iLandslaget - Swedish team

[PeterMeter]

Thank you, I moved a couple of the elders out during this season but I do think my squad looks a bit thin.

I'll be updating tomorrow as I finish the season.
Good luck to you too!



Since I am a bit late into introducing my team I'll try and do a short round-up of my first two seasons. I started a team in the days before christmas being home from work and not having much to do. I started out as I guess many of us did, trying to come to grips with how the game handled. I was pretty slow to realize all the small tweaks and twerks that go into producing a decent enough team.

For the better part of my first two seasons I played a narrow 4-1-3-2 or 4-3-3 with some success.
A first season garnered a 2nd place having come into the game on day 4 of that particular season. Sadly I have no memory or dumps of how my record was back then, and no recollection of who did what in terms of the golden shoe etc. The most important thing was that I was promoted to level 2, having befriended a couple of like-minded players. (Few, if any, friendlies and more gifts!)

The second season started with me able to go through the pre-season preparations for the first time. I made some forays into the transfer market shoring up my midfield mainly and buying another striker. My pair for the season was Henry Tsimi and Peter Besirevic, if I remember correctly, and on the bench was my last remaining original team member Petter Broberg who usually did well both in goals and form.
My most notable disappointment from this season was my getting knocked out real early in both the Cup and the Champions League.
I had a good run-in even though I was tightly contested by Ben Vr, who I believe has gone inactive since. I ended up in first place and I'll try to dig up my numbers for this one as I think I posted them somewhere.
I have some players who were acquired during season 2, and then most likely sold on before the end of that season or in the early parts of season 3.
Bollmann, a german MC - 533,000 / Sold for 985,000
Kayal, a swedish DC - 487,000 / Sold for 918,000
Schluter, a german MC - 955,000
Mansur, an indonesian(?) DMC - 528,000 / Sold for 742,000
Crespo, a brazilian back-up AMR - 307,000 / Sold for 376,000
Skukalek, a slovakian DC and DMC - 1,160,000
Tsimi, a cameroonian striker and top scorer - 783,000 / Sold for 872,000
Philipov, a russian GK - 584,000 / Sold for ???
Besirevic, the austrian sharpshooter SA striker - 805,000
Kadar, a hungarian DC and DL - 522,000 / Sold for 757,000

Season three saw a flurry of transfers as I tried to adapt my team to what I saw as a tough grouping with the winner of the previous year's Champions League winner, Glory United (Newnewn Sniper) as well as a couple of players that were familiar to me from previous seasons. After having a go at the pictured 3-2-3-2 I started getting a few poor results and changed it into a 4-4-2 with the left-sided midfielder pushed forward since I didn't have a conventional left midfielder.
If memory serves, new players for this season were:
Cahuzac, the french MC - 650,000 / Sold for 991,000
Imshawi, an iraqi DML and DMC at 4* (28) - 520,000 / Sold for 599,000
Boussaidi, a moroccan DC and DMC - 2,040,000
Bennet, the young french GK - ???
Syx, a belgian DML and DMC - 2,410,000
Sogaard, a danish MC - 2,210,000
Clancy, an irish striker with Sharpshooter SA - 3,340,000
Hai, an israeli MC - 2,930,000

I'll have a post up by sunday with my END OF SEASON 3-stats and some tables and such. From now on I'll try and have a decent update at every end of season as well as some shorter ones as we trundle along.
