Football Manager Society II

Ahh they did that in mine too. Erm Aly Cissokho?

Neymar just chose to go to Leverkusen instead of me and I offered exactly what he wanted. Didn't even negotiate

I'm unsure, but with selling/loaning all the players I named from the original Arsenal team + the £16 million they give you in August it's more than enough to buy some top class players. For instance I bought Funes Mori, Luiz, Toloil and then got Kakuta (Chelsea) and Macheda (Man U) out on loan. I still had quite a bit left over.

Then with the £40m they give you in January (I was second in the league, so changed my expectations to Title Contenders, so I think I got closer to £60m) that then allowed me to buy Cavani, Alexis Sanchez and Yann M'Vila (30m, 17m and 25m respectively) So the budgets are more than enough to pretty much create an amazing team. As you can see by the budgets, try and buy cheaper players in the summer and then when you get the huge January budget buy the more expensive players.

*Note I only bought Sanchez as Walcott is out for the entire season due to a broken leg and I was desperate for a pacy AMR.


Anyway, quick update on my season. I've overtaken Chelsea in the league now after beating them in both the FA Cup and League. These games were consecutive so Chelsea fans must be devastated after crashing out of the Cup and then finding themselves second within three days. Now after a few more wins Chelsea find themselves five points behind me, so unless I do something horrific I can see the league being mine. Cavani is banging the goals in, as is Funes Mori, Sanchez has found himself on the score-sheet twice, whilst M'Vila is an absolute warrior of an anchorman, and even if they go past him they have my world-class defence of Davis Luiz and Toloil/Djourou to get through. I'm devastated that Cavani can't play in the Champions League due being cup-tied, however I've got Valencia which should be quite easy in comparison to other teams I could've drawn and Funes Mori seems to be consistent in goal-scoring so far.

haha.... nice to see you have invested in quality english players. Also, does anyone know whether it is worth spending big straight up for arsenal or waiting for the right moment to buy a few players. also, previous fm editions had very little in terms of pressure building on managers. i take it that it is different in fm 11?

Doing it just like Arsene, playing foreigners! I did buy Alex Chamberlain though, but he's currently developing, he's not ready for the Prem yet. In answer to your question, I found it helpful to spend, especially in bolstering up the defence which is pretty much terrible, especially when you want to be qualifying for Europe/contending for the title. I spent around £15 million on the defence buying both Toliol and David Luiz, and I also sold out Squallaci and Vermelean. Djourou is very good in defence, especially if you play him in the RCB position he scores numerous headers, whilst Koscielny is a back-up for the main three CB's.

What are nasri, song, wilshere and arshavin like in the game?

Didn't know TSR had a FM society

Mind if I join?

I only started up recently, but today I had an epic match:

This is why Arsenal should sign Michael Owen

What's so special about that It's hardly epic, no offence.

Leave him alone, he's just starting out

2 hours? wimp.

Nasri's very good, I play him as AML/R Inside Forward Attack and he gets numerous assists and goals, he can also score some great freekicks. Song is very good with some great stats and only gets better. Wilshere is very good from the start, grows rapidly and I've currently got him being tutored by Fabregas. The only minus with Wilshere is he gets tired very easily and his condition drops low, so it's hard to play him every game. I have no clue about Arshavin I ****ed him straight off to Liverpool for a hefty sum because he's ****.

@Psychotic - Nice. I was wondering whether to keep either Vermelean or Djourou but I thought I'd make more money through selling Vermelean, but for me Djourou is outstanding and has about 6-7 goals from corners.

P.S Walcott is terrible as a striker, he paces pretty much every defender but is terrible at converting chances, he always gets played AMR because I think I'd get so frustrated if he played up front.
