I started off with Manchester United and am in the second season. I got promoted in the very first season and finished top of the table. I won the D2 cup as well.

I started off as the normal Manchester United which are also superb but have a lot of old people. I like to have a young team who are on the road of producing. So as I got to the mid negotiation period of the second season, i brought in a lot of talent to the club.

This is my current team and formation:

-------------Ramon(Aged:17)------------------

-Walton(18)-Vidic(27)-Kompany(23)-Amoros(24)-

---------------Lucas(20)---------------------

---Anderson(22)---------------Nani(23)-------

---------------C.Ronaldo(23)-----------------

-------Tevez(24)------Rooney(23)-------------

The rest of my squad is:
Foster(Aged:25)
Garay(Aged:23)
Vanden Borre(Aged:21)
Soler(Aged:17)
Bale(Aged:23)
Pique(Aged:23)
Fabio.c(Aged:23)
Hamsik(Aged:23)
Lennon(Aged:22)
Alexsandre Pato(Aged:19)
Obinna(Aged:23)
Schwarz(Aged:18)
Chapi(Aged:17)
Hunt(Aged:23)
Radamel Garcia(Aged:23)

I remembered the whole squad off the back of my head so the ages may not be accurate and there might be a few more players. I will update this soon, along with the stats.

I would definatly recommend Schwarz as his salary thing is worth around 1040 and Walton is worth around 1140. I got them on a salary of 500.

I am looking to buy Micah Richards who is worth 1105 and a player called Aguero who is worth 1550.

If you lot didnt know, when you get to the mid-negotiation period, that is when there are the new players that come in who are 17 years old.

I'm pompy at the moment, first season, working very well.
I edited Jermaine Defoe and Milan Baros into the team as they are there in real life.

I use a 3-5-2 formation with wing backs, one defensive player, and two attacking players.

This is my preferred team:

GK - Jamo

CB - Distain
CB - Big Sol
CB - Herman, be assed spelling his second name

DMF - Bouba Diop

RWB - Lauren
LWB - Matty Taylor

ARM - Muntari
ALM - Utaka

SS - Baros
ST - Defoe

Likely backup players that could easily replace players are Primus, Sean Davis, Pedro Mendes, Glen Johnson, David Nugent and Kanu.

I like my squad, but I will be strengthening come negotiations, I have so far played 13 games, and have won the last seven, I stand top of the league, and Defoe stands top of teh scorers with 12.

My key players I feel are James, Sol, Bouba Diop, Muntari and Defoe, they all just never let me down.

Shit post but just tohught I'd let you know how I'm doing.

Maybe bring in a few youths in the mid season


And maybe a more creative attacking mid with a bit of flair, Matias Fernandez or Joao Mountiniho

I'd replace Diop as I don't like him.

Bring in Xabi Alonso, Kuyt and Lafata and you won't go to far wrong

Atletico Madrid

The league started so well for Atleti who won their first 10 games on the bounce before being destroyed at the Vicente Calderon by run away league leaders Barca. Despite leading the league for the best part of the Season they fell at the last quarter of the season. drawing 3 and losing 1 they dropped 11 points off Barca and stayed only 3 ahead of Real Madrid.

The cup run was a complete disaster they played Getafe in the Copa del Rey losing the first (Home leg) 4-1 meaning they needed 4 goals without return to go on in the competition. Getafe stood firm scoring 2 early goals. Aguero hit a hatrick and Luis Garcia made it 4 but it wasnt enough for Atleti to qualify.

Real Madrid knocked their rivals out of the UEFA cup 2-1 after both teams came 3rd and 4th in the same group.

But despite all of the negatives the Atletico fans can be proud of taking 2nd place, the highest position the club has come in over 15 years. Miguel Pentyliniho is slowly brining back success to the Red side of Madrid.









The squad


1. Falcon
2. Seitaridis
3. Antonio Lopez
4. Pernia
6. Kompany
7. Forlan

I put myself straight into Division 1 with the best teams in the game (Barca, Chelsea, Inter etc..) and played it on Top player with 5 minute games.

