rating before the final? :P
I meant Semi ;) But ill make the final dont you worry!! got a trick or two up my sleeve 8)
Germany were recently reviewed (as in last week or so) and so he wont increase for a few months now... They are currently reviewing France and Italy and then up next is England and Spain.
What are these tricks you speak of zz? I am intrigued
Oh dayum! haha
well they are a secret you gotta wait and find out! I We should concetrate on our league game first, where ill be playing the best side possible! :)
Yes so will I zz. They have an average rating of 92 8)
I think mine do too! ;) maybe 91 cant remember :P

ONE of my favourites :P. Van Buyten and Santa Cruz remain favourites of all time (well I haven't watched soccer for long :P).
Haha ok one of your favourites ;)
I like him too :)
Eden Hazard +1 to 91, team keeps getting stronger 8)
Wasn't expecting that one to be honest, but happy about it :)
2 all draw with Adelaide this morning. Was down 2 nil, but the players fought like the champions they are to salvage a draw. Stats were a little all over the place, I held more possession (59-41%), had less shots than Adelaide (24-32), but had more on target (17-15). Leaves me still 2 points behind Adelaide, with both teams still undefeated after 7 games!
Now to verse Adelaide again on Tuesday morning in the cup semi final. Hopefully my b team can show the a teamers how it is done! :)
My side has an avg starting rating of 87, should be a good game CF! ;)
Nice game also CF :)
My team also has an average starting rating of 87 :)
Lowest rating in my team is 84 and highest rating 89. 5 rate 86 or below and 6 rate 87 or above, so a nice consistent rating 8)
Good luck zz may the best team win ;)
A dominant display by the Brisbane B team has seen them run away with a 4-1 win over Adelaide United in the Cup semi final. Scoring duties were shared around with Perez, Costa, Muniain and Baines all getting a goal apiece. Suarez scored a consolation goal for Adelaide. Adelaide's trick of playing 3 first teamers and subbing them off at half time for 3 other first teamers did not pay off as they were played off the park. Brisbane held more of the ball (57-43%), had more shots (29-20) and more on target (16-7).
We now meet Melbourne Victory in the Cup final next week at Wembley after they defeated Melbourne Heart 3 nil.
Jordi Amat +1 to 85 :)
Iker Muniain +1 to 88
Mario Gaspar +1 to 87
Woo my team keeps getting better :D
Guisiepee Rossi +1 to 92
Cant remember how to spell his first name ;D
My like whole team is flowered -__-
Looking like a loss for me!
What's wrong with them zz??
Theyre all sitting on like 90% no one im playing is on 100%
Shouldn't have played them against me in the cup then :P
Mine are all on 100% :)
bought in a few players :D
still got one more i really want but need to sell a few more players first

Ive done it before never affected the players that bad... Unless i did it the other way round :-[
Very comfortable 5 nil win over the Jets this morning. 2 goals by Tevez in the first half and an 8 minute hattrick for Robinho in the second gave me the win. I held 60% of the possession had 37 shots to the Jets' 18, of those shots 15 were on target to their 14.
The better news is that Adelaide lost 3-1 to the Gold Coast so now I am the only undefeated team and am now first on the ladder ;D
Raul Albiol -1 to 91 :(
Wasn't expecting that at all!
Woo Baines got a +1 to be rated 90 now :)
Now have a 90 rated player sitting on the bench haha :D
yay walker got a +2
and spearing a +3 :D
2 nil win over Perth leaves me top of the table and still undefeated :)
Next match is against Melbourne Victory in the Cup final. Reesbr never logs in so all his players aren't match fit so hopefully my B squad can defeat his team :)
Only a 1-0 win over the Jets ::). 61%-39% possession in my favor and took 10 more shots (although every one of their shots were on target).
thats how we do it :)

