I bid for Kagelmacher as well, but he went somewhere in Germany instead. Thus far all is well in terms of results, with wins over Cardiff (2-1) and Watford (3-2) in the Championship, plus a 4-0 crushing of Hereford in the League Cup (in front of a mighty 3,500 fans at The Amex).

Hoskins can't stop scoring, he and CMS have quickly become my main partnership on the grounds that Barnes couldn't hit a barndoor. My only small frustration is that Vicente picked up an injury in one of my friendlies and is still out of action for another couple of weeks, so I've not been able to unleash him yet.

Signings wise, I've brought in Darren Carter (Free), Ben Alnwick (525k), Chris Wood (Loan) and Christian Ribeiro (500k + Michael Poke), with Simmonds, Redwood, East and Hall having gone out on loan.

When I get the game I properly try and sign bobby zamora

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Wow! In the comparisons we are a really poor team!

On the SIG site there is a forum and under the player/team guide no one has ever set up a thread on the Albion. Surely someone would have the time to do this so we could pool our resources?

Really usually the guy that gets all the info for each team sets them up.

Yes... its Turkey I think...... dont get me wrong... it may be a far better description than our recent form has been showing... especially the defence.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

All Ive managed so far after one friendly is to get Tom Soares in on a seasons loan. Yes I know hes ex Palace but he really is a box to box midfielder better than Dicker by some way. I wonder if he would be a REAL option?

 

[seagully]

Is anyone else disappointed that the player attributes seem to be almost identical to last year's version?

Finished my half-season with the mighty albion. Didnt do too badly only went through one little bad patch which included 4-1 loss to west ham and 7-4 loss to leicester. On the other hand beat palace 5-1 and southampton 2-1. Finished 4th in the league and played CMS as poacher and hes scored 20+ league goals already and some of the time he was injured/suspended. Signings wise I got Drury, Lichaj and Parnaby for new full backs, Andrew Davies CB, set up man u as parent club so got Ravel Morrison on loan and also got Sammy Ameobi recently on loan. Still got Ankergren/Brezovan as keepers and sent Agdestein, Kasim, Caskey, Cook away on loans. Also sold Sparrow to Burnley.

Usual Lineup

GK Ankergren
LB Drury/Lichaj
RCB Davies/Dunk
LCB Greer/El-Abd
RB Parnaby/Calderon
CM Bridcutt
CM Dicker/Harley
AML Noone/Vicente
AMR Morrison/LuaLua
ST Mackail-Smith
ST Barnes/Hoskins/Ameobi

Usually rotate squad around on the basis of fitness and ratings.

 

[finlaych]

Just about to play my first game of the season against Cardiff. My pre-season was good played 9, 8 wins, 1 draw, scored 27 and conceded 2. Replaced Marcos Painter at left back with Lee Naylor, signed Fanimo from Westham and a few free transfers. Sent out a load of players on loan aswell. My line up is

GK Ankergren
LB Naylor
CB Greer
CB El-Abd/Dunk
RB Calderon
CM Harley
CM Bridcutt/Sparrow
RAM Lua Lua
LAM Vicente
ST Mackail-Smith
ST Hoskins

 

[Gus is god]

I won all my pre season apart from my last against City reserves where Tevez played and scored 2 and i lost 2-1.

I have not played a league game yet.

 

[cjwoolven]

Not too different from fm11, just more options etc.
Brought Chester from hull for CB, a young full back from Motherwell and brought Wood back in on loan. 7th after 7 games, CMS with 6 and Wood with 4 goals.

 

[Amex_Charlie]

ins: Samaras, Dobbie, Beattie (utter shit), andrew davies,
outs: Elphick(Hartlepool), El-abd(Mk Dons), Brez(Cardiff)

LuaLua is beast, Barnes wont stop scoring, Dunk good too

Barnes won't START scoring for me. Luckily CMS and Hoskins are banging them in well enough.

 

[brighton_girl87]

Stephan Loboué is a good goalie and he is free!

 

[Petee]

So gutted that I cant carry on my save for at least 2 weeks

 

[shaolinpunk]

What's the transfer budget?
