New Gameworld - Humble beginings

So i made the Toms Grassroots Final & just my luck my new gameworld opened the day i was due to play the game, Those of you who play fml will know just how hard it is to get to a UFFA final.I have since been told the result but feel it was a hollow victory.

English manager Nick Megarity's high flying Dodgy Knee United have won the ninety-four-club UFFA Toms Grassroots Cup after their 3-0 win over Lithuanian manager Deividas Januska's reigning champions Daveland Sparks in the Final. (Thanks Nik for passing me that link).

As i say a hollow victory,3-0 abandoned game the opposition failed to submit a team in time. But hey it was all my efforts to get there in the 1st place.Thanks to everyone in gameworld Toms that made my 2 months in there very much enjoyable, David,Nik,Liam,Lee,Enrico & Sam good luck in there don't let them drive you mad.

So Dodgy Knee United has moved onto gameworld Muhren which is 1 of the new beginer gameworlds. But as per the norm quite a few are old hands in there to show there skills off to those new to fml, Quite a few of the managers are testing how far they can push things. But there are also a few prepared to help out in game much to the benefit of the community in general - thanks guys its very much appreciated. Luckily i knew most of the mod team i am working from my time in gameworld shearer, The only 2 i hadn't worked with before are Al Moon (gw Saunders) & Michael Phillips (gw lofthouse i think). Everyone seems keen so far on making sure the rules are abide by even if at times we have all spent longer than expected logged on.

My side in Muhren does need plenty of work doing on it so i think even though season 1 only started last night i might right it off now & get saving for the contract wage auctions at the end of this season. But only time will tell if i manage to stick to this policy. But either way i will be trying to upgrade my stadium so that i do have a foundation to build from. My 1 & only star is Matt Derbyshire who has started very well for me.

My side in Keane have started doing really well, Having missed the opening week at least of the season i found myself languishing in the bottom 3 of the NFA premiership, But after a couple of decent signings my fortunes have turned & i now occupy 4th spot. Who knows i may even get my ai level down below the 25% limit so i can keep my hard earned prize money. With my foundations in Keane built really well, With a 2 tier Aziendale & 2 tier Mercantile stands built & full of seats & 1 corporate box i am making roughly 50k a day at present, Which i will look to use towards improving the playing staff further at the end of the season.

So into Shearer
gone have all but 13 of my youth team players,those left will be loaned out or sold on if a deal i like crops up. Having exchanged Nilsson with RB for Sergio Mota & a bit of cash i ended on a high in the SFA premiership. With us now in preseason & the contract wage auctions i have been able to add 3 more players & lose 1 to Stephen Gilchrist (thieving toe rag) HEHE. Pedro Ken has been acquired for my right wing berth,Damiano Ferrinetti to replace Sorin my ex right back & also added a bit more cover in midfield with the arrival of Mesut Ozil a German amc who has plenty of pace which at times i feel i was lacking with the players i had at my disposal. I do have a bit more money to play with but i feel this may be better used adding another corporate box than another wage.

Now Ive finally got access to beta gw miller i have managed to look at what is coming in the v1.2 update. Quite enjoying taking part in Guido's quizzes, It does make a change to participate rather than run. Its also fun in there catching up with friends from my time in the Psycho beta gameworld. Even after a month I'm still getting to grips with how these new tactics work, But given time even i should work it out & you can revert it back to the classic settings most people will know. Not having to go into a screen to change tactic,make subs etc is a fantastic addition which im sure plenty will agree with. The face book style page (that i keep forgetting about) does work quite well keeping you upto date with the going ons of your in game friends (friends need to accept your friendship request for this to work).

Any how its getting late & i feel i am beginning to ramble so until i find time again tada
