Sorry to disappoint you. I did agonize over the decision. If it matters to either of you, I only plan on using Wigan as a stepping stone

I'm still quite lost. Mizzourah told me he didn't get a book with the game.

I've started over to see if I can make any more sense out of it. How do I sell a player that I can see is "wanted"?

What about the greyed out players on the reserve and U-18 squads? I can't use them at all?

One last thing, every time I try to save a training plan (or whatnot), it doesn't save. When I load up the game again, the default training is shown.

Is there a suggested training regime as well?

If a guy is wanted you can see what teams are interested in his profile by clicking on one of the tabs (either personal or transfer.) Just because a team is interested, doesn't necessarily mean they will bid on him. However, if you want you can offer him to clubs. I tend to avoid that because I think it makes it clear I REALLY want to move him and they low ball me. But, if you don't want to wait for them to make an offer it can be helpful.

Greyed out players are guys that are sort of place holders. They are fictional players who are not signed to full contracts and are strictly there on a month to month basis. At least that is my understanding of them.

Are you sure your training plan isn't saved but lower on the list, there is a way to scroll through the different training plans, and once you design a plan you need to go to the assignment tab on the left and click that which brings up a screen where you can assign guys to various training regimens.

As far as Todd not getting a book, perhaps he imported a foreign copy that for some reason didn't include it? That would be my only guess. I'm sure people will be glad to answer any questions that come up as you go. I know I will.

Poli · 03-01-2005, 06:11 PM

Gah. I didn't know I had to assign it to each player.

Eaglesfan27 · 03-01-2005, 06:21 PM

I tend to create specific training plans (rather I use modified versions of the famous "gary" training schedules) and I assign different schedules to keepers, defenders, midfielders, and attackers.

Brian Little has left Tranmere to take over as manager at Hull. Hull are currently 23rd in the Championship.

An Update on Harrogate:

They have started getting some ties and a few wins. In their last 10 games, they have 3 wins, 4 ties, and 3 losses. They have moved up to 23rd place in the League One and with a few more wins could avoid relegation.

Stuart Elliott was selected to the Championship team of the week.

Wycombe has agreed to send striker Greg Pearson here for 40,000 dollars. My scout saw him score a hat trick a few weeks ago, and thinks he really has potential. The 22 year old striker has agreed to a 1,000/week deal for 3 years.

Today we travel to play QPR. QPR run a 3-5-2 and have a strong midfield and a potent attack. They are currently in 8th place while we are currently in 17th. QPR's defense is led by Danny Shittu who has been playing superb defense all year. His main partner Abdeslam Quaddou is injured and Gino Padula will really have to step up his game this match. Christian Roberts has been leading the offense with Shane Paul supporting him well up front. Midfielders Marcus Bean and Martin Rowlands have been dominating the ball in their sections of the pitch. This will be a tough team for us to beat, but we need to rise to the occasion.

QPR are 6-4 favorites

It's sunny with temperatures in the mid 70's today.

Crud! I accidently deleted the play by play in the game before I posted it and am now past the game.

We won 2-0 in a hard fought game. Begeorgi had a goal on an assist from Elliott. Elliott was subsequently hurt in the 15th minute and I had to bring Nicell on in the midfield and move Lunt to left wing.

Graham came on as a sub at the 70th minute mark and after a great pass from Lunt made a move on the keeper, Chris Day. Chris Day tripped Graham and earned himself a red card in the process. The backup keeper had to come face Graham for the penalty shot which Graham buried for the final margin of 2-0.

Every player except the injured Elliott had an 8 for form and Teale won MoM.

Today we face Charlton at home. We are currently in 16th place. Charlton is currently in 1st and is running away with the League. They have already guaranteed promotion and will likely win the league title. They are led by the superb play of midfielder Michael Tonge. He has 13 goals and 17 assists on the season. Francis Jeffers is a phenomenal striker who has 25 goals on the year. He is complemented by Jason Euell who has 15 goals on the year. Left winger Paul Konchesky is a skilled player. Right winger Dennis Rommedahl is difficult to defend. Jonathan Fortune anchors the defensive line. Peter Enckelman has been starting in goal lately and has played well, but Stephan Andersen is likely to start. He has played very well in goal.

