That's almost my St Albans away formation, except it's a 4-2-1-2-1, with the middle "1" going up if i need a goal and the "2" falling back if I need to defend a league.
And Spurs dream of coming second - no way they'd fire someone for it. so it must be they don't like you.

So 4321 then? That is the arrowhead. Or are the 2 wide?
Seems like half the Permiership have had board takeovers but we're plodding along with our current chairman. (who now is happy enough with a place in Europe). Portsmouth are going to be interesting because they got a new chairman who, it seems, has released a lot of their players. (lickle Mickey Owen's wages finally bit them in the arse it seems - especially when you add in all the physiotherapy and treatment he has to receive).
Oh and Gareth Southgate didn't get Newcastle relegated, spoiling his perfect record. They finished in their usual mid-table spot.
After last year's excitement about the "best player in his generation" (who incidentally is still looking like a big pile of pants) the yoof intake this year punished me for my extravagent spending ways by promoting 4 absolutely hopeless DCs, a hopeless keeper and a shambolic striker. Which will learn me.
Oh and another thing™ Bloody Liverpoo makes an offer for my hot prospect fullback and the bugger gets uppity when I turn them down saying I'm blocking his move to a bigger club. To Liverpool the team that haven't won anything for the last four years and missed out on the Big Cup twice.

Err, no, not 4-3-2-1.
The 4-2-1-2-1 is 4, then 2 DMs, 1 MC, AML/AMR and ST. The MC goes to AMC or even ST if I need a goal, or the AML/AMR come back to ML/MR if I need to hang on to a lead.

Oh those 2, I thought you meant the 2 DMCs and then I thought, that's not possible because then you'd have a 6 man back line, so I thought it was .... ah fuck it. Nevermind.

I didn't realise that that French centreback chappy was so big. Or that Schmeichel is so short.
Of those I've bought only 7 the rest were in the team when I started. And of those 7 only 4 are starters. So yay! for me there.
I'm thinking of trying to offload Lennon as he's injured more often than not.

Hmmmm, never had any luck with 4-2-3-1 in FM06, stll using 4-1-3-2, almost exclusively now. Just juggling the sliders depending on who I'm playing and where we are playing.

Anyone understand how the u23 free transfer business works (as my "future Michael Owen" won't sign a new contract and has the likes of Chelski and Arsenal sniffing around him). If I offer him a contract that's as good as his current one then he can still go to the rich bostords but they will have to shell out the £5m odd he's valued at?

If you give him a contract at least as good as his current one, then he can still piss off to someone else, but you get paid a level of compensation, that can either be higher or lower than his market valuation.

Put the bostord on Mega Hard training and knacker him for prospective suitors.

I've shipped him off to a newly promoted team (Wolves as it happens) for the duration in the hope that some Permiership goals will raise his valuation. (and that he might decide to accept my offer). And to make him suffer having to live in the Black Country for a year. I bought him from Boro for £750k when he was 17 and kept the sell on clause low so £5-6m is a handy return on him. Of course once he starts playing for Chelski he'll be worth over £20m but what can you do.

Try offering him around for 20M + 50% sell on clause? + more after international's and other games?
That's a nice squad you've got there.
