My first competitive match with Minnesota United.

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

I'm eager to see how your Minnesota United save goes, SS!

I plan on starting one as well, probably after my initial Spurs save.

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

It's been a crazy transfer window after I finished third in my first year at Liverpool in the beta. Really crazy.



Thanks PSG!

FIRST WIN! Away to TFC! What a comeback! I also woke some people up at 2:40am with that last minute winner!

For a while I thought I'd get fired, now I think I'll win everything. Fun first season of FM 17.

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

Started a save unemployed with a retired international player. First job offered was from Stoke in December. They were 18th and 8 points back on 17th. I took the job with a promise to not get relegated.

We got relegated.


Went 4-3-13 in the last 20 games. But to my defense, we had soooooo many injuries. Like, I've never experienced that amount of injuries in FM before. It was crazy. I had a hard time fielding a full team for a large portion of the matches. Playing lots of u23 players. And losing lots of games by one goal.

And strangely I haven't been fired yet. Although I just got an email demanding a meeting to discuss me job... They asked why I feel I lost so many games. I said injuries. They said that is no excuse... "Maybe I should just resign them?"...



Wow, okay. **** you too Peter. Peace! (I've never seen that interaction before, or that response)

I was kind of looking forward to trying to get them back up, but oh well.

Also Chelsea fired Conte with two games left in the season, and hired Jardim. Also Pellegrini is at Swansea.

I've been fired 100s of times in FM, I've never seen a chairman so savage.

So a New MacBook has catapulted to the top of my "next big purchase" list.

What makes it so great for me is this dead, beady eye stare along with that half assed smile, coupled with such a savage response.

I had 5 interviews with the media after this and I just laid into him and the club. It was great. Normally you only get one, but having 5 different publications ask me some new and slightly different questions was kind of cool. But it ended up changing my personality from calm to aggressive. But, the interviews rolled in from 8 clubs all at once. Offers from German second league, Scottish perm, Championship and MLS teams.

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

As always, started off with a Spurs save with FM17.

Got through my murderer's row schedule to open the season. United at home, away at Chelsea, and away at Liverpool. Now a match against Southampton, and then away at PSG in the Champions League.



I am really liking the low behind the goal camera. Used it for a couple games now, and it's pretty cool. Gives you a nice view of the whole field.

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

Heh, either this is a glitch with the beta, or we were REALLY pinging the ball around the field against Liverpool!

Really working that tika-taka tactic there lol

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

You know what feature would be neat, an instruction on Throw-Ins that says "Do not throw ball directly at other team"

It's getting really tiresome when my guy just tosses it out to nowhere

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

I can't get the high line to work at all

Going to do journeyman save with the Beta, first stop is with IFK Mariehamn in Finland.
