    I just started a new career mode, and I took over Ternana. I won all my games so far. Jimenez scored three goals in one game, and all of them from the FKs.

    Well, I think I made some better decisions second time around. I decided to pick up Mark Van Bommel and Ousmane Dabo for a central midfield partnership, and Jimenez for a free role behind Gilardino. In the defense, I decided to buy Per Kroldrup because I don't have faith in Fabio's little brother Paolo, not just yet. I also bought Christian Zaccardo from the unfortunately relegated side Palermo :)wth: ) and Carraciolo to sit on the bench as Alberto's replacement.

    Zaccardo-Bonera-Kroldrup-Portenza

    Marchionni-Van Bommel-Dabo-Bresciano

    Jimenez

    Gilardino


    Subs: Bovo, P Cannavaro, Fabio Simplicico, Rosina, Junior, Carraciolo, Degano

    Can either Bovo or Cannavaro play left-back in real life? I'm short on left backs, and I'm tempted to use Junior in that spot. But that would then take away from my options in midfield. Damn I could use another midfield all-a-rounder.

    Ternana is a good side to start out with. The likes of Jimenez and Kharja will make for an exciting season.

    I'll be going for Donovan and Adu next season for Verona if the price is right
    How old will Adu be in your game next season?

    Also, How are his overall stats in the game?

    Next season Adu will be 18.

    I don't have enough scouting points to get his overall ratings, but his individual rankings on what I can find are as follows:


    Shot power-71
    Heading- 64
    Cross- 76
    Ball control- 81
    Stamina-77
    Pace- 89

    I was going to get Donovan, but I couldn't afford him. I guess Parma's new owners didn't give me as much cash as I expected. But after this season I will buy Donovan, maybe Freddy if he is available. I also want to bring Beasley and this Onyweu kid to Parma as well. The latter is a great young defensive talent who has U.S. Citizenship and currently plays for Standard Liege. I checked his stats beforehand, and he is an 80. But I am pleased with my team so far, although I'm a bit short on players.

    WE Series is much much much better then any fifa hit imo.
    I think you, and many others have already mentioned that already, here and in other threads...


    Maybe we should drop it already because both sides already argued about this.
    Let go.

    Sergio, Burke and I have found a way to cheat the system, and play with Juventus after only one season. It's fairly simple actually. :)
    Andy, tell me how ???!!!!

    Okay, its fairly simple actually. Just do this before you start a season:

    Buy the worst 11 players you can possibly find and put them in the starting lineup of Juventus. Then start a season with any Serie B club, and make sure you get promoted to the Serie A during that first season. Before the start of the next season, the game will allow you to choose if you would like to switch jobs for another club, usually in the Serie A. After the second year, they only give you mid-table clubs like Bologna and Parma to choose from. Now since overall Juventus is very weak because of the starting lineup you gave them, you should be able to pick Juventus as your new team to coach. Then all you do is sell those crappy, non existent players to get rid of them, and there you go. You coach Juve. :)

    But I have not tried this myself; my friend did this in the Bundesliga to get to Bayern, and it worked. It should work for this as well....
