u not downloaded new weegie?i prefer being up to date in FM.Seb Hines looks very promising for me,play Yakubu as targetman run onto ball and sign a strong striker to partner him as i dunno if Mido has been added on latest weegie.

I just started a middlesborough game last night with 7.02 and the weegie update from last Friday (24/08/07).

This was me looking for a challenge as my last game before FM2008. Will post later signings made pre-season but my last game as a pre-season friendly I won 16-1 away to Chester-Le-Street. Mido scored six and Eddie Johnson scored 5.However 1st. game of the season is away to Chelsea.

My chosen formation is a 4-1-3-2 and picked a lot more away friendlies to regional non-league teams as well as the standard ones already in the fixture list just to get the players more used to playing the system.

You got a link to the latest update by any chance?

Yakubu will be on his way along with Vid(greedy fat B*****d) and the rest, any chance we can keep this thread going as there isnt a decent boro thread on this board

Go to www.fmweegieupdate.co.uk and ask the guys where last Friday's is or wait until this Saturday for last update

Cheers Pal, someone told me to get fm formation update instead....which is better?

I have only tried weegie but fm-formation is that the one at www.fm-britain.co.uk. I think that is the one which includes wiping out the point deductions in Italy.

I use the weegie update just for the transfers being updated weekly and the promotion and relegation teams are correct.

Last night Boro game.

Game 1 - Chelsea (away) lost 2-0.
Game 2 - Man City (home) won 3-0.
Game 3 - Newcastle (Away) lost 2-0.
Game 4 - Birmingham (home) ; half-time being totally dominated and lucky to suvive at 0-0, so I changed from a 4-1-3-2 to a 4-4-2 with 1 defensive CM and 1 AMC in the centre. Report at the end of the game which we won 2-0 said "Whatever the manager did at half-time work wonders as boro where magnificant in the second half"
Game 4 - West Ham (away) won 3-2.
Game 5 - League Cup (2nd. rd.) Shrewsbury (home) made six changes to give reserve/back-up players some match time won 3-0 with backup striker Stevie Naismith scoring 2 on his debut.

Next game will be at home to Pompey.
