    Ok I'm just going to put this out here. At the moment my Udinese squad is unarguably very good, especially for a Division 3 team, and to be honest I see teams in Division 2 where I think that on paper my team has an advantage over yet I cannot keep this team consistent. I briefly considered applying for the Shakhtar job as they are 2nd in Division 2 (and i'm not going to get their any time soon with my form!) but I honestly think my team is better on paper, albeit a few of my players could drop in the next year or so.

    I have to say all these managers with lesser rated squads should be commended for doing so well because I just can't get my team going! Beat one of the title favourites PSV 5-1 and then get destroyed 5-0 a few games later! Eto'o was banging in goals for every other team he was with and he's doing feck all for me.

    Someone help!!! Here since April I think but still consider myself as a bit of a newbie regarding tactics and so on. I think that if any half decent manager took over my team, they'd blitz the league and do well in division 2 also. It's just so frustrating :mad:




    RANT OVER

    Don't over complicate tactics bud be my advice

    Looks like the Italian review has begun with Parma....

    I'd still expect some late risers from France though, usually 1-2 they rise a few days into moving on to a new league....

    The Roma review could make or break my season more than any other club!

    Ger Power was unable to prevent a Manchester City defeat to Arsenal.
    Manchester City slumped to a 2 - 0 defeat to Arsenal in their Division 1 fixture.

    Fair play to Arsenal but when you are losing to a side with Pires and and Ljungberg its a joke.

    Game engine is a disgrace.

    Real Madrid outclassed AC Milan and beat them 3 - 2 in their Division 1 fixture.
    Fàbregas scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.
    Robben was also on the scoresheet for his side.

    Been a sloppy first ten games but happy enough to not be too far off the top.

    Had a mix of youth and squad players out in the cup on Tuesday.
    Brought my entire first choice team back in for tonights game against Bremen, click in and look at both teams player list before finding out the result only to discover my team is the exact same as the cup team, I only bloody forgot to hit the "confirm match day squad" button :mad:
    Had a message that a new club record has been set so now I'm dreading a new club record defeat since there is a difference of 47 points in the starting XIs.
    Instead I find that we scored late on for a 1 all draw and are now 9 games unbeaten :)

    The anger at my novice mistake is balanced out by it not being too costly.
    Full 100% team for sunday now where I bet my unbeaten run comes to an end :)

    I like the way I skilfully loaned in Paul-Georges Ntep when he was 85 knowing damn well he'd get at least a +2, and guess what?


    He got a +2! :D:D I know he's only on loan but still!

    Top half of Division 1 with my Everton team after beating Man Utd, through to the second round of both Cups and in Europe as well, going along nicely so far this season!

    It's a nice feeling. I got kurzawa as an 86, now he's one of my top defenders at 88. I'm hoping he'll not want to leave and the napoli manager will allow him stay permanently :p

    Here,.... Thiago asked me to tell ya to stop ringing him ... He's happy in Portugal, he's not into these swingers parties you keep inviting him to and the sight of you wearing nothing but a christmas stocking ( the small ones it has to be said) in the last set of 'Come play for me' pictures is haunting him in his sleep




    :D

    So..... Longer term managers will NO LONGER be able to compete for top free agents? Way to reward those putting the effort into the game SM....

    Agree with most on that list (like Swoody said though, don't hold your breath!) But that is just ridiculous. Singling out the long term managers is wrong and not the way to deal with the free agents IMO

    If a player has a concern their rating drops. For example a 92 rated player on a Level 1 concern will drop to 90. If their concern then goes to Level 2 then the rating will then be 88 etc.


    Now this I do like!!!!! That combined with the rate of concern levels increasing should see far less 90s on benches!!

    I don't think so. In theory it's good but I've had 91s on the bench for quite a while and have kept them happy.

    If concerns grow quicker then it may work.

    Good idea if implemented properly, IMO

    Ok I've assessed my Milan squad. It is ok. I need a stop-gap striker for tomorrow though. 88/89. Happy to consider a reasonable swap if someone can move quickly or have a few quid left after the computer manager signed a dozen players last week.
