No Ljajic after he failed a medical. Fuck

Anyone know why this 15 year old Brazilian I signed won't be joining my team for 2 years? I chose immediate for the transfer date. Is their some sort of odd rule I don't know about?

[BigHouseUSA]

January's over and I've stayed top four, somehow. Made a lot of moves. Sold Kramaric, Kiko, and Defour. Got Arteta in on loan, Forlan for cheap, Alex Texeria for 7mil. Gibbs and some Finnish fullback in as well. Pretty much all of them are temporary replacements until Enrique, Kadar, and Weiss are back. My team is nothing without Weiss.

Bmore's a newb ;)

Yes, I believe Brazilians, or South Americans, can't be transferred until 17.

[mgoblue2290]

Ah alright.

By Defour, do you mean Steven Defour? I got rid of him in my game as well after only one year. He never did anything at all, he was just kind of there.

[BigHouseUSA]

Yup, him. Same thing here, I've had him in past games and he was great. He was my backup, so he didn't play too often, but when he did nothing ever happened. Scored his first goal in his last game.

[Lanteri]

Yeah, Defour's actually deceptively bad compared to how he looks on first glance. Lots of high mental attributes, but he's pretty slow, weak, poor at finishing, and no aerial or defensive ability. Basically a one dimensional playmaker type. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that, if you have a role that suits that type of player in your formation.

I'm thinking he'd be pretty solid in the 4-3-1-2 formation I run with Palermo as the advanced playmaker-support.

To quote the game:

"The advanced playmaker aims to drop into holes between the opposition's midfield and defence, making himself available for teammates' passes and aiming to turn defence into attack in an instant. With a support duty, the AP will stay in the hole and look to spray passes to support players and forwards."

With his mental attributes/passing ability, I feel like he'd thrive in that role.

CB managing Liverpool? That's interesting.

My 5th straight victory over Celtic just cost Neil Lennon his job.

Yeah, I'm going to fuck them over :nana:

Nah, Carragher and Gerrard will have roles for life (or until I get bored of this save). The clubs history is impressive, and deserves the admiration it gets. I just enjoy giving the Red fans a windup because Gerrard and Carragher are two of the biggest tossers in the Prem

I've always wanted to build a tactic around Torres, but never had the chance. So I think it should be a fun game. Think I might through 20 mil at Suarez in the game as he would help at right wing and as a second strike, just like IRL

[mgoblue2290]

Eden Hazard just stepped up big time for me. In my round of 16 CL match against Genoa first leg was away, we lost 3-1. I was shocked we lost because we were favored and were on a roll.

So now I need to get at least two goals to advance and Hazard gets both of them in the first half. We added three more in the second to win 5-0, but still, Hazard was probably the last guy I would've picked to step up. He's earning the number 7 shirt I gave him.

[Fappin Raptor]

Since I haven't posted my roster/lineup for the 2012-13 season.

[mgoblue2290]

Probably going to sell Torres in the summer window.

Just drew Bayern in the CL semi-final. Arsene is the manager there. Madrid and Barca is the other semi-final match up.

[mgoblue2290]

I had been waiting for the new patch to come out before I start my Liverpool save.

If we ended up getting Adam and/or Young I would start a new one, but I like what I've got going. I will probably buy Carroll this summer since I already have Suarez.

[BigHouseUSA]

Finished 6th, fucking should've had Champions League though. Lost two points to Everton at the last second, then went 2-0 up on Man Utd before Vela got a red and they came back and won. I have 18mil for transfers, and have sold a few players. Squad is pretty thin, only moves so far signing Bruno for 10mil and Bradley for 6.

[mgoblue2290]

Into the CL final against Real Madrid. Got a little tense at the end. It was 2-2 heading into the match and I had the 2 away goals. We scored early but they scored in the 86th minute and we're really keeping the ball in my half. Agger put in a corner though to insure the victory.

Unfortunately I'll be without Danny Wilson who picked up three yellows, he's been my best defender all year too.
