besty

Do you concede many?

Red-Devil

No not too many. A usual score for me is 3-1. I beat Barcelona 6-2 which shows how the persuasive attacking trio of David Villa, V Nistlerooy, Benzema or Raul pays off. Ive won 11 on the trot now (season games), havent drawn or lost any it seems to be working. I would not advise using that 3-4-1-2 formation with many teams because it really only works with teams with lots of talent. I think that the progressive attacking structure is the reason why teams dont get a chance to attack my 3 man defence.

Lafortezza

I conceded 11 goals in the league with Barce in the most recent season.

flyswatter

I'm deciding what new game to start at the minute. I think I'll go for something more challenging than Real or Barca..............

Lafortezza

French league is good, I've got a second game running as Marseille, the league isn't too difficult but competing in Europe is tough. Biggest problem is holding on to your star players.

Red-Devil

I started off with a very challenging side.. Celta Vigo. After a while I got a good feel of the team and with difficulty got them promoted. Its always fun playing with a lower division team and bringing them up.

Pat Short

Restarted game with Liverpool on sat.

Although some players need sold and replaced i've had no problems so far with

Devestating team. Have a good crop of youngsters on the bench and coming through the ranks too, e.g. Evander Sno, Jack Hobbs etc. I want to think about bolstering my striking options but am finding it very difficult to attract a big name star to the club. E.g. Walcott keeps rejecting his Arsenal contract renewal but not a hope of him accepting a bumper contract from me!!!

I tinkered a bit with my db before starting with York [ie. I added myself into their CM]

Berbatov is on fire, despite a 2 month layoff. 14 goals in 11 games. Kaboul has 7 goals after I perfected the art of scoring corners while fiddling about it with my tactics. Lescott, Woodgate and Hutton have a lot of goals because of this. Bale is top of the assists chart with 9 assists.

Not actually working that well for me so might revert to four at the back and one up front. I'm not happy with my central midfield and am looking for a top class attacking midfielder for the Scott Brown position to score goals and someone in the Iniesta/Fabregas mould for the other position to create. Any (realistic) suggestions?

MrJoeSoap

Midway through my first season with Basel in Switzerland. 14 points clear after 18 games going into the winter break, thanks to unlimited loan signings from French sides. Recalled a striker worth 600k from loan and sold him on during the winter break for €7.25 which should allow me strengthen about two or three positions. I've signed Luizao, the young Brazilian centre-back and have a few more coming in the summer. I've also invested heavily in some quality 16/17 year olds for the future.

Into the third season with Man Utd. Won quadruple in first season and the league in the second.

---

---

Kardec was an absolute bargain at £5.5 million. Only in Decemeber and he already has 19 goals in the league. First season he was named best signing.

ChumpStain

After 6 seasons of building a footballing dynasty at Boro I left to make Real a force in football again. But they should've been already, they had a class team. But in my third season in 2015 looks like this:

---

Casillas

---

Ramos---Barzagli

---

Longhi(Regen)---Corvino(Regen)

---

Gago

---

Maslov(Regen)

---

C.Ronaldo

---

Rossi

---

Robinho

---

Bojan

---

Subs: Buenida(Regen I think), Cahais, Garay, Mauri(Regen), Benega, Raul, Guillherme

Best part is Atletico and Villareal went into administration so Rossi and Benega were free, as was Bojan but that was just cos Barca were blind to his devinity! Maslov cost £27m, Longhi £35m, Corvino £5.5m, Mauri £32m

~Marky~

You got Bojan for free :eek: I always try to buy him and he never goes to me no matter how much I offer.

in the 3 games i've played, Bojan has always been up for a free at some stage. it's a bit weird. unfortunately he would never come to my teams though.

Ive just started my first game and am having serious trouble signing players. Whats the best way to go about it ? Also, how do I see transfer listed players and free players ?

good scouts are a must. 18 plus in judging player potential and player ability. send them all over the place and just scout anyone and everyone.

to see transfer listed by going into Squad, then on the left there will be a tree. Click search, player search, then up on the top right hand corner somewhere there will be the "filters" button. click it and go into customise, then just add he filters you want. you can do the same for scouting staff etc. for liverpool though it's unlikely you'll find anyone up to the standards needed through transfers lists and free players.

Well Bojan would be a welcome addition..!

I blew all my transfer funds on Quaresma and Rafinha. It was almost at transfer deadline and I hadnt managed to buy anyone so splashed 25m on quaresma, 15m upfront and 10 over 2 years.

He came up for free today and I offered him 92k a week with over 10k for scoring. He chose Juve for 40k a week

Which club were you managing? In my experience, generally managing Manchester United, Barca players are nigh on impossible to sign. Often the offers are accepted but the players have no intention of joining - how odd.

I have had no problem getting bojan when he comes up for free when playing as united he always has the not interested in signing at this time lark but when I offer him a big contract he usually obliges and signs

United. Wasn't interested in rotation but offered him a deal as a key player and he accepted less money and a rotation role at Juve. Too odd.

