Let’s Get It Started!

By: Samir | November 1st, 2009

1-1“Let’s get it started yeah! Let’s get it started hah!” The Black Eyed Peas song. I also got it started, and I need to say it was faster than in FM09. I chose Villarreal, the team I want to take to victory. The Yellow Submarines are maybe the best team I could choose to manage, and now, my job is to win.

Fernando Roig, their president, welcomed me with a 23,000 euros salary (I love that amount!) and I told him that my expectation was to qualify to the Champions League through the leauge. That expectation gave me only 7mil to buy, not so much, but I can afford some good players with that money, don’t you think so?
1-2

Here is my team: (As it’s a team with a lot of players, there are two images)
Villarreal team part 1
Villarreal Team part 2
Then, I went to meet my staff and players, with a new function in FM10, that in the start of the game and also later, your staff give you advice and feedback. For example, they told me I didn’t have a squad management expert, so I chose one. Someone told me to buy Riquelme, but I dismissed that advice, he’s old now, don’t you think? In the meanwhile, other staff told me that I have good concentration, good pressing, good passing, and bad height in the team.

Next was to choose the roles in the squad. Fuster will take the penalties, Ibagaza freekicks, Rossi wil be a target man and Cazorla playmaker. Good choices?

As this was only the introduction post, we will talk about transfers and tactics in the next post. And remember, this blog now will be interactive, you guys will be the ones that choose my team’s formation. Now, we have some friendlies, and I will try in every friendly different players, so me and you guys have and idea of what my team is and then in the official matches YOU decide the formations. Here is my list of friendlies:
