Anyone who saw my post on the official board may have seen a desperate plea for help regarding my FM hero Mokoena, - he wouldn't go to my Belgium feeder club – signed him couldn’t play him.
Simple sollution, in desperation I offered him a new contract and he got the work permit!

Got a good young team forming:

Gk Lastuvka
LB Gareth Bale
RB Nedum Onuoha
CB Dan ****tu
CB Clark Carlisle
DM Al Banguara
AM Lebohang Mokoena
LM Freddy Adu
RM Ashley Young
CF Marlon King
CF Eddie Johnson

Subs
GK Richard Lee
D/DM Didier Digard
S Lasse Qvist
AM Benedict Vilakazi
CM Damian Francis
LM Tommy Smith
LB Jordon Stewart
RB Lloyd Doyley

I’ve only just started the friendly matches for 2nd season (In the Prem!), so have made quite a few changes in a short space of time (guess that’s why my loyalty has dropped to 9!)

lol that team is VERY similar to mine as i too signed the czech keeper Jan Lastuvka, Lebohang Mokoena and Freddy Adu lol, great minds think alike :D:D:D:D Al bangura is very good on my game , a star in the making :)

[lm_wfc]

great minds think alike :D:D:D:D
yeah, the great minds choose not to sign them ;)

i signed eddie johnson for watford and he only got me 4 goals in my unfortunate relegation season, i got helguson back on loan and he got me 10, king got me only a poor 5 along with bouazza. young was out for the majority with a broken leg and only bagged 2.

in desperation i signed joao pinto who has played 4 and scored 2. nethertheless i will bounce back up( i hope ).

another point i signed eddie johnson for pompy and he got me 16 goals in that season.

I reckon Woody will plummet down to league two (might have been one, but i'm pretty sure it was 2) just like he did on fm06 ;D

ouchy :)

i am premier league, say i am premier league.
Chris Sutton top scorer so far with 8. King with 3, Young with 3, Mokoena with 5, Adu with 1, ****tu with 1.

Im 2 places above relegation zone; but quite a few points ahead of sheffiel united, aston villa and fulham who are in relegation zone. :)

[WoodyWfc]

sshhhhhhh chewitt damn you,

[WatfordÉire]

how much dosh do watty start with in fm 07?

[Aberystwyth_Hornet]

how much dosh do watty start with in fm 07?

£3 Million, which isn't too bad.
Stayed up and got £7 Million for my 2nd season, still have £1.6 mil for Jan in case things go wrong.
First 3 Games drew 3.3 with Spurs
2.2 With Liverpool
2.2 With Southampton

Think i might need to sort the defence...

NO PROBS UP FRONT THOUGH;D UNLIKE THE REAL TEAM

[lm_wfc]

i signed brian mcbride for 15ok straight away, hes had 3 injuries in as amny months but looked good when he played

[luke_golden]

Just started my 4th season as Watford (who needs lectures when you have fm?) and after 3 seasons of relegation battles my decison to turn to youth backfired and relegation was a certainty before i reached the january transfer window and invested heavily, too little to late unfortunately, a 4-0 defeat away to Man Utd on the final day left me 3 points adrift of the 17th place.

Started the season well in the Championship, top after 9 games, winning them all.

Heres my team.

GK: Ben Foster
RB: Sergey Ignashevic
LB: Jelle Van Damme
CB: Karim Heggui
CB: Micheal Schmoller
RW: Bret Emerton
LW: Ashley Young
CM: Kristoffer Haestad
CM: Lucas/Al Bang Bang
CF: Cesar Delgado
CF: Carlos Javier Acuna

Last about to start my 3rd season in the Prem…though the times they are a changing. No longer are the fans or board happy with fighting relegation - Graham Simpson now expects me to be mid-table!

Unfortunately due to various players refusing to leave/not being wanted my wage bill was high so I ended up making a 3 mil loss!

As a result the board have only given me 4 mil to get mid-table…I finished 12th last season, but I don’t think I will achieve that again, shouldn't get relegated though.

How long does this game you speak of take to play??

[UEA_Hornet]

How long does this game you speak of take to play??

A very long time! It's extremely time consuming and sucks you in. Can easily distract me from my studies for hours at a time.

UEA speaks the truth, I can single handedly blame my dropping out of my law degree on the release of FM 06. My attendance of lectures dropped considerably after the release.

We can only pray i find the time for my History lectures next year or it'll be another year of uni for me!

[jobr]

That bad?

[lm_wfc]

it depends on how into it you get, you probably could do a season in about 10 hours if you didnt goinnto detail.


by the looks of your post count, time is something you have lots of anyway.

[jobr]

No time is something i use wisely.

[troppohorn]

i lost one of my girlfriends to fm06 and i must admit i cannot pull myself away from fm07 but i must not be any good as i can never kepp watford in the premier league.
i always sign decent players but for some reson they never perform for watford

i have found owen garvan from ipswich is a gem also vincent enyema and didier digard.

[Chewitt]

i lost one of my girlfriends to fm06.

Was it a part-exchange plus cash deal ;D

[Evasive]

Lol !!!

[Chewitt]

I heard she gets around a bit so i hope you had a sell on clause ;D

[lm_wfc]

or maybe some sort of fee per 'goal'?

[watford_pyro]

just started 3rd season as watford and frankly this game scares me sum times firsst season signed ellington and tht was it qualified for europe second season heavily strengthaned squad and finished 17th hopefully this year shall be a repeat of the first

[WoodyWfc]

in the championship currently and im doing alright, at the moment im in mid table after 19 games, bouazza and eddie johnson upfront - extreme pace, so i play long ball for them to run onto.

[StuBoy]

I got St.Albans City promoted to the Conference and won the F.A Trophy in the same season the other day. I was pleased with that achievement. :D

[Harrow Orn]

Im 10th after 16 games in my first season. I got Hossam Ghali and Serwyn Gancarkyk (sp!!) whos a LM. Top score is Ashley Young with 8. And then Aliadiere with 7 who i loaned in.
