Johnson been alright for me so far in the lone striker role, with Cahill out for a couple of months aswell hes been badly needed as Osman only other goal scorer really. I've only signed Gago(on loan) and sold Nayshit for 1m to Leeds. I'm made up that they've made Arteta close to what his real ability is, and Osman is a lot better this time round, his ability is about right I think.

Hi fellow evertonians, has anyone got a screenie Mikel Arteta, he wasn't great in 06 and he probably should be better in this one.

Ok guys, just finished the demo and thought I would let you know how it went.

Players Out

Naysmith Leeds £1m
David Weir Free

Players In

Vincent Enyeama(GK) Bnei Yehuda £150k
German Hornos(Loan) Sevilla
Denilson(Loan) Arsenal

Started out by sebding numerous reserves out to loan, including,

Ruddy
Hughes
Boyle
Phelan

Playing a 442 I managed to finish 7th, that was only 3 points away from 4th place. Highlights of the season were beating mancs 3-1 at Old Trafford and Newcastle 4-0 at home.

After signing my GK I sent Howard back to mancs as my guy had better stats. He gets injured then I play Wright who for some reason was really good, if I start again I will go with Wright from the beginning.

Johnson is quite average in this game, tended to play Beattie(7 in 16) and Anichebe(10 in 20) up front. Heard somebody mentioning having to sell Arteta and Cahill. Under no circumstances do this. If somebody enquires, issue hands off and then ask for £30m-£40m, they will soon go away.

Overall team is really good Lescott and Yobo and fantastic. ADM is quality(for some reason) as is Osman.

Other player worth mentioning is Denilson from Arsenal. You need to get this guy on loan straight away. Has fantastic stats and plays the holding role when I put him in in place or Arteta.

Cant wait for the game now.

Well heres how mine looks

Players Out
Simon Davies £3.6m
Gary Naysmith £1.2m
Phil Neville £3.6m
Nuno Valente £1.0m

Players In
Anthony Vanden Borre £2.5m
Jermain Defoe £15.5m
Fernando Gago Loan
Tuni Loan

I got Defoe because he was unhappy I think and half the value is over 24 months (no need to worry in the demo though)

After 12 games I'm 5th Won 6 Drew 2 Lost 4

McFadden, Howard, Cahill all have >7.5 average ratings
Johnson scored 8 in 14
Defoe scored 5 in 12
Cahill scored 8 in 15

I played a Diamond formation
GK Howard
DR Hibbert
DL Pistone
DC Yobo
DC Lescott
DM Carsley
MR Arteta
ML McFadden
AM Cahill
FC Defoe
FC Johnson

Although injuries have been quite frequent
Losts of 2/3 week injuries to Pistone, Arteta, Cahill, Osman, Lescott meant that Vanden Borre has played alot at rightback and wing, Weir had some games as did Gago and also Lee Molyneux who has played really well in the 6 games so far. Rating isn't that good but has stepped up and not made any mistakes.

What kind of feeder clubs is everyone getting?
I got Blackpool but I been offered Preston and Irish clubs in the different games

Wicked Wilson

That Birmingham v Fulham game the other season we were talking about on msn , it was that boring in the first half match of the day started the highlights from the second half, nice thread Alex btw, i'll be posting my Everton updates when the game comes out, don't want to ruin by playing the game properly till it's out.

Just started another game with Everton. Got the same enquiries regarding Arteta from Arsenal and Spurs. Told them both £100m. Arsenal said no, Spurs offered £22.4m.

Got news message.

Tottenham have made an offer worth £22.4m for Mikel Arteta.

Bill Kenwright feels this offer was too good to refuse and has decided to take matters into his own hands by accepting this transfer bid on behalf of the management.

how nice of him
