Week 9 processing

Another well padded envelope this time from Stauart.

got my lucky olympic stamps on there for good measure :p

No changes this week for Roma as they seek to bounce back from last week's defeat in the game away at Inter Milan this week.

An astute move by Stuart sees him re-organise his six man midfield as he decides to go with two anchormen which will help cover his wingbacks when they go forward, thats an excellent move Stu and will prevent you getting outnumbered on the longer pitch in the wide areas.

It should be a very interesting game this week with both sides playing the SLO tactic.

three important reviews for Roma this week with De Rossi, Thiago Silva and Marchisio all under the spotlight. Four fringe players get the chop with all four capable of doing good jobs for somebody and all at reasonable prices.

One word of advice on the Advertise dealing, each time you use it you will receive a list of upto 5 applicants. These 5 veterans are then temporarily attached to your club for the following week, giving you priority on their services for next week. You can then employ any of them the next week without fear of them going somewhere else instead. Using 3 advertise dealings could net you 15 veterans and if you only need 3 jobs you may be wasting your dealing spaces.

Ive retro-fitted your buildings from last week as you were unaware of the changes to the way they work now and returned any money you spent as a result.

Which amounts to £21,582,000.

ahh i didnt know that, thanks paul...i thought each job you wanted to hire the applicants were all relevant for that job. that'll save me a dealing space or two in the future

thanks paul, thats 20m back in my account then lol

do the new equipment costs show up on the buildings list?

yes, I did send out a free BA report to everybody the week it changed but I guess you missed out on that too, so I'll send you a free one this week.

thanks very much.

Next up is Ben's Plymouth.

thanks for the combined cheque Ben, much appreciated.

Normally I would be saying that Plymouth have a tough game this week at home to Man City but with City struggling to find their true form this season it looks like an easier task than normal for Ben. Just to make sure he stiffens up his midfield with the introduction of Stevie Ireland in place of Nasri and drops Robinho back to dynamo from second striker leaving Nicolas Anelka to lead the line as he moves across to centre forward, giving Plymouth a new look 442 FAS formation.

Matt Jarvis has confirmed he would like to join Arsenal so that deal looks as though it will go through later in the week.

Samir Nasri earns a well deserved rest this week.

More new contracts for the likes of Cole, Ferdinand, Hargreaves and Anelka should keep them all very happy.

and Ben seems very interesting in Robin Van Persie as he dispatches his top scouts to watch him this week.

Could it be that we will soon see RVP playing in the green of Plymouth ?

He's a player I admire, especially as an Arsenal fan, but I cannot see Arsenal letting him go. Although you can never say never in this game, look at the Tevez deal.

Nice bit of media there Paul - adding to the rumour mill lol

Its all change in the cup for Plymouth as Ben looks to give his lesser lights a run out against Notts County. The once prolific Thierry Henry makes a rare start alongside D'Alessandro and youth international Lateef Elford.

Lyon look to extend their five game unbeaten run in France in a tough home fixture with second placed Paris St Germain. Four changes including the surprise axing of playmaker Cirigliano in preference to Barrios playing at target man but keeping their MIX tactic.

An unorthodox move by Ben which may or may not work as Barrios will be playing right up against Paris anchorman Blaise Matuidi who is no slouch at anchorman, so an interesting game in prospect for Lyon this week.

Next up is Matthew's Barcelona.

Big news here seems to be the imminent departure of Patrice Evra, originally under bid from Manchester United but seemingly headed elsewhere for a staggering £27millions. Thats a huge amount considering his age but somebody seems willing to pay it, but who is the mystery bidder ?

Alex Ferguson said he wouldnt be drawn into a bidding war and his offer was final and it looks like his sights will now turn away from Evra and maybe setlle on Phil Jones instead.

If Evra does leave Matt certainly has an excellent spaniard to step up into his shoes in the shape of Cesar Azpilicueta, only 22 and a bright future in front of him.

A tough game this week for Barcelona as they travel to Valencia with just one change that sees Alexis Ruano come in for the rested Raul Albiol at centreback.

Matt continues to invest in his revenue streams whilst offering a new contract to ensure Cesar stays happy. He also agress to loan out young Jose Jurado to Nantes where he should get valuable experience.

Matt is taking an interest in spanish under21 player Cristian Tello.

All the best with that, jaimies only ever done 3 deals, - tight as a nuns crutch that lad.

Two changes at Flamengo this week where Astori comes in at leftback for Filpe and Kleber comes in at second striker for Gameiro for the game at home to Sao Paulo. Flamengo are currently five games unbeaten having conceded just one goal in those five games but a tough game this week against Zico's Sao Paulo will really test his sides mettle.

Continued investment in Flamengo's revenue streams can do nothing but help the once great club on their return journey to the summit of Brazilian football.

Bent has been told to play at striker and ordered to shoot on sight.

The effectiveness of player bonuses is shown on your training ground report.

Okay the last set of orders are a big envelope and they are from...
