So just started a new game with Chelsea, wanted to share what's going on, please also let me know what you have done differently if you like. So far done the summer period from June-August 2011/12. So starting off with the transfers in euros.
OUT :
Didier Drogba - Barcelona - 12million
Alex - Man City - 10million
Anelka - Real Madrid - 7million
Bosingwa - Atl. Madrid - 4million
Hilario - Man City - 1million
ON LOAN (youngsters) :
Conor Clifford - Sheffield Wednesday
Jamal Blackman - Yeovil Town
Milan Lalkovic - Cardiff City
Jacob Mellis - Southampton
Ben Gordon - Nottingham Forest
Billy Clifford - Exeter
IN :
Gary Cahill - Bolton - 14million
Neymar - Santos - 59million
So that's taken all my transfer budget & my wages are about 40 grand in the red for now. Quite happy that I got some good money for some of the older players rather than losing them on free transfers. I am continuously creating a shortlist for next summer with some more targets. In regards to sorting out the finance my only plan so far is to offer Paolo Ferreira for about 2million in January & will be saving his wages that are about 40k+ per week. Do you think I will get offered anymore transfer money for Jan? is it worth asking? In FM11 it used to come up automatically where the board would offer me more funds to strenghten squad. haven't come across it much on FM12.
Now in regards to tacticts i play 4-1-2-3 with two centre backs, the fullbacks at an advanced position when needed, a holding midfielder, two central midfielders, two wingers & a centre forward. I play a fluid attacking game & ask the team to be more expressive, play a wide high tempo game with cautious tackling. In regards to results i can give you up till now & will update as I go along. So far haven't lost a game so not bad although I was disappointed with some of the draws.
So pre-season results :
vs Chelsea Reserves 4-0 H
vs Vitesse 6-2 A
vs Chicago 2-0 A
vs Real Salt Lake 4-0 A
vs Bradford 4-0 A
vs Flamengo 0-0 H
vs Juventus 3-0 H
vs Cruzeiro 0-0 A
Barclays Premier League :
vs Swansea 3-0 H
vs Stoke City 1-1 A
vs Aston Villa 1-1 H
