Has anyone seen good regens come out of the Barca academy on their saves? I'm basing all of my transfer plans on what regens come out.

[Grecian_03]

Not really, but then I haven't really looked at Barca's academy.

I saw them get a regen defender from their academy, DRC like Puyol and he was just as good to be honest. His name was Nogeurol or something like that, he was awesome

[likeabawss]

Holy ****, Milan just offered Pato out! Time to snap him up!

[Grecian_03]

Milan are strange on this game regard Pato. A lot of people have snapped him up on a free.

[Hershie]

Dunno who to be.

[likeabawss]

Pato is my favorite player IRL and in the game, so I would do almost anything to get him. 20m is a fair price for him, and he's only on 60k wages.

EDIT: Be Barca, Hershie

[Hershie]

Boring..

Want a challenge.

[Grecian_03]

Get the level 11 file and play as Exeter Civil Service?

[Hershie]

Bradford?

[Godlike_Trigger]

Try Stuttgart?


After a couple of wobbly results sending me down to 6th, ive come back with a 1-0 win over derby and a 5-0 win over QPR my polish strikers bagged his 2nd hat trick of the season and is on 11 goals in 9 games for the season.

[Hershie]

Don't want to start too high..

[Deisler26]

Albacete?
Ajaccio?
Empoli?

[Deisler26]

5 points from promotion. 9 points to get. Doubt I'm gonna make it this year...

[Deisler26]

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Undone by Route 1 in the 93rd minute

[Godlike_Trigger]

Had the chance to jump to 2nd with my game in hand against Hull and close the gap on forrest to 4pts
Lost 2-0
still 4th 2pts behind 2nd and 3rd

[Godlike_Trigger]

Possibly the greatest ever performance as a manager yet.
Continuously going behind but finally get our noses in front and go on to win.
3rd League Cup premiership scalp. bring on the quarter finals


Been given a 5th straight home draw to... Man City

[fmfan10]

started a barca save yesterday night to run along my chelmsford game and boy was it fun. i just sat back took some coffee with me pitchside and the latest issue of 442 magazine and watched messi run rings around the opposition. 14games played 14won nedless to say i quit because i got bored and wasnt really feeling it!

[Grecian_03]

Bugger, Ibara is out for three to four months again. Fortunately we're now in May.

[Grecian_03]

Chelsea have no fit goalies and so far the manager has put four different players in goal

[Godlike_Trigger]

Beat 5th placed Reading 1-0 away to put breathing space between automatic promotion and the play-offs.
Still 7pts behind forrest

[Deisler26]

Finished the 2013-14 season. Update is up.

Ive just had a quick scan through all the work you have put in and I've been inspired to do one myself (despite being halfway through the second season)

Wow! Good luck then dude and I look forward to reading it.

And I'm £6k over wage budget and have £4.5k to spend

[mackemforever]

I think its fair to say that snow is a bit broken in Classic 2d.

This is what my current match looks like in Classic 2d.

Managed to wrack up a good thread starter (with 09/10 review on there) you can also tell where I have sort of copied off you too

[Grecian_03]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FA Cup final against Man City, let in a last minute equaliser in extra time and lost 5-4 on penalties

[Godlike_Trigger]

I actually can't be bothered with a separate thread... too many fancy functions and features to get right.


How di I even get rid of it?

[Grecian_03]

Ask a mod to close it.

Two days later and I'm playing Man City AGAIN!!

[Godlike_Trigger]

Closed the gap on Forrest to 5 points after I beat preston 1-0 and they drew to Leeds

[Grecian_03]

Finished 4th in the table. Board are adding 8,500 seats to Flybe ArenA at a cost of over £10 million and are improving training/youth facilities.

[Godlike_Trigger]

Awful
Lost to Watford 3-2 a draw would have been a fair result.
Missed easy chances and Watford missed a pen.
Good game
Bad outcome

8 points behind Forrest now

[Deisler26]

That's a shame. Perhaps just do a season review in your own way, making it simple?

