Tell us about your current game

Well since FM09 is now out, the size of this community is going to fall. I thought a nice little thread would be a good community builder.

So who is your current game?

I need to start a new one, I think I might be Sheffield United. I have been them before a few times and had mixed success but it has always been fun. I am ready for it this time to try and go the futhest I have gone by getting promoted and trying to build a solid base, although I have always struggled when getting promoted to the Premiership this is a challenge I am now up for after a few weeks without FM. Wish me luck!!

re: Tell us about your current game

Sheff Utd is a good game. I'm currently playing as them in 2012(joined in 2010) and going for promotion. Billy Sharp is a goal machine. Scored 200 goals in about 300 matches. If you do start as them, bring in Danny Swanson for one of the Dundee clubs, can't remember which. Seriously good play maker for the championship.

re: Tell us about your current game

I've got a few games going but the one I'm playing most is Aston Villa.

I've got a fantastic squad. In the first season I came 2nd in the league even though I was top for quite a bit of the season. I also ended the season trophy less but I got Champions League football. This meant I was able to attract some really good players and I bought some really good players eg. Babel, Van Buyten, Ustari and some others. In my 2nd season, I'm 2nd in the league with 7 games to go and 7 points behind Man Utd. I got knocked out of Champions League in last 16 by Barcelona. Lost 4-2 on agg but I did beat them 2-1 at home. Anyways, I won League Cup after beating West Ham 3-1 in the final. I'm also in the semi-finals of FA Cup where I've got to play Tottenham. I reckon I can win FA Cup but I think Man Utd and Arsenal are in the other semi-final. I've won one trophy so I don't mind.

I've also already got my targets for summer window and some of the players include Veloso, Fabiano and Insua.

re: Tell us about your current game

Spurs 2010, 4th season just the one game in

First season:
Birmingham - 11th (Qualified for uefa cup through fair play draw!)

Second season:
Birmingham - 15th (dreadful season)

Third season:
Spurs - 5th (i took over newly promoted spurs, they were just down for the one season and had most of the best players) also reached fa cup semi

Fourth season:
Spurs - Played one game, away to bolton and lost 1-0 lateish on

The basis of my success with spurs was my away form, playing the beat chelsea tactic

GK - Robinson

DR - ?? (Name begins with 'U' and is from czech)
DL - Taiwo
DC - King
DC - Collocinni

DMC - Huddlestone

AMR - Farfan
AML - Petrov
MC - M.Johnson
MC - Jenas/Bostock/Carvalho (undecided for this season)

ST - Defoe

Subs:
Keane (super sub, starts at home)
Berba
Thierry Henry (on loan)
Lennon
Jenas/Bostock/Carvalho
Gunter
Kaboul
Woodgate

One of my highlights is bringing up Bostock, got him on a free for birmingham from palace at the age of 15, he got the odd cup game (making his debut at 15 i think..) and a few sub apperances in the prem, in his 2 seasons at blues

Then i took him to spurs when i first took over, it cost me 5m for a 17 year old, there were questions but his looked great off the bench and when his started, he rips the lower sides to shreads, also scored a 91st minute winner against chelski!!!
Passing - 18
Tecnique - 17
Creativity - 18
(i may have got some 17/18 in the wrong categorie)

re: Tell us about your current game

I've got a few games goin at the moment...

Bayern (currently loaded)...In December '08...Did the treble in the first season, currently second in the league (4 points behind Werder Bremen), qualified for the first knockout stage of the champions league and still alive in all comps

Ajax...In January 2010...Won the Eredivisie both seasons (with relative ease) and did the double last season. Playing Valencia in the first knockout stage of the UCL and still alive in comps...On top of the league and ahead of second place by about 7 points if i remember correctly.

Atletico - Probably the most funi've ever had with a game...In December 2010 and built Atletico into one of the best clubs in the world...We're also the fourth richest in the world which is pretty good considering the finances you start with. I've won Europe every season (1 UEFA cup and 2 champions leagues) and did the league and champions league double in the 09/10 season. My goal this season is to win every cup (including the minor ones) and so far I'm on track to do so. Can't remember my exact league position, but I think I'm second, about 5 points behind R.Madrid.

I've been alternating between these three games for the last few months.

re: Tell us about your current game


On my current game i am playing as juventus, trying to get them back to being the dominant force of italian football.

Thought i had acheived this after winning the league in the first season, but have struggled to recapture the form of the team in the 2nd and 3rd season.

09/10 season and currently 5th, sitting 12 points behind leaders ac milan. There is 15 odd games left and my aim is to take 3rd spot, which i am only 3 points away from.
I am also battling it out in the uefa cup and i am hoping to be succesful in that, although it will be a hard task..

My squad is fairly strong, and relatively young. But i think we lack a little bit of experience at times, but i do believe i am on track to taking juve back to the top.

Just started a game as PSG, have borught in Arshavin, Spiranovic, Venegoor of Hesselink, Briand, and am trying to sign Witsel. Drew my first game 1-1 with Toulouse where Witsel was a stand-out for them, so now i'm after it.

re: Tell us about your current game

Well I've just started a game as Arsenal. I'm going to try and spend as little as possible, but on great players. I feel it will be a good challenge instead of going out and blasting it all. I will play most of the quality upcoming youngsters the most I can and I will bring in a fair few youngsters in in the process. I really think I can make a world beating team with youngsters.

In this thread are we allowed to do updates on how our games are going?

re: Tell us about your current game

Was TNS to start with and got into the champions League group stage 3rd season...

Left them for Peterborough United who were in BSP got them promoted to League 2 without any real competition... Left them halfway through the next season for a struggling Yeovil Town and got them within 2 points of the playoffs from being 17th at the end of November...

After this i left and was unemployed for a few months just letting the game take care of it's self and then got approached by Sheffield United in the 6th season who are struggling to get off the bottom of the Championship with a squad average age of 30