Peyton Manning

Just do what I do and get him on loan for the first season. You can get him easily on loan then for the second season and by the end of that, if youve treated him nicely, he'll want to join you. Same goes for Iago and Gai Assulin.

I don't think his potential is set that high, he's probably a -9.

Mr.Nice Guy

I'm playing as Preston North End in the second season. I got them promoted through the play-offs last season and was tipped for relegation but I'm in 11th place at the moment and should survive. I've been boosting my youth ranks with some quality additions and I'm really enjoying turning an average team into, hopefully anyway, a force to be reckoned with. Here's my first eleven:

---

C. Pantilimon

---

L. Abenzoar---C. Sarghi

---

J. Evans

---

M. Hill

---

H. Nordveidt

---

F. Rajtoral

---

L. Jimenez

---

D. Buonanotte

---

M. Zarate

---

J. Oremo

---

Johan Oremo is a Swedish striker who I saw mentioned on another forum. I only paid a couple of thousand for him but he's bagged ten goals for me (despite not playing the full season). He has something like a 16 for pace and a similar attribute for finishing. One of my best ever purchases. Check him out.

Galvasean

My mighty MVV team:

---

S. Osturk

---

Sestak

---

JJ Mosquera

Farfiani

---

Van Damme

---

Roma

T. Waisapy---R. Van Boxel---J. Toivio---V. Worngooer

---

C. Wijnterp

of course a lot of rotation occurs too.

Pepe LeFrits

Milan:

Neuer, Marcelo, Nesta, Barzagli, Lahm, Pirlo, Veloso, Ben Arfa, Kaka, C. Ronaldo, Benzema

Subs: Dida, Jankulovski, Bonera, Hamsik, Gattuso, Van der Vaart, Pato
Sub subs: Seedorf, Inzaghi, Gourcuff, Ambrosini, Gilardino, Ronaldo, Kaladze

Do I keep them happy? Not really! I'm messing about now, getting a bit bored of FM...

Thanx 4 The Fish

PLayed as the pool obviously but have moved on to the wanderers to see how the seasiders can do, only started but it is a different game to playing as a team with some money to spend and a decent pool of players to pick from.

It's working a treat for me so far both in the league and Europe. I've had total domestic domination but am yet to get past the Champions' League quarter finals so hopefully this is the year. I think success in Europe is the key to me being able to attract international superstars who are otherwise unwilling to move to a Scottish club.

I sold Sneider, Drenthe and Robben. Bought Huntelaar in the first season, but he went seriously off form this year. Aguero is an absolute phenomonen, he's got about 20 goals in 13-14 games. My next move is for a defender to replace Heinze. I may move Veloso back there either.

Jugs82

Derby Co. - Beginning of 2nd Season, 1st Season finished 8th

GK - Lewis Price - value has skyrocketed to 5m, Welsh International, very solid, kicking is suspect though

RWB - Sami Rahmonen - Plays equally well as a MR, Great WB especially going forward, lots of assists

LWB - James McEveley - looking for another option but hes OK

CB - Ignashevic - free transfer at beginning, solid as a rock

CB - Johnny Evans - Signed in Season 2, had on loan in Season 1, avg rat of 7.23 and 5 PRM goals

DM - Marek Suchy - great cheap option for DMC or AM - Giles Barnes - Plays best as AMC tucked in behind ST(depending on who im up against)

CM - David Jones - wasnt sure about him at the start but his value is over 10m now and he scores regularly too

CM - Kasper Haemelinein - Spelling may be wrong - class MC or AMC - Chips in with lots of goals

AML - Mika Aarialto - plays equally well as a ST - Scored 11 PRM goals in season 1 from AML with instruction to move into box

AMR - Gabriel Torje - Unbelievable Amount of assists - AC Milan are after him
now

ST - Bogdan Stancu - Goal Machine - Romanian

Subs

GK - Lehovartka - spelling?? Finnish keeper, great potential, only a sub aas Price is doing so well

ST - Tommy Hoilland - Norwegain, good impact sub, graps a few important goals

AMC, AML - Dzsudiak - Hungarian, Excellent on the left and great at delivery

DMC - Almeida - 34yr old Argentinian, solid DMC, free at the start - Good to have 2 DMC To kill a game off or hold a lead

DLC - Radu - Romanian Def, good in DC & DL - only just signed as cover for Def but hopefully will challenge for a place soon!

Although I have to say I cheated by saving before each match and reloading if I lost ... just for this season, wanted to see if I got any special message for an unbeaten season ... I didn't.

Bought both Jiminez and Marin very cheaply. Jiminez was about 2 million, and is one of my best players.

besty

I'm suprised you don't start Michael Johnson - he always develops very well in the game. Actually, Chelsea just bought him for £27 million in my Man Utd game at the end of the first season.
