    Whoever it was said signing decent players after season 1 is difficult was certainly right. DK gave me NOTHING to spend ahead of the new season so I am forced to prepare for my first time in the Championship by picking up freebies and it is NOT easy. Most of the half decent players released by...

    Happy days, I've finally finished my first season and it has been a successful one. Ended up in 4th place with Leeds and Swindon getting automatic promotion and Peterborough, Oldham and Southend joining my Albion team in the play offs. We didn't finish the season too well, losing to play off...

    Hawkins is a total nightmare. He's never going to get a game but you can't even give him away and because he's contracted for years on a decent wage you can't just terminate his contract without paying a high penalty. I've tried offloading him so many times and NOBODY will go near him. A...

    Still in my first season. Just approaching the January transfer window deadline day. Shipped out a lot of dead wood so my reserve and youth teams are rather thin on the ground but my wage budget is now back on target. I have terminated the loan spell of West Brom's Bartosz Slusarski who did...

    Slusarski, he's woeful and the board and fans HATE me for picking him up on loan. But a lack of options or any money to spend on player wages mean I am stuck with him.

    Why won't my stingy board let me have a parent club? They just said there's nobody suitable and I'm not allowed to ask again. Problem is I have NO money for wages and the January transfer window approaches

    Junior, I think successful player assignments is key. When on the match day screen check your assistants advice as to who needs closing down, hard tackling, showing on to their weaker foot etc. But be sure to check it again come half time as he will have more suggestions for you. Take heed. I...

    You've done well with Junior and Ljungberg - they've both been excellent signings for me. I also flogged off Robinson but would be in trouble without Cox and Whing has been instrumental in my side having the best defensive record in league one. Only problem I'm struggling with is keeping...

    Not bad work. As someone who used to deal in Dreamcasts I can tell you the console, controllers and VMU's are basically worthless HOWEVER the rod controller, official gun, dance mat and boxed Maracas are worth a few bob. Plus Shenmue is one of the few games that's considered rare and valuable...

    I'm into November now and had topped the table for a few weeks before my unbeaten start to the season was finally ended with a 1-0 defeat at home to Leeds. The fans are rather chuffed so far. Brazilian Junior has been in superb form on the left wing whilst Koki Mizuno has been an absolute...

    I really like the 3D match engine. Also for all the warnings that you'll need a powerful computer to enjoy it, I find I have no problems running it on my laptop, which is not very beefed up at all. Cor that player list brings back some memories. I'd forgotten good old Mike Duff, that guy was...

    Palace at home in the league cup and we only pull in 6,257 fans? I despair of this club some times... Anyway, back to my game and I've brought in NOT ONLY Freddie Ljungberg for a paltry £14,000 from Seattle BUT ALSO a Japanese fella named Koki Mizumo who has been a revelation since signing...

    Still in pre-season for me. The fans were over the moon when I picked up former Brazilian international Junior for just £60k. He has been ok so far but even if he doesn't do an awful lot the kudos I have got just for signing him makes it worthwhile. Also checked my own stats, as I gave myself...

    Interesting. I have heard there is a community supporting this version of the game as the best ever release and you can get all the latest transfers with the updated player database and even edit the start date to now. So how's it going WW? Should I take the plunge back to the good old days...

    Where did you get £200k from? I'd love to sign Rebrov for my Albion side (I'm assuming you're playing as Brighton) but that sort of money I can only DREAM of
