Is Martial Yao Chinese?

 

I started a game with Wrexham and in my first season I finished 2nd and won the pain trophy and when you consider they are predicted to finish 17th I was quite proud of the achievement. Of course with the end of the season gives me the chance to really shape my squad but sadly I was given no money meaning I had to rely on free transfers and loans, even then I couldn’t get who I wanted (within reason) and have given up on it.

 

I'm tempted to give Cardiff a try too and build my squad around Owen Price, Sam Vokes, Jack Compton, Rhys Taylor, Grant Basey, Ryan Shawcross and other Welsh gems already in the team (Gunter, Parry, etc).

Sounds a pretty arduos kind of trophy tounge.gif

 

 

Martial Yao is from the Ivory Coast, i think hes at a club called ASEC at the start of the game. If you do go as Cardiff, Gunter turns out really well. Blake and Ledley are also in still in my first team but i cant see them progressing much further.

Meant the paint trophy but it was rather painful to win in terms of difficulty that's for sure!

 

Blake, is that Darcy Blake? Yeah I had a brief look at the Cardiff team at the start and the good thing is the club is only expected to finish 10th so there isn’t too much pressure for the first season.

Haha with Wrexham, i can imagine!

 

 

Darcy Blake is actually a really handy player, fairly temperamental, but fairly consistent and a great all rounder (scores the odd scorcher as well)

 

 

And yeah you wont have much pressure first season..just dont forget our 15 odd million debt. Its a bugger.

bumpity.

 

Well, I carried on my game in FM 2007 with chelsea. i've noticed that I'm at the tail end of the season, having won all the major trophies bar the world cup and european championship.

 

Just got a friendly cup semi final coming up soon as well as the Super Cup, then should have another two trophies, fingers crossed smile.gif

Anyone know of anywhere on the interweb that will give me a guide to setting up an online game? Myself and a mate have been trying to do it but its f*cked up!

Did you try any of the sites I suggested when you were looking for logos? They have quiet extensive forums and I'm sure there is someone there that will know how to do it. Failing that try GameFAQs or neoseeker for alternatives.

Started a new game with Villa. Spent the bulk of my transfer budget £13.75m on Rafael Van Der Vaart. Won my first league game away Spurs 2-1.

 

A mate and myself tried to get network games working for two hours last week and no joy. Its a complete ballocks.

Agbonlahor wont go for less than 38.5 million from Aston Villa yet AC Milan have offered me a pitiful 11 million for van persie, I know the english are a tad expensive but he's only valued at 5 mil.

In what season does Agbonlahor get good at? At the minute I'm at the end of the first and hes nothing special.

Just played this on the 360 on the demo i downloaded and i've just played my first match and won 8-0 against Homburg, 4 from Torres, 2 from Gerrard, an own goal and a penalty from Riise biggrin.gif.

 

The controls are very fiddley at first but i'm getting used to them as i go on, i might just get this game.

It should be in prefernces mate. Just check the box that says "Run in windowed mode"

 

I don't think you can do this with laptops though.

to do that, it may be under graphics options, look for run in windowed mode. most games generally let you.

I'm with Liverpool in the end of my second season, the first season I won both the league and the Champions league. but on this season I am 5th in the league and went out to Sevilla in the champions league quarter finals.

 

My team.

 

gk: Reina

rb: Alan Hutton

cb: Carragher

cb: Agger

lb: Insúa

rm: Iriome

cm: Michael Johnson

cm: Danny Guthrie

lm: Adam Hammill

Cf: Steven Gerrard

St: Mark Mccallister

 

and on the becnh i also have David Amoo, Eccleston, Plessis, Hobbs, Highdale and others.

 

I would really recomend to buy Mccallister, I bought him from Oxford United where he had scored 22 goals. And so far for me he has scored 5 goals on 20 apperances, but with alot of assists. He has attracted the intrest of both Chelsea and Newcastle. and Amoo has scored 14 goals on 27 apperances, Eccleston scored twice in the club world championship final. Adam Hammil and Guthrie have both been quite good to.

I should pick up again at my season, I think I'm getting close to the 2040s. So you guys be happy, I managed England to a World Cup win (Half of the players were from my Chelsea side, so it was easy wink.gif) but then got bored of their football and signed with Netherlands again colgate.gif

Just managed to buy Micah Richards for 40 million pounds and Joe Cole for 4 mil£ and Riquelme for 5,5 mil £.

