I'm starting as Fulham.

Never managed them before so I'm not to sure where to start. The board want me to avoid relegation and I think I can do that.

TEAM



I have a wage budget of £470k p/w and £2.87m to spend on transfers.

I'm going to try and spend nothing in my first season. Wish me luck

walkinshaw

Good luck with that

Cheers Liveru

thorn19uk

Thanks

Here is the resulf from my first game in charge.



Also sold Philippe Christanval to Crystal Palace for £775,000

thorn19uk

Well thats the friendlys over with and I think I know which players I want and where to improve. Five games, four wins and one draw.

Friendlys



Best win has to be this one, with McBride coming off the bench in the second half to score a hattrick.

Dtheta

Good luck with this one.
Keep McBride fit as you will need him if your going to stay up in first season

thorn19uk

Well 10 games in and here are my results so far.



Not bad results, I beat Chelsea 1:0

Only five wins and two of them were in the cup. I'm sitting in 12th place at the moment and I'm finding it hard to score McBride not doing it for me and Healy is not much better.

My original choice not to buy anyone in the first season has changed I got Logan Bailly from Genk for £750k and I have Richard Hughes on loan from Portsmouth. I may have to look at a forward in the January transfer window.

Will post every 10 games or so.

Try eddie Johnson and Bouazza up front mate or play johnson off mcbride, Johsnosn stats aint great but his pace will bag you goals, he allways does somehow lol

Cheers Liveru

Dtheta

let dempsey roam around behind your forwards, he tended to bag a few goals for me. Altho he lost his place to marin

ionutd

a little tip: the moment you take the team you're presented with the season expectancies to confirm (avoid relegation, challange for the title, winner, european cups etc.) Chose a higher one than you expect your team to achieve, you will get a higher transfer and wage budget and they won't fire you if the team does worse than you said. Well not much worse :)

thorn19uk

So here are my next 10 games played



I have been messing with my formation and I now have McBride up front on his own with Kamara behind him. The goals have started to come.

As you can see it is working with 6 wins in my last 10 games, I'm also through to the League Cup semi final.

My next four games are going to be hard with Tottenham, Liverpool, Man U and Chelsea I don't think I will get many points. Also I have brought Dietmar Hamann from Man City for £180k hope he can help in front of my back four, won't get him for another month until the January window.

WozzaWolves

Your doing fantastic mate! Great signing in Hamann! KIU!

thorn19uk

Thanks Wozza

Here are my last ten games..........



I already had Bouazza out with a long term injury and then Nemi puts himself out with a 2 month injury, right before the four biggest games of the season so far. Keller did well stepping into the number one shirt.

As you will see from the screenshot I did well against Liverpool (nice 3-0 win) but lost to Chelsea, Man U and Tottenham. Six wins out of ten again for my team. I'm sitting th in the league.

I'm into the final of the League Cup where I will play Man U.

Signings in the January window for me are as follows.



I got Buffel on loan from Rangers to cover Bouazza while he is injured. I have to say he is playing well for me 2 goals in 2 games. I hope he keeps doing that.

oh and as you can see I'm using a nice new skin.

WozzaWolves

Lol, nice new skin ;)

Good luck against United. Sure you can beat them!

Come on Fulham!

thorn19uk

Right here is my next 10 games.

Let me start by saying I beat Man U in the League Cup final !!!!!!!!!

Now the bad news only won 4 games in the last 10 and 3 of them were cup games. Still sitting in 11th place with McBride having scored 25 goals for me, the suprise is Bocanegra with 12 goals from set pieces for me.

Not out of the FA cup by Arsenal

Should have done better but I have been missing Konchesky, Niemi and Bouazza to injury.

Last ten here

thorn19uk

Thats it first season over with. I'm pleased with my final position of 11th.

League Table


The best things to happen this season were my League Cup win over Man U giving me European football next season and Brian McBride finishing as top scorer in the league with 31 goals.




Oh and here is my last games of the season.


So here is to next season, I have Andrew Surman coming from Southampton for £3.6m and I need to get a solid CB.

Looking forward to European football, don't think I will last long but it will be a laugh.

thorn19uk

McBride won Europes Top Marksman


This is now the start of my second season in charge.

My team were picked as the overachievers of the season but I still fell 31 places to 114th in the world rankings

There have been a few changes in the off season, here are my Transfers

IN

Denis Souza from Barnsley for £900,000
Stephen Quinn from Sheff Utd for £45,000
Thomas Buffel from Rangers for £1,100,000 ( he did well for me on loan last season)
Marcus Pode from FC Nordsjaelland for £500,000

OUT

Ian Pearce to Peterborough for £14,000
Brede Hangeland to Mallorca for £450,000
Alexey Smertin to Portsmouth for £500,000

Also got Ron Reid from Sheff Utd as my attacking coach.

The board want a mid table finish which I hope to do. Well here goes.

I will post every ten matches or so, wish me luck.

thorn19uk

Doing well so far in my second season. I'm sitting 8th in the league and got to the group stage of the Euro cup.

here are my results...............



Two nice big wins over Portsmouth and Preston.

I spent my transfer budget on just one player ( hope he is worth it )

Juan Arango



He cost me £10.5m

WozzaWolves

Jebus, that's a risk, looks like he may be worth it though!

GL and KIU

oO SioS Oo

Stats look good so he should be decent, on an update i used to have Liverpool or Spurs used to sign him so i think he should do fine for you :) keep it up ;)

walkinshaw

Nice stuff mate. Arango looks ace, also how the hell McBride bag 37 goals lol

Cheers Liveru
