Got game from work yesterday, staff discount awesome! Vincente decided to sign for Calgari and now fitness never above 85%! Need 12 points for promotion, sold Harley in Jan and bought Wilshire in on loan, brilliant business even if I do say so myself!

He signed a contract extension for me of 1 year. That said he spends most his time injured :/

Does anyone know how to scout South America, it comes up with not allowed to scout the world. What have I got to do to be able to send a scout there?

they've reduced 2011 to £2.99. That's a bargain. Great game.

Finished first season 17th and 6th about 10 games in to season two.
Dunk is now worth £1.3million and Pires has just retired from my team

Not sure about this version but it's usually linked to your budget, i.e. only when you're doing well in the Premiership will the board allow you to send scouts that far afield

Just finished my first season last night (one of those 'oh go on just one more game...' sessions that finished at 1am), and finished 2nd, meaning that we'll start next season in the promised land of the Premier League!
In terms of coaching staff, I promoted Oatway to Assistant Manager (he has great stats for it) and got rid of all coaches except Tony Godden.
Was wildly inconsistent first half of the season, generally playing very well at home but terrible away and hovering around 5th/6th. Changed my formation in the second half of the season for away games and went on an incredible run to surge up to 3rd, 3 points beyond Portsmouth with 3 games to play. While I beat Derby away (thanks to a last minute winner) Portsmouth lost to eventual champions Burnley, and once they only managed to draw their next game I was promoted with a game to spare. Went into the last game of the season top (a point ahead of Burnley, who had been top all season until that point) but a 4-1 thrashing away at Barnsley saw me finish up 2nd.
Major transfers (from memory)
In:
Yves Ma Kalambay (free)
Stephen Jordan (free)
Darcy Blake (Cardiff, £1m)
David Edgar (Burnley, £300k)
Kazenga Lua Lua (Newcastle, £1m)
Stephen Quinn (Sheffield United, £475k)
Gary Deegan (Coventry, £150k)
Steve Wootten (Man United, £225k)
Jamie Mackie (QPR, £1.3m)
Paul Pogba (Man United, loan)
Alex Chamberlain (Arsenal, loan)
Outs:
Marcos Painter (£425k, Burnley)
Gordon Greer (£1.5m, Celtic)
Ryan Harley (£400k, Norwich)
Ankergren (£200k, can't remember)
Dicker, Elphick, Poke and Brezovan out on the cheap (can't remember where)
Team played 4-1-1-2-2 (back 4, 1 def mid, 1 cent mid, 2 wingers, 2 centre forwards) on attacking mentality at home, and 4-1-2-2-1 (back 4, 1 def mid, 2 cent mid, 2 wingers, 1 cf) away either on attacking (for weak teams) or counter-attack (for strong teams). CMS ended up as top scorer with 19 league goals and Mackie (who missed 2½ months with injury) finished on 16. CMS was dire most of the season but came into some great form in the last 10 games. Vicente and Dunk were great all season, and Stephen Quinn (who came in January) was fantastic for the crucial last 6 games and scored 3 absolute blinders in those games. Also managed to get Vicente to sign a contract renewal for another season in December on similar terms. I think I'm going to have an active summer, already eyeing up the best players from the relegated teams (Swansea, Norwich and Wigan). Danny Graham is my number one target.

The full version has been out for a week now, so presumably he completed the season on that.

Sorry, yes, completed the season on the full game. Posted on this thread because it appeared at the top of the board - is there a separate one for the full game?

Well im not in charge of Brighton on one of my saves just finding it far to easy with them, but on the other game im doing Brighton are awful, 2nd from Bottom, Greer has said he wants to leave, and i have signed Dunk for my team admittedly for a decent price.
They have won 3 games out of 17 and Gus is about to get the sack, seems really unrealistic, as if ya play as Brighton on the game this piss it, but if you dont they struggle like hell

I'm still playing the demo at the moment as I haven't found a good enough offer for the full game yet.
Either I have stumbled upon some decent tactics or the game is slightly easier than in previous years. I am currently in 6th place in the table but have just made the 1/4 finals of the league cup by beating a strong Man City team 5-1 at home.
On the subject of good deals does anybody know of a place where this game is going pretty cheap??

go to board request and request to improve scouting knowledge (or whatever its called)
also has anyone realised now its harder to get teams over for friendlies as they give valid reasons for not playing, and also your board will say if its worth going to that country on tour or not......like it
