THX1138 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm currently into my fifth season with Cliftonville from Northern Ireland, and we have just managed to qualify for Champions League where we will be up against some huge clubs. My question is should I just play the kids in Europe and rest the first team as being brutalized by some of Europe's biggest teams is going to nothing for their moral, and i'm afraid of suffering in my league, but will sitting out huge games anger them as we are only a semi professional and they may never have this opportunity again :confused: By thx2208 at 2012-02-27[/img] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 First time in the Champions League? My advice is to play your reserves, take the money, concentrate on the league. Having said that - maybe there is not a lot you can do with the money at Cliftonville. I played reserves when I faced Barca with my Kilmarnock side. They won 10-0.

Carmi88 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 play them with proper teams, imagine the income from sneaking Into 2nd or 1st Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranquelme Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Play your proper team. No point qualifying for it if you're going to play your reserves. But that's just me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I've often trashed my league form by trying to compete in Europe with a small club but I just can't resist having a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Should always have a go in my opinion, play your first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You owe it to yourself, the club, the players and the fans to give it a go, so play your first team and even if they are well beaten, praise them for their effort Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackJCFC Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 go really defensive . I've found that 5-3-2 works well for me on the counter but you need the right players obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumble jumbo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 That's the only downside to FM, it has no concept of certain things. I bet if that were RL that team would of totally played above themselves and made it a tighter game, especially with them being at home. I'd say 2 or maybe 3:0 but not 11.

Thomasmc135 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Why, at 10-0 down, would someone get themselves sent off? Too humiliating? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
