Lympsham Red Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Bit Footy Manager fan here, already played a save with Bristol City on this years game, obviously won all the biggies, Champs League, FA Cup, Premier League loads of times etc. Got promoted first year running; I play a 4-2-3-1 DM Wide Asymmetric. Best player for me was undoubtedly Artem Kravets up front: my assistant kept saying he was nowhere near good enough for this level yet he'd bang in 40 goals a season consistently in all competitions. After City I did careers with Blackpool, Rangers and Aberystwyth Town, and am now doing one where I rebuild Portsmouth. 2017-18 season atm, been promoted back-to-back as league champions, won the JPT two times in a row as well. Currently sitting top of the Championship in late March 2018, Kieran Agard has been my striker for this season and the one before. Got him from City for around £500k. Scored 34 goals in the league this season. Mad stuff! Also got Adam El-Abd for £25k from City, serves as great cover for my centre-backs, may not have too much talent but is fantastic when you just need to really fill that hole. For the record, City are currently 4th in the Championship, with Steve Cotterill still as manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagstaff is giving me a tough decision to make that I don't want, and I'm at half time in my 3rd friendly. Brought him on as a sub for Burns with 20 mins to go in first game and he gets an assist. Brought him on as a sub for Burns with 20 mins to go in the second game and he scores 3rd game is 2 days later so I mix up the team, Waggy gets 2 first half goals. Really wanted to utilise Burns, but if this carries on he will end up limited to being an impact sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a huge work rate and determination. Keep him around, get him to tutor Burns, who you should use against teams with slow full backs alongside a taller striker, or as an IF against a 4-5-1, 4-2-4 or a 4-4-2.

Bs4Red Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Currently sitting 3rd in Championship after 44 games of the second season. Level on points with the top two. Fingers crossed with 2 games left I can get the job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't thought about tutoring Burns, definitely sounds a good idea. Also thinking of using Burns as the lone striker if Kodjia gets tired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Going to be a tough start to the season, just over a week until the first game and Bryan, Freeman and Fielding have all been injured. The only player I have been able to bring in so far hasn't been able to get a work permit. I have managed to bring in Paul Scholes as a coach though. Final friendly and Kodjia has 3 goals disallowed for offside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it narrow if he does play as an ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns worked well alongside someone (possibly Billy Sharp) when I had him on my Barrow game in League 1, may not work as well in the championship, but I'd like to think the overall team I have is far superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
