Default A real challange....

I'll give this a go to!
I already started another tough challenge a couple a weeks ago with Queen's Park in Scotland, but this also sounds interesting.

So far i've signed 14 players, all for free since I wasn't even given the option to have a transfer budget.

So far I've won all my friendlies... I expect the league games to be a lot tougher though.

Default Half way through the first season

Now I've played 22 games with Spartak and we're above the relegation zone... lots of draws at first, but now we've won three on the trot.

A tip for all of you trying to keep Spartak up.... sign Peter Sedunov from Boden (Swedish Div 1 North) He's russian and a great striker and also a great centre back. He's scored about 10 goals for me. Best of all, he's free and if you offer him wages around 2000 k / w he'll sign.

See League Table in screenshot.

I tell you what, this is so hard to do (obviously as only one person has done it so far), I think Fed should seriously think of making an award for everyone that does it.

I admit that I had a go and I'm ashamed to admit that I gave up after about 4 or 5 games. I just got dominated in every match.

God know's how you lot managed to win some.

Hi Liveru!

I also almost quit after a couple of games in the league, but everything changed when I got Sedunov on free and changed my tactics to almost Ultra Defensive. Then I played even with most teams, therefore I have a alot of draws as you can see in the league table in my previous post.

I think this is a very fun and challenging task and I will definetly continue to try to take Spartak to the Premier....if we survive this year in RD1.

Default Survivors!

Yes! We made it. A really tough struggle at the end of the season. I have started pre-season for the 2008 season and this year I've got a debt of about 85k, but now I got a wage budget of about 12 k/w instead of 0.5 k/w so this means I can even take a few k's from the wage budget to buy som new players, also sold one of my strikers for 70k.

I enclose the finals League Table, my transfers for 2007 season and one screen where one of my players made it in the dream team... he was also the leagues top scorer with 32 goals.






Russian Premier here we come!

ye, especially as i got 20 pts from my last 10 games! i fired my asst manager near the end of the season and got in a guy with 17 motivation and 12 man management and it helped a lot (i'm lazy and use "asst man to do team talks" and just tweak it a bit ;) lol)