I liked what you did.

[Godlike_Trigger]

I'll probably do a year one.
Sum everything up that way because it'll give me something better to do in life than watch pre-seasons

[Godlike_Trigger]

Going 1-0 down, then down to 10 men, then winning 2-1 at the death, is a great feeling

[JEinchy]

Ah, so this is where you are all hiding!

I've decided to put the old Arsenal save on hold for a while and start up a new save in Holland; Sparta Rotterdam to be precise. I have yet to manage in Holland for any length of time in FM10 so better late than never.

My aims: become the best team in Holland and Europe (this is a given) with a squad that has 90% Dutch players, built around young 19 year old midfielder Kevin Strootman.

[dafuge]

Can I ask a (slightly off-topic) question?

Do I swear too much, and does it bother anyone (admin included) even if it's censored?

I keep getting too easily agitated.

I'd prefer it if there was no swearing at all, censored or by avoiding the censor.

[Grecian_03]

My kit sponsorship has more than doubled for the new season

Henry was top scorer in the Premiership too

[Hershie]

I'd prefer it if there was no swearing at all, censored or by avoiding the censor.

I'll do my best.

Apologies.

Boooo! ....

[Deisler26]

I think I'm in for another season of mid-table anonymity this season. I haven't really improved my squad this year

[Grecian_03]

Woo!! £33 million transfer budget

*Blows it all on a flop*

[Hershie]

Yannis Tafer is amazing. Loaned him for Newcastle in January (on OTFFMO) and he's scored 7 in his first 2 matches! 4 away at Bolton and amazingly a hattrick at home vs Man City, who were 22 games unbeaten - we stuffed them 4-0.

[Deisler26]

And I draw 2-2 with Pontevedra in the opening game. Setting the pattern?

[Deisler26]

And Elche end my cup run again for the second season running....

[Deisler26]

Oh, FFS! A last minute mistake means we draw 1-1 with Gímnastic

EDIT: A 90+3 min free kick from Sakari Mattila means we win 2-1!!

[Godlike_Trigger]

Saved my 1st team ready for the game against Man City
Ended up losing 2-1 to Coventry
Ended up losing 3-0 to Man City
But did win 2-1 against Middlesborough

[Deisler26]

Somehow, playing like crap, we've got into 5th.

[Godlike_Trigger]

Drew to second bottom Millwall.
I need to get back on a run and chase Automatic promotion!

[Deisler26]

Wooah! Nothing like restarting your game with a win!

Especially a win that puts me third!!

[Deisler26]

Booya! Thrashed Málaga 4-1!

Got one of the players who has impressed me from my dutch U21 squad coming in jan for £6.25 Mill. Looking a good player and will add to my midfiled as koumas, becks and naka on there way out. Plenty of good talent coming thru youth also with some good midfielders and strikers esp Scannel who is hitting the net nearly every game just now.

[likeabawss]

Starting a new Hammers save after watching that amazing game today. So glad they're safe from relegation

[ArsenalFan7]

Yes; finally.



Unfortunetly this means debt though. Over £200million of it...

[Suggy33]

Somehow, I've managed to win the Russian Premier Division in the first season with 11th place predicted Terek Grozny.

[Gizmo7]

My best performance and biggest win of the season so far by a mile! Albeit against a very poor Portsmouth team

[NepentheZ]

Why has this thread been moved out of GD?

I quite enjoyed the read in GD. So many sub-forums these days

[Dees-Blake]

Signed a Portuguese assistant manager by the name of Ruca. I'm not particularly high up the chain and he's quite a good assistant manager - and he only wants £40 a week!

Can't really complain.

