Yeah, it reminded me of my chelsea save. The amount of 8-0's I used to dish out was

There are orders of magnitude differences between knocking seven kinds of **** out of premier league teams as Chelsea and doing it to amateur and semi-professional teams as a team that is still probably 4th best in Scotland.

Space bar and windowed mode were utilised to their full and I don't think I made a single tactical change in any match bar cup ties. But the seasons go fast and I'm hoping competing in Europe as a Scottish side might be interesting. As an English side you're so doused in money that the benefit of knowing whether or not a scout has 20 in judging potential becomes too much.

I would suggest "going on holiday" for a season, would speed up the process!

How far have you got in the cup competitions? Would be a good way of reaching Europe with a Scottish League club...

I got to the final (and then slaughtered by Celtic) of the scottish cup when in league 1, semi-finals both other years.

Starting the premier was weird though. So many games at the start, especially with europe, and nowhere near enough players. I was fielding youth team players half the time!

I currently have a similar problem myself!

With AZ, I have midweek-weekend games every week and it's killing my squad! I already have 3-4 key players out, including Jozy Altidore! So I have to completely juggle my squad, like you, for cup matches and the league, because I'm trying to concentrate on Europe...

Luckily I signed a few free transfers and got a couple of loans on deadline day to thicken out my squad.

Bolstering your squad with 1.5* free transfers on as little as you can give them and 1 year contracts.

Further bolstering it with loan players.

Because anybody worth putting in your squad wants to be an important first team player

ps look at who Juventus released:

I'm guessing serie A isn't loaded in the game?

You guess correctly.

I've been playing too much football manager. I figured there is a pattern, where divisions that are not loaded means that the big clubs will sell their potential world class players. It's why you get so many good brazillians and argentinian regens for free. Although I like the spanish league being loaded because I raid castilla, real sociedad B, barcelona B and bilbao athletic for cheap players, they always become disallusioned and they have so many potential world class players in the team.

I've shown you my oscar gonzalez for augsburg who has that messi stat of a goal or an assist every game. He costed me 650k from barca B.

Here was me thinking that loading Brazil etc. would mean you get better regens >.<

Came 5th with augsburg, I've regressed, came 3rd 2 seasons ago, came 4th last season and came 5th this season. However the saving grace is that I've sold kalas for 7mil to leverkusen, planning on using this youth squad kid, my star striker is still here and I have a striker who can take his place in the future(he's 17atm but has got good stats) I put my aim as CL qualification so hopefully it'll motivate the players for a CL spot, the problem is that I didn't win any matches vs the big teams, koln, bayern, dortmund, leverkusen who came top 4 so that pretty much killed a chance of winning the title.

Although I'm quietly confident about this season, I need a right back and I need a left winger but bar those positions I'd say I have enough depth in the squad to compete for honours.

Anyway, who runs their club properly in FM? As in getting the finances in check etc.

It's refreshing to read about a season which isn't 'lol won everything every season with conference north team'.

It's new to be doing an Everton-type job than a Man Utd one, it presents different conundrums and makes you think differently.



Dammit Jim, I'm a manager not a chairman.

When I was younger I didnt care about finances and just blew vast sums of money and get into rediculous debt - owners would sell and a new cash injection would come in etc

But its too easy like that - you end up with a squad of superstars and just smash everyone

Making a profit every month and clearing bank loans etc - then winning trophies is what makes my FM world spin

I like the challenge that a season can give you. I like the journey of a team as well rather than winning straight away. I'm usually a ten season man in a job before I become the top dog but once you're at that level it can get monotonous so I still sell key players. Like the challenge of catching up to teams, e.g. my hull 2031 season I was 10 points behind united in january, won the league with 90 points, beat united in the league cup final, beat united in the CL final.

E.g. my chelsea save where I won everything 2 years in a row with no losses got boring as ****, when I did lose it was in the league cup and that was after 156 games and I'm still 14 points ahead in february, probably going to win everything else and I'll get 103 points again for the third season in a row.

My aim is to do a united 1996 with my augsburg team and win a title struggling for it rather than doing a bayern munich.
