World Class Mode

[DC_NUFC]

Just finished third season with Newcastle (I'm on World Class) and I had a great year. Finished 7th in the league, round of 16 for league cup and semifinals for FA Cup. Really good considering I just came up from relegation. I'm looking foreward to next season, I'm in the Uefa Cup and hope to do well.

Here are my previous season highlights:

First Season - Finished 18 and got relegated, got to round of 16 in League Cup and got knocked out in third round of FA Cup
Regated - Wolverhamton, Portsmouth, Me
Promoted - Sheffield United, West Ham, West Brom

Second Season - Finished 6th in division 1, went in playoff and beat out Cardiff and then Reading. Got eliminated 2nd round in FA Cup and League Cup.
Promoted - Me, Sunderland, Wolverhampton
Relegated (Premier) - Fulham, West Brom, Sheffield United

Third Season - its all at top
Promoted - West Brom, Cardiff, Fulham
Relegated - Wolverhampton, Leister, Leeds

This is my starting lineup beginning the fourth season

G= Shay Given

RB= Johnson RCB= Woodgate LCB= Bramble LB= Bernard

RAM= Dyer RCM= Jenas LCM= Viana LAM= Robert

RS=Shearer/Ameobi LS= Alan Smith

All my Transactions have been for strengthening my subs and reserves

Well seeing that you are a Newcastle fan as am I here is what a newcastle squad should look like. It seems to me you are just running the team into the ground. Should we call you Ruud Guilt Jr. Yes I am quoting myself here because I already posted it once.

Yea my team my not be the flashiest and they are not all 90's but I really like my team. I don't go for who has the best stats I go for the players I like. Its more fun that way.

I know everyone likes different players and what have I just thought you would like to see how your newcastle stacks up to other Toon squads.

Oh my god...you bought Jimmy Flloyd...How is he faring ya?

 

[pennington10]

He is my favorite striker I have. Works well with Shearer. Has some pace. Good with headers. His celebration is quite funny too. I would have to say he was my best buy.

First of all, its not changed much because I train a lot. Alan Smith is 86, Jenas 83, Viana 84, Dyer 92, Robert 87, my backs are all over 80 and shearer is 90. I forget Given's. Anyway's, all my transfers have been for my reserves.

My bench is
Robert Earnshaw
Barry Fergusen
Babyaro
Chopra
David Carr
Shaun Wright Phillips
Some Chinese Keeper
and I forget the others. I still have Nobby Solano 2.

Anyways, that lineup that i posted up there only plays together on maybe 1 out of 5 games. That is just my best lineup. I like to mix around my players and at the moment I have a good feel about who works well with eachother.

PS My biggest sell was Ameobi to Borussia Dortmund, 18.3 milllion and he was worth 13.1 (I wanted to keep him but I just couldn't reject 5.2 million profit.

 

[dienasty]

you must sim alot because the sim egine really sucks, no matter who you have you seem to lose alot if you sim, so i just try to take the season 1 game at a time

My team has 13 million in the bank and thats because I have a big roster (I need it because my players get injured and go on slumps a lot) and me getting relegated the first season did not help.

PS Currently in 11th in Premiership after 6 games with a 2-2-2 record, just came off a big win away at Liverpool who r currently in 4 place. Michael Chopra is out for 2 months, and robert, Johnson, and Fergusen are suspended for multiple yellows.

These are my fixtures so far

3-2 loss away at Charlton
1-1 draw away at West Ham
4-1 win Home vs Sunderland
0-0 draw home to Manchester City
5-2 loss away at Chelsea
0-2 win away at liverpool

Wut u mean sim, if you mean simulate the game, I have never done it, i loose a lot because I am on World Class mode bud (its hard as hell) and I try to play like on tv, not just kick and run. Anyways, when I look at my seasons, I like the way they look (kind of real in the sense of not winning every game), the only bad thig is I have only 2 years to win the league or a Trophy, my goal this year is to get to round of 16 in Uefa cup, and a semifinal place in either league or FA cup. Also, I would like to qualify for champions league

world class makes career mode alot more challenging....well..not if ur Arsenal or Man U.

Why would you want to keep him he is like Heskey onlyer slower. Also good move keeping Choppra but what happened to Cort. I hope you dumped him.

 

[realmadridcf]

good luck in the new season!!!

 

[VanTheMin]

you play quite honestly.

 

[DC_NUFC]

Yeah, I got rid of cort. 1st season I think, he only played 1 game
