Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Say a player gets one injury, does that part of his body become more fragile later on?

Also, for player improvement...do you check it every 6 months? soon or later?

Not sure about injuries in the game depends on the injury

I check the training reports on a players menu all the time to see if my young players are getting better at certain ratings

In one of John Fleck's first games back from that bizarre injury, he scores his first hat trick for Fulham in odd fashion. To add to that, it was 19th place Fulham against 2nd place Man Utd. Andreasen's goal was off of a free kick as well. I don't think I've ever seen that many set piece goals...

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Damn it. I wanted to hold on to Altidore as he was finally starting to get into a grove. He won the EPL Young Player of the Year award in 2010/11 and now will waste his promising career on the bench in Germany. Fulhamerica is steadily falling apart. Now all that's left of it is Dempsey, Bradley, McBride (coach), and Eddie Johnson who can never seem to be physically fit enough to get on the pitch. Gomis (who I just signed on Jan. 1), Vagner Love, and Lewandowski, with Fleck and McCulloch filling in when necessary, will have to take over up front for Jozy. It will never be the same.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Which updated data do you guys play with? 9.3 or a custom one? I want to play with the most realistic stats.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

I play via steam so I use 9.3

Drew Valencia in Champions League rd of 16, first leg at Loftus Road, won 3-1.

Signed Lukas Podolski over January period for 21 mill
Sold T. Vermealean for 38 mill to AC Milan, didn't want to sell him but couldn't refused the money,

I would offer him a new contract, he might sign with you, thus nullifying the Bayern deal.

I did, but it said something to the extent of "he has no interest in negotiating a new deal until the transfer speculation ends". He's with Bayern at the moment: 3 starts/1 goal/1 assist. I've got something like 45m in the bank, so I'll be able to do some serious damage in the summer window, with or without Altidore. That is, unless I get relegated.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

West Brom just stole Pavel Nedved from me to manage their squad. I tried offering him a new deal, but wanted $13,500 per week as a coach and the board would only allow me to offer $9,000. He is easily the best retired player/coach I have seen in the game. Pavel, how will I replace you?

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

My Villa team is in desperate need for a cheap striker who can finish. I have about 14 Mill to make a some midseason transfers, but I'd prefer to get a cheap striker and try to pry N'Zogba or Bentley from their respective teams.

With all the play making talent I have, I need someone who can freaking put the ball into the next besides Big John. Carew has 9 goals in about 13 APP but Gabriel Agbonlahor is my second leading scorer with 3. Need some big time help in that department.

BTW, I'm playing FM 2008.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

This thread has got my curiosity up about this game. I've never tried this type of game before but everything I've heard has been positive. So I picked it up off of steam.

Downloading it now. Don't know if I want to start with a big club or a small club though. Might start off with a big club just until I get the hang of it.

Jozy might be a good buy.
A Carlton Cole from West Ham.
Poldolski might be a cheap buy.
Ben Sahar from Chelsea
Andy Carroll from Newcastle deadly on Corners/near post

Big Club would be better if this your first time with it, it allows you to work and adjust on tactics with better talent.




In my second leg against Valencia, lost 3-1 went to ET, scored an 113 minute goal to advance to face Chelsea

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

CL QF 1st Leg, QPR vs Chelsea, I lost 4-2 at Stamford Bridge.

I'm Currently comfortably in third in the premier league with six games to go.
I got this young 19 year old Chinese CB Cao Weiwei coming in over the summer, my scouts are all salivating over him, wanting me to sign him.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

Well I ended up going with a big club, AS Roma.

The board only gave me 6.18 million transfer budget, but I got rid of Taddei for 9.0 million and Brigghi for 3.0 million. So I have around 17.0 million now to spend.

The problem is I can't seem to sign anybody. Does anybody have any tips or advice when it comes to buying players. I have had bids turned down for Christian Ledesma which didn't surprise me since he plays for Lazio which is a rival. But also had bids turned down for Aaron Lennon, Jermaine Jenas, and Clint Dempsey.

Re: ***The Official Football Manager Thread***

I just paid $37m for Gomis last season in the winter. After winning Euros with France, while netting 4 goals in the competition, I guess his value went up. What will I do with the money ($73+ million)?

Disappointed with the way my season ended. On to the England side, Confederation's Cup on deck
