Re: Official Football Manager Thread

[Guest]

Finally got there!

I've got a worldwide status too, but 4th behind Barca, ManU and Real

Nice! I still have alot of work to do at this club, alot more trophies to win.

But I have devolped some very nice players. I now have the best French/Argie/USA/Mexican/Uruguay and Portugese goal scorers in history for their respective national teams.

Sanogo and Fierro are absolute beasts, but I basically play with 4 strikers in my formation and having Ronaldo come off the bench is a huge bonus despite his age. I have such a mean team atm it's basically very very easy to win, just have to keep the rotations going, rack up the trophies and hope not to choke lol

So Ruben de la Reds contract expired as my assistant manager and I decided not to renew it, he was good but I was after something more.

Next up to the assistant manager plate, the one and only Raul

Jack Wilshere for free

Wilshere on a free?
.

Does anyone else find free transfers a bit unrealistic at times?
I got Ronaldo and Messi on frees when they were just twenty-nine...
In his first season, Ronaldo scored 94 goals in all competitions, including 53 league goals, with an average rating of 8.45 .
He dropped off after that, as I got bored of setting records and rested him more ;P.
Signed Rene Adler on a free, only made seven league appearances, all clean sheets, then sold him for 30 million pounds to City one season later, best profit-making transfer so far .

FM 11.3, although I have a small custom database applied that changed a few of the Arsenal players' stats ... like making RVP more injury-prone .

Ahhh fair enough, not FM12?

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Nah, I'd gotten attached to my regens, and I didn't want to start again (:

haha fair enough then, will you be looking to get 2013 at the end of the year?

I don't plan to start another game in FM12 myself just going to stick with this one till 13 is released

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Probably not, I love my regens too much .

I want to at least build an all-regen squad first.

I just hit 2020 on my save, started on Mar 21, 2012 8:00 am according to the post I put in this thread so flying through sorta....

I also play network games with friends so have not been devoting all my time to this.

Hopefully another 30 seasons of Linense then I will leave the club and take on another challenge in another league

Very Nicely done Mr Rock, hows Reus working for you, I could never turn him into the player I liked in FM, hoping you had better luck.

And what about Fierro, hope he turned into a beast for you

I would post my transfers but I have bought 40 different players over my 10 seasons and sold 25 lol, would take me forever to post.....

I will tell you the total value of my players bought was only 184m pounds or an avg of just 4.6m pounds per player and I sold my 25 players for 168m pounds or an avg of 6.7m pounds per player.

Highest fee received was 30m for Prestia to Madrid and highest fee I paid was 25m for Ronaldo (at 32) he left on a free at 34 cus I refused to pay him 300k per week :/

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

For me, at 34, he's only demanding 160k/week, and I'm looking to decrease it even more .

I'm only paying Sanogo 150k per week and he's by far the best player in the world in my game so Ronaldo can go fruit himself

[StrugaRock]

Marco Reus So far:
182 Games - 38 Goals - 87 Assists

Games - Goals - Assists
14 - 5 - 5
46 - 8 - 14
47 - 4 - 22
34 - 13 - 21
41 - 8 - 25

So he's been great for me in the Right attacking midfield position, I play him as an advanced playmaker. He has two assist leader awards, once runner-up as the best Bundesliga player and chosen two times as "Fans player of the season".

Fierro is 21 y.o. now currently a back-up for Jovetic but he plays great when I put him on, also I play him a lot in my rotation system and he is ahead of pecking order in front of Lewandowski and Barios

Bleh, he was on 250k/week before, Fabregas had a match highest earner clause, Messi wanted 205k/week, I almost went broke .

And then Fabregas, like the legend he is, accepted a cut to just 60k/week .

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

Does anyone else find it impossible to win the best goal awards?

[Guest]

I've played around 600 games in my save now, want to hazard a guess at how many losses and draws I have had?

You have to remember as well I have played close to 5000 hours of FM since the 2010 version and probably shit ton more from version 06-09 as well.

[StrugaRock]

What a steal... Got Wilshere for free and now after half a season his value has risen to 23.5m Euros and he is 23 years old

[JAY-Z]

Dont sell him

[StrugaRock]

I'm not going to

Also Gundogan turn out to be a great player for me
