Long time no see guys... sorry for failing to update on this one, but I've had a lot on my hands recently (not that I'm complaining though!) :) Anyway, seeing as I haven't had that much time to play FM recently, I thought I'd just pop in and fill you in on how things are going for me & AFC...

What HAS actually happened to the club? Fair enough, they're expected to go up in their first season, but other than that they're not much better than most other bsn/bss sides. Oh well, cheat or not, I'm pretty much enjoying it and that's what really matters at the end of the day. Furthermore, I...

Playing with AFC Telford. Players I've kept and I could recommend - Jimmy Turner (RB), Jarred Stevens (ST), Steven Jagielka (M / DM). Bought the following players: Darren Barnard (DL) for 2K up front + 2K after many many league appearances & months Anthony Barry (M / DM) 0K Simon Spender (DR)...

I'm playing Weston-super-Mare for some Cup next month... will keep you posted :D

Oh and btw could someone please provide the link for that afore-mentioned Gregory / AFC Wimbledon? I'm curious as to how far that chap managed to get the Dons :] Good luck with Super Weston mate, would be interesting to see which one of us manages to reach the Premiership first :)

8. November 2008 Three months, three Manager of the Month awards. As Mike de Stampers aptly put it "That's quite nice, I must say, and once again I would like to thank everybody at the Academy..." In other news, Darren Barnard has been given the Player of the Month award for October, which is...

Keep an eye on players who have been released by their clubs in the world-> transfers list mate. Some of them are absolute gems (well, at least for a Blue Square club they are), but you would never be able to scout them since you can only scout players within England. That's how I got a quality...

Wonderful mate, thank you so much! I have the feeling that the Enhancer is generally a huge improvement in bass output, which should be a nice surprise for my father who has recently purchased a set of nice speakers for his notebook, but they definitely lack the power to deliver nice bass...

Darren Barnard, Zlatko Yankov and Mustapha Hadji are all crucial to my success, at least at Blue Square level (within the first 2 seasons). Barnard and Hadji are 36, Yankov is 42! They have all done really well and are among my top performers... Since my aim is to go straight up to the...

@glendaman5: trust me mate, I may have been ironic, but saying that cesc and nasri are useless and not being able to find decent talent among the Arsenal U18... well to me that really did sound as if someone was having a bubble. But since you're obviously serious about this, apart from the...

Wait a second, let me get this straight: You're struggling to buy anyone while managing one of the richest clubs in Europe, You want to replace Fabregas AND Nasri, two of the most talented players in FM, You cannot find a decent replacement despite Arsenal's huge knowledge base, AND you have...

Great to see that there are other guys who are also into lower league management :) Good luck mates and make sure you keep us posted! As to AFC Telford, here's what new manager Mike de Stampers has put down in his Manager Diary (no, I did not steal it, but don't ask how I got it...): 8. July...

blaineboy, that's a good approach and that's generally what I do myself... During pre-season I set all players to the same Fitness training regime - heavy training with a focus on... you guessed it, fitness. After that, everyone gets their respective regime - GK, WB, DC, W, AMC, DMC, ST...

I don't think there are any "great" tactics per se this year. Sure, long ball 4-4-2 works well for all weaker sides, but after all the qualities of Blue Square Prem / North / South players are pretty much the same and there's hardly anyone who really stands out. Instead of focusing on creating...

I just checked out Tugs training setups and apparently they're 80% the same as the ones I've developed myself... Which goes to show that training is all based on common sense and there are hardly any special things you'd want to consider, especially if you've had success with setting up your own...