You're happy about a loss??
I think a 1-nil loss for him to me is the best result he could have hoped for ;).
i like my casual 5-1 win over victory :P
WOOOOO Cup Champions Again!! ;D ;D
Beat Melbourne Victory by a very impressive scoreline of 8-1 :o
Alan Kardec scored a hattrick, whilst Costa, Guarin, Baines, Martin and Muniain all scored one apiece. 5 players in my team got a rating of 10 :)
You would think that with a scoreline like that I would have dominated the stats, and that is what I did. I had more possession (54-46%), more shots (56 to 22), and more shots on target (25 to 11). Amazing that I had more shots than I did possession 8)
So to sum up it was a great win by the Brisbane Roar B team, now I just need to back that up with winning the league to claim the double :)
Congrats CF :)
Vincent Kompany +1 to 92 :)
Thanks zz. It helps when reesbr hasn't logged in in ages so all his players had about 20% fatigue ;)
I assume he will be losing the team soon and then someone else can join. Most likely luigi :)
Nice rise zz. I haven't had any in a while. Can't believe De Gea didn't get a rise to 90 :o
Congratz on the Cup win again CF ;).
I've had quite a few risers but too lazy to list them :P. Fabio is out for a cool 7 Mil while two youngsters are on their way out to get Fabio's replacement at LB/RB 8).
Beat Sydney FC 3-2 after being 2 nil down after 24 minutes. Berbatov, Lampard and Valencia were the scorers. Leaves me still one point clear of Adelaide who also won again. Got a tough game next against HP's Gold Coast which will be a real test for my boys. Especially since Albiol and Lampard wont be playing as they have just been transferred back to Real Madrid and Chelsea respectively. The replacement for Albiol will come from inside the current squad with Baines getting promoted to the starting XI, whilst I have had to search abroad for Lampard's replacement. In the end was tossing up between 2 people and decided to go for Xavi 8)
Dang it CF, stop building up your side :P.
Haha sorry HP, but I thought that was the aim of the game :P
can you all stop and wait for me to catch up?
No can do CM :P
Congrats CF.
I just logged on then to see Oxlade-Chamberlain at Left Back lol. I need to pay more attention
3-2 loss to the Roar :(. I was gunning for the win as well ::).
Poor HP, was hoping youd win ;)
3-1 win to me though keeps the pressure on CF :)
Pressure? My boys don't know the meaning of the word :P
Close game between us HP, especially when you look at the shots and shots on target, guess my weight of possession just took its toll in the end :)
6-4 win over Melbourne Victory :)
Tevez with a hattrick, Berbatov with a brace and Robinho with 1.
3-0 win over BP's Blues puts me in a solid position at 3rd. A bit too far behind the leaders, yet infront of the rest by 2 games :P.
Possession was 60-40 in my favor but a complete shut out with the defence. 11 shots on goal to 0 from Sydney showing great form from my defenders 8).
Nice job HP :)
I just cant seem to shake zz. He is still just 1 point behind me with 6 games to go! I would agree HP that you are probably too far behind the leaders to catch up, 10 points in 6 matches would be very hard, but you seem to have third spot sewn up ;)
Haha, true :P. It'll be interesting if ZZ can manage to upset you in the last few weeks. He managed to take the title from Luigi, so wouldn't be suprised if he does the same here :P.
hoping Nilmar will get a bid soon.
My team gets stronger as the season runs in not weaker :P
Plus plenty of experienced players (Xavi, Berba, Tevez etc) to keep them fighting to the very end ;)
Quote from: Cookie Monster on June 23, 2011, 06:03:03 PM

