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

Does anyone else get that satisfaction when the team you just beat sacks their manager.

Just beat Villarreal 2-0, and they sacked Milla.

The win also secured promotion to Liga BBVA

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

Just won the Spanish Cup over Valencia on penalties. Two of their penalty takers completely missed the net. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect my little defensive squad of nobodies to win the Spanish Cup. (It helped that Real Madrid laid down for me)

As I stated before, I've won promotion to Liga BBVA, where I'm most likely in for a rude awakening. This season has been hella easy for my squad, However I didn't realize how easy...



I'm convinced I'm cheating somehow.

Decided to run with something to compliment my arsenal save. Loaded a bunch of unknown leagues with a Sunday rep. Found myself at Metalac in the 2nd Serbian division.

My team tried their hardest to let other teams get promoted instead of them. Still ended up at 2nd place but it was frustrating to watch my team crumble down the stretch.

Fergie retired in my save, so Man U replaced him with Pep. They have Neymar as well.

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

After managing to re-sign most of my squad that ran away with LIGA adelante, I also managed to add Jordan Wynter(backup), Conor Henderson(backup), Andrea Mazzarani(rotation), Viktor Fischer(Key player), Samuel Galindo(backup) and Daniel Boateng(rotation). So my Starting XI going into my first overmatched year in La Liga will be

GK Cristian (21 yo, 17.5k/w)
CD Inigo Montes (22 yo, 20k/w)
CD Alex (19 yo, 4.5k/w)
WBR Pedro Altamira (22 yo, 20k/w)
DM Josep Tomas(20 yo, 6.5/w)
DM Craig Eastmond(23 yo, 11k/w)
WBL Fernando(c)(26 yo, 10.5k/w)
MC Gabi (21 yo, 500/w)
AMR Djalma (27 yo, 28k/w)
AML Viktor Fischer (20 yo, 21k/w)
ST Juan Carlos(regen, not the original) (19 yo, 28k/w)

I begin the season 2000-1 odds to win the league(in my wildest dreams, never) Tito Vilanova left Barca for Spain's National Team, Barca hired Michael Laudrup to replace him. I get the glory of losing to a full-strength Real Madrid squad in the Super Cup I imagine, and I've begun to realize I'm screwed when it comes to the Europa League as I have maybe one homegrown player....

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

Decided to take the Arsenal job, trying to buy back your a couple of youth players from your previous team is a bitch.

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

I haven't played since the new update. Anything noticeable with the match engine?

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

Holy sweet jesus i love this team.

Down 0-1 at half at home vs Stuttgart(EURO) I get aggressive and tell the team to "Show Me Something Else" Viktor Fischer comes out and nets a hatty.

Real Union 3 - 1 Stuttgart FT

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

I just started a game with Exeter City, hopefully get them to the Prem within 5 seasons. It's going to be tough, but I'm looking forward to it.

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

Love International Friendlies, get to see some younger players to see if they're ready for real competition.

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

So I'm doing a US National Team save, anybody have any idea why Juan Agudelo, Brek Shea, and Omar Gonzalez might be nowhere to be found in the database?
