injury time goal to get the draw? thats a tough one

Finished the 2022/2023 season at Reading in 9th which was better than expected, but i just felt like i couldnt take that team any further. Board selling off key players without me having any say was the last straw. Noticed that Liverpool (my fav club) finished 14th and fired yet another manager (3rd in 2 seasons) and it was time to go after my dream job. Landed the job and immediately blew up the team.

by now it is mostly made up players, they had a lot of over valued english players who were 3 star max but valued at $20 mil. So i was able to sell off enough to bank about $45 mil for the upcoming summer window. Stole a couple guys from Reading and a few others that i discovered along the way and hoped for a mid table finish. 2023/24 season started off decent enough and we were sitting 7th in the league at the winter transfer window. Didnt really have any money left so the only moves i made were for prospects.

After the break, everything started to click, we lost only 3 games the rest of the way and finished 2nd in the BPL 3 points behind Man U (who reeled off 30 straight without losing). Easlily my highest finish ever in the BPL and my first time in the Champions Cup

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

Brought in Stephen MacKenzie to play as a sub midfielder on a free and John Rooney on loan to play sub AMC/M(RLC) for a while and eventually start. Not sure how they will play out, only been in 2 matches thus far.



Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...and also plain bad on defense
But my striker Jack Midson was leading the league in goals until we played Cheltenham and Duffy had a hat trick :/



Hopefully we can snag some points here in these next few matches. I'd really like to try to make it to 8th place but top 10 is what I'm really hoping for.

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

Taking another crack at Athletic Bilbao. I think I got the youth systems and how to develop them figured out. The transfer restrictions doesn't bother me because I read that I can sign any Spanish players before they turn 17(I believe).



Somehow, I'm not allowing goals. I didn't knew my tactic was this defensive. My board gave me 20M, but I don't really have anyone to spend at. I kind of wish Llorente was still on the team.

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

Morten Olsen retired, I took charge of Denmark, I'm still in charge at Arsenal, but it may only be for a few more matches, I'll at least see out the game vs Norwich in the COC Quarter Final. Beyond that, I may resign, only 190 days into my Arsenal reign.

Played as Atheltic in FM12, fun team to run and I loved the restrictions. Really need to focus on the youth and make sure you have your scouts looking for the best Basque talents when teams get the new intakes. Save your transfer budget and get the bank balance up so the board will be able to keep all the facilities at excellent.

One of my favorite saves of all time was actually Real Union(also Basque restrictions), spent 20 years building them up to the Liga BBVA, it was probably the single most rewarding save I've ever done, it was also the most heartwrenching at the end. Club got bought by a tycoon(somehow) and he demanded a Champions League victory, a CDR victory, and a BBVA victory. I was fired after losing in the Second Knockout Round, Losing the final to Barcelona in the CDR and finishing 3rd in the BBVA.

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

I had a tycoon take me over on FM11 (I think) when managing a team in Northern Ireland. It sort of ruined the game a little bit for me, instead of scrounging around for cheap players I could easily spend about £2-3m on a player.

Put my St Pauli save to the side for the moment and I'm managing Celtic for a relatively stress-free game. Although I quite embarrassingly went out of the Champions League to Slovan Liberec in the 3rd qualifying round. In the Europa League group stages with a group of Atletico Madrid, Genk and Dinamo Moscow.

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

After my Rangers save got corrupted, I figured I would start a save as the US manager using my 4-2-3-1 tactic I used with Rangers.

11 wins, 5 draws, including a victory in the Gold Cup and getting 3 points at Azteca in a 2-0 victory (should've been 4-0 but Corona made a couple of brilliant saves). Current FIFA ranking is 17th.

One point away from automatic qualification to Brazil with two to play. Only issue I'm having is piecing the squad together because of injuries. 22 injuries currently in my national pool.

Not really looking forward to it, but it'll help the finances.

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

I have a bit of a silly request if anyone could help me out.

So, I had to reformat my hard drives back when and I just reinstalled FM2013. I have re-downloaded the facepacks, stadium BGs, adboards, logos, trophies and basically everything I could need graphics wise except for the kits.

Going through a bunch separate threads / downloads yet again doesn't interest me in the least.

Is there any chance that someone here would happen to have all the SS kits (well, at least all the minor and major leagues released) and be able to rar/zip those up and upload those for a brother? Would be greatly appreciated.

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



Soooooo, my team finally stopped sucking. I just kept cautiously saying that I expect better and had 2 or 3 team meetings. Boom! Unbeaten streak. Also Not being in any other competitions might help? because we're only playing once a week and other teams might have rescheduled a midweek fixture because of J.Paint or Capital 1 cup? hope that's why because I would love to get promoted..or at least into the playoffs



Sitting nicely in 5th with 5 matches left. 4 Points behind 3rd place and a long shot for promotion... but Jack Midson leads the League in goals and average rating. He was behind Duffy in both when we last played Cheltenham. Duffy had a hat trick that match :/
Midson passed him the next week and hasn't looked back!


Edit: Midson was named player of the month in March, I got snubbed for manager of the month >:/
my midfielder had the 2nd best goal of the month (my first time a goal happened for me or against me) i half assumed that the cpu just made these goals up lol

Oh and i Also need my board to give me more money so I can re-sign the guys i have and go get the last 2 or 3 pieces i need to gain promotion next season. Unlikely i bet.

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

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

In one game with Arsenal, I had 31 SOG, 1 goal.

I hate those games. Even though we won 1-0.
