I think in my next game I'll try and sign Irish players only because it is a bit unrealistic having a team full of foreigners. I only have one player from Donegal and he's back up. My first 11 consists of a Swedish GK, NI and Croatian Full Backs, Irish and Romanian CB's, English and Ghanian CM's, Belgian and Italian Wingers and a Cypriot and Italian up front. A tad unrealistic for Harps I think!

Mc Love · 16-10-2012 7:25pm

First team is as follows
1 Irish GK (my top GK), 1 Northern Ireland, Dutch and Paraguayan GK

DL - English, NIR
DR - CMR, 2 x DEN, IRL
DC - BRA (his name is Biro), DEN, EQG, NIR, PAR, IRL, ROU, TUR
DM - BRA, DEN, POR, IRL, TUR
MC - GRE, MAR, 2 x NIR, RUS
ST - BRA, COL, CZE, GRE, POL, 2 x IRL (1 being star striker)

6 Irish players in my first team.

Mc Love · 16-10-2012 7:53pm

This is my Star striker born and bred in Ireland. From Mayo but at the club since he was 15. His admirers include Barca, Bayern etc but Celtic are the only club to make a bid for 10 million, he is worth at least 5 more if not 10!! He wont enter into talks so and has another 18 months left on his contract, so I dont want to let him leave for nothing, so should I hold on until the end of this season before selling him or take what is offered now?

gnfnrhead · 16-10-2012 8:30pm

Keep him until the summer, offer him to clubs but set the date as the end of season. That should allow you to keep him until his contract expires and still get a fee for him.

Mc Love · 16-10-2012 8:44pm

Yeah I like that option indeed. Just notified that LOI has moved up 9 places to 14th moving it three places ahead of the Championship and only two behind Scottish Premier

dulpit · 16-10-2012 8:57pm

Damn, 2 of my best players (defender who was my player of season and striker who scored most in season last year) are not willing to sign new contracts right now, any ideas?

Nice, your league rating is improving far quicker than mine.

It's hard to find good Irish players alright. They are all playing in England and have been there since they were teens so don't even qualify as homegrown!

Mc Love · 16-10-2012 9:10pm

Some brilliant players coming from Ireland being snapped up by Scottish & English teams! Limerick are also moved up to 22nd in European rankings

retalivity · 16-10-2012 9:11pm

Mc Love · 16-10-2012 9:20pm

How did you manage to sneak a 12th player into your first team?

It gets ridiculous in the Irish league towards the end of the season if you're doing well in europe/cups.

i once had 10 days off because 4 of my reserves were on international duty, and then promptly had 5 games in 7 days. You used to be able to request match postponements in older games, correct?

dulpit · 18-10-2012 12:52pm

Boom!

dulpit · 18-10-2012 12:55pm

^ We beat Waterford 10-0, Benyamina got 5 goals and Amine got a hattrick

Mc Love · 18-10-2012 3:59pm

That rosary must have helped!!! We beat Bayern 1-0 and Kobenhavn 3-0 and drew 4-4 with Barca with two players sent off!

antomorro-sei · 18-10-2012 5:33pm

Keep reading this thread, so started a new game before 13 comes out.

Started with Ireland, pre Euros. We'd qualified into a group of Croatia, Spain and Portugal. Drew 0-0 with 10 man Croatia, beat Spain 3-2 somehow, and then even more crazy was a 0-0 draw against Portugal who absolutely anihilated me. Finished second.

1/4 Final v the Dutch next...

antomorro-sei · 18-10-2012 5:39pm

Awh god, do I love this game at times!

antomorro-sei · 18-10-2012 5:52pm

Ugh, thumped by France 3-0 in the semis. Ah well, now for WC2014 qualifying

Mars Bar · 18-10-2012 9:22pm

I have a player that has numerous underage caps for Croatia but no senior caps. He got Irish citizenship last week and has already been called up for the Ireland squad. Matej Jakovic, how Irish is that?! :pac:

MooShop · 19-10-2012 7:20am

I started a season with Droylsden in the Blue Square North division.

I have just started my first full season. Gutted the team from last season and pretty much signed a new squad. Very cheap squad and a lot of youth. It's a decent squad, nothing amazing.

Because I have a lot of youth, I'm looking for ways to best develop my youth players. It's a tiny club with no money. What is the best way to maximise their development? I'm guessing a good training schedule and decent coaches. I haven't played FM in ages so I have no idea of how the training centre works!! Any advice would be really helpful!!

MooShop · 19-10-2012 9:26am

Also, when I go to my Training screen. The training overview shows 0 coaches for the strength category. How do I assign a coach to this?

Oat23 · 19-10-2012 4:38pm

I finally won the Bundesliga with SC Victoria!
2019/2020 Season - The clubs 125th Anniversary year as well.
I was trailing by 4 points at the winter break and the situation worsened when my best player (and current world player of the year) Nadir Suleiman tore his calf muscle playing for the DR Congo NT. But in the second half of the season I won 14, drew 3 and lost none which was enough to overtake Bayern

Going to find it very hard to make the switch over to FM13 now. I would like to win the CL and our new stadium will be ready in 11 months time.
The game is holding up quite well this time round and is not slowing down much. The last 2 games I haven't been able to go past 2019.