Put him on the transfer list and a team will bid quicker...
CF, its easier to come from behind, then stay on top the whole season ;)
I haven't been top the whole season, you were top for a long time then you lost to Gold Coast 2 weeks ago and I pounced :P
True, but maybe it was a tactic to lose...? ;) :P
2-2 draw with the Victory although I should have won!!!!!!!
30' SENT OFF - A second yellow card for Hamit ALTINTOP for touching the ball before the opposition could take the free kick
36' OWN GOAL: After a melee in the box the ball bounces off Hamit ALTINTOP and ends up in the back of his own net!
How The **** Can he score an own goal if he got sent off 6 minutes earlier? FFS SM ::).
Haha that is pretty odd HP. Very unlucky by the sounds of it.
I suffered my first defeat of the season last night :o
Lost 2-1 to Phoenix, Tevez gave me the lead, but 2 goals to Sanchez in the space of 4 minutes gave ML the win. Pretty annoyed when I looked at the stats and saw that I had more possession (53-47%) more shots (21 to 18) and more shots on target (16 to 12) yet still lost >:(
Only consolation is Adelaide also lost so still first :)
Indeed it was but got dominated on possession :-\.
Stil 3rd by 6 points so looking safe for now :P.

There was a game today? :P
Thiago Silva has now joined the Roar to further enhance their defense :)
Didnt have the strongest team out, played 2 second string defenders (84, 85) and had Kompnay replaced by Mier (82) so played a fairly open defence.
But ive gotta work harder and get on top now ;)
Oh no I am in a form slump! Just lost 5-3 to North Queensland Fury! :(
Back down to second place :'(
1-1 draw with the Fury leaves me 1 point ahead of the Pheonix on the table at 3rd :(.
On a side note, discussions with Kaka are underway 8).
6-1 win 8), Playing the roar wednesday night, but going in without Alex Song and Vincent Kompany missing due to Suspension and Injury, will be a tough match and even though i do have players missing the best team (me) will come out on top ;)

Haha, just trying to get rid of some current players :P. Funny enough Carroll is involved in the deal ;D.
The Roar are back on top with 2 games to go :)
Things looked bleak when Cavani scored after just 10 minutes to give Adelaide the league. But my guys kept soldiering on and were given a lifeline when Hummels was sent off in the 56th minute, meaning that Adelaide only had 2 defenders. Berbatov then equalised in the 71st minute with a shot from 25 yards, then with 9 minutes to go Robinho connected with a cross to head home the winner, proving as I said yesterday that my forward combo of Berba, Robinho and Tevez (he got an assist) is the best :D
BEAT HP 2-0 :D
Im 3rd. :P
You're the inform team ML. 6 wins from your last 6 games ;)
Really? lol. Haven't checked for a while. :P
Lionel Messi is in talks with Melbourne Victory, with Victory very keen to bring the best player in the world to Australia.

Ronaldo will be making his debut tonight against the Jets :)
Ive got a feeling hell get an LTI...

AGGRESSIVE TACKLING FTW :P.
Brisbane Roar do the double and clinch the league title with a 4-1 win over bottom placed Newcastle Jets. Cristiano Ronaldo on debut was man of the match with 2 goals. Tevez and Robinho scored the other 2 goals. The title was claimed after Adelaide went down 4-1 to Gold Coast, leaving me 4 points clear with 1 game to go. Might play my reserve players in that game to make sure I don't get any long term injuries before the new season starts :)
Hopefully I finish the season 3rd with an 8 win streak. :)
Since the Messi -> Victory saga has fallen over Steven Gerrard has joined to give the club more experience and class.
Fabregas and Gerrard in the centre of midfield 8)
Hey, I'm looking at joining this, I have been offered three clubs to join. How do I play against where you guys are playing?
We are in a league so like a normal league. You'll play an opponent on Thursday morning and Sunday morning. You can set tactics the night before (even a couple of days before if you want). You play all the teams twice but have the look at fixtures if you want to know who and when.

