lmao at Preston btw.![]()
Looking good Major !!
What defensive set up do you use ?
Ive dominated the BSN this season but have drawn the last 3 games 1-1 which is a bit anoying.
Especially as the 3rd 1-1 was a result of my keeper being a total donkey. He got an official warning for that one.

Update on my game:
Conceding way too many, aswell as drawing too much. But Overall I'm pleased with my current position. Spent the whole transfer window trying to find a RB for 100k, as that's all I had left in the transfer kitty, only on the last day to ask for more and have it acceptedGot 3 mil.
Gonna start playing now doubt many people will be joining me in playing this early but west ham 2moro so im gona have an early night!

Damn, wish I had something to play for like you guys.
Playing an attacking mentality at fast tempo (It's just how I roll)
Defensive line inbetween halfway and deep. Defenders got a normal mentality. But they just make so many mistakes, and an incredible number of wonder goals are going against me.
Scoring more and more each year, but also conceding more
Gonna revamp my whole squad I think. Trying to sell Keirrison to Dortmund - who are 1st - in a swap deal for an amazing regen defender, but Keirrison keeps rejecting, while regen accepts. So annoying, he wants better wages and a key role. I fined the idiot offered him mutual termination twice and put him on the transfer list. What more can I do to get him to accept???
Finally i have a squad which im happy with every position and bench. First time ever on FM its happend to me. Enjoying this Man City game very much. 5th season going well 5 points clear of 2nd place Everton after 11 games.
Selling Cavalieri to an Italian team, but he has a good replacement for Liverpool Number 2, in the form of Jussi Jaskelainen, from Bolton who are in the Championship in the second season.
Evening dudes!
How's everyone's careers going? I'm just off to fire up my Villa game. Sitting 1 point clear at the top after 15 games (season 2016/17). Next game - Blackburn (H). I'd like to think i'll get a decent win against them. Don' think i'll have a super late night but 2am could be dooable!
Just about to fire up my save for the night
Got Max Payne on in the tele and FM on ma computer, what more could a guy ask for![]()
Well I just beat Blackburn 2-1 after being 1-0 down. Questioned their passion at half time and that seemed to lift their performance. Still 1 point ahead of Man Utd but the league is still very tight with Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City all winning!
How many games you into the 5th season Hammer?
Edit:- Just had the 1st round knockout of the Champs League draw. I got Real MadridPray for me....

What a disgustingly bad season
Finished an all time low of 13th.
Hate my team, feel like ripping the heart out and buying a new one, don't have much money though![]()
Well Since I last posted :-
2-0 vs West Brom (H) - EPL
3-2 vs Fulham (H) - LC
3-2 vs Wigan (A) - EPL
2-4 vs Man Utd (A) - EPL
1-1 vs Wolfsburg (H) - UC
2-3 vs Liverpool (A) - EPL
Reo-Coker, Riquelme, A Young, Laursen all back from injury now, time to rise in to the top 10 (13th now).
Wow just beat Chelsea 5-1 and i was 1-0 down.
Congratulations! Whats your lineup?
Great win mate. I take it that was at home, right? I just sneaked a 1-0 win away to Newcastle with a Keirrison penalty, played really well though. I'm also Russia manager but we don't have any competitive games until the World Cup 2018, which we are hosting - so no qualifying for me. YAWN!![]()
Yeah was a home win and my lineup was
Afkinfeev
Spence Fazio Sakho Mathieu Messi Gerrard Flamini Feghouli Aguero Vagner Love
and you only won 5-1? With that lineup?!![]()
I'm going to do my Notts County save tonight and I might do a bit of my FC United save as well.
Subbed Messi Aguero and Feghouli at 3-1. Knocked Chelsea further outa the title race.
Im off for abit to play some fifa bye.
Spence? A regen by chance? The rest of your team is scary to be honest.
My main starting 11 is usually:-
GK: Mandanda
DR: Rafinha
DC:Fazio
DC: Curtis Davies
DL: Luis Henrique(regen)
DMC: Lukman Haruna
MR: Ljajic
ML: Ashley Young
MC: Silvano Raggio Garibaldi
ST: Keirrison
ST: Demba Ba
Subs are usually:-
Akinfeev/Smithies
N'Gog/Sturridge
Vukcevic/Wilshere/Andreas Laudrup
Breno/Albertazzi/Huth
Gladkyi/Aleksic
Ribery/Tine/Bostock
Santon/Opare/Helan
Laurito just rejected a move to Chelsea after my chairman accepted a bid for him and he accepted my contract offer.He is on the clubs favoured list and vice-versa. Doing really well for me and McCarthy has just got injured when he was at peak form.

