Got it this morning, I don;t go mad on games like but it's good...

Liverpool have no money what so ever. They give a budget of �8m but there are no descent players available for that. Still savage game.

#5 (**permalink**) 20th October 2006, 10:40 AM

Considering what Rafa had already spent before you took over I think 8 is pretty good..

Joe Strummer · #6 (**permalink**) 20th October 2006, 12:01 PM

I went Barcalona first off. Awesome squad but only 3.4m to spend! What the fuck!

Momo is class on it

You're probably right rafa had spent a fair bit. Stevie Finnan could be a bit better but thats clutching at strays. Dissapointed how poorly they have made robbie!!!

Doing a Juve League, 20games in and I still havent lost and im only about 5 points behind after starting with a 17point deduction. Battered Chievo in the Italian Cup aswell.

You lose an absolute shitload of money though as they're only playing in a 25k stadium while the other one is done up and you have a huge wage bill in Serie bloody B.

Started playing a couple of days ago. Sold Zenden, Pennant, Crouch, Warnock and bought Huntaleaar and Marcelo and kid called Luka modric. Got drawn against Fenerbache in the qualifying round of the CL. Battered them 4 - 0. Kuyt is good. Hired about 4 new scouts and coaches and now Searching for "Wonderkids"

Yeah it worth buying, it's a good game.. just make sure you're lad though doesn't end up like this, and I'm not talking about him going German.

Nutty German

..only bad thing is Chelsea have just bought Kaka for �55m then Klose for �15m.. as Liverpool I could only afford Dave Nugent and Freddy Adu..

Same here except I've lost once to a last miniute pen away at some mad team, and I got Chievo too, scraped through two one...The finacial side is a pain in the arse though, I'm currently 8 mill in debt. I signed a fair few players but sold a few to make it even out..

I bought Petri Pasanen for 2 mill who is absolute quality, average rating of 9.00 and solid as fuck at the back. Nearly always man of the match too with Trezeguet. Then I went and got Leon Andreasen who is a star in the making, cost 1.2 mill and him and Pasenen are a quality pairing at the back. Then I went and got Maduro from Ajax who doing alright, for the future really...

Out, Boumsong (what type of crazy bastid would have him as a centre half), Kovac and a few others....

I just hope I can gain promotion and get a bit of dosh before I get into serious debt...

I downloaded it works perfectly well,good game better then 06.Quite hard but that makes the game more enjoyable.

Maldini · #14 (**permalink**) 23rd October 2006, 10:25 PM

I've had it for a few days. Been scouting furiously since I got it, trying to find wonderkids, I've a squad of about 40 for the u18s :)

Tried to sign Marcelo the brazilian LB who looks a bargain but I can't get a work permit for him, anyone know of any other good young players?

The scouting is so much better in this game, you actually pay attention to what they say

FOWLER IS GOD · #15 (**permalink**) 24th October 2006, 12:43 PM

zaccardo from palermo is good.

truefan999 · #16 (**permalink**) 24th October 2006, 05:24 PM

The game is dull. The match representation is crap.

Stick to CM01/02 with an updated database. Mine is updated to the start of this season

John101 · #17 (**permalink**) 24th October 2006, 08:20 PM

i bought some awsome 16 yr old from colombia. best player on the game, he has won world player of the year for me on our way to beating chelsea in cl final was class, david villa hattrick

jamespp · #20 (**permalink**) 27th October 2006, 07:07 PM

I bought it last weekend and ive done crap, after a good pre season,a lot of first team players had Very Poor morale for some reason

The fans were very dissapointed in my appointment

I got rid of Aurelio because he had a go at me

I got rid of Gary Ablett cos hes shite

I then got beat 2-0 in the CS, could of been 6-0 and lost away to Portsmouth 2-0 without having a shot

Assuming you're Liverpool ask the Board for a feeder club and 9 times out of ten one of them will be Belgian. Recommend the Belgian club to the board and they should go with your idea. You can then buy Marcelo, or any other Brazilian (as long as they're over 1

and despite not getting a WP they'll still sign for you allowing you to ship them to your feeder club for a while.

Belgian and Polish clubs are the best as they have the shortest waiting times for WP.

I got him eventually and farmed him out to Gimnastic (my Spanish feeder club) for a few months, then he just randomly became available to I recalled him

I'm struggling to find the right tactics though

Are most people just playing a normal 4-4-2?