Do I just choose any league, or are you all in 1 league?
I have taken ownership of Nottingham Forest. I'm in English Championship 7560
All in one :D.
In the add new club page, go down to the bottom saying which gameworld you want. Choose Australian Championship. Then type in 330 for the league we are all in.
We just tried to get everybody join another English Championship in the other thread :P. Unlucky :(.
Ok, well I've made a second club, and joined up as Sydney FC. Going to take me a while to get use to this I think.
Nice to see you joined up Fletch :)
You have taken over BP's team since he quit a while ago. This season is almost over so you will then have a week or 2 to prepare your team for the new season :)
Hey guys we are looking for people to join another soccer manager league but EPL this time
Thread is here:
http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,41005.0.html
How can you tell when a players level has increased?
You will get a notification telling you.
Players levels increase (or decrease) when the league they are playing in in real life gets reviewed
Yep. On the left hand side of the screen with all the tabs/links, there will be one which allows you to see current player/league reviews going on and those coming up. Think it's Real player Database or something with database in it :P.
Ratings based on real life performance (sometimes some are overrated/underrated) but generally ok in all. Alot of reviews don't come often but always good to keep an eye on upcoming leagues if you know cheap players in it (to make cash).
Not taking any risks with injury tonight since the championship is already sewn up. This means that Xavi, Ronaldo, Tevez and Silva wont be playing tonight to make sure they don't get a LTI :)
Still expecting to beat Perth though...
Well, I lost 6-0 last night to Adelaide... Going to take a while to get use to this.
I have received a message re someone interested in my player, how do I see what they have offered me?
Don't worry fletch Adelaide is the second best team in the comp (behind me) ;)
Fletch looking at your team no one has made an offer for your players yet.
What I would advise you do is sell your most valuable players by chucking them on the transfer list and waiting for bids. So this is van der vaart, diaby, saviola etc. This way you can then rebuild your squad the way you like :)
The new season wont start for 2 weeks (I think) so got plenty of time to build your squad and understand the game
I have a message saying that a club is interested VDV though from Melb Victory.
I also just bought Zabaleta, so I can't sell him.
Check for the top players who aren't transfer banned who are worth a bit (a couple of Millions). CF is sayign sell them off to get the cash. With the cash, buy the players you like 8).
4-1 win pushes me back up to 3rd :D. Congratz to CF for the title. You were the hot favourite ;).
Just cos a team is interested doesn't mean they will make an offer ;)
Thanks HP :) Beat Perth last night 2-1 even though I rested my 4 best players 8)
Next season I will put you right up there as a contender with Kaka and Torres, plus I assume you will be selling Ozil, which will give you over 30 mil to recruit with. Think I will have a fight on my hands next season!
good season for me after getting the spoon last season :D
Haha, yeah Ozil will be put up :P. Will see if I can bring in 2 GUNS with his sell :D.
beat adelaide 7-4 in a friendly!!!!!!
That's a goal fest :o.
Drew 2-2 with Heart but didn't set orders as it's friendlies :P.
Nice reesbr.
Just been recruiting during the off season to further improve my squad :)
Vermaelen will be replaced with Pepe once the offer is accepted, and Khedira and Valencia will be replaced with some secret guys 8)
Didn't even know I had a game on last night, therefore I didn't set any tactics...
That's alright fletch, friendlies mean nothing ;)
Quote from: CrowsFan on July 17, 2011, 12:50:03 PM

Yes mate, but i need to practice tactics...
I dont even worry bout friendlies :P
Victory has signed Falcao, Downing and Frey as they hope to contend with the top next season
Signing in a few players to help strengthen my long term stocks :-X. Not a MASSIVE improvement and still not in the league of Roar or Victory :P.
HP you have a better team than Victory
Alonso has now joined the Roar, along with Mata too :)
Quote from: CrowsFan on July 27, 2011, 02:53:02 AM
Alonso has now joined the Roar, along with Mata too :)
I wanted Alonso >:(. You just beat me to the punch :P.
Haha sorry HP. My mid 4 now consists of Mata, Alonso, Xavi and Ronaldo. Pretty good I must say 8)
Cech and Mertesacker have now also joined the Roar. Leaving my worst starting XI player as Mata at 91 8)
1-0 loss against ZZ's Adelaide to kick off the season :(.
Glory off to a cracker start with the 4-1 win :o.
Only a 1 all draw for me to start the season against Sydney FC (who has been taken over by some random).
Wayne Rooney should add some firepower for me up front, just placed a bid on him... 8)
4-3 victory over Melbourne Heart :)
Tevez with 2, and 1 each to Robinho and Ronaldo. Great news when you log in see that you have won then get the messages that Alonso and Thiago Silva are now back from suspension and can play again! Will make my team even stronger 8)
Nice 3-1 win, Rooney picking up MOTM with 1 goal and 2 asissts on his debut for United with a match rating of 10 :)
Keeping my top spot, playing Glory next game who are equal hoping to knock them off.

