FML Radio Co-Host Announced

I am please to announce that I will be joined this week on FML Radio by Martin Pearson who is Support Mod in my own Gameworld of Nunez.

I have played FML with Martin for nearly 3 years now and it makes sense to have Martin has the Co-Host of FML Radio.

I hope to joined by different people every week but I am also realistic and realise rome wasn't built in a day so I am prepared that the first few weeks we might be short on guests.

If anyone wants to call into the show they are very much welcomed and if anyone would like to be part of the guest panel then please let me know!

FML Radio Launch

FML Radio is set to be launched on Tuesday 30th November 2010.

FML Radio is a weekly radio show which will basically be a talk show inviting people to phone (Which can be done free using Skype) into the show and have their say on all issues regarding Football Manager Live!

This weekly show will be held every Tuesday evening 8.p.m. starting with the first show on 30th November.

Each week will see a panel of managers having a chat about FML, discussing different aspects of the game.

We welcome listeners to call in and have their say on anything to do with FML.

I do not expect this to become an instant success however something that hopefully will grow over time, although be warned it will be very raw.

If you want to take part in the show please feel free to contact me.

Click Here to set a reminder for the show.

Why not tune in on the 30th and have a listen and of course you can call in and join in.

Universally Challenged Final

I would just like to thank Rik Stewart for originally coming up with this idea, it has gone down well.

The winners of this event received 3 months extension to their FML Subscription along with a free copy of FM2011

Many Thanks to the guys at Si for providing these prizes it was a good event and with a bit more orgainising in the future something Im sure could be created along similar lines but prehaps this time it will test your skills as a manager and not as a brainiac.

Gameworld Plus Podcast

I while back I accepted an invite to appear on the gameworldplus podcast with Rik, Thom and Jakswans.

The date for this was agreed way in advance and a few days before it I was ill with the usual seasonal illness, cough cold the usual crap.

So I made a very breif apparence trying to chip in where I can with a few bits and pieces.

Rik has decided to take a step away from FML for a while, and I understand Jak is now only in Beta having let his live accounts run their course.

I wish Thom the best of luck with the podcast for the future should he wish to continue it.

Having made several podcasts previously a few years ago I recall the effort it takes to edit this into the final draft that appears for all to listen to.

Having given it much consideration and probably against my better judgement I have decided to go back down this route, however not with a podcast this time as I dont have the time to edit it.

I will be annoucing full details of this tomorrow!!!

Mental in Miller

I have a spare day today.



So I decided it was about time i spent an hour or so on team maintenace in Miller.



I have never really taken to Miller however I decided it was time to restart.



but wait I have £5,000,000 in the bank.



So I sack some unused players, till i reach my 16 squad limit, so I decide to post in MP that I want a RB.



The vultures start to circle. So I sign a RB and sack another player.



This continues and the Market Place in Miller becomes alive with pure tosh!!!



Everyone is trying to sell me there casts off.



My best 16 by Ability is 7



Anyone I have decided what the hell the whole team are getting sacked!



So one by one I replace everyone player in the team except 3 within an hour buying from people advertising in the Market Place.



My best 16 by ability is now 14.5.

Happy days.

I am 14th in the league of about 18 teams with 4 games to play.

I manage to finish the season within this session and manage 3 wins out of 4, no team gelling issues here.

A great session of FML and it kind of sums up my FML gaming I am a binge player!!!

A legend Jogs On!!!

I was lucky enough to catch up with FML Community Legend Rik Stewart last night.

Rik has decided to step away from FML for a while, having joined the game at the same time as Rik nearly 3 years ago I know how much Rik loves FML and this is a decision he would not have taken lightly.

I recall the day I was asked to become a Mod by Richard Tebbutt and my first reaction was only if you are asking Rik as well. This was not me being a twat this was me knowing how important Riks role was in the Pre Release Beta GW we were in together Physco GW6

The banter that was created in this GW was like nothing I have ever seen since and possibly will again, I dont know what created it but it was a special GW and one I had the most fun on.

Perhaps it was just a case of a GW full of people who were up for the crack I dont know maybe it is the game has changed so much ?

Im sure given more time in his life Rik would continue playing FML, but people move on however Rik has done so much for FML I find it really sad that he is moving on.

With FM2011 around the corner Im sure what gaming time Rik does have he will spend on that as opposed to FML, however FM is a great game it does not have the community aspect that FML does.

