I'm top of the Championship with 5 games left. Just won a game after a shocking 1 point from the 3 prior.
Solskjaer has decided to sto pscoring again after a great run of form though :x

update on my game:
After winning the play off final in 05/06, was in the championsip 06/07.
Signed some decent (but oldish) players, Heidar Helgusson, Graham Kavanagh, David Thompson & Stephen Caldwell.
Was midtable for most of the season, then the inspired signing of Antoine Siberski for £0 ( 19 games 17 goals 9 assists) shot me into 5th. Sadly my luck finally ran out and I lost the play off final 2-1 to Palace.
Some more wheeler dealing in 07/08 pre season including the signing of 2 columbian internationals Cardenas & Humberto Mendoza (who half of europe is trying to buy off me) signed an aussie striker called Scott McDonald and paid decent money for Noe Paramot and Stephen Bywater. Also got Rincon on loan from man u all season who is ace.
When I turned it off last night my record was P32 D6 L1, but still only 5 points clear of Villa, who somehow managed to A. get relegated despite having good players and B. keep that team together in the championship. I'm a good 15 points clear of Norwich in 3rd though.
Those of you who have Cardenas (si pie and someone else?) where do you play him? left footed right wingers piss me off. I've trained him up to be a striker and hes doing pretty well for me now - took half a season to get him "accomplished" though and he was a bit crap in the meantime

I just got to the premiership after winning the title by 1 point.
Signed Rincon which is ace.
I play Cardenas in AMC, but he's still so young so I use him sparingly. All of his stats have/are approaching 20s except physical stats. He's the best player in my squad at responding to training!

What formation do you play ? I've pretty much played 4-4-2 all season with occasional tinkering Most of Cardenas apperances have been off the becnch for me, only just started him up front because Siberski was a money grabbing jew and has signed a pre-contract with Villa for next season. I rescued his career FFS. He's never playing for me again. I managed to piss off half my squad and the fans by saying he's be shit recently to the media and fining him 2 weeks wages for being unproffesional. He is currently being re-trained with the U19's as a goalkeeper. Shouldnt really play whilst drinking

I'm struggling.
Only using the original game, no updates or owt. Also I'm only running English leagues, so have a really small database of players.
Won League 1 at the first attempt, followed by relegation, followed by winning League 1 again with a goal difference of nearly 50. 4 games into the Championship again and I've lost them all.
Due to the small database I find it very hard to actually find players who are any good although I do have Fitz Hall who is pretty damn good, also signed Dong Fangzhoo from Utd who looked good pre-season but fucked off to the Olympics the day the season started.
No matter where I look it's impossible to sign anyone good enough, all because my machine isn't fast enough to run other leagues.
Searched on players mentioned on here, but most of them don't exist in my game!

I play a 4-4-2 diamond.
Works pretty well, but you have to tinker with the individual player tactics to get it right.
My problem is finding a decent striker that actually scores goals. Think my top scorer has only got about 19 in one season, but both strikers score equally and the AMC chips in with loads. Hopefully if I can get that striker that will get me 25+ a season I'll be laughing.
If you want a decent young DMC, get Nik Besagno (USA), his stats go up and he always plays well (at least rating 8 per game). Managed to keep him which was lucky, as his contract was up in the summer before the Prem.

Scott McDonald has done well for me in the championship, finishing is only 15 though, so he does miss a few. Makes up for it by being creative though - gets as many assists as goals.
I had a look at Besagno , but got priced out of the deal. hes playing for some eyetye team now

nik besagno was the key to my success at QPR, my man city team and now my newcastle team. the kid is amazingly good. i'm odds-on favourite to win the league this year, after 10 games i'm 2nd, 3 points behind arsenal (who i beat 4-0 at their place  ), 1st in my euro champions cup group (sporting cp, wisla and real madrid in my group, beaten them all so far. woop!) when i was at man city i sold one of my strikers, Michael Joyce, to chelsea for £30m. now at newcastle i bought him for £12m. he's only 24. awesome. my newcastle team is ace

just been changing stuff on the editor, bringing in wise, poyet, bill power et al and getting rid of the rest and started a new game. this is what i've been presented with :shock: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/option30/bloodyhell.jpg£5.5m!!!!! i didn't change anything, just gave us a £250k transfer budget (was going to do half a mil, as power said he'd spend that much if neccesary but thought it was a bit excessive!) and got rid of the cva repayment. madness.
