I have a game still on 9.2 where I am AFC Wimbledon - now in the Premiership and finding it easier than the Championship which is odd; at least in terms of I think i will avoid relegation.
AFC Wimbledon are a good side to start as when you are so low down the divisions - they have high support and better players than many teams.
I managed to get a link to Tottenham and I used that to good effect getting loan players and picking up free transfers from Spurs when the players were released or were out of contract as either I was a favourite manager or the club was by then a favourite club.
My two main strikers in years have been Dag Alexander Olsen (Spurs Reserves) and Morten Neilsen (Chelsea Reserves) both obtained on a free over the years.
Really enjoying it in the Prem now and have just signed Alex Teixera this season and he's been phenomenal (2013) - played 8 scored 7 assists 3 MoM 2 rating 7.55...
I even got offered the Barca job along the way check out the attached screenie.
I'm hoping to avoid relegation in my first season in the Prem, then Europe next year, then maybe a title challenge after - depends if I can make some money and get the right signings; we'll see...
