Delphouneso Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 got my Bradford City team promoted to League 1, so i spent ages creating a new defensive/counter tactic to try and cope with being a newly promoted team, seems to be working quite well so far in pre-season: been given a transfer budget of £110,000 and an increased wage budget of £35,000, and the board has finally allowed me to increase the number of coaches allowed. was able to get Nathan Baker back on loan, but Andy Weimann chose to go on loan elsewhere which is slightly frustrating seen as Weimann enjoyed his loan move last season so much he now has Bradford listed as his favoured club. the patch couldn't come sooner for me, getting tired of seeing £10-30m players being offered out for free because they're unhapy.

choffer Posted December 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2010 Any gems I need to look out for? ............and possibly RVN for a bit of poaching up front. Vaclav Kadlec - legend! RVN has played well for me too. The difficulty is that Gabby is a monster in the first season so fitting all three into a balanced side is tough. One thing I never understand though, looking at all the posts in here, is how you all can manage to get so quickly through 4 or 5 seasons. I've been playing for about a month and am still not even past Christmas yet. (Admittedly I only play 7 or 10 hours a week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll echo Kadlec - quality cheap purchase Also get Dodo in from Corinthians - a young LB, costing £1.5m and tremendous value!!! Also bought Jorge Pulido from Atletico Madrid for around £500k - 19yr old CB - tremendous value too On loan, I got Terence Makengo (ST) and in his last year of contract (so will try and snap him up on a free) and Dennis Appiah (DR/C) with a fee of £2.3m agreed - he's been great back-up for Luke Young!

dudevillaisnice Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Koke is fantastic in this game - 18 years old (£8m), Makambu is a good striker (can get relatively cheap too) bangs them in my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncy_chris Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 God this game is frustrating at times. Anyone else finding Agbonlahor to be a real waster of great chances? He seems to do the hard bit and make space and then slices his shots wide even if it just requires a simple slotted finish. Anyway, I'm doing okay first season. Decided to block transfers in the first window - see how I'd do in the same situation as GH. Funnily enough, quite a similar injury crisis hit me in November. Got to January in mid table, and proceeded to spunk most of my £35m budget on M'Vila and Dzeko. The latter has been an absolute wizard since he signed. I'm 7th at the end of February, but optimistic about finishing top 6 with Dzeko banging in the goals. Everton are joint top of the league (pretty unrealistic!) and have only lost twice all season!

kurtsimonw Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Quite surprised at how much money you get with Villa, £23m I think I started with (though I scaled it down to £17m for more wages). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