They are heavy 4-5 favorites.

It's raining and temperatures are in the low 50's today.

51 minute mark: Fortune tackles Teale who was on a breakaway.

54 minute mark: Mares with a long through ball to Kelly who beats the keeper but has no angle.. he passes it back to Begeorgi, but the pass is wide wasting a great scoring opportunity.

65 minute mark: kelly dribbles down the left sideline.. crosses to Begeorgi who heads it.. barely wide left.

70 minute mark: Graham on for Begeorgi who is tired. Nicell on for Teale who is tired.

90 minute mark: Nicell with a tenacious play to steal it at midfield.. he has really impressed at right wing.. he steals it.. passes it to Graham.. great pass.. Graham shoots.. upper right corner.. Andersen with a great save.

Game over! An impressive 1-0 win for us

They outshot us 15-8 (6-5 on goal)

Swindon has been relegated from the Championship.

Bury has been relegated from League Two.

We have moved up to 14th place. With 3 games to play, there is a slim chance we can move into the top half of the table with a few more wins. We are currently 3 points behind the 11th placed team. We have definitely guaranteed that we will not be relegated this year.

SunDancer · 03-01-2005, 10:56 PM

Striker Matt Harrold has asked to be placed on the transfer list. He actually has developed nicely on the reserve squad this year and while I comply with his wishes, I decide I need to get him some PT this upcoming year as a rotator if he continues to develop.

So will the patch "kick in" in the off-season, or even now?

Today we travel to play Sheff Wed. They are currently in 18th place while we are in 14th place. Sheff Wed has been plagued by the long standing injury to their top centreback, Chris Doig. He is questionable for this game and it will be interesting to see if he comes back tonight. Right fullback Jon Otsemobor has played well for the defense. Left winger Chris Brunt has been a creative player who has 10 assists and 6 goals on the season. Striker Szilard Nemeth has 14 goals and has been the main scorer for the team, but Lee Peacock and Ian Stonebridge have each chipped in 8 goals on the year. Their keeper Stefan Postma has played either very well or very bad in most of his games, he has 14 clean sheets in 44 starts, but has given up 2.5 goals/game in his other 30 starts. It will be interesting to see what end of the split we end up on tonight.

They are 6-4 favorites.

It's going to be overcast with temperatures in the mid 40's.

Today we have our last game on TV for the year. We are hosting Stoke today. We are currently in 13th place and Stoke is in 15th place. Stoke's right fullback Simon Francis is hurt and this will hurt their defense. Centreback Antonio Soldevilla will have to step up and play well this game. Keeper Neil Alexander has a split personality like the last keeper we faced. He has 17 clean sheets, but has given up 2.3 goals/game in his other 29 starts. Striker Leon Knight is the main source of offense with 16 goals, but Gifton Noel-Williams also has 10 goals. Midfielder James Chambers has played good defense and offense for them.

We are 5-4 favorites.

Any idea for why you have the messy finances? How will you fix it?

Great season. Hopefully you can carry that mometum in that last 1/3 of the season into next year.

Just curious, of the big clubs, any new "powers" or did any fall from the "top"?

Mark Smyth rejected Harrogate's new contract offer today because he felt the basic wage was too low.

Leicester has signed a Bosman contract with Jason Roberts. The contentious (but talented) striker will be leaving us on July 1st, 2009 when his current contract expires (I'm really tempted to terminate his contract, but I don't want to be known as the type of manager that just fires players.) I've tried to shop him and my other 3 guys whose contracts are expiring, but have had no takers since they are all available soon for no transfer fee.

The other 3 who appear certain to leave are Baines, Ward, and Wright.

Darn. Darren Ward is going to Plymouth which will be competing against me in the Championship next year. Hard to see these good players go to competitors.

Another player goes to a rival. Leighton Baines will go to Everton which has been relegated into the Championship. We will be facing some old friends soon. At least these departures will clear some significant salary once they go.

David Wright will also be staying in the Championship after signing a deal with Cardiff City.

Exeter have won promotion to League Two.

