Default Premiership Challenge Clan FMEL II





Hello and welcome to the Premiership Challenge thread. This is the second year of running this clan which guarantees success, heartbreak and a whole lot of banter as the seasons go on. There will be plenty of tough times ahead, arguments will happen and there will be times where you just cant take it no more and as a result throw a tantrum and possibly kick your modem out of place if your names Carly but that's what this game does to you if your losing but if your winning its a different story and you will treated like royalty......well maybe not but you may get a pat on the back from the others We mainly have members who played last time around with 1 new addition which brings the total amount of players up to 12 for the start of Football Manager 08.

After a successful 11 season playing in La Liga last time around we have decided to move to the English Premiership this time around.

The clan will again play two nights a week. Those two nights being Sunday and Tuesday. Both sessions will be 7pm till 12am Although I advice all members to be on msn at 6:30pm because that is when t+t starts.

Also members don't need to writer update as lets face it, no really like doing them as there are better things to do with your time but if any players wants to do a team update feel free to do so. Each season we will vote for a player of the year and the winner of that we be required to write a predations' report for the following season.


The team draw has already taken place and the teams are as follows:


David - Blackburn
Carl - West Ham
Demi - Pompey
Matt - Spurs
Justin - Reading
Williams - Man City
Danny - Everton
Andy - Newcastle
Rick - Boro
Razor - Bolton
Marc - Villa
Gary - Sunderland



As no one else apart from Justin has asked to changed teams by now these will be the teams that the players will be starting the 08 season with


We currently are full with 12 member so please don't post in this thread about joining.

Predictions 07/08 Season



Tottenham - Matt
We have already had a major debate over this in the clan , providing the Spurs researcher keeps up to his promise of increasing the Tottenham bank balance even Mr. Hooker would admit his team are in prime position to finish the season in top place out of the human teams. Partly I'm basing this on how well Matt done with his Osasuna team in our Football Manager 07 game and partly to do with the team Tottenham start off with at the start of the game.

Premiership position: 5th
Key player: Berbatov



Everton - Danny
Everton start off with a strong team but after already playing the demo with them I have realized that a couple of injuries really affect the team, a good transfer budget of 8 million for a mid table finish will help with building up the squad but one eye has to be kept on the finances with the crippling 50 million loan. I have a big named striker in mind but if I can't sign that player I will invest in youth for want will hopefully be a bright future for Everton.

Premiership position: 6th
Key player: Arteta



Man City - Dave
So far I have been impressed with the Manchester City team both in the demo and in real life (apart from the Chelsea game). Big Dave Williams has three of the best young players in the game in the shape of Richards, Onuoha and Sturridge add to this a healthy bank balance and the impressive Elano there manager can look forward to a good future providing he keeps his job, which has been a problem in other clan games .

Premiership position: 7th
Key player: Elano



Aston Villa - Marc
Marc always creates weird looking formation that work a treat but then has a habit to change that winning formation which backfires. With some good youngsters in the team already and the best starting off transfer budget Villa will be a team to watch this season.

Premiership position: 8th
Key player: Barry



Newcastle - Andy

Probably got one of the best picks out of everyone as Newcastle have a lot going for them they have just been taken over by a man that will put money into the club and have a massive stadium. Add to this they also have Owen and Martins up front but weather Andy can get them working together in the same formation will be a different thing. If the new manager can add a couple of decent defenders then Newcastle will be a team to beat.

Premiership position: 9th
Key player: Owen



Portsmouth - Demi
Another team that has big bucks to spend to add to an already class team, Demi proved at Real Madrid once he had the funds he knew a good player or two but at Pompey I'm sure he will not be able to attract the same class of player.

Premiership position: 10th
Key player: Muntari



West Ham - Carly
The main thing you can count on with Carl is there will be a lot of transfer activity each and every summer. The Hammers start with a good budget and lots of players to sell to raise more funds so I'm sure the manager was more than happy to get the job. Each season the players need time to gel so I can see a slow start of Carl this year but hopefully he learn from his old mistakes and give his squad time to settle before he sells them on. He found out the hard way at Betis spending 500 million doesn't buy you a trophy.