If FML had a fraction of the depth involved with FM then Im sure it would keep people involved for longer, however FML is not FM and there is a big difference between both games.

I decided to play FM2011 Demo for a few hours recently, and wow what a game!

This game has gone from strength to strength with every addition it just takes on more depth but can also appeal to those who want to be less involved ie in the training side of things etc. The game is so diverse, I love the interaction with the players albeit I have annoyyed most of mine in the few hours that I spent playing.

Universally Challenged

A few months ago I was sent an email from FML Legend Rik Stewart.

The email was sent to few Moderators along with Rob Aka Bertie from Si.

The contents of this was to try and get a cross Gameworld quiz up and running.

This was warmly recieved from the people who had received the email, and about 50 emails followed which tried to sort this out and get the ball rolling.

It never really got off the ground due to various issues with people being away and like then it was how do we get all the gameworlds involved.

As you are probably aware one of the first things that we have done as Community Support Moderators is to get this up and running.

So we set about arranging this on a cross gameworld basis, the ideal sceniro would be to have the qualifying rounds on at the same time in every gameworld, however logistically this is just not possible.

Therefore Guido has created a set of 80 questions for each round to be sent to the gameworlds from which they will select 30 questions at random to run in the quiz.

The winners go forth to Miller and will take part in the final.

The 3 people from the winner gameworld will have their subscription extended by 3 months.

We are now underway with the qualifiying process and things are coming along well.

The quizs are being met with great excitement and its adding an extra dimension to the game.

The Next step!!!

Something New

The last few weeks have been a bit busy for me on FML.

This is not due to my activities on Nunez but more to do with the fact that I was recently appointed a new role in FML.

As you are all aware we currently have the Support Mods who step in and deal with a lot of the issues involved with Moderating FML, well the powers that be at Si Towers have decided to appoint a couple of additional Support Mods which are to be known as Community Support Mods.

I guess you can see where this is leading ?

I have been appointed as s Community Support Moderator, along with Quizmaster Guido.

So What’s the Cracker Jack with a CSM ?

The role of CSM is to be there to assist any Mod teams that need assistance with any Community Events.

This is an advisory role more than just a case of us logging in to do the events on their behalf.

The current Mod team do a terrific job, and it can take a lot of time and effort constantly coming up with new events and comps etc to run in a Gameworld.

There are currently lots of different events in various Gameworlds being run the idea is that as CSM’s we will create a database of these events and the info required to run them.

This way if a mod wants to run something but doesn’t have the time to prepare say a quiz for example they can just use the database we will create and simply copy it from there.

We will be working over the next couple of weeks on pulling all the events into a central database to run.

The type of things we are talking about are

CPU Challenges/Missions
Quiz’s
Treasure Hunts
Comps
Special Seasonal Events


All of these types of things are part of FML already and some people might not be interested in them but if they are then they can be a great addition to the game and can often create a buzz about the gameworld.

One of the attractions of FML for me is the fact that it brings football fans together and there is nothing better than seeing a great discussion kick off about an incident that has taken place during a recent match.

You need better players Daddy!!!

This morning I was sat nursing a hangover I decided to log into FML.

Having downloaded the new update. (My thoughts to follow on this next week)

My 5 year old daughter came over and started cheering on Cider Stars we took a nice first half lead. So I decided to let her choose the half time team talk. She choose Pleased with their performance.

We won 2-0 and she was delighted, Daddy can we play another one.

So I selected the next match on my AI list and let her pick the half time team talks.

The match finished 0-0

"Daddy, you need better players, Can we play as England next?"

Out of the mouths of babes, all that goes into building a team and I feel my 5 year has FML sussed.

Its all about the players, whilst it sounds obvious it appears something that is the theme of FML its all about the trading.

So to conclude I need to invest in players and FML needs to introduce International management.

And finally, She didnt want to play after we drew, It seems she is a save and reload FM player in the making!!!

Return of an FML Legend

After having gone through the pain of torture of moderating Nunez and Sanchez a legend has returned to writing his blog.

I announce the return of Nick"Old Git" Megarity

Take a look at his first post since his return to the community fold.

http://almostretired-fml.blogspot.com/

Trialist World Cup

Sunday Night

Chris Wright had decided to run a World Cup event made up of trialists.

The Mods in the Gameworld made sure this was given lots of promotion in the build up and the event was a great success.

Teams were drawn a country, at random by Chris and Marc.

The idea got the gameworld buzzing.