Career game. ish.
Im Wycombe at the moment in 2011/12.
Won promotion from League 2 play offs earlier and started this season with a 2-1 win over Millwall who ran away with my league last year. My summer signing Adam Drury scored the winner in the 92nd minute with a RIGHT FOOTED screamer.
My Team:
Forster
Sinclair
Doumbe(my top league scorer last year)
Davis
Drury
M.Phillips
Burns
Grant
Gerard
Odejayi
D.Hutton
Other players include Brouwer, Akinfenwa, Clifford, Euell, Marwood, Lewwis Spence and Scott Vernon.
Think i will survive in league 1?
I'm happy with my City squad now, 6th in the Prem 9 games in, got told to finish in a UEFA cup place.
![]()
Ahhh Jordan Spence. Just looked him up in my 2016/17 season and he's playing for Stoke but not that special tbh but well done on nurturing him correctly and making him a wonderkid/class defender
Update:-
Charlton(A) - 0-0
Middlesborough(H) - 4-0
Cardiff at home next, Im expecting a riot against them but have picked up a few injuries of late so might have to play some squad/fringe players!
Anyone found anything decent on telly? I can't seem to find anything worth watching![]()
No i mean i bought him at the age of 17 and played him and got him tutored and stuff and got him quality i dont edit players dont see the point in cheating.
Here's a story to sum up this wonderful game
Had a useless season with Pompey, mainly because my defence is useless. Have the top scoring partnership in the league Cardozo - 19, Mustafi (regen) - 32all's well!
We finished 13th somehow, so I decided to buy the monster regen at Dortmund to go CB.
I have 5mil plus Keirrison accepted, he accepts the offer, 90% done deal, but no. The stupid brazilian striker rejects because of wages and no first team guarantees.
I try the same deal 5 times, with the same outcome.
End of the season Dortmund come to me with 14mil for Keirrison. I'm tired of him at this point so I accept. And hell, he accepts!!! Getting 80k a week and being indespensable
What the hell! I try getting the regen again, and have 25mil bid rejected. Life sucks sometimes, football manager life sucks always![]()
Evening guys!
Decided to continue with my Celtic team:
Got a 1-1 draw in the San Siro with AC, beat Aab 5-0 away also!
Wanting to progress further, but with R.Madrid qualified, me behind them and AC 2points behind me going into the last game (R.Madrid at home) i need to atleast do the same/better than AC do in their remaining game!
Wish me luck!
Well, they made a non-negotiable bid. I don't think they would've gone along with it though. By that time their value of him had quadrupled or something. Guess I'm stuck with Steven (10 mistakes a season) Taylor, Ledley (old man) King and Younes Kaboul
The only thing keeping me going is my super regen Mustafi. Only 22, but the big boys are lurking, trying to poach him. I turned off theame 'cos I got so scared.
Yeh I'd like to see how he turns out on FM09, on 08 he was pretty drat good, but not world class. I've literally just released him after having him for 6 seasons. The highlight of his career was a hatrick against Wigan, including a 30 yard thunderbolt, also he won the Carling Cup twice and got himself sent off in the champs league final about 45 minutes ago (real time).
Tried to sign Joe Hart on loan as he was not playing and he accepted it so now I have Fernandez and Hart (who I can sign for 5 mill) as my goalkeepers.
4th season with Notts County in championship so if I buy him then I can get a lot out of him. Got a good takeover and now I have 18 million pound budget. Looking to stay in the Championship for this season and the season after so I will have a strong squad because I feel that I would be relegated if I were promoted at the moment.
Think I might join in
just started a new game with Blackburn
Not played a league game but the first game is away to villa
Transfers In
Fernandinho
Roddy Palacio
Transfers Out
Olsson
Santa Cruz
Wish me luck
Good luck, but selling Santa??? You don't really deserve any![]()
My Villa game update:-
Cardiff(H) 4-0
Walsall(H) - 3-1 FA Cup game
Currently drawing 0-0 at White Hart Lane in the 1st leg of the League Cup semi, i'll be happy to take this result back to Villa Park tbh.
Got Tamer Abu-Taha from HSV Hamburg coming on a bosman in the summer and currently bidding for Bolzoni (Inter DMC) who is at Juventus in my game to replace an unhappy Lukman Haruna who is unhappy and wants a new challenge.
Still top of the EPL![]()
Update:
Drew 3-3 with R.Madrid, AC won.
Looks like its the Uefa cup for me![]()
My first game has been moved due to international games![]()
Thought I might aswell post him here but would you sell this guy based on his terrible injury record?
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/2231/walterg.jpg

