So far, haven't been able to sell anyone, so I haven't been able to sign anyone either. I've played one friendly, a 1-1 draw at Nöttingen.

I've started with a 4-4-2. with 2 DMCs and 2 wingers... Might change that to a DMC and an MC. It's a bit too defensive to challenge for the title, I feel.

I sold Roman Prokoph to Bochum for a massive 14k. I really don't know how I pulled that off, but he is a hot prospect I guess :S
My third striker, judging only by his stats.

I've offered a contract to Marco Löring of Augsburg. Looks like a massive improvement for my team.

My other friendlies:
Babelsberg - Union 0-4
Union - Elversberg 3-0
Union - Arsenal 0-3
Pfullendorf - Union 1-0


Next game: home vs Kiel to start off the challenge.

I deleted my game.

By accident that is, I was cleaning diskspace and decided to delete some old savedgames. I wanted to delete my old challenge game, but deleted this one. My clumsiness can take on impressive proportions at times.

Have started a new game, and will be continuing with that.

Now I get an offer of 8k for Florian Müller, but I'll have to decline. He'll be a starter for me in this game, and I really need to sign a good DC. My team looks much better in this new game too. I only need a DC, and maybe a striker. And a backup GK, as I now have one good and two crap GKs, as opposed to 2 decent ones and a crap one earlier.

Oh my. I fear I won't be getting the championship. I might even get sacked for inactiveness in the transfer market, if the chairman is anything like the Crewe one.

A bid of 2k from Le Havre for my third and most crap GK! Accepted (H)

First transfer in! I signed Witschge to play as an attacking MC, and now have decent backup for all positions, except GK, second DC, DMC, and SC. If I don't have too many simultaneous injuries that is.

Had loan offers denied for Chris of Eintracht Frankfurt and Freddy Guarín. Doh.
Loan offer accepted for Florian Dick (D R/L/C) of Karlsruhe, but he seems only interested in a permanent deal.

friendly results:
Sandhausen - Union 0-5
Union - Unterhaching 0-2
Velbert - Union 0-3

Ha, I got 20k for Glinker (H) Owned (H)

Meh, I'm not going to spend the whole 170k budget anyway. And really, he's crap.

I've decide that backups for DMC and SC are going to be hard to find. I'm focussing on a DC first, and maybe a GK.

I sold Roman Prokoph to Liverpool this time, for £18k. Next signing shouldn't be long :shades:

Damn, Dortmund AND Hertha with Union? Niiice. (Y)

Dortmund and Hertha Amateure, minf you, the amateure teams tend to be the worst in the regional liga on FM, except for Bayern amateure, they get champs almost every year in my games (From my knowledge of 5 seasons Dortmund and 3 seasons HSV)

Yeah, the amateur teams only have a couple of players, and the rest are grayed out ones. Those especially are really, really bad. Münster was a real task, I was glad to win that.

I won Munster 0-1 too (Y)

Werling is out for a week with a damaged elbow.

I managed to sign a DM R/L on the 31st of August. Pfffft, I needed a starting DC, but there just weren't any available. This wingback will do fine, though. He starts at DL.

WOW! You are playing REALLY great!!! Nice skin you have there! You have a link or something for that? I kind of want that too! :p

Thanks anyway! :)

That last game was not great at all. My worst by far. I am really surprised to have won that, and with 10 men even.


The skin is called e-sonic (a remake from the 03/04 version), and you can get it at CoreFM (http://www.corefm.net/pafiledb/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=446). (Y)

:ewan: whers the challenge? its too easy :P