The mod team decided they would cover any wages incurred upto £20,000 anything above this and it would be upto the manager to cover the addtional costs.

There was a small cash prize.

After each team was given a country, we had about 45mins to select our team and join the comp.

This was one of the most successful community events we have held in Nunez and I was very pleased for Chris who had put alot of work into the event.

Personally I was drawn Turkey!!!

I had an OK team and won both of my qualifiers, making it through to the knockout stages where I was beaten by fellow mod and event organiser Chris Wright.

The ultimate winner was Matt Pilgrim who won the World Cup whilst in charge of NORWAY!!!

A great event and one of many more to make its apperence in Nunez over the forthcoming weeks.

Mid Season Blues

Im out of all the cups and Im looking like I might just beat the drop!!!

Im out all the cups and with no managers left who are actually on at the same time as me to play Im offically having a mid season slump.

Team is grafting away finacially we are looking better only 1.4mil in debt now.

This brings me to the question if I didnt love FML, Why would I log in tonight?

Simple I wouldn't. A lot has been made in the past about the lack of things to do in FML.

Well as a Mod that is never the case however I do wonder what keeps people coming back time and time again.

We run these QPs each night but does anyone really care who wins ?

What is the answer, GWs have quiz's, Newspapers and all the rest of the extras in my opionon this is what makes FML so great the interaction.

Its the key to the game, from my aspect its what draws me to FML above all else.

I had a discussion with a mod from another GW recently apart scheduling community events so people know what is going on in their GW on certain days etc.

Would this help ? Would we see people logging in just to take part in a certain event.

I feel it would, I would love your thoughts?

Transfer Record SMASHED!!!

Firstly this week we have seen FML Legend Sergio Aguero go for just shy of £6,000,000




To those of you in other gameworlds will think thats not alot but this is Nunez inflation is low here and due to stricter prize money in our Gameworld has been kept under control.



A new Record. A terrfic signing for Dan Pope.


Then on Friday I awake to an email from fellow Mod Martin Pearson advising that Pato has been sold as well. Smashing the Transfer Record Again!!!


This time its a Massive, Huge Jaw dropping amount of £7,500,000


We have only just started season 4 and this money is huge.


However there are not many people who could afford to splash this much cash.


Would I pay 7.5mil for Pato ?

Would I eckers like, but then again that probably explains why I dont win anything!

Bob the Builder visits The Strongbow Arena

Firstly, I think the reward for stadium building just doesn't seem worth it in my opinion. That said I dont care I want to crack on with building a stadium.

So Ive already got a stand behind one of the goals which is a 1 tier Aizendale packed with seats. I built a 2 tier Ospitalita behind the other goal last season.

Its now time to get the fans in.

So Ive piled my money into packing it out.

Ive started work on adding 7,000 seats behind the goal, this is it this will the stand where all the Strongbow signing crew will be placed.

With costs spiralling out of control and the ROI set at something over 133 Ive done this purely out of my desire to see fans at my ground and not through any strategy about how best to improve my team and bring max income into the club.

With me facing possible relegation this season It could be a stupid move and however who cares, in for a penny in for a pound.

Im already 2mil in debt whats another mil on seats!!!

Dumped out the Cups

I do love a good cup run.

I'm never good enough to actually win a league in FML and my goal each yeah is to just try and have a good cup run and let the league take care of itself.

The Last couple have days has seen me dumped out of the following Major Cup Comps.

Gameworld Cup 2nd Round
Gold Cup 2nd Round
VFA Upper Cup 1st Round

Not what I was looking for at all, I can have no complaints in any of these matches as I did not deserve the win and was outclassed outgunned and outplayed!!!

This only leaves in the VFA Cup.

I have just managed to squeeze through to the last 16 in this.

I have a slight challenge in front of me now though.

Ive been drawn Caboor, VFA Cup winners last season. Current Gameworld Champion and the No1 ranked team in the Gameworld.

I can not see me getting anything out of that fixture, but you just never know I guess.

Wish me luck

Beat a Mod Hour

A simple game.

Managers challenge the mods each team that beats a mod during the hour wins 10,000 RPs.

I did my bit for the gameworld and got beat 4 times in an hour.

Not my finest hour by a long way but hey ho only friendly matches.

The final score was a battering of the mod teams by the managers of Nunez.

Here is the summary of the hours play.



Hello Nunezites,

The Mod Team

Also if you have any feedback on the challeges or anything feel free to drop a note to the mod mail list

A right one sided affair, However at least I got to dish out some Reward Points.

