I'm playing against Bristol City today, he's got quite a few really good players as well. Somehow managed to get Forlan (92), Moutinho (91) and then has a few other high rated players as well. I have more depth though, and from what I can see his first 11 rating is 86 and mine is 87. I have to rest my best defender and my forward, both aren't match fit yet so I'm replacing Maicon (88 cb) with ustaritz (86 cb) and Ibisevic (88 cf) with Ayew (85 winger) and moving pandev up to striker. I need a win here considering I got hammered in my opening game, changed my tactics since then so we'll see how this goes.

Leeds United Team News
Manager Damien has been at the drink and has put out a very attacking lineup for their first home league fixture. Pinto returns to the starting lineup despite Neto keeping two consecutive clean sheets and Piszczek starts the game out wide with Jantschke playing at right back in a three man defence. The team also has experienced strikers Inzaghi and Welliton on the bench if things don't go well, with Petersen starting up front. With the tactics used, it is likely Leeds will be humiliated, but will the final scoreline be similar to their game against Forest in reality?

Surprised noone made an offer for Anelka at any point from the lower leagues.
Time for Remy to break his duck and score against Ipswich!
Preston North End F.C. vs Oldham Athletic
PNE's side is unchanged from the squad that beat Burnley in yesterday's friendly.

PNE 2-1 Oldham
Goals for Malbranque (MotM) and Kanoute. Modesto sent off! Luckily defence is one area I've got a lot of cover in.

QPR 1-1 Tottenham
Had the better of the stats, just failed to convert my chances. Finally a tactic that seems to work.
Should of had a penalty as well by the looks of the commentary, anyway an improvement.

2-0 win against Hartlepool, but not pleased that my highest rated player got sent off. Most pleased that my team have been very good defensively since I took over, only conceded 2 goals, and they came in the friendly against West Bromwich.
Beat Sunderland 3-2, Mackem cnuts injured Messi after he bagged a brace. Responded by putting him in one.
This game is worse than FM for dodgy results, once again my players were rated at 8's and 7's while they were around 5 and 6's and i end up getting beat 2-0 because one of their players got a 7 and scored twice with their only 2 shots. Great game.

Was 2-0 down at home at Oxford United which is worrying considering how much better my team is, thankfully we pulled it round and won 4-2 thanks to goals from Walter, Baba (2) and Funes Mori.
2 - 2. I must be bad at tactics or some shit.
Do the finances not update after this fixture then?? It still says i'm in debt on my overview screen (and so still can't do transfers), but when I go into my finances I'm in profit...
You were saying?
Didn't deny I'd done it, said you were.
1-1 with poxy Doncaster
They will do but it takes a while.
Indeed, but it gets on your nerves and 95% of the time i would have been the victor in that game
Yeah, my finances have gone up.

True, I should of beat QPR with my stats but it didn't happen. Just happy I got a formation that seems to work.
Division 2 table
Ain't that a pretty sight?
