Re: *The FIFA 15 Manager Mode Thread*

Quick question about funds for the second half of the season:

Is it a good idea to use as much money as possible in the January transfer window? I'm asking because it seems like your budget resets once the new season starts in July. For example, if my budget is 13 million from the board and I finish the transfer window w/ 2.5mil. Maybe I sign a few youth players and contract extensions and I'm left with 2.2mil. That money doesn't seem to roll over to the summer transfer window. So should I try to spend as much as possible while I can?

This has always really irritated me about FIFA. I wish it was more like FM where money you have at the end of the season just rolls over into next season and gets added to. Makes no sense the way it's done now.

Any tips of playing with Arsenal? Off to a horrible start with them. Went away from my Madrid MM to play with Arsenal but holy damn the team is not clicking and I'm October only 1 EPL win.

LPU yeah every season your budget resets, also if you perform well in competitions and in the leauge you get more money. If your successful you can request funds from your board.

arsenal is my next challenge. i would say get a hold of a good cdm and cbs. change passing to safe and slow you should be able to get some good link play from your midfield. i found being patient with the passing could lead to some good stuff. no more sprinting down the sideline with a really fast winger. hope this helps

Use the protect ball button quite often when receiving passes when the passer is sprinting. Also I realized that my offense is actually so much butter when i put my team to play in Ultra Defensive. The counter attacking is great.




Anyways finally managed to resign CR7! 4 years. Also beat Barca and Levante to take 1st place of Liga by 3 points. El Shaarawy making his second appearance for Madrid after breaking his elbow in his debut match!

BTW, Man thanks for the advice, that L2 is making me boss the defenders. My team isn't good enough to play on legendary but I am getting better on WC.

I usually don't mess with sliders but I was thinking about increasing my kick speed slider. A lot of my passes/shots seem to be short.

Re: *The FIFA 15 Manager Mode Thread*

Thoughts on my past Transfer window? I'm running with Swansea and I'm currently 10th in the table. Feeling comfortable in not having to worry about relegation this season, I wanted to really focus on bring a lot of young talent to the club to build for the future.

OUT:

Wilfried Bony to VFL Wolfsburg for 30M
Angel Rangel to QPR for 2.5M
Plus 3 youngsters (Gorre, Loveridge and Davies) sent out on Loan

IN:

Adnan Januzaj from ManU for 9.5M
Maximilian Arnold from VFL Wolfsburg for 8.5M
Ogenyi Onazi from Lazio for 5.9M
Andrew Robertson from Hull for 5.5M
Patrick Roberts from Fulham for 3.6M

Re: *The FIFA 15 Manager Mode Thread*

The only thing I know and did on Fifa was palu some of them. The best I've played only during the transfer window. The other I've played as I could.

I will second this one. Getting your players you want to loan out playing time definitely seems to help other teams notice them. Logic says good performance help more than bad but I haven't been able to prove that in any way.

EA has some random events like this programmed in. If you keep a series of saves from different times of the season you can usually get this event to pop up on a different player or to not happen at all.

The specifics of the events often make little sense due to bad story telling but if you can look past the why, the what; a player grumbling and causing issues; can make for some interesting variety. It also makes for the opportunity for some potentially heartbreaking house rules on how to deal with these guys.

Year 1 Review

Well, it was a little bit of an underwhelming year in North London. Finished 6th in the EPL. The year was not devoid of successes, though. We won both the Capital One Cup and the FA Cup, and also lost on penalties to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League Final. Unfortunately, going so far in all these competitions may have been our demise in the league. At one point, we had a stretch of 10 matches in 22 days. Add in some key injuries to my midfield and defense, and my team was DEAD. We missed out on 5th place by one point, and there were a couple games (a lifeless 0-0 draw at Stoke comes to mind) where I feel we could have won with a more rested squad.

TABLE:
1. Liverpool - 81 points
2. Everton - 76 points
3. Manchester City - 75 points
4. Manchester United - 73 points
5. Chelsea - 70 points
6. Tottenham Hotspur - 69 points
7. Arsenal - 64 points

STATS:
1. Emmanuel Adebayor - 22 goals
2. Sergio Aguero - 19 goals
3. Eden Hazard - 16 goals
4. Robin van Persie - 15 goals
5. Shane Long - 14 goals
5. Radamel Falcao - 14 goals


1. Juan Mata - 13 assists
2. David Silva - 12 assists
2. Christian Eriksen - 12 assists
4. Steven Gerrard - 9 assists
5. Stephen Ireland - 8 assists


I think in the offseason, I will look to target either a LB or a CM. Hopefully guys like Eriksen, Lamela, and Meyer (CAM/LM I bought from Schalke in January) take the next step in their development. Gunning for top 4 next year.

Re: *The FIFA 15 Manager Mode Thread*

I wish they would change the way you can take new coaching jobs. Maybe an option to look at leagues to see what teams are hiring instead of random job offers.

I want to move from the MLS to one of the lower English leagues but i keep getting offers from those league from teams who are near the top of the table. I want to rebuild a lower team.
