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

I've been playing this but I haven't played in a serious save yet. I mainly wanted to manage a international team so I picked Spain but since I couldn't only manage Spain, I picked Dortmund as my club and gave them a billion dollars just to mess around and test out players(and so I could buy Arjen Robben).

Any suggestions for a starting level team for a long career? I'm considering Swansea City or a Asian team. I also don't want to manage a MLS team.

Wolfsburg or Leverkusen in BuLi

What's a good setup for a career game? I usually just do Spain, England, France, Italy, Germany and USA but I'm looking for something fresh

Really just depends on what your computer can handle.

I normally run with almost all of Europe, USA, Mex, Brazil and Argentina (sometimes Uruguay) loaded.

Brazil- Serie A

England- EPL and Football League

Italy: Serie A

Holland- Eredivise

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

Did you check in the standings page all way in the bottom? It should be in small red font explaining it.

all it says is 10 point deduction, no explanation

What does this do for you, I'm assuming you guys are talking about at the beginning of a save, when it asks you which leagues you want "included"?

I usually just do England, Germany, Italy, and France

Are those just the leagues that stats, tables, etc. will be kept for, for the history of your save?

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

Right on queue, 12 matches in sitting in 5th place. (WAAYYY above expectations)

Leading scorer and assist man gets hurt for 5 weeks in training. Right before we play 4 of the bottom 10 teams

Backup Winger gets hurt for 3 weeks. Now i have to switch formations and hope we can get by with a bunch of draws.
I really wanted to keep our decent start going, but it doesnt look like thats going to happen.


Also, one of my midfielders has 4 yellow cards in 10 matches, but they have come in pairs
he wonders why i fined him a weeks wages

More players. More regens. Fully fleshed out leagues. More job opportunities (if you start lower).

I decided on Wigan Athletic for my new save and I'll use this setup. Do you get good players from South America if you load those countries? I heard you can buy Mexican and Brazilian players cheap and then sell them later for way more then you bought them.

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

Not getting any help from FM, got Dortmund, Athletico, Galatasaray in my group for CL. Finished 3rd in this group so I got to play in Europa League....and drew United in the 1st round. Jeez.

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



This is the closest title race I've been apart of, I went in to the last game needing 3 points against Dresden who with a win could get a automatic promotion. If I lost I could fall all the way to 3rd.

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

My star winger returns, i revert from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3... Both my wingers work very well with my striker as false 9 or trequartista

down 0-2 late and Ben Swallow scores once and assists another.

Tied 2-2, we concede in stoppage time!

Forest Green was in 3rd place, as long as Ben stays healthy I think we'll be okay.

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

After reluctantly seeing off my top striker and top central defender, i've brought in a midfielder, a right attacking midfielder, and a striker. The striker is the most annoying thing, I have a great striker in the wings, but he's not near ready for Bundesliga and Champions League football, he's a year or two away, I wanted to pick up a 30-32 year old striker so that when he was ready, there'd be no awkwardness when I wanted him to take over, instead I get saddled with a 22 year old, who's pretty good in his own right, and ready for the big time. Signed a few old Iruna guys to the B Team, because I'm sentimental like that, and the 10k hit on the wage budget is no longer an issue. After winning the Bundesliga our finances went from "Insecure" to "Rich" which is really good, because anything less than UCL football we'd be swimming in debt thanks to my reckless spending. Here's to not going out in the group stage, and still qualifying for Europe next year.

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

So in my Liverpool save, PSG are hard after Lucas Leiva. They offered 19 million with a ton of it installment based. I countered with 10 million upfront PLUS Marco Verratti and they accepted!!!
