Derby did well in my first 2 seasons, but I dont know where they came. For the last 2 season, the "big four" have come top (with my Man Utd coming first for the past 3 seasons)

But I do think Derby are overrated in this game.

i'm a derby fan but am quite glad to see derby 'very over-rated'. Its quite strange how theyve rated the players. Stephen Pearson isn't good enough, davis jones very over-rated along with bywater. Also barnes just never seems to get good on the game!

Nope, never seen anything like that. So far it's always been Man utd, Chelsea, Liverpool & Arsenal taking the top 4 spots. Derby have always got in the lower half. An true to life Derby have been thrashed 4 or 5-0 quite often.

How the hell do you finish 4th with derby in your first season without cheating? Then how can you get Naldo, Walcott, Nani, Obodo, Van der vaart, eddie johnson, landon donovan, on Derby's budget? Seems very unrealistic tbh...

I finished 4th first season with bringing in eddie johson, viafara, flamini on loan, and donavan (selling jones to fund this transfer). i must admit i was very suprised myself with my finish.

second season i had 26million to spend after negotiating a budget. 14mil nani, 10 mil obodo. and a little on benayoun who was crap. in this season donavon and johnson scored 53 goals between them. i again made europe.

third season vdv for 12mil, naldo, 12mil, arzo free. barnes out for 10mil, hoyte free, walcott for 9 mil. i have had alot of cash to spend and getting in europe has meant these players have wanted to join.

i assure you i haven't cheated. i would't waste my time coming on forums if i was such a cheat.

Derby are probably over rated because the researchers felt sorry for them :p

I'm glad Derby are in the Prem as at least that means you'll see a lot of goals on MOTD