Had a 6-5 win over Perth this morning :o I bet the fans loved the game!!
Berbatov was the man of the match with 3 goals and 2 assists! Moves me in to equal first since Adelaide had a draw
Also just discovered that my Brisbane team now rates the same as my Barca team. Both have starting average ratings of 94 8)

:o.
3-1 win over the Fury finally broke my curse.
5-0 win over the Jets puts me in a better situation than I was in start of the season. The win is sure to lift spirits at Gold Coast especially with Roar getting even stronger with Messi joining them :P.
Roar will be unbeatable with Messi and Ronaldo now!!
Woo go Messi and Ronaldo 8)
Will prob go broke though with their wages...
Only a 2 all draw for me with Adelaide leaving me in second place
A solid 7-2 win over Wellington Phoenix this morning :D
Robinho was MOTM with 3 goals and 2 assists. The other goal scorers were Thiago Silva, Ronaldo, Messi and Alonso. This puts me top of the ladder since Adelaide lost to Fury. Fury are now second and I play them on Saturday night :)
3-1 win over Victory. 2 goals within first 7 minutes but Dzeko was red carded not long after :'(.
Big shootout with Adelaide in the Semis of the Cup. Fought a 4-3 win with ZZ's men coming from behind 2 to level it, last time was 77th minute. After which another goal followed for the victory!!!
40 shots to 19 in total in favor of my guys :o.
Nice job HP. You'll be up against Melbourne Heart in the final next week.
A chance for you to try and catch up in the number of trophies we have both won 8)
Queensland is ruling this League :P.
They had an easier 3-1 win so hoping this close win spurs my guys on to try and get a bigger margin ;D.
An easy 5 nil win over Newcastle this morning, which puts me 6 points clear of second place :)
Had a total of 44 shots at goal, that is a shot every 2 minutes :o
Only a 2-2 draw with Sydney puts me further back from the pace :(.
A simple enough 5-1 win over Melbourne Victory this morning. Goals by Berbatov (2) and Ronaldo, Robinho and substitute Balotelli.
Held 56% of possession and had 34 shots at goal, of which 16 were on target.
I think this game has become too easy for me ;) 8)
Well you do have the best 2 players in the game *Blows Raspberries.
Climbing my way back up now sitting mid table after the win :D.
The Cup final was a hard fought contest. Stankovic put Heart ahead in the first half and it was a quick burst of 2 goals in 5 minutes for Torres and Tymoschuk which allow Gold Coast to win this season's Cup 2-1 :D.
Great match though :).
Congrats HP, a well deserved champion :)
David Villa coming back to the Roar :)
But wont be playing tonight...
Easy enough 4-1 win over the only unmanaged team Sydney. Mata, Messi, Balotelli and Mertesacker were the scorers. The only downside is Thigo Silva got injured for 8 weeks!!! :(
Luckily his transfer ban ends in 4 days so I guess I will have to sell him, even though I wanted to keep him...
3-2 win over Adelaide in what was a close game! Up to second but quite some way behind you CF :-\.
Haha I think you should be happy with second place HP ;)
That's all anyone else is going to get these days 8)
Big 4-1 win with a very risky setup. Went a 3-3-4 lineup due to having alot of forwards fit!
22-16 shots wasn't great but had alot of possession and managed to convert shots better :D. Anelka for the double and MotM. Looks like I'll be stuck trying to maintain second spot ::).
Nice job HP. I had a 4-2 win over Heart, with Phil Jones and Villa scoring on debut. The other scorers were Guarin and Ronaldo. Had 31 shots to 16 with 19 on target!