 

and a question, I'm trying to convert Billy Jones to a right winger, How long will it take until he is Accomplished at that position. Right now he is unconvincing

Tchuck I'll be happy if you guide the Northern Ireland national team to world cup victory. smile.gif 2040 wow thats very impressive.

 

Croc:- I couldn't tell you mate, I don't really use that feature.

 

I am on a new Aton Villa game for some reason. Its Decemeber, I'm 7th and on a poor run of form. I got Menez, Ferraria from Chelsea and Van Der Vaart but I need a good striker. Any recomendations?

I'll send my scouts after him and see what they say.

 

Does the game engine piss anyone else off? My keyboard almost got threw at my screen there. Playing against Man Utd, was all over them for 90 minutes and was winning 2-1. The ref gives 5 minutes extra time and what happens with 10 seconds of extra time left? Wayne Rooney scores a god damned f*ckING equaliser! I am so f*cking pissed right now.

I know the feeling especially when it happens in cup games in extra time and you lose on penalties.If your looking for a good winger check out belluschi not sure if thats the spelling he plays wit river got 25 assists for me last season.Bought him for 6.75 sold him for 15

Oh don't worry, you'll get plenty of more reasons to get pissed at the game colgate.gif

Have you ever had your player getting sent off because he "headbutted" someone?

Happened to me at least 6 times a season.

Not to mention dominating the game, 30 shots vs 5 shots, and lose it 2-0. Or when your stiker starts to lose all the incredibly obvious chances, or your keeper starts to suck, or their keeper starts to be ungodly..

check up Mark Mccallister, he is a real gem of a player I'm in my 3d season and Chelsea, Newcastle and Aston Villa all want him. He plays a bit like Torres.

Started a game with Man united and went unbeaten the whole season winning all Comps. Although i had to load it a few times to keep the undefeated streak rolleyes.gif . Bought a player for Lazio called Goran Pedrov or somthing like that who is pretty good.

Goran Pandev yeah, macedonian striker, he's class. Chelsea in my games always go for him and Klose and Aguero. I signed him once as Chelsea, did a nice trident at the fron with Shevchenko, Drogba and Pandev. Lorenzo de Silvestri usually becomes a great player, so does Henri Saivet. Both really young at the start of the game (Saivet is like, 16). There's a serbian player at Fiorentina who becomes class aswell, Kuzmanovic I think. There's also ukrainian Oleg Husyev, who always took over the wing in whatever club I'd play, he's class too.

 

Edit: Reached 4500 total goals and getting close to the 100 cups won. The man of the number 4500 was danish Lasse Mikkelsen. He was a big hit back in 2034 biggrin.gif

 

Anyways, screenie of what I got so far:

 

user posted image

 

I think 1326 wins vs 129 losses is quite the decent record tounge.gif

Holy f*ck, Chuck. I think you deserve a GTAF award for that. Although 1 day at Newcastle, what was that about? lol.

 

Can you recommend a prolific striker in Jan of the first season? As I need 1 for my Aston Villa team, I have about 31 Mil to spend.

Hmm Amauri from Palermo is pretty decent, and usually not that expensive. Also Rafael Sóbis is very good, I used to buy him with lower end teams. Genero Zeefuik from netherlands will also grow up to be good. Those three are the cheap ones. But I reckon you might be able to snap up Goran Pandev, he's worth it as well. I'll look more into it when I get home.

 

The Newcastle thing, I had quit my job at Juve after the 3651 days, and wanted a new challenge, I applied there and Arsenal. Newcastle offered first, so I was like "Hm alright" but when I was appointed, I was linked with a move to Arsenal, and said I'd very much like so, and the board went "Resign or we'll fire you" and so I resigned tounge2.gif

Too bad for them though, went ahead and won lots of stuff with Arsenal colgate.gif

 

 

Data editor i presume

 

Nah mate, I don't cheat on this game. The only times I use the editor are to update transfers when I start a new game. No looking up future stars wink.gif

I kinda need some help. So I am with Liverpool in my third season and it hasn't really gone well, I'm meating Man Utd in the fa cup quarter final and if I don't win I'll get the sack. I have already played the match twice but both I times I have lost and gotten fired afterwards(I just reloaded the game). So any advice because I really don't want to let all my work building this team go. smile.gif