Revenge is so sweet

After the assult by Martin Pearson I feel the only way to repay my good friend is to beat his Panthers.

Its time for our return leg.

Sometimes people say a picture speaks a thousands words.

Thats right I chuffing won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel revenge has been done, Im happy the fued is over, for now.

However I feel guilty, somewhat ashamed deflated.

Why you might ask ?

Its possible I might have taken revenge a step too far.

Pato out for 5 games!!!

I know its not as long as the guy that was battered by the panthers but this is Pato and its still 5 matches.

I feel a little bit guilty then i think sod it.

PLAY, WIN RUB IT IN

Duffy Makes my Day!!!

To all of you out there who love the internet with your blogs, and ya tweets and all that nonesense.

This is great news which isnt techincally an announcement more like throwing a dog a bone.

http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/227596-Publishing-FMLive-Data-Outside-of-the-Game

Great News, and nice work Rik drawing Duffy in to the thread!

Bank Manager is Stalking me!

He is phoning he is texting he is emailing me and now he has turned up at the ground.

The Bank manager is unhappy as I might have gone a little tiny bit over the overdraft limit.

My overdraft limit is £100,000

Im currently a little bit past that!

Should I be allowed to go this far overdrawn ?

Strongbow Stars get an Oscar!!!

THE OSCARS

The Academy Award (frequently known as the Oscar) is an accolade by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS)[1] to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors, actors, and writers. The formal ceremony at which the awards are presented is one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world and is televised in more than 200 countries annually. It is also the oldest award ceremony in the media, and its equivalents, the Grammy Awards (for music), Emmy Awards (for television) and Tony Awards (for theatre) are modeled from the Academy. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences itself was conceived by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio boss Louis B. Mayer.

However this has bugger all to do with that!

Theres a new man in town, Strongbow Stars are pleased to announce the arrival of Oscar Trejo!

He cost me a packet and I paid over the odds but frankly who gives a damn.

Farewell to the GWs top goalscorer

Following the violent assult on my striker injuring him for 15 matches I figure its time to move him on I simply can not afford to carry him in this most vital season.

So I email the shortlisted managers and bang 5 PCs in 10mins!!!

So who is this mega talent ?

I still have Early Sales Tax on him and need to shift him fast so after weighing up various options I take a 1.7mil bid spread over 4 weeks with a 20% Profit sell on.

Now time to bring in a replacement.

Who is not on stupid wages and who is worth parting with my cash and worthy of wearing the famous Strongbow Stars shirt.

Oldest Rivals Savage attack!!!

Football is all about rivalry and it was drives the fans, the passion the banter mixing it up and having a crack.

FML is the same its all about winding up mates.

Ive been playing FML for nearly 3 years and during that time I would like to think I have made several friends.

However there is one who is my biggest rival and that is Martin Pearson.

We have been in every gameworld together during our time on FML and have built up a great friendship.

Martin was appointed as a mod at the same time as me by Richard Tebbutt.

I would class Martin as a true friend.

However Friends end as did ours yesterday, let me explain.

Martin is in my VFA league, He is title favourite and is odds on for the title.

However it was time for our match, really didnt fancy my chances here at all.

Match Kicks off and mid way through the first half he takes out my striker!!!

This is not just any striker this is the Gameworlds leading goalscorer and no one has raked up more assists.

He is a true god.

He was savagly attacked and injuried for 15 matches thats half a season.

The season is now over as is our friendship.

He broke it!!!

Vital 6 points

Time to play Bluebirds.

This time at home Bluebirds were the team who turned me over 4-1 last night at there gaff.

I felt things had improved over night and with 2 players brought into the starting line up I felt defensively stronger than before.

But hey what the heck do I know.....

It was a bit of a one sided affair with the Strongbow Boys playing out of their skins.

Creating several chances without really taking them, mid way through the 2nd half and I felt this was going the way of the Birds with a sneaky goal going to win it.

Then infeild came my Left winger and belted a cracking striker with his right boot and bent it into the far corner.

Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

1-0

With some slow play and time wasting I manage to keep the lead and take the 3 points.

This was followed up by a cracking 3-0 win away against FC Southampton.

I would like to say this was a one sided affair but that would be untrue dispite the scoreline it was a close match.

The goal of the game for me has to be the counter attack for the third great run from my striker down the flank following a corner and he crossed it like a true pro to find one of AMCs running in at the far post to knock it in.