League Performance:

I was 9 points behind with my last 3 games being: Chelsea, Juventus and Lyon and their's being: Juventus; Chelsea and Real Madrid. I knew that if I won all my 3 games then I was in with a chance of getting the title, I just had to hope that Barca lost all their last 3 games. In the first game I managed to beat Chelsea 1-0 at the Bridge, with a cracker from the edge of the box by Rooney. Barcelona lost their first of the three 2-1 to Juventus, so there was hope at last. In the second of the three I beat Juventus 3-0 at home - a Tevez hat-trick and Barcelona lost 1-0 to Chelsea. As you could expect, I was hoping that I could win the title, having a better goal difference than them already.

So, it went down to the last day. Me against Lyon and them against Real Madrid. I started the game well, going 1-0 up with 15 minutes gone, through another scorcher from Rooney. On the half hour mark Hargreaves hit a lovely half-volley from the edge of the box that hit the bar that suprised everyone; even me. At half-time I was leading 1-0 and Barca were losing 1-0 to R. Madrid as well, so everything was going to plan. I just had to hope that Madrid kept winning and that I beat Lyon. And I did just that, with Park Ji Sung getting his 8th of the season on 53 minutes and C. Ronaldo managed to grab one right at the death.

I quickly went to see the Barca score, only to feel completely and utterly disappointed. Yep, you guessed it, Barca managed to turn the game around and go onto win it. 3-1 was the final score, and so my dreams of winning the title died with it.

Cup Performance:

In the first round I faced a stern challenge in the face of Arsenal, however, after winning 1-0 at the Emirates I was set up for a nice and easy home win, which ended up 2-0 to me (3-0 on aggregate). In the next round I was drawn with another tough, English opponent - Chelsea. I thought this round was going to be tougher than the last, but boy was I wrong. Chelsea came to Old Trafford for the 1st leg and we taught them a lesson in the beautiful game. Park Ji Sung notched a hat-trick, with Rooney (2), C. Ronaldo and Giggs getting the goals, making it a 7-0 home win for me. This was by the far the game of the season for me and set me on my way to the semi-final, however, I did lose the 2nd leg 1-0 at the Bridge. In the semis, I was drawn against A. Madrid. The first leg saw me come away with a 1-0 home win, thanks to a Tevez goal in the 72nd minute. I went to their place full of confidence and expecting us to progress to the final, and we did just that, with another 1-0 win.

The final saw us draw Inter. A very strong Italian team who have a formidable strike partnership of Ibrahimovic and Adriano. Their movement off the ball and pace and strength on it led to us being run ragged in the first half, however, we managed to hold on to a 0-0 draw. We were sorely missing C. Ronaldo and Giggs, who both had down arrows, as they provided most of the assists and creativity throughout the season. The second half was exactly the same as the first, with us being run ragged at the back and not creating anything up top. At full-time, the score was 0-0, so we had to go to extra time. This time, I made a change that changed the game completely, I brought off Saha who had had a shocking game on the wing, and put Tevez on up front, with Rooney as a left winger and Nani remained on the right. The first half of extra-time saw us pin Inter back in their own half for the first time in the game and we should have scored when Tevez went one-on-one with the keeper, only for him to send the ball inches past the post. It remained 0-0 up to the second half of extra-time when everyone in the stadium was thinking the game was going to penalties. A lovely move from us saw Brown tackle Adriano, for him to center the ball to Carrick, who then passed it to Rooney, for him to take it past 3 of the Inter Milan defenders and then round the keeper, to make it 1-0 with 10 minutes remaining. Inter threw everything at us but we held out and we were crowned D1 Cup champions in our first season! A great performance from the lads who deserved to win something this season.


Transfers:





Preferred Starting XI:

-Van Der Sar-
-Neville-Vidic-Ferdinand-Evra-
---------Hargreaves-----------
