shen Posted 11 April 2011 Share Posted 11 April 2011 Giving Reading a bash and if that doesn't grip me I'll step into untried territory and go non-league. It's quite different when you struggle to sign even League Two youths. Vauxhall game is going nicely. Sitting in fourth after a third of the season. Think the point hes making is that if you have the wages but not the transfer fee you can stop other teams getting him by having your offer accepted and then the transfer falling through. Would buy you a couple of weeks game time. Shen hook me up with AMR bargains and the best leagues to have open but not playable. Yeah, valid but nearly useless point imo. The salary cap will prevent offering any decent wages so you're likely to go for players that you could already attract in the Champo (i.e. not great players). As for AMRs, well seeing as I hardly use them, I won't be the best for advice. You probably already know Buonanotte, Willian (got him second season for 4,2mil with Hoff admittedly after finishing 3rd), Shaqiri, Götze, Jonathan Legear, Jefferson Montero etc. Pedro Leon is usually in the Real reserves and could come cheap. Some young ones that could become good are Yaisien (PSG), Paul-Jose M'poku, Keko (Atl. Madrid), Stanley Okoro (if he gets a WP), Peniel Mlapa (Hoffenheim). About the non-playable leagues, I'm not sure the players appear as the database shrinks when you make them non-playable. Tbh I haven't checked, I just pick them as playable Best leagues would probably be the main leagues though (France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Netherlands at a stretch and Portugal) and if you fancy some of the top stuff pick the Argentinian and Brazilian leagues. Btw check out Dario Conca and tell me it isn't annoying you cannot get a WP for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe. Posted 11 April 2011 Share Posted 11 April 2011 In a massive rut at the moment with Brighton, I hate it when this happens. Been second for pretty much the whole of the season, got three matches to go and just dropped out of the play-offs. Nothing I do or change seems to work, bloody annoying. Won those last three matches to finish third. Won the play-off semi against Swindon on penalties after losing the first leg. Got dicked 4-0 in the final. Anti-climax.

Joe. Posted 11 April 2011 Share Posted 11 April 2011 I bloody love pre-season though - time for the completely unrealistic transfers to arrive. Board forced me to sell Elliott Bennett to Forest though, probably would have accepted anyway to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 11 April 2011 Share Posted 11 April 2011 Put South Korea on on my Reading game because I wanted to sign Ji Dong Won and now I absolutely regret it. Loads of amazing bargains that I'll never get work permits for. Even Won isn't eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB11 Posted 11 April 2011 Share Posted 11 April 2011 Took the Liverpool job in November. Won the FA Cup beating Leicester 5-1 I let my contract expire to the end of the season as the Liverpool board were being gay (offered me a transfer budget of £14 million, when we got to January said they couldn't afford it so reduced it down to £2 million!!) Bad financial position so I'm currently unemployed and want either a big job (Man City, Real Madrid... lots of money!) or maybe go back to my roots in the Championship and get another club promoted?! Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydos Posted 11 April 2011 Share Posted 11 April 2011 After winning the first game in the Prem 3-2 at home to Fulham I was up against Man U at Old Trafford next. After being fairly outplayed but still holding my own I knicked a goal against the run of play and they didn't really create many chances for the rest of the game. After awarding 5 minutes of stoppage time (somehow), and with no subs made during that period Berbatov pops up at a corner (which i'm sure they shouldn't have been allowed to take) to head home in the 96th minute. Livid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw check out Dario Conca and tell me it isn't annoying you cannot get a WP for him... Ill have a check of those i've not heard of above and Marcel Risse too. Ta both. Loaned Jeffren from Barca and hes been doing reet tbh. Signed Smithies, Kadlec, Cairney, and Clyne and got Lamela, Spence and Jeffren on loan. Flogged Wellens, Oakley, Howard, Berner, Logan, Weale, Neilsen and loaned anyone else i dint like. Sent Uchechi back too. Had Vrsaljko and Toloi but they fell through on WP and then price respectively. Badelj dint want to come and Lukaku chose Arsenal over me. Inexplicable really. Smashing the league atm though. Top after about 10 games and only conceded twice and lost 1-0 to Reading. Through to the 3rd round of the league cup as well after beating Palace 7-6 on pens. PVA made himself a hero.

Ozwin Posted 12 April 2011 Share Posted 12 April 2011 It's been ages since I had a really good game on FM and at last I've got one with Santos. Was expected to get mid table at the start of the season and even though I have Neymar and Paulo Henrique in the side the rest of the squad wasn't nearly as good as some of the other teams in the league; I'm looking at your Fluminense! I signed a few players, couple of DMs (one; 'Leandro' who was a free has been a bloody sensation for me), couple of wingers (Ananais, bloody brilliant for me, check him out yo) and a few players for the future; one of which I put in the reserves, noticed him doing the biz' so pushed him in the main side. In the space of about 6 months he's one of the first names in the first 11 now and he's only 19. First team: Anyway, the season turned out much better than I had expected to say the least. Won the Brazilian National First Division and Brazilian Sao Paulo State Championship, with my wing back formation I scored the most goals in both competitions by far although I did concede a few. But you know, you only have to outscore your opponents and that's what I did. Also, 7 goals in one league game, have some of that! The magdaddy though, I just won the Copa Libertadores! Beat Cruizero 3-2 on aggregate to do the treble! Absolutely delighted with that. I feel like I actually put together a team and the players I brought in took this team to the next level. Well happy.

FowFTW Posted 13 April 2011 Share Posted 13 April 2011 Not sure if this is meant to happen but the first game of the season was during internationals (this is in the premiership) so it meant my goalkeeper was away and my others were loaned out so i had to use some academy player and my top scorer was out and my 2 solid CB's!

If it's 3rd season then i'd hazard a guess that it is meant to happen, your players were at the olympics and you were unlucky enough/too short sighted to have several key players eligible for teams in the olympics.

dominicmsb Posted 13 April 2011 Share Posted 13 April 2011 Played against Chelsea earlier and they played a 35 year old John Terry up front.. I think injuries got the better of them. Didn't work because I won 4-1 Ishak Belfodil came on as a sub and got a hat-trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom17LCFC Posted 13 April 2011 Share Posted 13 April 2011 absolute joke. everytime I try and start the game I get that message 'football manager 2011 has stopped working' or something similar. anyone knows what's wrong with it?? edit: i've got 2 user accounts on the computer, and the game itself is loading up fine on the other user account. is there any way that i can transfer the current save i had on my user account to the other user account?