A very enjoyable victory but trying to keep my feet on the ground is hard after todays results.

I might just bloody well stay up at this rate.

Back on Track

So I play a quick early morning warm up against a Level 11 CPU team 3-2 defeat but hey at least I scored.

VFA Championship

First proper match of the day is against Skalps, who I have tipped as League Runners Up this season.

It is a cracking match, proper end to end stuff with the keepers both being in outstanding form.

1-1

A point from a top side in the league is a great result and one my boys should be proud of.

As we are both online we decide to play the other league fixture.

Dispite the draw I managed at home to them mins before I dont feel confident of this match at all.

However lady luck shines down on me and a couple of corner goals something I very very rarely score and I find myself walking away with a 4-0 away win under my belt. This is the pinnacle of the season so far could this be the turning point of the season?

Next Up Cair Hunts play off contenders in my pre season preview.

First off I play them at home and this is one of the most enjoyable matches Ive played in a long time a real case of two teams both just going for it.

Hunts have Mario Balotelli up front and he is a real handful, something I seemed to have missed in the build up to the season kick off.

Anyway it was a tight affair that really could have gone either way however I lose 2-1.

I jump straigh into the away match where im out played out classed and as we enter the 90th min Im 2-1 down and cant see a goal coming.

Then BANG Goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

2-2

Thats how it finishes and I cnat help telling the other manager this feels like a win to me.

Not a bad start to the day really I certainly would have taken 5 points from these 4 games before the day started and Im suddendly more hopeful and feel with alot of luck I could avoid relegation.

Match Engine is screwed

Enough is Enough Im an avid fan of FML having played it for 3 years now.

HOWEVER, Somethings are just too much to take.

Yesterday I saw the most bizarre goal ever.

My CB was kicking the ball back to my goalkeeper for him to take a freekick and Torres pounced on it ran down the pitch for his team mate to score.

Clearly he wasn't actually taking the freekick and was waiting for the keeper to hoof it upfield.

Everyone who has seen this agrees except the ref in the game. Its this kind of thing that ruins the game for me. Forget the fact that Torres had a perfectly good goal already ruled out for offside when he was half a yard onside.

Furthermore the ME is just random.
Yesterday saw a promoted side go away from home and take a 3-0 lead (also having a pen saved) against one of the best sides in the Premier League, although the top side did nearly sneak a draw.

It also saw the champions lose 1-0 to a team who has spent a fortune but are not considered title contenders.


It is clear to me that things just arent right with the ME.

SORT IT OUT PLEASE!!!

Day 2

After the dreadful start of the season I had yesterday I have woken up and decided to go back to playing the only way I know how. Attack Attack Attack.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway said about his defeat against Chelsea last week was down to him changing the way his team play for the champions.

It was a game of two halfs at Chelsea once Blackpool went back to 433 the attacking formation they have played since Holloway took over they looked alot better against the champs however he went with a more defensive approach in the first half and got battered.

Thats what I did last night, play to mine and my teams strengths thats my thoughts from now on.

Back to 4321

Will it work who knows, but I will enjoy the game more having a good end to end game than trying to keep things tight.

FML Opening Night of Season 4

After all the hype and excitement the season is underway at last.

First game of the season is against Play Off Contenders BK Bimmer in the VFA Championship.

I go 1-0 down after only 4 mins, then I batter their goal for the next 10 mins with their keeper in excellent form. Then on 18 mins a quick break from their corner and the ball is played up to my striker who is the GWs top goalscorer.

The pass is a touch short and my striker lunges at it and fouls the defender in the process.

Red Card!!!

Its all up hill from here on in, for the rest of match I get out classed and out played Final Result 3-0

This could be a very long season.

I challenge the same team to the return leg straight away.

An uneventful game which I lose 2-0 and fail to create any real chances.

Next up Gold Cup.

Im playing a team who are far superior to my own I try my best but my boys are knocked out 2-0

The concerning thing after 3 games is Ive yet to score!!!

Next up Bluebirds in the VFA Chamionship.

I go into this game thinking Ive got a chance of getting something If i can keep things tight at the back.

I lose 4-1 and was never in the game.

A terrible start to season 4!!!

Things can only get better surely ?

12 hours to go and its all change

Tactically I am not the best at FML and Im the first to admit it, I play with a 4 3 2 1 and have played this way for 3 years now iwth the odd variant along the way.

