We could do with a list of who is in charge of which club.

I'm Stoke.
First page. Also it would be very easy to cheat on this game with 2 accounts or switching clubs. Something to be aware of.

I'm trying the 3-2-2-2-1 formation tonight. It gives me good flexibility defence wise, as CBs and R/LBs can play them roles for me no probs. I'll have Tiote tracking back to cover the back 3 aswell from his CM position. An attacking strategy again but changed my pre-match instructions a shit load too. Front 3 of Ba, Keirrison and Cisse tonight too.

I have one more deal that might come through, I'm taking advantage of the p/x easy peasy transfers and offering 2 of my players for 1 midfielder. After that then my squad is looking small.

Nice, getting defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa from Montepellier. 22 year old 88 rated CB/RB. another good prospect for me. Back 3 of Mbiwa-Sahko-Martinez. Can bring in Santon then and have Martinez in midfield if needed too. Fairly flexible if my bid for a CM doesnt work out.

Atleast my Chairman only expects me to finish top 10 this season. Think with all the players being snapped up it will be a season of change for sure :D

Essien for sure. He is only back from injury and hasnt being at that level for a long time. It is the same for alot of players in this. For instance I have Ryan Taylor rated at 86, and he is having a terrible season bar his set pieces. And Mata rated lower than Fat Frank?? :lol:

Any other team available? Tried to apply for both of Wigan and Swansea, but both were taken :(
That's a bug, people get the message the club has been taken, but I can still see your application.

I see an application to Swansea, pm me your username just to confirm it's you and I'll accept it.

This game is really unrealistic
The AI is supposed to be a bit stupid, so that the best players in the world end up in the league we're playing. When they're all in England we can no longer get these silly deals and we'll have to make more realistic deals amongst us.

Bosingwa 91
Malouda 91

How do you find that out?
your very first news item where it says "Mr X has taken over at Club Y"

In club overview you scroll down to the news section about only your club. Goto the very bottom news story (i.e first one). you click on it and it expands the story to say "The Chairman has stated he expects the team to finish in the top half this season". If you have done alot of transfer dealings then the story might be gone.

Cheers.

Why on earth is Trionz managing a division 4 side?
Division 5. It's always fun to start with a team from scratch and with the loans he will get from us he'll probably win it easily.

Cool I got a 17 year old 80 rated South American LM. Another young one who should be a great prospect, only 2.2mil too so a relative bargain.

I'm hoping that once I have a semi-decent first XI I'll be able to then afford youngsters next season. I dont want to be getting relegated or anything this time though. 12+ are the European places?
