Welcome to the Promise Land

Finally Crawley have made it to the Premier League. It took 6 season but we are there. After some very good buys for free at the start of Season 6 and the fact I was able to sell one of my players for £1.5M I was able to guide Crawley using Jambo's tactic to the Premiership. Since I left League one I have found it impossible to get the good young Premier League players on loan for the season.

Out of 46 games I won 30 drew 10 and lost 6 mainly due to Ballack playing like a super star and scoring or assisting in every game he played. But the main difference was the people I was able to pick up on free transfer at the of the season they game my squad depth and allowed me to rest players for the first time.

As was explained to me by ridley99 you have to look out for the regen players they appear in the lower leagues in England or in the small Italian teams. These players are very young and better than most of the real players in the game. Normally you can pick them up for pretty cheap money.

Ok Old Trafford, Anfield, Stanford Bridge and Ewood Park here comes Crawley Town.

well done, getting from the conference to the premiership in six seasons with no money is pretty good!

Unlucky 13th??

The first season in the EPL for Crawley was a lot like the first season in the Championship. Most the current players I have are not good enough to play at the level or are very young and need a season or two find their feet.

Ballack my best midfielder is no too old with his stamina and pace down to 1. Which is a shame as he is easily my most skillful player but only being able to get 45 mins out him in every 3rd game is not enough.

At the start of the season I was given £3.2M to spend and I still have it all. I was not really able to find anyone good enough and available at a cheap price. I was also sad to find that this season there was very few good players available on a free transfer. Normally this means the next year will be extra good.

I am happy with 13th in my first season. Lets see how I get on next season. Hopefully my younger players will have learnt for a hard first season.

I've done it, I did a whole 29 seasons with Lewes, I made them the world's best team, won whole loads of premierships and champions leagues. Quite a few of them consecutively. It wasn't really that difficult to be honest.

Due to a technical fault I am back in the Championship.

Of course I was not stupid enough to turn off auto saving and then let my PSP run completely out of battery

Just to let everyone know after my own stupidity I am back in the EPL.

The saved game I had was at the end of the season 3 when I was in League one. I finished 5th and went up via the play offs. Next season I finished 6th and went up via the play off off beating leicester and Man City.

Now I am in the EPL and I have been given a whopping £400K to spend. But I have been able to get Gary Neveile on a free :p
