Welcome aboard Roy. Not that I will ever forgive you for hatcheting Lubanski in '73.
Gaming FM2017 Football Legends - Classic Player Draft - S2 Holiday Updates
- Thread starter oneniltothearsenal
- Start date
My odds been slashed in half for this year. 
Who is billy slater?
I signed some guy called Jimmy Rimmer
You still went ahead and tried to buy the league! PSG fans.... Tch tch tch.
One of these dogged and defensive-minded Brits from the post-war era. I'm sure @Annahnomoss gave him big licks in the British and Irish draft because he once did a job on Pele.
Wait, I got it wrong! You guys didn't buy anyone. Well done on the profit.
new partner for Zidane.I sold Parola too cheaply
@oneniltothearsenal what does EC and ECC mean? It doesn't make sense that I'm in the same competition as @Tuppet
Happy not to see Wim or Krol sold
You should have made your supporters as impatient as you are then. Instead you made them full kit wanker fanatics
Wolves guy from the 50s, no?

Oh darn this weird glitch happened in the modern FM experiment @Macern
You and the @RedTiger @Enigma_87 got switched competitions
Since I can't make the database fair, I am just going to conclude you are like Sir Henry Norris and you coerced the Champions League into letting you in instead of the Red'nigmas.
Maybe I will edit so their side hates you now
So no champs league
@Skizzo @Joga Bonito got dropped out of Europe when they should have been in Europa
Somehow I think the fact our league lost a co-efficient and dropped to 4th place hurt us.

Can we change stats now?

Bill Slater.
We signed John Stones. No words.
Anyway, hoping to build on the second place finish, and go deep in Europe.

not bad on a free have to say
No transfers in or out.. Guttman SMH
Sol Campbell, eh? Well, at least our squad's unchanged. The higher odds are a good sign of the growth in our squad. I'll continue to remain confident in Sacchi.
How are our odds still 90-1, ffs.
With the lack of football and updates during the previous weekend, I dusted off my CM 01-02 and downloaded the latest player patch. I edited in this Summer's shopping list: Lindelof, Lukaku, Matic, Perisic and Griezmann. Result: walked the league and the Europa with the invincible narrow 3-1-3-2-1 formation (CM never cared for width).
Now the funny thing is yesterday I got to the close season (Lukaku Golden Boot and Belgium win the 2002 WC) and our annual saga came up: Cristiano wanted a new contract at Real. Valued at 5.5M, I put in a cheeky bid of 10M only for them to accept such an absurd fee for a 32-year-old and CR accepting my wage-equalling 90K/week offer :"DrEvil"smilie:
He has 11 goals in 5 games now
If that wasn't enough fantasy for you, last season Fellaini scored the winner in two finals and a last minute winner to avoid City knocking us out of the FA Cup.

I've signed Joe Hart and Kevin Beattie
I think I'm done here!

, why do you even have him in your side, let alone featuring in finals. He's proving to be a decent squad option in reality, but it won't be long before he does something brain-dead.
It's always polemic with him, Jones and Smalling. Fellaini had a cracking start last season, partnering Pogba but he eventually dipped before culminating in the silly penalty against Everton and he was lambasted etc. Likewise, Jones who has a stretch of 7-10 games per season where he looks excellent before reverting to donkey mode or getting injured.
Guess if you come bottom of the league, you don't get tagged any more....
I signed some guy called Jimmy Rimmer
Played for United for a bit but more famous for Villa. Started the European Cup Final then went off injured early (a v young Nigel Spink came on, played ok and they did the unlikely and beat Bayern. Liked that 81/82 Villa side... like Everton 84/85, not packed with superstars but a great collective.)
Any update @oneniltothearsenal
cheers.Guess if you come bottom of the league, you don't get tagged any more....

I expected to sell him and the only reason I didn't transfer list him was being short in midfield numbers. Next thing I know he was starting over Herrera.
Funny thing is I wound up prioritising backups for Pogba and Matic but with these being midfielders every rumour and signing has Fellaini fretting and feeling like he will be found out and pushed out.
I guess that bit is realistic.
Last I heard was a few days ago. I signed Ronaldo.
I need to clear some time to write this up, hopefully in the next few days.
Well I'll be bottom and disbanded after the clubs fans rioted and torched the stadium ..... then it's just the other 19 places up for grabs.
It will take quite a write up to explain Cruyff going for two upfront. But then, it's Ro-Ro, feck tactics.
Any updates forthcoming?
Probably this weekend, I am almost caught up on work and don't have any weekend commitments thankfully.
Awesome. Looking forward to it. No pressure. Just curiosity really. It's a fun experiment.
