***The Official Football Manager Thread***

I love it when I hammer Manure

Hahaha agreed.

ManUre and Spurs (damn them) always give me fits in FM. Something about them. I could be top of the table at the end of the year and they could be bottom... But those two teams have probably handed me the most losses in FM ever. Its not just this year, either. Ever since I started playing.

I could rant about those two teams. City, the Reds, Chelsea, Arsenal... None of them give me as much trouble as MU and Spurs.

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

Completed my destruction of Man U by beating them 2-1 at OT. Balotelli scored 2 goals and I basically went into a defensive shell after to close out the game. My reward for making it to CL Final is taking on Real Madrid, who hammered Juve 6-0 on aggregate.

I've already won Serie A, so I'll be focusing on getting through the last 3 games before taking on Roma in the Coppa Italia Final before heading to Wembley.

Got a 5-year extension so I can continue to turn the team back into a beast. El Shaarawy is my player of the season. The guy scores and assists all the time.

One of the most epic games I've ever had in FM

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

I can definitely say I was highly emotional during this one. It started off badly when Benzema ran roughshod over my defense and scored 2 quick goals to give Real the lead. At that point, I was just hoping I wouldn't get thrashed. Then, Zouma scored against the run of play and I thought, OK, let's see what happens. Then El Shaarawy scored off a brilliant counter attack and I was thrilled. Back in the game, guys! Second half was basically me watching Real probe and probe. Ronaldo hit the post and missed some great opportunities.

However, extra time beckoned and it was shocking as Abate, already on a yellow, brought down Benzema and conceded a penalty. To make matters worse, he was sent off, knocking me down to 10 men and leading to me cursing his name out loud. Ronaldo scores and I switch my tactics to overload praying that I could get an equalizer.

I throw on Pazzini and Nocerino as my final fresh legs and in the 117th minute, Nocerino heads in a deflected Balotelli cross to equalize!!! I cheer and switch back to defense. Disaster strikes though as Ozil scores....but the goal was called back as he was offside. Phew. Off to penalties we go.

Balotelli opens by coolly slotting one past Casillas. Alonso follows and hits the post, giving me the early advantage. El Shaarawy scores, followed by Modric, Bojan, and Ozil. Nocerino then scores to give me a 4-2 lead and Ramos has to score. He misses and game over! I cheer and cheer because that was an epic CL Final and the most nail biting game yet!

Blah. Got sacked unjustifiably imo. Narrowly missed a spot in Europe at Stoke first year when all they wanted was me to avoid relegation. Got off to a horrid start and got sacked after getting thrashed by Man U. Never actually continued a save after getting sacked so I'll see how this goes.

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

My time at Saint Etienne is done, other teams not named PSG get any talent via transfers in this league. They're just losing them to teams in other countries and got pretty bored beating weak teams.

Going back to EPL, and try out a new formation like always. I'm sure I'll get bad results in first 10 games and change back to my 4-2-3-1 in no time so I don't get fired

Will try the 3-5-2 with either Everton, Sunderland, Fulham, West Brom or idk.

Edit: Team TBD as of right now lol

Went with Millwall, didn't get them promoted in 2012, so hopefully I'll have much better luck with them in 2013. Stole this 3-1-4-2 tactic from someone online, I love having a sweeper.

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

Need some help guys. Looking to possibly take a little break from my Bayern save and want to start in France. I am looking at Havre AC, SM Caen and FC Paris. I see each of the clubs could be a Ligue Un powerhouse with development. Havre has a great youth system, SM Caen has a few great prospects and Paris FC,the goal is to overthrow PSG for city bragging rights. What do you all think I should do?

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

Just completely dominated Barcelona with Real Valladolid. 4-0 win. Played 5 defenders and a defensive mid and counter attacked because I had to since two of my center mids were hurt. Set opposition instructions to play Iniesta, Pedro, Sanchez, and Alves extremely physical. Was up 2-0 at half. Barcelona of course dominated possesion with 59 percent of it but I think I've found a good formula to get a result against Barca for now.

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

Also if anyone here knows how to create 3d kits could you do the Paris FC one?

Here you go:

The first post on this page has a Championnat National link.

EDIT: I am just failing today. Those aren't 3d kits. Just the pictures of them on your info page, match screen, etc. I can't find any below Ligue 2.
