Default Lyon

As you can see I am trying my hand at Olympique Lyonnais or Lyon for short...

I started of with a bang.. I won the Trophee des Champions. I was on a roll and all of a sudden I end up 5th at the end of my first year.. And I won the Coupe de France for Lyon their first since '73.. Which saved me from being sacked..

League Table 06/07

As you can see I had a bunch of draws.. And that cost me some positions..

During that time frame I bought and sold players...

I have been just playing around and free spending on people like Allback, Dahlberg and Lucas as you can see on the Transfer Ins on my second season.. I am trying to built a some what good team to just sweep the French titles year to year and might get lucky and win the CL or UC.

how did you not win the league in 1st season? lyon have by far the strongest team in france. I wouldnt of sold tiago, malouda or Cris to be honest either that may of cost you a fair few points in the league.

Lucas is an extremely good buy, not so sure about your other signings though, i feel you may need another strong CB, but apart from that you should win the league with the squad you have.

Yeah.. I kind of miss judged the sales that I did in my first season and went on searching for some people. I was thinking about going young and stuff but ended up losing in the long run..

hummm i would definatly not sold ben afra as hes turns quality, in my opinion you should of won the league easy but you have sold quality players and not brought enough strength in at all, eric abidal could of also been a bad sale. The good point is lucas came in who is good but you need more top players to boost the squad. keep it going and try not to sell the best players before buying back up

Well.. I have been playing and Lyon has been under achieving and such... But out of the blew River Plate comes out and approaches me... They are also under achieving and looking for a new boss...

Also I got a pressure group rising since I am doing pretty poorly as of now.

Updates for this game of mine will be coming shortly... I play a loaded game meaning I load up every single league and play it out.

I am going to start a new game but the next game is going to be a career game.. Meaning I'll start at some team and try to win and continue my character until he is to old to coach...

Ok. My second season with Lyon ended as a disaster. I finished 8th. And Paris won Ligue 1 again a back to back effort on them. So during the summer transfer I revamped my team somewhat again in a year.

Checked out Juninho profile and it said He dislikes Fred and Lucas. Yeah you get the picture. I sold Kallstrom and Toulalan to Ajax for about 13.75 million and 15 million respectfully. Fred left to Hamburg for 30 million and Lucas left to Palermo for 21.5 million.

So to help with the missing Striker position I went and got Odemwingie from Lille for 35.5 million. Shelled out 14.75 million for Shane Long from Reading.

So I'm into my third season and winning games. Played Reims in the season opener won 3-2 they were leading 1-0 at the break. Goals were from Baros who came on as a sub for Wiltford at left wing. And Shane Long the other scorer. The second game I played Bordeux tied 0-0 at break. Won the game 2-0, Shane Long scored both of them.

Updates will gradually come. And pictures for the transfers and standings and etc. Will be up soon.

jeez mate, Odemwingie aint worth 35.5 mil. I would have bought Cesaer Delgado instead, only 4.5mil and is way better.Don't think Long is worth 14mil either mate.

BTW hope it goes well for ya this season


Current Game

SV Red Bull Salzburg

Austrian Bundesliga Champions 2007/2008
Austrian Super Cup Winners 2008

Hang on I better say "Red Bull, it gives you wings" or ill be sacked

Yeah. Well I guess the cpu got me there. And got me bad on the selling part. I suck badly at buying and selling players.

Also should I get Augero cause I did an enquiry and Athletico wants 72 million if he decides to come should I grab in at the spot?

Dont worry pictures are coming. It is going to show how bad my economics are and Pray for me not to play stocks in real life, LOL.

72 Million :O NO WAY! hes good but no 1 is worth that m8i, bid low and work your way up slowly and he could probs get him for around 20 MAX!

I sugguest that you scout your targets a few times first before you sign them and see what your scouts say if you arent sure m8i.

Ok. Lyon played Toulouse for the third game of the season. Tied 0-0 at the half and by the end of the game lost 1-0.

Lyon then played Troyes in the fourth game of the season and won 2-0, goals were scored by Kapo (new signing) and Long.

Lyon then played Lille for the fifth game of the season and were favorites to win the game. Odemwingie came back from and ankle sprain and was picked to play against his former team. Lost 2-0. Both Goals came from Lille's new striker Moussa Dembele. Lille was leading 2-0 at the half and Lyon couldn't get anything going and lost.

Man. If you guys see the transfer outs irl for Lyon my gosh. A bunch of talent left. It would be astonishing if they won the ligue title with all those people gone. Cause the other teams are getting loaded.
