    28/7

    Squad numbers are due. You can find you current squadnumbers in your texfile for your club (1st link). Changing numbers are not of the biggest importance, but as the game covers so much, maybe starters feel better in lower numbers.

    So here is my list:

    1. Pilkington (GK) - same as before
    2. Asher (D RC) - same as before
    3. Tankard (D L) - moved from 14
    4. Left open
    5. Left open
    6. Left open
    7. Lawrence (AM/F RC) - moved from 25
    8. Disley (AM C) - moved from 20
    9. Bradley (S C) - same as before
    10. Greenacre (F C) - same as before
    11. Corden (AM RL) - same as before

    12. Hassell (D/DM C) - same as before
    13. Bingham (GK) - same as before
    14. Williamson (AM RL) - moved from 24
    15. Robinson (SW/D/DM RC) - moved from 4 (not worthy :p )
    16. Sisson (AM C) - same as before
    17. Ghaisham (AM R) - same as before
    18. Bacon (F RC) - same as before
    19. Hicks (D C) - moved from 5 (not worthy :p )
    20. Left open
    21. Clarke (D/DM RC) - same as before
    22. Left open
    23. Jervis (D/M L) - same as before
    24. Reddington (D C) - moved from 15
    25. Barrett (D C)- moved from 6 (not worthy :p )
    26. Lazarus (M RC) - same as before
    27. Pemberton (D/F LC) - moved from 3 (not worthy :p )
    28. White J (S C) - same as before

    Not assigned numbers at the moment
    Elliot (S C) - had number 8
    Andrews (D C) - had number 19
    White A (S C) - had number 22
    Beardsley (S C) - had number 27

    If you just want to keep the numbers you already have just say so - there are also 3 ways of auto doing numbers if you want it easy:

    #1 - let the computer clear all numbers and assign new ones - the computer will then assign numbers for your players, leaving some without numbers

    #2 - let the computer assign numbers without clearing first - no new numbers will be assigned, but a few can still be left without numbers

    #3 - clear numbers and give out numbers for a couple of players, then auto the rest like option #1.

    Well - I have moved up past the number assigning now, and option 3 didnt go just as planned... it wanted #16 for Eifion... I then manually changed it to 9.... moving Alexander to 10, and the other attacker to 16.

    I used option 1 for most... clear and assign new numbers automatic.

    haven - the 450k offer for marc bridge-wilkonson of port vale was rejected

    and the 60 k offer for hinds was also rejected

    castor - two clubs bid 150k for adam thwaites....more was interested... I took a calculated risk of negotiating the offer. (180k + something extra later)

    Yupp, the first league round is only days away - a major update at the site to help you all with your selections.

    Here is my options.

    Changed training from fitness (as season is beginning) to tactics for defenders and shooting for rest.

    4-4-2 Attacking

    Mentality: Normal
    Passing: Direct
    Tackling: Hard
    Pressing: Yes
    Offside Trap: Yes
    Counter: No
    Men Behind Ball: No

    I will set corner/free kicks later
    Penalty I will leave to auto (Captains choice)

    I will also let the game chose the captain for me at first.

    DV: Nimes (french club) offered 180K for Romo (150k) - turned down as unacceptable.

    Btw if anyone considering using players for the first team that is listed as a reserve team player - you should tell me to also move him up so he doesnt play reserve team football and is in to bad condition to play first team football.

    Cheltenham will be playing a modified 3-4-3. The outside midfielders will be playing where the game places them initially, with the rearward arrows behind them, but there will be a central attacking mid and a central defensive mid. The fullbacks will remain where the game places them, all with the title DC with the outer two having arrows to the outside.

    GK Steve Book
    DC (leftmost) - Jamie Victory
    DC (center) - Richard Walker
    DC (rightmost) - Mike Duff
    DMC - Neil Howarth
    ML - Christos Moraitis
    MR - Tony Griffin
    AMC - Lee Howells
    FC (leftmost) - Julian Alsop
    FC (center) - Neil Grayson
    FC (rightmost) - Tony Naylor

    SB1 GK Steve Benbow
    SB2 DM C Mark Yates
    SB3 DM L/R Lee Williams
    SB4 D/S C John Brough
    SB5 AM/F RC Hugh McAuley

    Mentality: Attacking
    Passing: Short
    Tackling: Hard
    Pressing: Yes
    Offside Trap: Yes
    Counter Attack: No
    Men Behind Ball: No

    Remove Neil Howarth's free role.
    Forward runs by Howells, Devaney, Griffin.
    Cross balls for Victory and Devaney.
    Through balls for Howells.

    Training instruction

    Mike Davis - Fitness, shooting, skills
    Graham Allner - Fitness
    Bob Bloomer - Tactics, goalkeepers

    All defenders should be in Tactical training.
    Strikers should be in shooting, as well as attacking mids. Midfielders should be in skills.

    Please alter my formation to 3-4-3. Now here's the tricky part:

    instead of having the arrows go down from the wing midfielders, I want them to go UP. That's right, all-out attack, baby! :)

    Adjusted lineup (in more ways than one)

    Forward: Eifion Williams
    Forward: Gary Alexander
    AMC: Dudfield
    LM: David Beresford
    MC: Julian Johnsson
    MC: Scott Kerr
    RM: Ryan Wiliams
    DC: Andy Holt
    DC: Danny Cullip
    DC: Mark Greaves
    GK: Glennon

    My strategy should be the same. Once again, no playmakers.

    Just so it did not dissapear - every time you change a formation it goes back to default, I remember you had something special about some players, so I added them in the new formation too - you want it I presume?

    Btw the new system had both Beresford and Williams crossing and run with the ball - I left all as is and only added what you said. The new system also had Dudfield run with the ball.

    I want you to scout the following players. If most ratings area already visible, don't scout and just tell me the ratings.

    Steven Baker

    Martin Jensen

    Gary Mills

    Alex Dick

    Aminu Sani.

    Gary Fletcher

    jermaine easter

    EDIT: Also, Joe Loncaric and Lasse Hansen
    Also, please mention any interesting 3 star players or above I've found in my searches. Thanks.

    If any of these players "look quite good," you have my permission to negotiate for me. Please don't give the other team more than 300k, however, without my explicit permission.
