So iv entered into a network game with my housemates.
We all decided to pick the lower end teams of the Premiership, more accurately all the W's.
Wigan
West Ham
Wolves
West Brom
I would consider myself to be quite a good FM player especially at finding players, or more precisely at procuring players. Think of me as the Sven Goran Eriksson of the FM world. So with West Ham I have managed to get hold of some quite interesting and talented players. However, I did make two mistakes in the transfer window and let two good players leave. But with my current form and experience id say that I am doing anything but down right ******!
Heres what iv done so far:
IN:
Jozy Altidore (Valencia)
Kiko (Hercules)
Itay Shehter (Tel-Aviv)
Mahamadou Diarra (Real Madrid)
Jo (Man City)
Oguchi Onyewu (Ac Milan)
Yoric Ravet (GF 38)
OUT:
Jonathan Spector
Julien Faubert (loaned out)
Manuel da Costa
Junior Stanislas (regret)
Danny Gabbidon
Benni McCarthy
Valon Behrami (regret)
Stuck with: (players iv tried to get sell)
Kieron Dyer
Luís Boa Morte
Frédéric Piquionne
Tried to loan out these guys/sell them but no one was interested.
Now in my first four fixtures I have failed to get any points.
Chelsea - lost 3-1
Everton - lost 2-0
Bolton - lost 1-0
Birmingham - lost 2-1
The Everton and Chelsea games were none starters but the Bolton and Birmingham games were just un-fortunate. Lars Jacobsen missed a penalty in the Bolton game and Upson scored an own goal in the Birmingham game.
So far iv been using the 4-5-1 tactic, with default settings.
Also the transfer deadline has passed - which is kinda good since I dont think buying more players will help my situation. However I think what I need is a decent LB and RB. Jacobssen and Ilunga arent the greatest of players.
My starting 11 is:
Itay Shehter (ST) (im using Jo, Cole and Altidore in roation but considering I have four strikers I should really be using a formation which uses at least two a game)
Yoric Ravet (AM R)
Pablo Barrera (AM L)
Parker (CM)
Noble (CM)
Diaara (DM)
Ilunga (LB)
Onyewu (CB)
Upson (CB)
Jacobsen (RB)
Green (GK)
I think I just need to concentrate on the players I have and hopefully rectify this disaster. The team is a bit of a mess and im not sure if iv bought well at all, as I havent really fixed the areas where I need players... but yeh any advice would be much appreciated.
