Had to stop playing during finals. Just restarted and it's really nice to be healthy again. Since the return of my starting 11 I've won three in a row, 3-0, 5-1, and a 2-1 comeback at Man City.

Came into that game going 4-4-2 instead of the usual 4-5-1 away against a big side, but the previous two results were too good to change. Colo got a red ten minutes in, I still played well but they scored on a fluke in the 50th. Went into overload and Carroll put two away in the last ten minutes. Four goals in two games for him. Funny too, because he was awful in the last month, but as soon as RvN, McFadden, etc., came back he's been awesome.

Started my first Everton save on FM11 and opened up against Liverpool at home and whooped that ass 5-1. Yakubu with 3 and Cahill with 2. I was unable to capture Donovan as he went to Man City because they really need him :shifty:.

Going to download this tonight. Plan on running with an EPL team.

I am in October of my first season and I had to repick my lineup and captains. When I repick my lineup and captains and hit "Submit Roster" it won't let me and says that I haven't picked my captains or my keeper yet. Anyone know what the hell I have to do?

Screenshots? That might help me figure it out. Right now I'm not quite catching what you're saying.

Upset Liverpool on the road again 2-1 in the League Cup.

Nevermind. It fixed itself when I restarted it. I have no idea what the problem was.

Then I went on to defeat my rival, Hull, 2-0 :smug:

Who are you rolling with?

 

[Fappin Raptor]

3 road games into the season and I have 3 losses and have yet to score a goal. 3 home games in and I have 3 wins and have scored 13 and allowed 1.

Anyone looking for a good training schedule who doesn't like making their own (like myself), these have been said to be pretty good. http://fm-ramblings.blogspot.com/2010/11/tugs-training-for-fm11-football-manager.html

Who are you rolling with?

Scunthorpe United.

I wanted to try a team who was only known regionally and was at the absolute bottom so I could try to bring them up. So far I am sitting mid-table but can't string any wins together.

 

[Fappin Raptor]

I was playing Canada and one of their guys got a red card and their team started complaining and someone else got a yellow. Haven't seen that before.

 

[BigHouseUSA]

I've seen that a few times. Waiting for someone who's already on a yellow to get one.

 

[kmanharris]

I bitched about the refs and got suspended one game. I have bitched twice when I didn't get a PK I thought I deserved. Of course the video evidence showed that the call was right, both times.

Although, whenever an opposing team doesn't get a PK call I tell the press that I thought the ref made the correct call and I am glad he did lol.

 

[Sharkweather]

What a crazy match. Very pleased with the result.

Finished my second season in seventh, no spot in Europe though. There were takeover talks, but they collapsed, so still with Mike Ashley. He's given me 12mil, which is okay, but I'm trying to stretch that as far as possible. I really need a right back, another striker, and probably another good winger. I have a few ideas, and I really want Darren Bent since Sunderland are relegated, but they're not having it. Probably can't get McFadden full-time since Birmingham are back in the Prem, so looking at a young Swiss winger. Anybody have any other ideas?

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Mid-July and I'm pretty happy with the squad. I've stretched the 12 mil so much, still sitting at 10 mil with a lot left in wages too. Signed a decent attacking right back on a free, and Dindane for 1 mil. Got rid of a lot of big earners, mainly Colo, but also Jonas and Tiote. Signed Vela for around 4 mil, he's going to start on the left wing, hopefully that works out. I'm trying to sign Defour right now, then I'll sell Guthrie, also have a backup CB coming on for cheap.

Then I think I'll be done, and have some left over for January after that and I'll be pretty happy with my team. Hopefully that's good enough to get into Europe.

Back to my Wolves game. Sitting in eighth, well behind seventh and well ahead of ninth.

More importantly, just got through the Carling Cup final, facing off against Newcastle! I beat them 2-0 home and away last year while they were in the Prem and they are now sitting 17th in the Championship.

Team is similar to the base Newcastle, LuaLua is starting at AMR. Ranger/Ameobi striker.

Also, my signing of Geromel was inspired. His pace allows him to sit behind Stearman/Hobbs and clean everything up

 

[calgaryballer]

For some reason Man City wanted to spend £800k on Julian de Duzman. I think they may be trying to get Jonathon by using his bro

Been rolling with Southampton lately looking to get them back to the Premiership.

First season went well:

Lambert was far less impressive than I thought he would be, but Lallana and Puncheon more than suitably picked up the slack.

I'm hoping to make it back to back promotions, but the Championship should be a little tougher than League One, especially given my current squad.

 

[calgaryballer]

Carling Cup time!

Wolves beat - Carlisle, Wigan, Scunthorpe, Spurs and Barnsley to reach the final
Newcastle beat - Oxford, Watford, West Brom, Reading and Man U to reach the final

Wolves are in eight in the Prem, NUFC is 14th in the Championship
