LOSC Lille Metropole I decided to start a new game to rest for a while from my other games. As I never managed a team in France, the decision was easy - let`s go to France. With the country selected the decision to choose the team was much harder. My first choice was obvious - Lyon. However after reading a bit on FMF I decided to look elswhere because with Lyon I didn`t think that it would be a challenge. So after looking at the french league I decided for Lille, dont know why exatly, but they seemed to be the right choice for a middle table team. For my surprise they had a good amount of transfer money and the wage budget was nice as well. Team sheet: Nation: France Year founded: 1944 Status: Professional Reputation: National Chairman status: Loves the club Fierce rivals: RC Lens, PSG Other rivals: Marseille, Valenciennes, FC Dunkerque, Wasquehal, Man UTD Finances: OK Estimated value: 42.5 M Euro Stadium: Lille Metropole, Villeneuve-d`Ascq (Due to move into the 50000 Stade de la Borne de l`Espoir on 1.7.2010) Stadium capacity: 18086 all seated Training facilities: Top training facilities Youth facilities: Average youth facilities + Yout Academy Continental competition: None Media prediction: 11 Squad average: 24 Transfer budget: 35 888 767 M Euro Wage salary: 440 000 k / w So with the nice amount of cash in the pocket I decided to get some new players into my team. After looking at the squad I definetely needed some defenders and a striker, maybe some attacking midfielders as well. I had to many defensive midfielders. Good ones, top star is Makoun, who attracted interest from the season start, but I didnt want to sell him. It was not easy, even with the cash it was very dificult to bring someone in, most of the players where not interested to join Lille :( Transfers in: Durica, Jan DLC - 4.5m - Saturn Soley, Seyfo DC - free Chaurant, Oswaldo AMRLC - 12k - Deportivo Tachira Pawel, Kozub FC - 375k - Legia - loaned out to Charleroi Guilherme AMC/FC - 7.5m - Cruzeiro Corradini, Eros GK - 180k - Parma Danilinho AMC/FC - 7.25m - Atletico Mineiro Pogrebnyak, Pavel ST - 9.5m - Zenit Grendel, Erik AMRL - 250k - Dubnica Sorbon, Jeremy DRC - 2m - Caen I was very happy with the signing of Danilinho, Guilherme and Pogrebnyak. These 3 players should be the base for my team. Transfers out: None :(, nobody want`s the players I listed for transfer. Maybe later. Future transfers in: Breno DC - 1.8m - Sao Paulo - 1.1.2008 Gavish, Oded SW/DC - 26k - M.Petach-Tikva - 10.8.2008 Hansson, Dennis ST - free - 12.12.07 Jimenez, Luis AMC - 2.3m 1.7.2008 Nazarith, Christian FC - 325k - America - 13.7.2008 I`m looking forward to see Breno and Jimenez in action. Tactic: I started with my own tactic 4-1-2-1-2: GK:Sylva DL:Tafforeau DC:Durica DC:Soley / Plestan DR:Beria / Sorbon DMC:Makoun ML:Obraniak MR:Chaurant AMC:Danilinho FC:Pogrebnyak Target man FC:Guilherme It wasn`t bad, but I had from the first 10 games 5 draws. Now I`m playing this: Kimz_8.0.2_No Tweaking v2, but I play only with 1 DM and 1 ML. I tryed this tactic in the last two games and I won both, scoring 7 against 4. GK:Sylva DL:Tafforeau DC:Durica DC:Soley / Plestan DR:Beria / Sorbon DMC:Makoun ML:Obraniak AML:Guilherme AMC:Chaurant AMR:Danilinho FC:Pogrebnyak After playing 16 games this is how the table looks:  Please fell free to ask for screenies, comments are welcome.

In many games like against Auxerre,Saint-ettiene,PSG,Starssbourg,Lens I was up by 1,2 or even 3 goals and I conceded in the last 10min. :( There`s something to work on. | Click the sig for my current game.  | | | 03-10-08, 01:59 PM | #8 (permalink) | | Important First Team Player Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: In Norfolk Posts: 529 Thanks: 15 Thanked 65 Times in 61 Posts Nominated 3 Times in 1 Post TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 | Very good results there mate.

So you still have 18 games to catch up 8 points to first place. Not impossible, but will be hard.
