Lol - my holiday is finished and ive picked lowly Margate in the Conference South. This is going to be a huge challenge!

Oh By the way - are you allowed to sign the Greyed out players in your reserves?

So - here is my initial squad: Squad

Looks wafer thin so i think im going to struggle, my first 11 however looks squite strong. My defence looks weak and has no depth whatsoever. A couple of injuries could screw my season big time..

6 players to watch out for:
Adam Sollit GK - Looks good, can see him playing a vital part for us.

Jimmy Jackson D/AML - Best defender at the club

Lee Protheroe D/AMRC - Experienced old head, great at set peices, will play a vital role.

Paul Abbott AM RLC - Looks like the best player at the club, while do a good job in the middle of the park alongside Protheroe.

Elliot Payne AMLC - only 17 and could have bags of potential, decent player, how will he develop.

Danny Hockton SC - natural finisher and takes a mean penalty. Scored twice in my first friendly (drew 2 - 2), will be crucial for us in my opinion.

Yes, infact it is recommended to sign those players because your wage budget shouldnt have to be a worry since you won't be spending any money and if you sign the players it's simply more choices you have. Also if all players could post their manager's profile picture, like I will do in a few minutes, that would be great.

Which one you mean - i iwll post mine as soon as you post yours to make sure i do the right one. :thup:

Sir Sneaky Ninja has taken over the lowly Whitby located at Turnbull Ground, Whitby.

My squad begins with 5 players (i will sign the greys and then post a screenshot), a balance of $100,000 and not much to go on. Im predicted to go 21st in the league, but hopefully we can live. The journey begins! =]

I like it mate - interesting how im in ECS and youre in ECN.. wonder how it will pan out.

Anyway here is my Manager Profile

Great, thanks for joining in. My new assistant manager is Paul Stoneman, who was actually born in Whitley Bay (my rivals!), but its all good. He makes a decent assistant for those looking for one.

Here is my starting Squad. Nothing special, let's see where we can go with them.

Our first game was an exciting one... down 0-1 within 1 minute, but we fought back to a 2-2 before Redditch score a 91st minute goal to beat us 2-3 on our home ground. Im still working around with my tactic, so it's not too bad.

Five games in, its not going well. The weakest part of my team is my defense, of whom are all youngsters brought up from the U19s. I have conceded the most goals in the league, 13 in 5 games. The strongest point in my team is Mr. Warren Statham, my striker. He scored a hat-trick in my only win and has scored in a few other games, totalling 6 total goals.

Im currently 1-1-3 and 20th in the league with 4 points. Right now, I just want to survive this year and build up a stronger defense with possibly some upgraded training grounds, although I doubt it since im not making much money.
