Decided to go against the grain a bit with my signings as I'd signed Van Der Vaart about 5 times in the demo and wanted to mix things up a bit in the full game
My team so far
GK Carson
DR Sergey Ignasevich
DC Curtis Davies
DC Zat Knight
DL Joleon Lescott
MR Tranquilo Barnetta
MC Nigel Reo-Coker
ML Gareth Barry
AMC Renato Augusto (class)
FC Carew
FC Guilherme
I'm going to need a new GK and a striker at some point, no cash right now tho, also another def would be nice, Augusto is immense at AMC tho

Worst start ever.
1st game - Man U at Old Trafford. lost 5-1. Played absolute crap, pass completion was awful. I only saw 3 passes go to the intended target.
2nd game - Chelsea at Villa Park. Lost 8-1!!! Don't know where to start. Players again couldn't pass to save their life. May as well have played the game with no midfield or defence. Every attack Chelsea had turned into a goal. Confusingly, even though I set Closing Down to maximum, my players were sitting back and giving them all the time they needed to score 5 from 30 yard shots.
Next up - Liverpool at Anfield. I'm predicting another caning. 6-1 anyone? Complete tactical overhaul now, going Bolton and playing route 1 all the way.
Woo. I don't care what happens in this game, I'm just playing now out of pure stubbornness.

Getting better. Only lost 4-2 against Liverpool. It was going quite well for 60 minutes (2-2) but Sissoko's defence-splitting mazy runs (yeah, that's what I thought) were too much.
Anyway, Wigan next so I'll be expecting a result.

played 2 seasons now.
First players signed were Diego - werder bremen £20mil and Modric £4mil.

Lined up with a 4-2-3-1
GK: Carson
DL: Bouma
DR : Mellberg
DC: Knight
DC: Davies
MC: Reo Coker
MC: Barry
AML: Young
AMR Modric
AMC: Diego
FC:Carew/Moore.
Signed Vedran Corluka for £20mil, and carson for £6.5mil in close season and some young prospects.
Just finsihed 5th and got to quarters of CL losing to inter (although i won 1-0 away)
Diego is still class, coming second in world player of the year.
Finished 5th 1 point behind man utd and Chelsea....looking at signing Micah Richards and Migeul Veloso this close season.
Delfouneso played the last 4 games and got 5 goals...so looking for him to step up now.
