Lol thats my local team and that Zak Graham went to my school used to train with him lol he was 2 years above me lol we used to train with the older kids

razzleman · 26-07-08, 04:46 PM

Excellent read, top marks. I am not doing half as well with my Sutton team. Even trying to pick up tips along the way.
Just brilliant. Keep up the good work.

simik · 26-07-08, 08:30 PM

superb effort in about 6 years i think u will be in epl

razzleman · 28-07-08, 12:13 PM

Just started a new game with Sutton and see if I can do as well. So far played 10 games got 19 points and in 4th place. That Ismael Ehui from Fulham on loan is ace, played 5 games and scored 10 goals so far. Even trying the tactic but its leaving the space for the opposition to get through. Goals 21 for 15 against. Also got on loan James Tomkins, Kyel Reid, Ali Fuseini, Tony Stokes, Andrew Howell and Luis Cumbers. Its the best start I have ever had in FM.

**Hartynips** · 29-07-08, 05:37 AM

Thats a big blow losing Sears to injury but I'm sure a man of your calibre can overcome that!

Hey Raz, why dont you create a Sutton thread too then you and Mufc7 can compare games?

BirdyFC · 29-07-08, 10:38 AM

Hopefully you return to this soon and get Sutton away from those relegation places. Fantastic job to get Sutton this far. KUTGW

razzleman · 29-07-08, 06:19 PM

Well Hartynips, I would like to, but I do not have the time or the knowhow how to set a thread up like Mufc7. He must have spend so much time on it I wonder if he goes to bed at all, or does he had a job to go to. That is some thread he has set up I could not get anywhere near as good. I am just an old timer who just enjoys trying (and I mean trying to get better at this game). I know that tactics are just one the important factors to get to grips with but even with all the help on the site I am still struggling. I must admit I do not put any cheats in or stupid tactics that are around. Its just that I like to play FM the way its meant to be played. As you probably have seen I have 3 games on the go. My first main one is Oxford where I am in season 8 and trying to get promotion from Div 1 which I have been in for the last 4 seasons. I just seem to hit a brick wall in my games at a certain point. Another Team I have is Wexford Youths which I find is dam hard having no wages to pay and started the game nearly half a million quid in the red. So I thought I would try and emulate this Sutton thread game which I started ok. In fact I was doing better being in third place after only 11 games and then suddenly I find myself losing games, and I can't figure out why. It seems as soon as I get near the top of a div all the other teams seem to be playing 10 times better than before. Or is it just me. But even so Istill like the game even though other people find the game easy to play and so get a team from the Bue Star to the Premier in half a dozen seasons. Do people use cheats to get to the top or not. Who knows????

**liveru** · 29-07-08, 08:50 PM

Well, I don't use cheats.

I'm in my third season with Thurrock and I've only gone up one league, lol.

This is a great read by the way. Keep up the good work.

ben_dimarko · 07-08-08, 02:43 PM

This month has been outstanding and we have turned the team around so well getting more wins against the bigger sides, i hope that this form will stay with us through the course of the season.

I have been busy trying to get new faces into the team and also have been looking at the sale of a few players recently, but you will have to stay tuned for the news on the players.

Thanks for reading and being patient as it has taken so long to get back online i took a random guess of 1 month for the internet to be sorted and it took 2 months due to the BT line not getting sorted for a while then also the length of time to un-freeze my internet account and get online but that's another subject. all i really want to say is that i am back!

leachy-boi91 · 12-09-08, 08:39 PM

well done on 10th mate.. hopefully you can slowly creep up the league :D:D
