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:

Thanks Bowser, I didnt even now that It`s without a lost game :) I`m just angry with the draws and I always concede in the last 10 min. 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.

38 games a season right? So you still have 18 games to catch up 8 points to first place. Not impossible, but will be hard. Keep it up!
