Chelmsford City Succession Game

Update (I'll post some screenshots in a bit)

I am 19 games in. I brought in a couple of short term loans to help out the midfield, Fran Merida and Magnus Eikrem.

My tactic is now 2-3-2-1-2 (like a 4-4-2 diamond, but with the full backs as wing backs)

Without the short term signings we play a very drab effective game. With them and we can be awesome. Lee Trundle is a bizzare player. He can go games without scoring and then explode with braces and hat tricks. Kevin Phillips is steady.

I have opted to spend some of the money we had stored and sign the short termers. Merida is going to cost £2m and Magnus for 650k. I will also be adding Alan Lee on a free transfer.

I'll have a screenshot update shortly.

As you can see, without Magnus, I am ****ed. I have to wait a month and a half until he comes back.

Is there any screenshots that anyone wants to see?

Well, the season is over.

I will upload the save game soon. Just waiting to get to the date.
We got manager of the year.

A better manager will do a lot more with the team. I sucked big time. When I was top of the league I could never break free.

I'll have it uploaded in a bit. I'm going to save it early to give you a bit more time to shape your team. That's if everyone doesn't mind.

I think it might make more sense to stop the games on June 1st instead of July 1st. Do you guys agree?

So, "new" Manager, new season. And a whole new approach. First off I went through the Staff room and revamped it, upgrading our training system and giving it a few more stars by signing new coaches.





Next up we have the new tactical system for the upcoming season; Sean's was probably a bit too avant garde for the League Two, and I'm more comfortable with this tactic since I used it in my Leeds game.



As you can see Merida's going to have a crucial role on the left, with Elkram still being essential on the center, supporting Kevin Phillips who has been great so far, despite the age.




Speaking of age, the club has taken a new direction concerning players. We have signed great, but young talent; and disposed of a few golden oldies. Some retired, some were simply let go, some are on the transfer list. This is our activity on the transfer market so far:



Still quite below the 5M given by the board for the new season (at the ambitious proposal of a top-half finish.)




The three new players brought in were as follows:



From Man Utd, a great youngster who hopefully will take control of the midfield as our box-to-box.



As another backup for the important midfield role, we have



Brought from Chelsea as a good prospect, we'll see if he can be useful.



And finally,



As we desperately needed to re-enforce the right side of the defence (Colin Wilde and Dale Bennett are very young and not so good).




Now, the pre-season is done and these were the results. Fairly good ones considering the closeness of the games and the change in tactics/players. We got West Brom in the first round of the Carling Cup, which could be better, but we'll see.





So, all in all, a good start in the pre-season, still too early to really have any idea, and we still must dive in the transfer market (I've tried all sorts of deals for great youngsters but the reputation of club/league is very poor). We really need a goalkeeper and possibly another winger.

Reactions?

I like it. I didn't bother with coaches and training because I didn't think any player on the Blue Square South team would be with us in a couple years, so I'm glad that someone finally did it. The signings look good, and the team looks like it's coming together a little.

And here's the much needed keeper. Our scout (I also bought a new one, along with a new physio) says he's much better than Söderberg. Pricey, let's see if he steps up to the price tag.








edit: First game of the season, 3-1 win.

Unfortunately a Championship team is much too strong for us. Very good game though, Cech's goal was a consequence of the all-out attack after Diao's goal. Still a pretty good performance from the team, and they did have Scott Carson who is insane in goal.

I found that you can get decent guys in for 3 month loans.
Good to see you're going for youth. Definitely needed. Good to see you fixed the training/coaches as well. I got the academy/training facilities upgraded before I left so hopefully it will start producing new talent.

Not bad for our first ever Carling Cup game. Looking forward to the FA Cup. I challenge you to beat my 3rd Round run ;).
