Gaming CM 01/02 Hands-Off League - Signups for season 2016-17 Open!

I'm not a fan of this parallel reality.

There’s only 1 wrong season TBF :drool:
 
2003 Summer Transfers - League 2

If you're not tagged it means you got no one worth mentioning (or no one at all).

@Hephaestus finally has Ballack. 31M from Bayern

DsxAweu.png



@Ian Reus splashed another 41M, he seems to want to catch the big boys.

14M from Chelsea

QpXoJ6z.png


16M from Boro

ttMyvLq.png


11M from Wolves

wA8fgDq.png


@OptimisedRed strengthened the midfield and defence

6.5M from Watford

WY3YG90.png


13.5M from Villa

2saJ58M.png


@Stobzilla paid Forest 5M for Sutton

MneIg9u.png



@The Cat wants to build on the League 3 title and spent almost 100M

FpSWTeV.png


Paulo Costa is a strange one, @Dr. Dwayne let him go for just 1M after he scored 23 goals in just a season and a half.

Kerr was very expensive but he's one of the top prospects in the world right now.

Klose, proven goalscorer from @sebsheep

Q3HJ3TU.png


GdR7qll.png


JUc1zhc.png


This was a strange one, almost 20M and he's not that good nor young.

2003 Summer Transfers - League 1

@Cheimoon is not messing around and spent 124M in the summer, including an insane transfer, 2nd highest ever in the world, 48M for Andrés Olivera from Seviila :eek:

Only Real Madrid paying 49M for Christian Vieri 2 summers ago was higher than this.

@Cheimoon also got Ben Thatcher from @Dr. Dwayne for 5M, he as fundamental in @Dr. Dwayne title in the Conference.

q7KjZpu.png




@sebsheep is trying to keep up and also brought big names.

He started by paying 25M to @17 Van der Gouw after the end of last season to get David Trezeguet. Major loss for @17 Van der Gouw

E4z9j20.png


In the summer, another 63M spent on some big names, Joe Cole, Young Player of the Year 2 seasons ago and Nuno Gomes. Robinson was also very expensive from Watford, but United and Chelsea were also interested.

As a side note, you sold Klose to @The Cat after scoring 23 goals in 31 matches.
What the... :lol: I hadn't even ever heard of this Olivera dude! I see his career didn't reach great heights in reality after he left Sevilla in 2002, but let's see what he'll accomplished in the even realer life of your simulation.

(Of course I think this is the realer life, I'm winning stuff for once!)

He's doing amazingly well so far.
 
2003 Summer Transfers - League 3

If you're not tagged it means you got no one worth mentioning (or no one at all). This was depressingly uneventful, more than half the teams bought no one at all.

@Dr. Dwayne spent some cash, but there are really no highlights.

xsQwWFZ.png



United legend Andy Cole cost 5M and is now scoring goals for @pacifictheme

mOtFwUf.png



@Skizzo paid Fulham 13M for a goal scorer

gTzfEnE.png



One of the most promising strikers in the game now plays for @Withnail, he cost 20M from Auxerre. More goals than games so far.

mk9YtAK.png



@P-Nut spent 60M in the summer, picking some Premier League players.

@Vidyoyo also spent 60M, including getting one of the top scorers fro @17 Van der Gouw

Pedro Emanuel's transfer was a very strange one. Sunderland got him from tier 4 in Portugal for less than 1M, he didn't really play much, only started 1 match and @Vidyoyo pays 17.5M for him? FIFA needs to investigate.

I wonder if Jorge Mendes is also in the game pulling off these strange deals...

SDXYsfW.png
 
Nice that we're targeting younger players in Carrick and Ameobi. Hopefully we get a promotion so we can keep them.
 
Just seen Van Nistelrooy's attributes on the previous page - bloody hell. 20 pace, 20 acceleration... Ruud wasn't slow by any means but that's ridiculous :lol:

This game is known for going a bit overboard on some stats, I mean I love Vieira, but look at his stats right now, 14 20s

He is a literal God. Thank feck he wasn't actually this good in real life.
 
You can at least like your team a bit more now he's gone.

Was your team not hated enough @Cheimoon? :lol:
You can never be hated enough. You know what they say: always hated, never ignored. So the more hatred, the more... non-ignorement...? That must be a good thing.

I've only been tagged once, and that was to tell me I escaped relegation by a miracle. This is not going the way I hoped it would
 
2003 Summer Transfers - Conference

If you're not tagged it means you got no one worth mentioning (or no one at all).

@AbusementPark started working right after the season as over and he brought some new stars to the Conference.

@Igor Drefljak got 6 players, but nothing to write home about.

@Peter van der Gea offered a nice retirement home for Le Saux. Free transfer.

@RedTiger

@Siorac

@altodevil was relegated and they're showing they want to go back up again straight away.

@17 Van der Gouw lost Trezeguet, the fans demanded a replacement, this was it. 20.5M from Spurs.

@oneniltothearsenal probably overspent a bit, but at least they're getting new players.

Your board are cheapskates, in 3 seasons your club only spent 120k
 
October 25, 2003 - League 1

Whoever said money doesn't buy success has never played championship manager. @Cheimoon and @sebsheep are absolutely destroying the competition and the Premier League seems like a certainty at this point. You can hear the nails being bitten at United and Arsenal's headquarters.

@Cheimoon lost away to Charlton and @sebsheep is still unbeaten. You have played each other in an exciting 0-0. Only 4 goals conceded in 14 matches :eek:

Next time you see them, please pass on my immense displeasure
I kicked out the manager in late july but it changed nothing. I'll kick the new one out again in december.
 
In the latest Oxford English Dictionary, the word 'underwhelming' isn't defined verbally, they've simply put the image of our transfer window next to it.

So this Olivera dude is indeed pretty OK. Also happy to see the good people of Derby came in great numbers to see my team.
 
October 25, 2003 - League 2

The Caf teams are doing very well in League 2, I guess that's what happens when hundreds of millions are spent. @Ian Reus and @Hephaestus are the top, but everything is very close, @The Cat @OptimisedRed and @Stobzilla are in playoff spots.

jdpHpTM.png



Poor @Samid is a case study, 100M spent and they're struggling in the relegation zone. The players seem to have lost faith in the manager and star player Denilson is asking for his head, the manager will need a miracle to make it to christmas.

@Hephaestus Kanouté is on fire with more goals than matches.

Not a fecking thing. How do they expect to do with only Jason Euell doing the biz? Bloody hell

Middlesbrough tried that in the premier league :lol:

Wonder how my bank balance is since I bought nobody again, probably nudging £700m, I’m definitely saving up for United

To be fair they bought this absolute beast for 950k from Birmingham.

As you can see by the 0 starts in 14 games, he's making the difference.

Just so you see the power of sponsors in the game, @Cheimoon has spent tons of cash and still has 439M in the bank.

@Withnail is still the richest club in the world with 772M
 
Still nothing in terms of transfers for me. I might get to League 3 by the time Covid hits the simulation!

You got a couple of guys but to be honest they weren't worth the printscreen.

Great to see my 100% homegrown team fighting near the top, especially with our young academy starlet Kanoute doing so brilliantly.
