Bring the crystal to Crystal- A crystal Palace story

i think a solid center back is tommy smith from ipswich he was voted player of the year in my save and easily held his own in premiership

Transfers

No more than eight players joined us and you will recognize some.

The first Signing was to replace Jon Williams and his name is Nicky Law and he joins from Rangers so we will be on the lookout for fights between Tony and him.
View attachment 374294

Second signing was Shaun Cummings that will spend this first half of the season in the Reserve squad as i forgot to register him.
View attachment 374295

this guy was the one i was choosing between when i signed James Husband and in the end he joined a year later instead so the LB position is covered. His name is Mitch Hanxoc
View attachment 374296
This guy you all will remember as he spent half the season on loan at ous last year. i wasnt planning on signing him but as he impressed in Stoke i felt forced to. Its of course Federico Macheda im talking about.

View attachment 374297

Then we went on and signed another player that was here last year. this time it was Steven De Ridder
View attachment 374298

just to destroy for Southampton i loaned Billy Sharp. no im just joking it is a good loan but i forget to register him for the league so he will be in the reserves squad.
View attachment 374299

our only free signing so far was Fabrizio Cacciatore who i didn't register i didn't forget i just didn't want him in the first team as i wasn't thinking when i signed him.
View attachment 374300

Last signing was the player who i got tipped to buy. of course im talking about Tommy Smith!

he has been playing like a Premier League striker showing great eye for the game and running at perfect times.​

Your squad was not very good to start with but you havent bought well (aside from people like Macheda/Watt) and you continue not to buy well (ie improve the standard of your squad) for the second season. Tho your squad is good enuff to mean that you re unlikely to struggle to get out of the Champo ...

Yeah ive noticed that. maybe rename the story to a noob tries to play FM?

Nope! Story is good. And what you are doing is a challenge. DONT GIVE UP! I would invest in getting 8/9 of the best scouts available (Ceolin/Renatinho/Aburquerque/Montgomery etc) send them around the world and gradually build a squad.

 

[samillyroy]

mate, story is good but I would have some questions about the signings. 5m for husband is obscene, I paid 300k for him, I just waited until his contract came into last season. Don't buy just on how good they might be, you need players who are going to be good straight away and also only pay value when youre on a budget like palace's!! Don't pay over the odds like that and track players for a number of seasons until there contracts go down so you get them for better money.

good luck with second season though, its a good story!

This is easily the best story on here. It's refreshing to see someone struggle. Sorry if this comes across cruel but I am in my work pi**ing myself at this. I'm hoping for a hulk hoganesque comeback here. Wag that finger!

-Hi and welcome to the nine news my name is Charlie Graff

-And today we will start with reporting the Manager Krister Karlson has been sacked at Crystal Palace after their horrible run of form.

-Krister Karlson started as a coach for Crystal Palace on Tuesday the 17th of July and managed the for fourteen months.

-We asked the Crystal Palace fans what they fought of Krister being sacked.

-(reporter) What do you think of Krister Being sacked?

-(Martin Wolffish) Its good that they finally fired that stupid guy he couldn't managed for ****. Glad to see him leaving today. I was even there when he left.

-(reporter) What do you mean was there when he left?

-(Martin) Ohh i was there signing for him. We sung "ole ole ole ole bye bye Krister bye bye Krister"

-(reporter) wasn't that a Little cruel?

-(martin) nah he deserved it.

-We have to cut here as more Crystal fans were starting to get threatening to Krister wife and kids.

-The Managers who are in the low odds for taking over Crystal Palace is Ian Holloway who left when Krister got sacked and a nobody named Daniel Strandberg who has been very successful in the lower leagues in Sweden.

We just got a phone call from our reporter from Selhurst Park were they are saying the the unknown manager Daniel Strandberg will take over Crystal Palace starting from now.

-Thats all we got time for today we will see you tomorrow.

4 goals in five games was a surprise versus what we seen before so he gets this month POTM

he has 12 in determination and no intention of joining the club. will see if i can lure him over anyway

DONT! He is exactly the sort of player you tend to buy when you should NOT!

Try to get in Mate Simao instead and retrain as a cb if you want (so he can play as: cb/dm/anchor man/cm) OR Syanda Xulu OR Mateus (20yo cb Brazilian) OR Eric Sviatchenko.\

Edit: I see you bought DEAN WHITEHEAD. He's better than your other buys but only just.

Also can we have a screen shot of your formation/tactics/team instructions. Have you changed them since re-taking over?

Boo! What am i supposed to do in work all day. Reading this thread made me feel like anything was possible.
You need to start treating Crystal Palace like Walter White treats Crystal Meth. Make THEM your b*tch. Your the boss!
How dare they sack you.
