The Golden Molby

Round up of events and happenings in the great big wide belly I mean world of Molby :) First up I want to say hello to everyone inside the gameworld and the people on the outside looking in a bit like a shop window, tempting to you buy. As the this is the first roundup a little overview of the gameworld.

There are currently 954 active users in Mobly we have just completed preseason and the 1st week of the FA season is curently under way.

There has been 41573 matches played since the world opened.

The gw championship has changed hands 39 times so far with teams from the XFA being most successful taking the crown on 14 occasions. Don't worry I won't bore you with all stats, I have a few poor jokes lined as well.


The first team to win the gw champion crown was G.F's La Havana C.F.C. They won the crown against Spenny Stormers 1-0. A very tight tense game where Efrem finally broke the deadlock late on in the 85th minute.

Team of the Week was Genius FC manager Vlad Bourceanu was understandly deighted to get the award and was quick to tell anyone who was around in the lobby of his delight. If thats not enough he bagged himself 100k reward as well. That kind of cash can go along way at the start of the gameworld.

One team not quite so succesful in the 1st week was mod Paris's Tsapas FC earning himself a place in the top 100 when he gained a ranking he promptly managed to plunge all the way down to below 700's. Now as a mod I'm sure hes been to busy in the help centre giving advice to concerntrate on his matches, I just hope its not tactical advice! Then again if I my team was playing so badly I wouldn't be watching the matches either.

The big discussion alot has been asked about different strategies at the beginning of the gameworld. Theres lots of ways to go about how to guide your club to success. The questions seem to be around do you put your cash into building up your stadium early on saving you cash later when others will be frantically trying to add capacity to their stadiums. Others believe going for all youth players is the way forward. Meaning you can sell them on at profit in future or build a team around them for seasons to come.

A roundup of transfers in the first week or so of the gameworld shows up Simao as the biggest transfer fee going for 500k to Greig Ewan's Westhill Wanderers. Not to be outdone tho Teddington FC splashed out 500k to sign Lucho Gonzalez from the free transfer list.

The highest wage earner is the cheeky Argentian Hernan Crespo on a greedy 35k. Closely followed by ex Chelsea Favourite Shevchenko, HVIK Giants FC clearly see he still has the magic to take them to success.

Game of the week
Not one for the 451 stalwarts as theres far too many goals in this game for that. The game of the week is a Capile League game between Test Eagles and Pinner FC from the eagles nest stadium in Edinborough. The got off to a quite a slow start as despite being on top of the play Pinner Fc could not force a way through. But on 25 minutes they did finally find a way through Di Vaio heading home a corner at the near post. Then Diego Lagos missed a penalty only for Di Vaio to get finally knock home a follow effort after the penatly save. Ki-hyeon Seol added the third when Di Vaio flicked on from a corner and the ball found the Koren at the far post to head home. Then on the stroke of half time Borbon scored a wonderful solo effort picking up the ball on halfway line ghosting past his man on down the right wing cuts into the penalty and rockets it past the keeper 4-0 surely this game is dead and buried now. The pinners tho looked as if they had switched off as THe eagles got a goal back from the kick off they got ball wide left swung a cross in and no one picks up the run of Pluim and he heads home followed by the half time whistle.

Second half and Pinners still all too complacent and that the game was well truely wrapped up but a cross from the right and Cisse knocked thw ball into his own net the comeback was on! A corner in the 75th minute was where the eagles did yet more damage with Nicolita heading home from the around the penalty spot 4-3. This seemed to stir Pinner back into life and they pushed on trying to make sure of the win, the breakthrough tho was the late late show in the third minute of injury time Ferreria broke the offside trap and smashed home from edge of the box 5-3, yet there was still more to come. Sixth minute of injury time and Cisse made a mends for his earlier mistake unmarked on the edge of the box a freekick was played to him he controlled one touch then hit it into the bottom corner 6-3. What a game!

Molby Member Meeting

Anthony Meehan XEFA

How did you choose your clubs team name?
Well my surname is Meehan, which gets pronounced Mee-han like Mee - lan lol, plus cause me and my brother have a rivalry on games we wanted similar names, plus we get the "Meehan" derby games going lol

Who's the best player you have managed past or present?
Robbie Fowler without a doubt :)

What is your aim for this 1st season in Molby? do you set yourself a goal before the start of the season?
My aim for the 1st season is to finish midtable or better, and to understand how things work, so i can be prepared for season 2.

If you could give a newcomer one tip what would you tell them?
Dont get too disheartened when you lose/have a bad run - it happens to everyone. Also dont waste all your cash on one big player, build a stronger squad instead of having just 1 superstar.

If money was no object which player would you sign right now?
Fernando Torres

Are there any real life managers you try to emulate and who is your favourite ever manager?
I dont really try to emulate any managers and my favourite ever manager is Gareth Southgate....ok not really lol, its Rafa :)

If you was to recommend gw molby to someone what would you say?
Molby is a laugh, some good teams, seems active enough, and some good banter.
