They gave me 20m to spend for 2nd season Laughing

This is what I did going into the second season....

Official Football Manager Thread - Page 37 Screen12

Didn't want to sell Cabella but 40m was ridiculous and needed to be able to afford replacements for Remy and De Jong as both were loans.

Volland is a beast.

Still no option to make wingers track back.

Currently playing a 3-1-4-1-1 formation on Barca save. Asked board to sign Thiago Silva, they got him for £41.5m. He's 29 years old, so let's just hope players don't decline like they do on FIFA.

Also would be good if you could have different formations for every phase.

Like if your GK has the ball and you want your CB's to split and fullbacks to go high up the field, you can't really do that.

Or if you want a different formation for when your defending etc.

play wingers as defensive wingers

by Onyx Mon Nov 10, 2014 5:37 pm

Yeh that's what I'm doing, but ideally it would be better if there was an option saying 'track back'.

41,500 pounds for Thiago Silva is not bad. Unless you meant you paid 41,500,000 for a 29 year old defender with PSG level wages...

I don't even...

by Onyx Wed Nov 12, 2014 12:13 pm

Nah, I just asked the board to sign him. They paid it. I only had 20m to spend. Laughing

Ffs just accidentally paid a 37 year old coach 2m to mutually terminate his contract.

I hope they fix the winger not tracking back problem. Completely ruining my system ffs. Can't have Suarez/Neymar playing as defensive wingers, need them higher up the field.

FM is a bit limited imo. There needs to be more advanced tactics. Right now all you do is tick boxes and tell your team what to do.

I want Suarez playing as a CF when I have the ball, but when defending I want him to track back as a RW. You can't implement intricate tactics such as that.

Pardew sacked by Newcastle on my save. Redknapp odds on favourite to takeover. hmm

Waste of money...FM14 was good but bad tactically,this one is just garbage all around.

In attempting to make the game deeper they've made it worse.

No thanks, i don't want to adjust my players' shower temperature or decide which route we should take on the bus to get to the stadium

World class game tbh.

Farming simulator though >>>

Oooft, can't argue with that

Reached the 2019 farmhouse countrycorn final last night with my follower betty-mae and we finished 2nd in 2 categories and won the other.

FM isn't all that in depth imo. The scout reports you get for your next game are way too basic. All they say is so and so are weak at set-pieces, or at defending, so focus on that in training.

Write it here, and I'll mail them.

by Onyx Thu Nov 13, 2014 2:31 pm

I'd like:

In depth tactical info on how the opposition build up from the back.

In depth info on midfield play and also final third.

Do they attack through the middle, or either flank?

Do they cross a lot, or are they patient?

What are the weaknesses of their players? Does their LW not track back? Is their CM weak? Does their CB have poor ball control?

Also anything else real life scouts look at when scouting teams.

hmm