[Delvor]

Nep - it was 'not' a punishment... for offtopic stuff
Its died a bit really, Played FM for 1st time in a week or so after finishing my 101 point season.
Broke my transfer record by signing Balotelli for £40M, I really needed a good AML/Striker
Got in a load of youth players scouted by my mass team of scouts and 2 freebies including Zac Boucher from Real Madrid.
Sold players of interest:
Abou Diaby back to Arsenal for 3.8M
Jonjo Shelvy to Malloca for 4M
Alex Smithies to Bayern for 3.6M also sold an aging Benaglio for £3.3M to Juve the season after i got him for free.

First two Games - Charity Shield v Man U - I win 3-0 Revenge after losing in the extra time of the Fa cup.
1st prem game home vs Man City - I win 4-0, Montano with 2, Jo, Prince Asamoah

2nd Prem game away at Chelsea.

[Grecian_03]

Well we've been trying to start up an all nighters forum.

http://fmallnightercrew.freeforums.org

[jackripper]

awaiting a consortium takeover at Cardiff, Hopefully brings some cash in or atleast cear the debt.

[BONDY!]

On my 2nd season as the Bolton Wanderers manager..... Just been knocked out of the first knock-out stages of the Europa League by Werder Bremen.
4 days after that, I was in the League Cup final vs. West Ham. Lost 1-0 because of an own-goal.

Gutted....

Got Reading away in the FA Cup next match..... I don't even want to think about being knocked out of 3 competitions within the space of 10 days.

[ArsenalFan7]

Just moved into the 73,000 capacity Speake Stadium after winning the 19/20 title.

I'm annoyed that all my players seem to end up at Man City though... I'm like their feeder club

[likeabawss]

Trying to work out the bugs in my 4-3-1-2 formation with West Ham, and I definitely need some help

Green

Faubert/Behrami Tomkins Upson Ilunga

Noble Parker Collison

Diamanti

Ilan Cole

That's the line up I'm using, with the front three being 'trequartista' 'DLF' 'Advanced Forward'. Any tips?

[Jason the Yank]

Woo!! £33 million transfer budget

*Blows it all on a flop*

Go big or go home.

[Jedzo]

Alright lads

In 2019 and just noticed Cardiff City are sitting 14th in Coca Cola League Two! That's currently the same league as Bath!

Anybody else seen some big drops or rises in the leagues?

[dafuge]

Blackburn in League 2

Blackpool in BSP

Scunthorpe in BSN

[Jedzo]

Lazio in Serie B aswell

[dafuge]

Oxford Utd in the Premier League

Notts County and Luton on the Premier League

[Deisler26]

Singing Jesus. I've had 3rd, 4th and now 2nd in my last 3 games

[Deisler26]

And in this run, we've been denied in the 90th minute and looked like a pub team against second.

We've lost our first game this season and top spot

[Deisler26]

And we've humped Elche out of sight, 8-0!

[Oypus]

I think I did something dumb. I needed a good right winger, one who would be rotation/backup, depending on how my 1st choice 19 year old plays. So I uh bought this kiddo for....oh you know...36M GBP....



He looked better before I bought him, I swear!

[Oypus]

I should badmouth my players more often, because he's just scored in only his third game, his first start...within 10 minutes...

[jackripper]

just got an offer of £60mill for Rooney from tycoon owned ATL Madrid.

[Pangaea]

He looked better before I bought him, I swear!

Hah! I know that feeling. For example when I sell a player I notice all the bad attribute and figure it was a decent deal. Then I look at all the good ones and wonder if I just sold a diamond for a nickel.

On a similar note, I found a great player I really wanted. His price was 'only' 17.75m. Finally the club came back to me with a price. 137m...

I think not

[Gooner32]

The save I'm playing at the moment is one where I started unemployed. My first club was Panionios in Greece. First season we were predicted to finish 8th and finished 2nd, then earnt ourselves a Europa League place in the play-offs. After half of the next season I resigned and remained unemployed for the remainder of that season. Having struggled to find a new team I took over at recently relegated Middlesbrough and currently in January we're storming the Championship. The club had also ran into some financial difficulties before I arrived and were also taken over. The new Chairman seems keen to resolve the financial problems however and regularly adds an extra 600K or so to the balance. Having managed to get a few players to drop their wages slightly, I'm enjoying life at Boro. It's been an enjoyable save so far and I hope it continues that way

[Dan BHTFC]

Am manager of Lokomotiv Astana in Kazakhstan, am trying to claim domination in the league, currently 3 wins out of 3

[football_master_94]

Haven't been on here for a ridiculous amount of time.