Playing you next round HP so you definitely need to win that if you stand any chance of catching me ;)
A Clash of the Titans once again :P. Should be interesting to see if I can knock off the heavy favourites in Roar...
Do it then ill knock them off in three games time :)
Oh will you now zz?
At full strength my Roar team is better than my Barca team :o
My Man City squad is weaker than your Barca side yet i still won the league last season and cup the season before 8)
The best defender in the game, Nemanja Vidic has joined the Roar :D
He joins the best striker in the game (Messi), best winger (Ronaldo) and best midfielder (Xavi). My team is really starting to turn in to the Galactico's :D
Sadly he is not fit enough to play against Gold Coast tonight, but should be available for the match against Perth on Saturday :)
Accidently played Vidic cos I was checking what my team rated with him in it then forgot to save the changes once I took him out ::) And sadly he picked up an injury during the game :(
But on the bright side I beat Gold Coast 3 nil to extend my lead at the top to 9 points :) Robinho, Villa and Balotelli were the scorers
I didn't put up much of a match on the scoreboard :'(. Torres getting red carded 3 minutes in didn't help.... Am I sure it wasn't planned to get him out early? :P.
2 nil win over the unmanaged Perth. Since when did BOOMZ leave the club?? ???
Ronaldo and Messi the scorers. 10 points clear of second place with 5 games to go. Might as well give me the trophy now 8)
Argh lost my first match of the season :(
3-1 loss to my bogey team Adelaide (always seems to be zz, Adelaide here, City in the other). I lost even though I had 31 shots at goal to 18 and 12 shots on target to 5 ::)
Bout time as well CF :P. ZZ has a way of winning :-X.
5-0 win over the Jets with my midfield doing the damage. Mascherano for 2 goals and Park for 2 assists. Kaka nabbing a goal and an assist caspping off a MotM performance, with 5 players getting the 10 Match Performance ratings (1 off the bench as well :o).
Out goes Torres, Jenkinson, Anelka and Eriksen. In comes Busquets and Ibrahimovic :D.
I hate Busquets :P
I have received a 52 million dollar offer for Ronaldo. Not sure if I should take it or not...
He's good enough to help bring you down :P.
Take it ;). Then when he gets unbanned, I'll snap him up :P.
A 4-2 win of North Queensland has handed Brisbane back to back to back championships (and 4th overall) with 2 games to go ;D
I can only muster up a 1-0 win over Heart with Park coming on to score the winner late.
Congratz on the title CF. Clear winner this season. Hopefully next season will be closer :P.
Dominant 6-1 victory over the lowly Newcastle :)
Had 34 shots at goal!
In my last 7 games against Newcastle I have scored a whopping 36 goals and conceded just 5 :o :o
:o :o :o. Guess it's your team to play against :P.
3-0 Loss against Unmanaged Sydney ::).
Update during the off season is I have decided to replace Xavi with the younger Fabregas :)
No other changes to mention at the moment though.
Anyone else doing some rebuilding?
I'm doing some trading ;). Getting in some big names myself!
Damn HP you weren't kidding! You are now favourites with the bookies to bring home the league title AND cup this year!
How did you manage to get such a strong team including the bench? None of them have a rating under 90!! :o

My depth is rubbish cos I had to sell it all to pick up Ronaldo and Messi.

