Administrators Derek Posted April 15, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2022 You can post it here mate. Squad and Transfer screen please. Mine should be done tomorrow too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tempelman Posted April 16, 2022 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2022 Little harder than I thought... Especially getting good English players for decent fees. Spoiler: I've kinda overspent on Rice and Dier... And Dier isn't homegrown. Crap. I missed that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Derek Posted April 16, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2022 It’s a tough challenge in fairness. Maybe I just didn’t want Utd to be too good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tempelman Posted April 16, 2022 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2022 I have kinda rushed through it... I was too focused on buying players, not looking for decent free transfers. Also, more focused on foreign talent than English home-grown players. I got a decent starting XI though the bench isn't really good quality. Don't think I will make the challenge lol, 7M left, 3 players left to buy.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Derek Posted April 16, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2022 You might need a couple of free transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tempelman Posted April 16, 2022 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2022 This post was recognized by Derek! Tempelman was awarded the badge 'Great Content' and 50 points. Completed, including last day totally panic buys 10 players classified as home-grown... Don't expect too much lol Edit: What I found amusing (and pretty realistic) is that players actually demand more salary than when I would try to sign them for a lower reputation club. I've never managed clubs from the beginning with worldwide reputations so that was kinda new for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Derek Posted April 16, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2022 It's a good side mate in fairness for what you had to work with. It's interesting as I've started mine and will post tonight but we've signed a couple of the same players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tempelman Posted April 16, 2022 Moderators Share Posted April 16, 2022 Rice is the biggest signing but one I found needed... Onana was cheap for a worldclass GK, Shunin... Not happy with that, could have bought a cheaper and better keeper. I bought Dier because I thought he would be HG, but he isn't. Timber and Gravenbergh actually are not good enough yet. I can go on, I should have been more on the look out for free transfers and HG players. All do have good potential though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Derek Posted April 16, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2022 So here we go. I messed up with Adeyemi as he didn't qualify for a work permit so I grabbed Belotti on the cheap as an option off the bench. I kept the squad as youthful as possible but there are a few young marque players including Bellingham, Nkunku, Nunez and Lamptey.
