Im very shocked that no body at all has gone in for Malcom Christie banged in goals on 07 and now 08 come on you greens.

Anyone looking to poach players from plymouth you might want to try:
marcel cb
david norris amr
pete halmosi aml (simply brilliant easily prem)
Ebanks blake st

[waterwolf]

Edin Husic - cheapish DM who can pass the ball pretty well too
Carlos Saez & Samuel - both AM's from Rayo, seem to have a bit of quality for the future
Dor Malul - cheap versatile DR, was highly recommended. looks ok for the price
Mark Howard - solid, young DC for this league. has enough to get by

Charlton Athletic

Transfer budget: 1m (Promotion) 1.3m (Winners)
Wage budget: 130k (Promotion) 160k (Winners)
Media Prediction: 1st

Best starting team in 442:

GK: Weaver
RB: Mills
LB: Powell
CB: Bougherra/Sodje
CB: Gibbs
RM: Ambrose
LM: Reid
CM: Zheng Zhi/Semedo
CM: Holland
ST: Varney
ST: Iwelumo/Todorov

In my opinion the left side needs strengthening. Chrissy Powell is a legend but is becoming too old. Reid is a natural CM but needs to be played on the left until you get a better winger. 1 more out and out goalscorer wouldn't be a miss, someone like Nicky Maynard, Kevin Phillips or Matty Fryatt would be good.

Players that need to go are Thatcher, Fortune + Thomas. You will get no more than 500k for Thatcher or Fortune but they are not needed at all and are generally clumsy at the back. You can get 1.5m for Thomas, stats wise he isn't that bad but he is very inconsistent and not as good as Reid who isn't a natural winger.

The centre of midfield is very strong but i'm looking at brining in Nacer Barazite as he is all round pretty good and will only get better. A good LB would be Steven Hammell but he could get quite pricy. Putting Moutaouakil/Mills at LB could be a short term solution. Lee Martin on loan from Man Utd will be good enough for the LM spot, possibly Kyel Reid if you can't get Martin. I'm also trying to get Peter Clarke to bolster the defence.

The key players in the team are Cory Gibbs, Luke Varney, Danny Mills and Yassin Moutaouakil. Josh Wright + Harry Arter have alot of potential too.

so i've done my 6months today with QPR, currently 1st, 6 points ahead of watford.

I had Ben Sahar obviously on loan, but his loan finished January 2nd so he's not on the squad list, he scored 10 in 22 games.

God i hope this save loads when the actual game finally comes out!!!

I'm playing as Southampton. We're rather low on funds (100K transfer fund...)we don't have much in real life , and I've not had much luck selling players, barring Bradley Wright-Phillips, who has a stupid 50% sell on clause, so you only get half the fee...that clause is there in the deal bringing him here, read reports from the time

For some reason, we're predicted to finish 3rd. Last season, we finished 6th, we sold 3 of our best players (Bale, Baird and Jones) and haven't really replaced them, and now we're expected to finish 3rd? What idiot thought of that? the bookies irl had joint 3rd at the start of the season

Anyway, I brought in a few loans - Wheater (DC from 'Boro), Nemeth (ST from Liverpool) and Eagles (AMRC from Man Utd) and they seem to be playing reasonably well.

Good luck with the Saints

Darryl Flahavan was awesome and cheap on fm07, will someone check him out on fm08 for me.

[waterwolf]

check out Kwabena Agouda too. not sure if he has random stats, but he can be a great striker for the Championship

[waterwolf]

ive also just found Cristian Nazarith. i cant scout him but his value is only £16k and he looks a great prospect!

Reid is a natural CM but needs to be played on the left until you get a better winger. 1 more out and out goalscorer wouldn't be a miss, someone like Nicky Maynard, Kevin Phillips or Matty Fryatt would be good.

Holland is also getting old, although decent all round for the Championship, isn't very creative or good going forward in general.

Ambrose is very inconsistent just like Thomas, though slightly harder working and more of a goalscorer.