Damn HP you weren't kidding! You are now favourites with the bookies to bring home the league title AND cup this year!
How did you manage to get such a strong team including the bench? None of them have a rating under 90!! :o
Seeing as you have the two best players in the game, think you are still favourite ;D.
Trading smart :P. Traded out some young guns and fill ins for the big names. Hoping to land another big name soon (Sergio Aguero 8)). Hopefully can challenge you up the top :P. Depth is a little :-\ though.
Was actually going to be picking up Aguero myself later this afternoon :P
My depth is rubbish cos I had to sell it all to pick up Ronaldo and Messi.
Haha :P. It was either Aguero or Robben so yeah.....
My depth is now shot for the next few weeks and I need to fiddle with new formations to suit the lineup.
HP just letting you know I will be using a b squad for tonights charity shield match since I don't want to tire out the better players ahead of the new season :)
Shouldn't make much difference for you cos your b squad should smash mine ;)

Well you stole Aguero off me *Blows Raspberries. NOW FEEL MY WRATH!!!! If my team doesn't choke that is :P.
Going for Broke here trading off Munoz, Rodrigues, Coentrao and Borriello for 2 High Profile Players 8). In coming is Robben and Puyol 8).
Haha sorry HP, but I really wanted Aguero, even though he plays for Man City he is one of my favourite players (I have an Atletico shirt with his name on the back) ;)
Why don't you just get Higuain instead? Same age and rating :P
Running out of money and stupidly sold Alonso to get the cash for Kun. Now only have a bit over 10 mil to get another CM. Have to take Toure as the only one I can afford :-\
Not surprisingly I lost to HP in the charity shield this morning. What was surprising was the score considering his starting squad had an average rating of 94, whereas mine was only 82. Amazingly I only lost 4-3 so almost causing an upset! Think I can thank Cech for keeping the score to just 4 considering HP had 41 shots at goal, with 25 of them hitting the target!
Congrats on the win HP ;)
In other news I am quite excited to see what my forward line will produce this season. A front 3 of Mess, Villa and Aguero, needless to say I am expecting goals 8)

Haha, serves you right for doing that :P. I'll jump on Xabi in good time, one of my Favs :-*.
Suprised myself! 500k in prizemoney :P. SO many shots though was a shocker :o. Ibra and Dzeko are my best forwards which is why I need to recruit Robben so I can have him and Van Persie play there as well. Your front 3 will dominate mine, but wait until you see my new look defence 8). Lahm, Chiellini, Ferdinand and Puyol soon enough 8). Not to mention Casillias between the sticks for me :D.

Dominant 6-1 victory over the lowly Newcastle :)
Had 34 shots at goal!
In my last 7 games against Newcastle I have scored a whopping 36 goals and conceded just 5 :o :o
Well I continued my domination over Newcastle this morning. This time winning 7-1 even though I rested Villa, Ronaldo, Fabregas, Vidic and Mata :D
On fire CF :o.
Simple 3-1 win over Victory. Considering they were leading in possessions and there was only like 10-13 shots fired in the entire game, I think my team got lucky for the win. They'll be getting a whipping at training for not getting off more shots >:(.
A tight 4-3 win over Victory this morning, Balotelli coming off the bench to score twice :)
Also I "accidentally" injured both Abidal and Albiol of Victory...
5-0 win over Perth despite falling asleep before setting tactics. Comfy +11 GD early in the season on top, just need to keep it up :-X.
A 2-2 draw with Adelaide in a close game. Only thing apart was his 2 shots on target to my 9 ::).
I had a 1 all draw in a tight game against Wellington. Probably would have won if Messi didn't get sent off in the 20th minute :(
A nice 7 nil loss to Gold Coast in the quarter final of the Cup. Playing my B team whereas HP was playing a mixture of both I think. Only positive from the game was I injured David Silva for 13 days so he wont be playing against me in 11 days time :D Sorry HP :P

