During their history, the club has been known by a number of nicknames including los colchoneros or the mattresses due to their first team strips being the same colours as old fashioned mattresses. During the 1970s they became known as the los indios. This was allegedly due to the club signing several South American players after the restrictions on signing foreign players was lifted. Another theory suggests that the nickname developed because los indios were the traditional enemy of los blancos. The latter nickname refers to the club's city rival Real Madrid.

a new back up GK, Aguero is severly underated on Weegies so you might need another player there. A new RB as Seitaridis is a maniac, maybe a back up LM for Martin Petrov, thats about it i think.

I've just started a new game with Atletico. First impressions were that the starting squad is pretty good but was a little disspointed with a transfer budget of around £2m.
I devised an attacking 4-1-1-3-1 formation with the following personnel (right to left):
Gustavo Lopez from Celta - £1.2m
Fellype Gabriel from Flamengo - £2.6m
Vincent Enyeama from Bnei Yehuda - £85k
Ivan Hurtado from Al-Arabi - £475k
Diego Camacho - Free transfer
Hector Bueno from Albacete - £150k
Players out:
Antonio Lopez to Betis - £4m (min release fee )
Luis Perea to Paris - £3m
I've played five games in the league so far with four wins and one draw:
Espanyol (H) Won 4-1
Mallorca (A) Won 1-0
Sevilla (A) Drew 1-1
Athletic (H) Won 3-1
Valencia (A) Won 1-0
Very pleased with things so far but we'll see what happens when I go up against Real Madrid or Barca!
