Official Summer Signings / Rumours / Information Thread

What is really unlucky is playing Fifa and updating as per #417 above, fetching the three and five years old from school and the being relegated to the PC because they want to watch cartoons

 

Somehow managed to batter Man City 4-0

Puts me in fourth, two points clear of Newcastle in fifth and Arsenal in sixth, Man City are now seventh and a further point behind. Two game to go!

 

Last night played our CL quarter final vs Juve.
Lost the first leg 2-3 at Anfield, having been 2-1 up in the 80th min.
Then beat them 4-2 at their place, Aguero sealing victory with stunner from 30 yards past Buffon.
Hat trick goal as well, was epic. Barca next... Eek

 

Drew 0-0 with Chelsea


This is the table going into the last game...

Newcastle have 65 G/D but 35 points?

 

No idea what you're talking about


Well, that pretty rubbish! Was in injury time in the last game and was time wasting to hold on to my slim lead. From the score updates, I knew both Arsenal and Man City were losing and I was obviously playing Newcastle meaning if every stayed as it was, I got fourth place. IT BLOODY FROZE!!!!

Edit: reloaded it but thought, I try a simulation since I'd got fourth anyway and couldn't be arsed with repeating the game. I got a 1-1 draw but Arsenal and Man City lost again so all is good

 

Nice. Is that your first season in the prem with Aldershot?
Beat barca 5-3 (4-2...1-1) and have bayern in the final, top of the league on GD and got spurs in the fa cup final. Could be an awesome season.

 

Yes first season but the team was very good. I've swapped a lot of players again now and only have a couple of faceless players left. Board gave me £22m and £120k pw Sold Isco for £23m along with half a dozen £5m+ youngsters. Ended up with £95m and nearly £300k pw to redevelop the squad. Got Martin Kelly, an Italian defender rated at 87, Walcott, Immobile, Sterling, Pogba and Willens. I am now a five star team (bench average is about 78-80 got a few 70+ reserves too), currently third in league after ten games, three points off Arsenal who are top. Currently topping my CL groups by three points too

Managed to qualify for the World Cup with Chile. I was fifth with two games to but was playing sixth (Peru) next, battered them 6-1 which guaranteed qualification. Simulated the last game against Uruguary as a result (drew 2-2). Because Chilse have no defenders, I set one of my scouts to 'Chile' and 'Defensive Minded' in the hope of developing a couple

 

Finally got my Fifa back!

Considering what Dev said about International management I took the Belguim job, they got a cracking squad!

Also, whoever gave the Adryan tip.. Good shout sir

In the EPL with Gillingham now and I have 6 players in the starting 11 who I've had from 18-20 year olds in the lower decisions. Their names don't sound fancy enough though..

Hoping I can follow Aldershot Towns footsteps and qualify for the CL

 

This is key to your success. After having him for a season you will be able to get about £25m for him. Sell him and buy two or three similar quality youngsters and repeat

Big tip: once you start getting up the leagues you will find your board do not give you anymore money than you was getting in the lower leagues. To get this to increase you need to be paying more out in wages. When you sell someone for a large amount, commit a chunk of that income to increasing existing player wages

 

Cheers for the tip Time for some of my players to fill their boots!

 

Or win things

 

That helps too Unfortunately, you need the players to give you are chance of winning (unless you put the level down )

 

Been considering it but, I might buy a takeover for my club.. It could happen in real life so technically it's realistic

I wanna try to keep Adryan, I know he'll have a big price but he's one of the better players to have in your team, accurate passing and shooting he slots in lavvly

 

You have to buy takeovers...? The reason I took over Aldershot and went through the leagues was in the hope I'd get taken over

 

I'm not sure if you can get taken over naturally, but you can buy take overs. It costs 1500 coins and you need to be level 13 (I think). All you need is an xbox live account and be online on your account while playing Fifa to earn points while you play.

 

You may as well typed "blah blah blah" there as most of that means nothing to me, I don't play online

 

You don't have to actually play online, just have your account signed in to Xbox live while you play Fifa, so basically if you're signed up to Xbox live. Basically as you play Fifa you get achievments which earn points.

You can buy tons of things, stat boosts for your pro, kits, shoes, balls (Luv) etc.

 

I'll rephrase it, I can't go online Yes, I obviously have internet but I'm a 'cheapskate' and I don't mean buying the 'live' cards things either Here's a clue, my games cost £3 each

I've noticed the classic kits, wouldn't mind them.

 

You might be able to sign up to a silver account (which is free) and get the same perks Don't hold me to it though!