Premiership position: 11th
Key player: Green



Blackburn - David
with having on eye on Europe and not exactly have the biggest squad this may be a problem for David but his already proven he is a good manager after the fine job he done at Villarreal. With Gamst, McCarthy and Derbyshire in the team Blackburn have the class to pull of a few surprises along the way but one of David's first jobs as the new manager will be too lower the age of the squad.

Premiership position: 12th
Key player: Gamst



Reading - Justin
I played the demo a few times so far and the one thing that always happened was Reading were in the top 8th by the end of December, they seem slightly overrated by the researcher which can only be a good thing for our new member. Justin is the unknown element of the clan so it hard to guess where he finish but he talks a good game and hopefully he prove to be a good addition to the clan.

Premiership position: 13th
Key player: Lita



Middleborough - Rick
El **** head himself , it will depend how much time Rick spends down the pub over the course of the game as to how his team fairs. He came close to turning the corner a few times with Deportivo but then would miss a session and be back to square one. Boutly proved last time he can scout a good player and credit must go to him by finding Parkinson and a number of good South Americas, so with the Chairman backing the manager could turn them into a force.

Premiership position: 14th
Key player: Woodgate



Sunderland - Gary
Gary has one of the hardest jobs in the clan keeping Sunderland in the Premiership and if will have to do better than he did in Valencia. I'm going to tip them for relegation but hopefully I will be proven wrong but looking at the team I don't see enough class in the team for them to stay up, also I'm sure Gary will sign more Scottish players will not help his cause.

Premiership position: 18th
Key player: Gordon



Bolton - Simon
An old ageing team with only a couple of good players in Anelka and Nolan so again I can only see a season ending in relegation but if Razor can get a formation that get EL Sulk scoring then maybe there is hope. With Hardly no money it might be a good thing as it save the old boy wasting money on crap players like Bo storm like he did at Valencia.

Premiership position: 19th
Key player: Gordon

look like I'm the first then :cool:

Thanks for a great opening post Danny. Really whet my appetite for the new game... I'm fairly optimistic for Blackburn but have the same problem as Everton - one or two injuries affects the team badly.. Not too much to spend either plus I'll have to start paying pensions to a few of the squad after a season or two

Let's hope the patch is out soon and it's a good one!

Nice predctions m8, I have just won the league and FA cup double in my first season at Villa (4th attempt), but was really strange, Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal all finished outside top 4, when on my other attempts Man U were unbeatable and Chelsea were the powerfull team u would expect, Ashley Young and Luke moore are quality and the big transfer budjet certainly helps, although I have no doubt it will all change with the patch as I was winning most games 3-2 or 4-3, making my Def Mid useless, as to my formations I will be sticking with my 4 1 2 3 using a big target man for long and nippy wingers to play of the big man, so the normal annoying no possesion few shots but winning scorelines expected just like in la Liga lol

I couldn't get my old style to work with this version of a big target man, counter attack & pace from midfield Debtu but maybe that was because of the DMC problem, I just found I'd concede so many goals from allowing them so much of the ball.

Using a 4312 formation with Hendon in the dafuge challenge right now, very much a standard tactic but more attacking then I usually am. It has been solid though & I've got 2 straight promotions from blue square north into league 2 where I currently sit top of the league with 5 games left. I might try that with Spurs to see how it does but I feel more confident now the tactical side of things with the closing down is more reliable.

I want top the first season but I wouldn't be surprised to see 1 of Everton, Villa, Newcastle or Man City flying high early on. So much depends on this first transfer window & who we go for, could be a nightmare or a dream.

I think there are alot of teams that can challenge Matt, not got the betta patch yet to see how this changes things but evertyone seemed to be beating everyone, even with my flucky title win I lost 10 games and drew 8, think it just shows the strenght of the EPL when outside the top 4 teams like Spurts, Everton, Villa, man City, Newcastle, Pompy and the Hammers can all compete and should be quite a leveal playing field after 3 seasons depending on transfers and results, on my 1 player game I obviousley choose a higher transfer balance than I will in a clan game, so dont know how well I will do with 10m less lol
