A Brief Update
Posted in Site News | On February 5th, 2009 | By Kazzy | No Comments »
Hi guys, it has been a while since we’ve had anything to update you with here but we’ve got just the job now.
In case you’ve missed the forum action, we’ve been putting together a plan for a new FM tournament and now that we have everything in place, we have opened up for sign-ups! We have some terrific prizes to be won, courtesy of SEGA and the staff team. The Throw-In Online Gaming Series (TIOGS for short) is an FM competition where players take part in a series of online games all across the FM world. Points are awarded depending on your level of success in each country and all the points are added at the end of the series to determine our winners. We also want FM’ers to experience leagues they may not have considered playing themselves so in later games, we will play in unorthodox leagues. This is sponsored by SEGA and as such is, as far as we know, the Scene’s only official FM competition.
Want to know more or sign up? Visit us at Throw-In using this link to get to the subforum.

Also, our newest addition to the staff team, H, is on the case with an official TI data update. The update will cover all British domestic transfers and major European ones, as well as changes to any data currently in the game (player attributes, positions, club finances, manager changes, etc).
If you feel you could lend a hand, please visit the update forum via this link.

Finally, we are expecting our site overhaul to be completed within this month. This will be a full scale renovation, a Woolworths-esque “Everything must go” blowout. Our newest admin Shadowalk is working closely with our professional to ensure his visions for TI2009 become a reality. Please keep your eye out for this, we can assure you that you will not be disappointed. We will be looking to get some preview images in the coming days so when we get those, you’ll be the first to know.
All that is left is to hope that this finds you well and that you’ll come over and see what we have to offer.
Kindest Regards,
The Throw-In Team.
Throw-In Advent Calendar - Day 24
Posted in Content, Player Help, Site News | On December 24th, 2008 | By Kazzy | 3 Comments »
The final day of our advent calendar and I feel we certainly have left the best til last. Feast your eyes on the final player of the Throw-In Advent Calendar 2008. We hope you have enjoyed these entries as much as we have enjoyed unearthing them.
Merry Christmas from all at Throw-In.
Touted as Juve’s natural successor to Pavel Nedved, Rossi is the most highly-rated youngster to come out of the Old Lady’s youth academy in years. This 18 year old left-sided midfielder is tipped for a bright future already. Having burst onto the Scene with the Juventus youth team, he has already earned a reputation for himself by winning the Birra Moretti Trophy and the TIM Trophy with Juve’s youth team. His bright showings have earned him a call to the first-team squad, where he will be bled gradually into the team.
In FM, Juve have picked up on the promise of this player but perhaps underestimate him slightly. They will accept approximately £4m for him. During the contract negotiations, Rossi will ask for a 4 year deal worth £3,000 per week in addition to various bonuses. His potential puts him at the level of the best in the world in his position so I believe £4m is a tiny fee for the potential return.
Factfile:
Name: Fausto Rossi
Nationality: Italian
Age: 18
Club: Juventus
Position: Midfielder (Left, Center)
Key Strengths: Dribbling (15), First Touch (15), Technique (15), Bravery (15), Creativity (15), Teamwork (15), Acceleration (15), Corners (14), Decisions (14), Determination (14), Off the Ball (14), Work Rate (14).
Fee: £4m + clauses approx.
Wages: £3k + clauses approx.
Level: Potentially the best left-sided midfielder in the world for the future.