Continuing my unemployment save where i have got the Rayo job.

Rayo 4-1 Murcia

[.matt]

In my third season with AFC Liverpool and just won 5 straight after a change of formation. In second after 28 games, 3 off the lead still.

[Dan BHTFC]

Just won the Kazakhstan League, still have 6 games left to play, next seasons expectations is trying to get to Group stage of Champions League

[Jason the Yank]

Woot!

Won my first match in charge of Vancouver, a regional derby match.

[.matt]

In my third season with AFC Liverpool and just won 5 straight after a change of formation. In second after 28 games, 3 off the lead still.

Ended up winning 7 straight, then also won 7 straight at the end and won the league. Had this tactic for 27 competitive games, won 21, lost 2 and drawn 4. Going pretty good.

[Jason the Yank]

Woot! Beat Toronto 2-0 to begin our Canadian Championship effort. \o/

[arsenalboy]

First game up in the Championship as Barnet and I was expecting a brave defeat against Sheffield Wednesday.

Final score Barnet 6-1 Sheffield Wednesday, utterly ridiculous

[Cockney Hammer]

Day off today so plan to play fm in the sun

Been Liverpool for some reason on the 10.3 update. Going well have won the league somehow and sold a lot of the crap thats at Liverpool.

[dafuge]

Just went a club record 42 games without loss, only to be beaten in the Carling Cup final

[Oypus]

I signed eight players in the summer break of my Bordeaux save. Three were youth prospects, but the overall breakdown was six defenders and two keepers. So I had better concede zero goals in the first six games. That included games against OM and Lyon.

Then a 4-0 loss to Bayern Munchen in the CL, but that was a fluke. I swear.

[Pangaea]

Just went a club record 42 games without loss, only to be beaten in the Carling Cup final

Crap

I was soooo close to beating Arsenal's PL record of 49 without a loss. We were up to 46. But then I fiddled with tactics a little cause teams kept parking buses in front of goal and I wanted to put more pressure on them. We lost 0-1 at home to Blackburn, having 19 shots to their 3.

Stuff hit walls.....

[Oypus]

Then a 4-0 loss to Bayern Munchen in the CL, but that was a fluke. I swear.

Update: It was not a fluke. I lost the rematch 4-1. Also go stomped by Aston Villa...seems my team isn't ready for Europe just yet.

[jackripper]

Shame about game number 51

Stil don't like how this thread was moved here.

[Pangaea]

Shame about game number 51

You got it though. I'm never going to get a run like that again. After I was finished being angry at my players for not scoring on some of the huge chances, I regretted changing my tactics around. Perhaps we could have made it a few more matches if I kept them.

One thing that is increasingly annoying me is the almost machine-like goal the first few minutes of a match. It is absurd how often this happens. And if you happen to concede a goal like this, you can bet the house on chasing the rest of the match, no matter how much more dangerous chances you create. It gets tedious to lose or draw matches when you create a lot more chances than the opposition on a regular basis.

[dafuge]

It was always pretty quiet here before the merger, no one else here seems to feel the need to post quite that much.

As for the all-nighters, I believe they have a new home.

[dafuge]

So, we are 2-0 up away at Villa when I make a triple substitution in the 79th minute. Villa then pull it back to 2-2 before I get a man sent off.

Then, in the 90th minute, this happens:

Free kick is taken from the edge of the box.

Axier spots the ball coming, unmarked with his back to goal.

He leaps and connects with an overhead kick.

He beats the keeper.

He wins the match in the 90th minute and completes a hattrick

First time I've seen one of those, and what a way to do it