Haha, always try to take in the fit players so was a bit of both :P. Good game? :P.
Just because Silva scored 4 goals against you, your players HAD to injure him? >:(. Also, Van Persie landed a hattrick as well as 2 assists for MotM honours.
Might also mention the match was "Closer" than the scoreboard suggests. Roar won out possession 53-47. They took 25 shots including 13 shots on target (which GC beat 8)), but just couldn't convert!
The Roar are back on top ;D
Only a 2-1 victory over Melbourne Heart, but Adelaide had a draw, which puts us level on points, but me ahead on goal difference. After the game on Saturday I will have 2 very tough games against Adelaide and then Gold Coast!
Well exams got in the way for me last night, forgetting to set up lineups for 3 of my 4 teams (Other is tonight)!!!
Luckily managed a 1-0 win over Pheonix leaving me only 1 point behind CF and ZZ 8).
6-2 win over Perth this morning. Messi came on at half time and scored a hattrick :)
7 players finished with a rating of 10 8)
I have a tough week coming up though, first I play against Gold Coast and then Adelaide. If I can win both then I will be clear out in front :)
Nice game by you CF :o.
I haven't been able to set my teams for like the past 3 gameweeks ::). 2-1 win over the Heart though. But I've gone into debt :-X.
EDIT: Just noticed both my goals from Ibra were penalties :o. First time I've had more than 1 penalty in a game!
Might have to sell off some of those players HP before we play ;)

Selling off a benchie for 5 Mil. That should do for a while :P.
Most my guys are fatigued :-/
Playing avery weak B side against HP in the cup

Same as fatigue is also a problem for me I'm assuming.
First time I've set tactics in like 2 weeks and ended with a 1-1 draw with the Roar. They dominated possession yet Gold Coast was able to get more shots on target.
Might mention in my other two teams that played tonight, resounding 4 nil wins were handed out in both 8).
Bloody Aguero and Mata both got red cards and are now suspended for 3 games each!! >:(
Good game HP, luckily Adelaide also drew so neither of us fell further behind :)
Looks to be quite a tight race this season with us three..... and then the rest :P. We have had 2 managers join up recently (not FF) but think Hilly left? Can't remember but somebody left in one of the FF Leagues.
I noticed Fatigue was a killer in some of my teams, others suprisingly not :o.
4 nil win over Adelaide to go 3 points clear at the top :)
Wasn't as comfortable as it looked with 3 of my goals coming in the last 15 minutes...
But there was bad news as well, with Toure getting injured for 6 weeks meaning he will miss the remainder of the season and I can't sell him since I recently bought him, plus I am about to go broke :(
I reckon you two (HP and ZZ) will be able to catch me when I go to Nepal now... :-\
A few days late but I'm glad to mention that Gold Coast are the Season 6 Australian Championship Cup Winners!
In a very lopsided display, Gold Coast dismantled the Heart 4-1. Not to say the Heart didn't have their chances (18 shots including 14 on target) but Casillas had a cracking game only beaten out by Ibrahimovic for Man Of The Match.
Gold Coast receive $2,000,000 in prizemoney which is much needed after mid season struggle for cash.
I'm in serious need for cash, Ronaldo and the others are very greedy with the wages and no one seems to want and come watch them play :(
Down to just 1 mil... :-\
I was in the negatives not too long ago!!! I had to seel Tymoschuk to make a quite few Mil. Wages are a killer to make a Monster team in this league!
Just noticed that there is a massive game tonight.
With just 1 game left for the season Brisbane host Adelaide with the winner claiming the league title. Adelaide is on top currently with 42 points, 2 points ahead of Brisbane on 40. Brisbane must go all out to get the win as Adelaide only need a draw to claim the title
i reclaimed fury but its in a flowered up state lol
Better use your great managerial skills to fix it then ;)

How much are you in debt?
not much lol only 200k but i cant sell players
Well zz won the league after defeating me 2-1.
The team chose a great time to choke losing the last 2 matches of the season (their only losses for the season) ::)

Just had to sell Barry for some cash. I'll give you say 2 Mil and maybe 1-2 70 rated players. I say stock up with about 5-10 70 rated players so you can sell off your other ones for cash if needed.
Been doing a bit of squad changing this preseason. Mainly because I was in debt so had to sell off some players ;)
Sold Cech, Villa and Guarin for the cash and brought in Hart and Benzema. Also bringing in Sturridge and Smalling to add some depth to the bench :)
Hey lads, is there any spare teams that I could manage?