Poli FOFC Survivor Join Date: Apr 2002 Location: Wentzville, MO	I'm still quite lost. Mizzourah told me he didn't get a book with the game. I've started over to see if I can make any more sense out of it. How do I sell a player that I can see is "wanted"? What about the greyed out players on the reserve and U-18 squads? I can't use them at all? One last thing, every time I try to save a training plan (or whatnot), it doesn't save. When I load up the game again, the default training is shown. Is there a suggested training regime as well? __________________ Cheer for a walk on quarterback! Ardent leads the Vols in the dynasty forum.

Eaglesfan27 Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: New Jersey	April 4, 2009 - Today we host Ipswich. We are currently in 18th place. They are currently in 9th place and playing well lately. They are led by the high scoring duo Dean Bowditch and Pablo Counago who each have 14 goals. Their right winger Danny Guthrie has added 9 goals and has 11 assists. Centreback Aidan Collins has played very well for the defense. Keepeer Alexandrs Kolinko has played well lately with 3 clean sheets in the last 5 games.

An Update on Harrogate: They have started getting some ties and a few wins. In their last 10 games, they have 3 wins, 4 ties, and 3 losses. They have moved up to 23rd place in the League One and with a few more wins could avoid relegation. __________________ Retired GM of the eNFL 2007 Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles (19-0 record.)

They are currently in 8th place while we are currently in 17th. QPR's defense is led by Danny Shittu who has been playing superb defense all year. His main partner Abdeslam Quaddou is injured and Gino Padula will really have to step up his game this match. Christian Roberts has been leading the offense with Shane Paul supporting him well up front. Midfielders Marcus Bean and Martin Rowlands have been dominating the ball in their sections of the pitch. This will be a tough team for us to beat, but we need to rise to the occasion. QPR are 6-4 favorites It's sunny with temperatures in the mid 70's today.

Eaglesfan27 Hall Of Famer Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: New Jersey	Crud! I accidently deleted the play by play in the game before I posted it and am now past the game. We won 2-0 in a hard fought game. Begeorgi had a goal on an assist from Elliott. Elliott was subsequently hurt in the 15th minute and I had to bring Nicell on in the midfield and move Lunt to left wing. Graham came on as a sub at the 70th minute mark and after a great pass from Lunt made a move on the keeper, Chris Day. Chris Day tripped Graham and earned himself a red card in the process. The backup keeper had to come face Graham for the penalty shot which Graham buried for the final margin of 2-0. Every player except the injured Elliott had an 8 for form and Teale won MoM. __________________ Retired GM of the eNFL 2007 Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles (19-0 record.)

Charlton is currently in 1st and is running away with the League. They have already guaranteed promotion and will likely win the league title. They are led by the superb play of midfielder Michael Tonge. He has 13 goals and 17 assists on the season. Francis Jeffers is a phenomenal striker who has 25 goals on the year. He is complemented by Jason Euell who has 15 goals on the year. Left winger Paul Konchesky is a skilled player. Right winger Dennis Rommedahl is difficult to defend. Jonathan Fortune anchors the defensive line. Peter Enckelman has been starting in goal lately and has played well, but Stephan Andersen is likely to start. He has played very well in goal. They are heavy 4-5 favorites. It's raining and temperatures are in the low 50's today.

Sheff Wed has been plagued by the long standing injury to their top centreback, Chris Doig. He is questionable for this game and it will be interesting to see if he comes back tonight. Right fullback Jon Otsemobor has played well for the defense. Left winger Chris Brunt has been a creative player who has 10 assists and 6 goals on the season. Striker Szilard Nemeth has 14 goals and has been the main scorer for the team, but Lee Peacock and Ian Stonebridge have each chipped in 8 goals on the year. Their keeper Stefan Postma has played either very well or very bad in most of his games, he has 14 clean sheets in 44 starts, but has given up 2.5 goals/game in his other 30 starts. It will be interesting to see what end of the split we end up on tonight. They are 6-4 favorites. It's going to be overcast with temperatures in the mid 40's.

We are currently in 13th place and Stoke is in 15th place. Stoke's right fullback Simon Francis is hurt and this will hurt their defense.