Barcelona have offered £65 million for him.
Very tough call AcidBurn....I would be tempted by the £65m offer but his stats are soooo good it would be hard to let him go. The majority of the injuries have just been minor IMO apart from the damaged cruciate ligaments. It is annoying to have a player who is injured frequently, I've had the same problem with Keirrison.
Are you likely to get a player that is better than him with the money being offered? I doubt it with stats like that! Maybe give him another season and see if he picks up abit on the injury front!![]()
Good Evening people, I have decided to join you for an hour or two. Would stay all night but Elland Road beckons tommorow.
After winning League One in the first season with Tranmere I just about survived the Championship finishing 21st. This season I am 19 games and am lying in 14th place in the league =D
I wouldn't sell him but try and get him on a fitness training programme to improve his natural fitness.
First game is just starting Tottenham home![]()
I protected him towards the end of last season by only using him in important games only. He scored twice in champions league final and in the FA Cup final. I just had a quick look at other strikers in the game and none are as good as him not even close I have a reasonably healthy bank balance so might give him another season and try to protect him for the big games.
1-0 so far Morten Gamst Pedersen![]()
Season 1 - FA Cup 4th Round
Aston Villa v Vauxhall Motors (My Team)
I beat Cardiff in round 3 it was a 1-0 win the other games had been my league or 1 blue square premier sides
Keep your wages low and look for frees and try and get a parent club. Oh and stick to a simple 4-4-2.![]()
Have a look at Vos hes 40 but joins lower league clubs and has great stats.
If he's scoring goals in finals he's probably got a good big/key games stat, this in combination with his fantastic technical/mental/physical stats would mean I'd never sell him. I reckon even if there was a striker as good as him on your database he'd cost about 100million to prise away from whoever had him.
Yohan Guichard, Jim Ablancourt, Francisco Javier Campos, Ludovic Grondin, Willy Robert, Soufiane Kone, Sean Makle, Giannis Kyriakou, Gael Payet, Gael Hiroux, Pascal Bedrossian, Quentin Boess, Cedric Besson, Didier Caro, James Krause all these are great at BSS/BSN and some do well in BSP
Signed an Irish striker called Ger Rowe looks really good
I struggle with wp for Reunion players with the 9.03 its impossible I think?! so I dont bother.
Oh okay I think im going to start again then![]()
Just looked at game status and i have done 5 seasons in 3 days and 16 hours found that pretty impressive!
Read my threads and posts.
Just look at my name
BSN to the Champ league is how i roll.
Its all about your tactics, i roll about 7 different setups.
Keep the wage structure low and fire 95% of your original team on free transfers or just plain releases.
There are far better players on the free market when the game begins
Yeah your right...although it has to be said the whole league was quite open in terms of scoring and conceeding. I have the 2nd best goal difference, 2nd most goals scored and Joint 6th best in terms of goals conceeded. I think its a decent base to build on...the key thing was the signing of Carlos Ruiz, the guatamalan vice captain. Im not sure how I got him, or why he wanted to join Aldershot but I took it! His club were happy to see him go for 30k so I was smiling![]()
Nearly at the end of my first season in championship with Leicester, currently sitting in 7th, with a 6 point gap to 8th.
Losing to Aston Villa was the first defeat of the season
Well quite a successful night tbh. Only 1 defeat all night - a 1-0 defeat at Anfield with only 10 men. Into the League Cup final after beating Spurs 4-1 over the 2 legs.
Ended up selling Haruna for a tidy £22m profit to Arsenal (which I hope he'll never get a game for with the likes of Sissoko, Toulalan and Fabregas dominating their midfield) and brought in Camacho from Ath Madrid for £10m - bargain IMO
Well i'm off to bed to get up for Soccer Am tomorrow. No doubt catch some of you boys (and girls) on here tomorrow!
Laters![]()
Just had such a good week, 10 of my 11 players were named in Team of the Week. The only one that didnt get picked was my DM standing in at CB, even though he destroyed the opposition strike force. Best week of my short (3 month) career so far
Whats the button to take screenshots btw? I heard there was a way with a button instead doing a Print Screen
Just drew the mighty Shandong in Club World Championship.
I managed to get Lukas Jutkiewicz on loan in jan and he has played games from bench and has scored 7 so far, Everton is my parent club
Gonna finish a fantastic birthday with a good FM sesh.
Sealed a £79mil deal for David Silva - morally wrong, maybe, but I don't care. Also replaced Given with Asenjo and signed Javi Martinez and Davide Santon.
Sold SWP, which has annoyed captain Micah Richards and resulted in him handing in a transfer request which was rejected. Glen Johnson also wants to move on. Also offloaded Darren Bent, Jo, Benjani, Michael Johnson and Elano.
Thats the one
he was great for me well the 3 months i had him, but do try and get the others as they're great
i am off now either for a bit or til sat night going to watch some films have a break from fm as ive been on it for sometime now.
I will be in Blue Square Premier next season as i have killed the league
Played 24 - Won 24 - Scored 82 - Conceded 8 - Points 72
its so easy with the team i have and my tactics are working well plus the odd fluke goal gave me a late winner
how have you played 24 won 24 then moved onto the BSP ????????
BSN /BSS has 42 games..............
Playing first game against Alfreton![]()
[unlurks]
On my Shrewsbury save I've just sold Campos to Wigan for £3M in January 2009 after buying him for £6K in the summer.
As for Bedrossian What a legend! He's got about nine million assists for me.
You Mr Mufckingud have excellent choice in lower league players.

About to play my 100th match in charge of leicester, got Charlton who are sitting bottom and in financial trouble![]()
And If I win this I will also have a 10 game unbeaten streak that might put me in a playoff place![]()
ah ok, just wait for injuries , arrogance and burn out
i have dominated and drawn the last 3 games.
I havent played FM tonight as i just got home from the pub ( bit drunk ) so want a win rather than some beer'd up luck or stupid beer tactics :-p
4-0 away from home
Just won the most pointless cup in football.
