Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Straight promotions to the Premier League with AFC Telford from the Conference North and a 13th place finish in our first season, no clue why it's going so well but I won't complain! Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Still plenty of high scoring games. Just had a 5-5 game away against villa. Won 5-2 against Leicester just a few games ago. Scored 4 in the opening 18 mins if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Yah there were only 5 changes to the ME and none were major. Link to post Share on other sites
boroinbishop 65 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Really struggling in the prem, currently 18th in Feb struggling to find a working tactic that doesn't involve conceding a minimum of two a game Link to post Share on other sites
boroinbishop 65 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Survived with two games to go.... been given a transfer budget next season of 50 million, crazy Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Either you keep plenty of clean sheets or you concede massive amounts of goals. Conceding shedloads of goals is a given. In my first 15 games in the Prem I have conceded a whopping 37 goals. I have scored 30 too which is the third highest in the league. Just played poor Hull at home. Was leading 2-0 inside the first 17 mins and then BOOM three goals conceded before half time and I lost 2-4. Just lost 4 games in a row against teams below me and I'm now in the bottom three. It's going to be a looong season (if I'm not sacked). Got no idea how to stop conceding. Think I'm conceding from 99/100 crosses. Link to post Share on other sites
Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I was given a 50 mil transfer budget with Telford in my second season in the Prem, currently pushing for Europa League spot with one of my star men being Jack Wilshere strangely enough Link to post Share on other sites
TheTeessideOne 4 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Playing with Boro in the premier league has always been an absolute nightmare for the first season, always concede about 3+ goals per game. Link to post Share on other sites
boroinbishop 65 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Managed to spend all of my 50m budget, the agent fees are ridiculous. Out: Kieran Trippier - £10m Gibson (loan) Marco Motta - £300k Abraham - £150k Alex Baptiste - £350k Friend - £1m Botinaelli - £500k Downing- £500k In: Pau Lopez - £13m young goalkeeper from spain rated 3.5 star with 4.5 star potential, only 22 but is already proving to be a top class keeper, has earned me about 6 points already after 5 games. Pablo Sarabia - £1.5m Left sided winger but can play across the front 3, mainly used as a backup player Riyad Mahrez - £12.5M - valued at 15m but with leicester sitting mid table championship i managed to unsettle him and get him on the cheap, perfect inside forward. Julio Buffarini - £3m Brought him in as a replacement for trippier on the cheap, doing just as good a job so far Sven Bender - free - possibly my best signing, not in ability but will have a good resale value after a season or two, might get 12-14m for him, 100% profit and will do a job until then Marc Standera - £15.5m - my most expensive signing, will start in the AMC role, once again a young player with potential to develop into something special Aaron Creswell - £5.25m - replacement for husband as he just wasn't good enough for this level other signings include the likes of Kasper Schmeichel, nacho from swansea and Josue, a backup AMC, all for fairly nominal fee's My lineup looks like this GK: Pau Lopez/ Scheichel LB: Aaron cresswell/ Husband CB: Eder Balanta/ Ayala CB: Guillermo Burdisso/ Grillo RB: Nacho/ Julian buffarini CM (BBM) : Alfred Duncan/ Forshaw/ Leadbitter CM (BWM) : Bender/ Fernando Tissone AML (w): Rodrigo De Paul / Sarabia AMC (ap): Standera / Josue AMR: (if) Mahrez / Adomah / Stuani ST: (af) David Selke / Stuani / Kike games so far: Man U (a) 1-1 Everton (h) 2-1 Millwall (a) (Cup) 1-2 Liverpool (h) 1-0 Tottenham (h) 1-3 Aresnal (a) 0-0 next up is chelsea, talk about a hard start to the fixture list, happy with how its going though, draws against ***nal and man u away are good points for a team expected to be fighting relegation as was the wins at everton and Liverpool, was down to 10 men against spurs from early on so wasn't really expecting much there, sitting 7th in the table after 5 games with very winnable games all the way up until boxing day after this chelsea game so hopefully can put a run together. Also a mention to both Chapman and Jakupovic who are both ripping it up in the chapionship so far this season, at 18 years old, hopefully they'll be around my first team squad next season Link to post Share on other sites

Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 My star striker who has scored 11 in 11 just broke his leg in November and is out for the season, taking Telford's top 4 hopes along with him... Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Think they made the game a bit too easy with the post Jan patch... Hope I haven't spoken too soon though! I've signed literally nobody btw. Link to post Share on other sites
