Ok well I said i'd post my team and stats etc so here it is. Ive only really just started the season but over the transfer period I built up a great Villa team which hasn't done bad so far. At the start of the season, Ashley Young was hit with a 4 month injury which didnt help me at all then to my shock another star, my new right back, got an injury, less minor than Youngs, but still.
Completed Players In:
• Rafael Van der Vaart (HSV) 18.5M -- My driving force. I payed a hefty sum for him and so far he has lifed up to it.
• Julian de Guzman (Deportivo) 10M -- Before getting injured he was a strong right back and once fit in roughly 3 weeks, he will be starting again.
• Jefferson Farfan (Feyernoord) 6.25M -- Well worth 6.25 million. He is a great player and along the right of my pitch is great!
Completed Players Out:
• Elliot Parish (Hibernian) 7k -- Meh, im 7k richer lol. Was never going to use in team and didnt look to good for future.
Future Players In:
• Alex (Bresco) 35k -- Deal To Go Through 6th Jan 08
• Breno (Sao Paulo) 1.9M -- Deal To Go Through 1st Jan 08
• Curtis Davies (West Brom) 10M -- Deal To Go Through 1st June 08
Future Players Out:
• TBA
I didnt really concentrate on selling players due to a lack of talent. In January I will more than likely sell off Marlon Harewood as he just isn't going to feature in my team due to an influx in talent. The matches so far have been great and although im lying 7th, im sure ill get a top 6 place because my team is blending so well which has suprised me. The tactics im using too just fits awesomly using John Carew as my target man works tremendously. Van der Vaart is also on great form scoring goals here there and everywhere! Heres my tactics and starting line up. Please bear in mind I have injuries to Gusman *Right Back* & Young *Winger*
Once all my players are fit Young & Gusman will resume first team play. Heres how I stand fixture wise with results etc. Id just like to say also, againt Liverpool we really hit a bright spark and almost turned the game upright with a cracking strike from VdV.
I liked the 8-0 hehe. Yes I believe I splashed the cash wisely. And some how got away without buying a striker. Next season I may drop Carew depending on hw he is doing and bring in Agbonlahor or Moore but if not then with new found money buy in Vagner Love who I very nearly snatched this window. Time will tell. Heres how I stand in the league with so little played.
I'll do my next update probably around February 08 game time or if not, then ill do one once the aeason is over summing it up. You can decide if you like my team or not... comments?
