We had a large discussion on the last forums about this in another persons thread (sorry MarchingOn ) So I figured here we should probably have our own thread! Just wondering if you are still with your crappy teams Ace and how they are turning out?

Shrewsbury is a 3 and a half star team!!! still a long way to go to the Barclay's league to roll with the big boys though....
honestly now I have a small budget, it' so frustrating scouting players!!! I would find someone with like 71-91 potential and overall of 58-71, the next month AFTER signing the guy, his potential is like 71-75 and overall of 59-61.
On the brightside, most of my starters are in the high 60s, low 70s now

On the brightside, most of my starters are in the high 60s, low 70s now I am in a similar position with Bristol Rovers.. although i have alot more money and a 5 star scout.. Still not bringing it really great players but I am hopeful! I have lucked out in Free agency the past few years and brought in some players who got me a nice some of money!

Sometimes they do.. sometimes they don't you kinda have to make your money slowly.. I have been avoiding promotion for 2 years and will avoid another year in the N power Champ because I just can't afford the better players.. I'm not sure if they increase it a bunch or not..
You really need to win the F.A and the Euro champ cups.. you get about 3m for winning each of them.

Like my league objective the past two years in the Npower champs is Avoid Relegation and finish mid table.. I have finished high in the table both years but lost just enough games that I stay out of the promotion area. Not as hard as you'd think. Now winning the F.A. and the Euro is hard but its not impossible.. you just have to play extremely smart against the good teams. I won both last season and I am in the Semi Finals of both this year.. Its extremely tough but its soo worth it! Also keep watching the free agents market! if there is a guy who is worth a big transfer fee stop at nothing to get him! I gave up the remainder of my wages the one year to sign Mandzukic who ended up netting me a nice 17m Also this is like the year of the injury for me... my two best defenders are injured, both of my strikers have been out multiple times this season.. my two CM's have had injuries galore.. its getting frustrating having to juggle my team around and not having my best players.. esepcially with Man City coming up in the FA semi final!

Yes you can receive more money at the end of seasons if you do good. I finished last season with like 19m and wage budget of like 57k .. This year I started with 20m and 100k

I have the game for my iPod. I play Manager mode the most, and with Aresenal. I play a 4-5-1, I have bought one player and sold more than five. My scout has got two starters and two backups. The two starters both play CB, one is 93 already (named Rojas), the other is 79 (named Carey). My backups from scouting: A ST named Short at 76 OVR, and a RWM named Konadu at 70 OVR.
My current starters:
ST: Robin van Persie - 88 RWM: Theo Walcot - 82 LWM: Landon Donovan (USA bias... he was cheap IIRC) - 81 CAM: Gervinho - 84 LCM: Mikel Arteta - 80 RCM: Wilshere - 82 RB: Sanga - 83 RCB: Carey - 79 LCB: Rojas - 93 LB: Vermaelen - 77 (would be Mertesacker, but he's hurt) GK: Szczesny - 83
My current budget is 14,689,969 EPL: 13-10-2 record. Second behind ManU. (42 GF, 25 GA, +17 GD) League cup: I lost... FA Cup: Still alive
First season, have had the game since July 5th, and have the CPU difficulty at Proffesional.

@ Panther.. I have only one problem with your team.. Why do you have Mertesacker playing LB?? he is the slowest person in the game That plus his size makes him a beast in the middle! Or does he normally play where Carey is and then you bump Carey outside or something like that??