I like playing this way and my match plan bascially consists of score more than them!!!

It makes the game more enjoyable to watch and I like to give value for money to my fans, however I have decided to change this to a more conserative approach to the game.

So with 12 hours to go to the all important start of season 4 Ive changed to a 4411 system hoping to try and plug some of the defensive problems that have blighted my FML career.

Taking part in the VFA means I can take a lot slower pace to my games and give them more consideration.

Heres to a new formation and tactics for the forthcoming season.

Wish me luck I feel I will need it

Season 4 Lockdown

I log on at 7.50pm with lockdown due in 10mins.

I have a quick look at the EFA the FA that I have grown to love over the last 3 seasons, and notice that lots of top teams have joined the EFA.

I have a look and I look set to be in the 3rd tier. Not Happy.

So I make a quick decision and leave the EFA and join the TFA in the hope I can make the top couple of tiers in this FA.

A pal of mine then comes on and says VFA looks easier so I TFA at 8 and try to join the TFA and you know whats coming......... I did it just with seconds to spare!!!

So I'm set for my first season in the VFA Season kicks off in 24 hours.

This really is going to be a boring season with me over 2mil in debt its all about just getting through the season as best I can.

Hoping I can do well in a cup this season.

Dry Spell

12th September 2010

Strange day woke up with a huge hangover and decided thats it time to take a break from the Strongbow.

Im a daily drinker, and enjoy a nice pint however time to give the liver a rest so Im on the wagon till the Christmas period.

However my team are called Strongbow Stars so its not going to be easy.

3 Seasons In

Ok Its been a mental few months and Nunez has been in full swing.

I feel I have not really bonded with my team for the first few season and have not really enjoyed the 3 season qualifying stage.

I have ironically enjoyed the EFA way of things, this kind of goes against everything i beleive in having come from GW6 and the SFA which was all about the slow pace and plenty of banter.

I like the fact that there is always something to play for a season in 7 days is great from my view Im loving that aspect.

Ive no idea where I stand for the forthcoming season, I need to try and get my finances in order so I might have to face a few relegations this season.

Currently over 2mil in debt and not coming out of it anytime soon.

My Bank manager is more reckless than the man in charge or together mortgages at Northern Rock was!!!

My starting squad

My Starting Squad

I will be playing a 4-4-1-1 formation for the start of the season.

Goal Keeper


Right Back

Left Back

Central Defender

Central Defender

Right Winger

Left Winger

Defensive Midfielder

Central Midfielder

Attacking Midfielder/Playmaker

Striker


That concludes my starting 11.

As we all know FML is a squad game what with injuries so I needed to pick some more players to cover injuries. FML rules state I must select at least 16 players to be able to confirm my squad and starting playing.

So here are my subs

Central Defender


Mark is a real rough diamond by I figure at 18 he is worth taking a risk on and can only improve with me bringing him on and showing him the way or the world!


Defensive Midfielder



This was the last player I choose to add to my squad and thought he offered a bit of cover however his stats are very low but again he is a youthful 18 so might just push on and if not I can release him at the end of the season.

Defender/Defensive Midfielder

I felt Givi offered me value for money as he can cover Central Defenders and Defensive Midfielders.

Left Winger

I just felt Anelka was impressive for his age and would offer good resale value at the end of the season.

Attacking Midfielder

Sami’s all round stats make him an ok back up AMC however I will look to replace him ASAP however I felt I did need cover in this position and my starting pool was somewhat lacking.

Striker

Josh is a big lump of a centre forward who I felt could come on and upset defenders.

My starting striker is a short small lightweight striker and Josh is the exact opposite at 6’4 and 13st 9lb he is going to be a hand full.

That concludes my starting squad 17 players who I am happy with, I am lacking quality up front and I need a quality MC as I’m not sure about Goni, so those are the two key areas I will look to replace ASAP however I will only replace with quality players no point bringing in like for like replacement players I demand the best.

Nunez goes Live

I'm at work and receive an email from Si advising the latest Gameworld has gone live.

This is a Returning Stars gameworld called Nunez.

I am down to moderate in this gameworld, thats it no more constructive work out of me all I can think about is I need to get home and get logged on.

This is what Ive trained for this is it this is my destiny its fullfillment time!

I am to be rejoined by many of the mods who were in my former Gameworld along with Mods who I have not come across in my 13 previous gameworlds.

The rush is on to get home and get logged on.
