The Things you do playing FM?

I try to play FM with the real world in mind.

Like when i manage Manchester United (The team i support) i will only buy and sell the players that man utd buy/sell in real life.

How about you?

How about you?

Lets say you get to 2010 In-Game. Does that mean you now no longer buy anyone, and just wait in the game until Real Life catches up?

Do you mean you only buy the players that we buy in real life.. the ones that the updates include?

If not then when I play as Man Utd (Also th team I support in real life) I tend to do the same thing, my style of football is similar to what they play now with a holding midfielder and great attacking options so I try to keep that theme going.

Yeah i only buy the players man utd buy in real life.

I play the same tactics as you - attacking football.

I know what you mean but i like to manage as realistically as possible.

By buying the players man utd buy in real life it feels more realistic.

Do you understand what i mean?

By only buying/selling the players man utd buy/sell in real life it makes the game more realistic - well to me anyway.

Yeah I get you, you just don't sign anyone for the rest of your game yeah?

Tbh that sounds pretty boring to me but its your game and if you enjoy it that way then good luck to you my friend lol.

What do you do when players get old and retire?

Well i like to playalot of the youngsters and give them some gametime - blood them if you like. lol

When I saw the title I though you meant things like listening to music or eating , I just buy who I want and do things my own style tbh.

Same here.

Unless there is an obvious shortage in certain positions. Then obviously I have to buy backup.

I try to play as if I am managing in reality and try and get the best players that I can. I try to play a passing attacking game, (not always easy when managing in the lower leagues!)

Nice to see someone with the same idea as me regarding FM.

Does anyone just keep the same squad and bring the youngsters through to replace the first team players and only buy regens?

Yeah i like to keep the same squad when mangaing Man Utd and to bring in the youngsters.

But you said before that you only like to buy players that Man Utd buy irl :confused:

I only sign Spanish players and staff in my Racing game. Not one foreigner signed so far in two seasons.

But you said before that you only like to buy players that Man Utd buy irl :confused:

You have to have regens come through, and seeing as he won't have bought them...

Yeah I know that but he said before that he likes to buy the same players that Man Utd buy irl then contradicted himself by saying he likes to keep the same squad :confused:

But you said before that you only like to buy players that Man Utd buy irl :confused:

sorry, what i meant was that i like to play some of my man utd youngsters, that were already in the game.

Sorry for the confusion

If Birmingham buy a player in real life, I will try and grab him in the game. I won't just limit myself to these players as injuries and sales can lead to me needing to buy players.

I never try to sell any of the players i love or that make the team, no matter what price i get

But you said before that you only like to buy players that Man Utd buy irl :confused:

think he means that IRL man utd arent necessarily after the like of robinho or messi so he wouldnt attempt to sign them however when he does get players he tends to stick with players who would more likly join utd. Im stubborn like wenger on FM so no changes there compared to RL!! lol

Yeah that is what i`m trying to explain.

Sorry for getting some of you confused.
