tomav84 Posted November 7, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2010 Just started a game with Villa. Struggling to off-load any of my players, can't shift Heskey or Davies. I've signed Anthony Annan, Oscar Cardoza and a young left back whose name I can't remember now. Got Cardoza for 10m and Annan for 2.8m, had to readjust my budgets just afford Annan's 28k a week wages, thank's to O'Neill dishing out mega money to any he fancied! Might try and shift Beye to clear some wages, to see if anybody is interested. having the same prob...can buy one player but cant shift any others. the likes of nrc have contracts running out and i cant even afford to renew them. 6th after 15 games so not bad so far...lucas barrios was a good find for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Wait till Jan, you might be able to get rid then. I shifted Carew for 0m just because I could then use his wage to improve my squad. Also got rid of a few players in P/X deals. p3te, did you look at the Telford striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Just installed this and i have a problem whenever i play as Villa on these game i struggle or get really fed up when i get on a bad run of form, so i thought i would ask you kind gentlemen for idea's. Ideally i am looking for a challenge outside of the top divisions in the league but not sure who to start with idea's? Start unemployed with a low reputation and see what jobs you get offered. I also found myself a bit too emotionally attached to my beloved Villa which meant I sort of lost spirit during bad times. It is easier working with a shit lower league team and make them half decent for their level. Might try this now. As the OP said I'm kind of in the same boat and the whole wage thing was pissing me off not being able to sell some of the deadwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Epic Fail at Blackpool Hmmmmm, might have to start at someone in Championship, maybe Swansea. I always fail first couple saves. Damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 easy enough to sign players but hard to get them to gel. Villa defence is consistently poor in game. Changing to 3-5-2 now Have signed Annan Park Lukaku(a beast so far until his injury after 2 league games) Kadlec Roberto Carlos also reduced wages by negotiating bigger contract players to lesser wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexes is quite good for about 7 million. Dunne is 3.5 stars in my game and better than other defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastleBromVilla Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Can anyone recommend any good defenders for the game? im selling the lot of mine but keeping Collins.. back 4 is poor on mine, so any suggestions are welcome. Kamil Zayatte at Hull, available for about 2.5-3m, signed him in my current game for Villa. He's my best centre half, play himself alongside Dunne, with Cuellar and Collins as backup. Signed Mbark Boussoufa who we were rumoured to have been after under O'Neill, plays on the left, quite a good player. Petrov seems to struggle to last a full 90 minutes, always knackered! Delfounso is ace aswell. Banging them in, Chelsea come knocking and he wants a move. List him and stick him in the reserves, and the interest dries up. Luckily he's decided to stay, but now he's out for 4-5 months injured. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I know I have done wrong, made an illegal error, should not have an opinion but I have 'graded' Bannan higher. (just positions, work rate and changed a few hidden stats) he now starts games 145+ for PA instead of 110+ (tested 4 times) I know, naughty me, bad boy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Petrov can't last 90 minutes and makes silly mistakes like misplacing passes once his tired, takes him forever to get 100% fitness again too, i will sell him come january and replace him. Will try those players that you have all named. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Just something I was curious about - when you decide squad numbers at the start of season some players request a specific number - do they get shitty with you if you don't give them the number they request?
