i think you need quality wingers and full backs....also an extra striker as bent jones and campbell are underrated....

i would recommend

di maria
jovetic if you can afford
alan hutton

mattock
beevers these 2 for the future and in your budget...



i havent got hte game yet....and werent sure who to be when it comes...but helping you has inspired me to be sunderland


try an sell squad players as their are a number off them....such as nosworthy

I don't understand how Bent's stats are so shit. He's the 2nd top scorer in the league or something.

huh yopus all say bent is crap why? because he has 13 finshing that rises to 15 with the right training? do yous actually look at any other stats? hes fast as hell and very dertimind player, he scored 7 in 12 for me and thats gd for a team like suderland.

anyway i bought fillipe from depor for left back, riquelme to be the playmaker and angel di maria as my super prospect that am going to make millions off.i also got dos santos on loan for a year for back up right wing.

gk.gordon
rb.nosworthy
lb.fillipe
cb.mensah
cb.turner(hes really gd by the way)
rm.malbranque
lm.di maria
cm.cattermole(i made him the captain)
cm.riquelme
st.bent
st.jones

currently mid table, beat liverpool and man utd at home but in truth i didnt deserve to, been demolished away from home a couple of times since i like to play like brazil, but it pays off at home hehe.

Started with sunderland and signed pandev beckham belleti shorey and haestad currently 3rd after 3 wins and 1 defeat in the league michael turner is quality

Looking to start a Sunderland game to pass the time when I am not busy, could you tell me how much you signed your players for?

Sunderland was the first game I started and bought quite a few players and completely revamped the team...even beat arsenal 3-0 first game of the season!!

Bought
Van Der Vaart £8m
Ronaldo £1.7m (it was him or nistelrooy...)
Di Maria £2.6m
Annan £2.5m
Ansaldi £3m
Krivets £800k
Beckham £500k
Reginissen (sp) £300k
Koke £0
Keko £0
Andraje £0

Still got about £2m (I think) to spend

Sold
Nosworthy £2m
Ferdinand Loan £700k (£3.5m future)
Reid £4.3m (he is far too slow)
Jones loan £800k (£4.5m future fee)

Anyone else noticed that when you try to sell players you only get loan offers...pretty annoying when your trying to get some more money

Reid is a good player despite his lack of pace.

Beckham does a good job too for under 500k.

I also got that striker from AC Milan, forgot his name beginning with B .. grr cant think of his name, but he done great.

I got rid of the Nosworth and Bardsly and got in Degan as back up rb and Hutton as main rb.

Just got the game this instant through the mail

waiting for it to install

starting as Sunderland obviously....

any recommendations..

im planning on buying..

rb - hutton
lb - mattock
cb - beevers
am - di maria
am - dos santos - loan


also i have a question.....should i sell reid?

cos i think technically he's amazing but im planning on playing cattermole and cana?

Keep Reid, for me he out performed Richardson. Set his instructions similar to if you played beckham on the wing and he should do well.

I wouldn't loan Dos Santos he's more championship standard

same with Mattock. not sure about beevers.

Beckham is a must buy to be honest, 500k a steal.


You can get Van der vaart and will do great at sunderland, Van nistelrooy will do a good job too if done right and is only about 1.4 mill.

I think you can get Guti too if needs be and can do a solid job as a sub at least.

I also got that striker from AC Milan, forgot his name beginning with B .. grr cant think of his name, but he done great.

I think your on about Boriello. I got him on loan on the demo but Milan don't seem to want to sell him on the full game! Shame, as he was brilliant for me on the demo!

Reid is good but my preference is speedy wingers so I sold him for a fair bit of money and used it to bring in others! Bebating whether to richardson or malbranque... and bring in a right winger

Yep that's him. he has a beats on the demo, getting the full game next week.

if you can only get him on a loan on that it'll still be good, get a season out of him for free (or cheap)

I like Reid as he adds something different to the left wing, if a speedy winger isn't effective against a certain team then bringing Reid on with his style of play may work a lot better

I tried signing him on the full game but he isn't on the transfer list and Milan want far too much him!

How much do they want for him? like 12 Mill?

I'm sure there's another striker who is available who is just as good and a lot cheaper.

started first game with sunderland today
got very excited with the transfers so team chemistry is gonna b shocking!!!
nevertheless... some astute signings have been made =]
sebastian viera GK- free (better than gordon in my opinion)
angel di maria LM- 5 mill so much better than reid and richardson who i both sold
Jose Angel LB- 7 mill solid and young with low wages
Stephen Appiah and Jorge Andrade - both freebies and beef up the squad
Belletti RB - 850k - great player, best so far
Beckham RM 550k awesome signing my captain and chips in with goals and assists
Van Nistelrooy- str - 1.5mill - wanted ronaldo but he went to birmingham... looking forward to beckham partnering him for the third time
Chevanton str- 2.4mill spur of the moment signing saw him and has pretty decent stats

as you can see... lots of players its gonna take time to gel... but i recommend checking out that keeper... truly outstanding
