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

I had checked it out briefly, but never got around to actually sitting down and looking at it. The three country limit is a bit of a turn-off(I enjoy having multiple countries available)

It just takes all the fun (everything BUT match day, really.) out of it for me. To each their own, you can zoom through seasons in it - which is why it's there. For those with time constraints. It's not a bad mode for what it is, just not my cup of tea.

Ah, doesn't seem like it's worth my time then, I enjoy everything about the game, I heard it was streamlined, so I was going to check it out, but meh at it now.


In other news, I just finished playing around in the Editor, and I'm hoping that I figured out how to revive the Royal League, this time with the 16 team option(4 Danish, 4 Norwegian, 4 Swedish, 2 Finnish, 2 Icelandic). Includes a Group Stage and 4 Knockout rounds, I'm going to test it now to see if it worked.

Yep, the Royal League is dead, in way over my head haha.

So after taking that 1-10 loss to Barcelona, I've not done to poorly, surprisingly easy Europa League games against Lisbon and Inter. I fully expect to take losses against Dortmund in both legs of the Europa League Semi-Final. But I also expected to lose to OM, Lisbon, and Inter.

Looks like you'll be in the running for Champions League qualifying next season?

My trend of being horrid with any team but one predicted to be in the relegation zone continues lol

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

I hate how average role players are ridiculously expensive to buy as you get deeper in your FM career.

Well, I can finish anywhere from 2nd-6th right now, but I think I'm going to focus on the Europa League and the Spanish Cup, as I've already gained qualifying to the Europa League next year.

In other news, I managed to beat Dortmund 5-3 after both legs. Gotze and Hummels missed the first match at Dortmund. I get supreme luck sometimes.

In the Europa League final vs Galatasaray.

Despite that 1-10 loss which sticks out, lol, that's pretty impressive!

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

Guardiola in my save in year 4 has taken over Manchester United. Since his take over he has constantly spammed trying to buy my players. He even offered €60m for Oscar which I denied. Our first match of the season ended 3-2 on a Cahill header.

Despite injuries I'm still 1st in the league and 9 points out of 9 in the CL. I must say though it has been pretty frustrating. I feel every match I have players getting injured. In the CL match against Sevilla I had 6 yellow cards in the first half and ended with 9 players but not because of cards but injuries. Frustrating but even with 9 we scored on a corner to win 3-1.

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

I love it when Hazard goes in to these "get out of my way" modes and takes the ball from our own half, dribbles around, past and through the entire defense and slots it home far post.

Forget about the Europa League and Spanish Cup and concentrate on the glorious Champions League Money.

Always concentrate on the Champions League Money. Always

Yeah, that 1-10 is a real eyesore. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have changed things so drastically(formation+reserve squad), but I think the rest that it provided was much needed, and the 12 game win streak after the Barcelona game was definitely worth the 9 goal loss and embarassment.

Noted. After reviewing the remaining fixtures, I should be able to concentrate on all three, it's not as congested as my January/February was (game every 3/4 days) My remaining two BBVA fixtures are Valencia and Getafe. Winnable games, but this is FM, so I'll probably lose.

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

I'm up 2-0 on Barcelona 23 minutes in.

I won't go deep into tactics, but so far I think I've successfully frustrated Messi.


A 4-0 victory in the Spanish Cup Final!

Next up Galatasaray for the Europa League Trophy! Giving the players rest after this match, and rest before that match, I lost one of my centre-backs but I'll be fine with the backup(The actual starter most of the time, but got two red cards during the La Liga season, so I benched him)
