Just a thread for those night owls about.
In the pre-season for 2018-19 season and preparing for life in Serie C1/A
Getting in two players from my former club which should help out.
i'm game who are you managing?
Im on too, just got back from the Barca v Gijon game
loading up now, pre season 2022, im FC Santa Claus in Finland
yer, was expected, we always play poor after international weeks. Afellay especially played very poor.
Glad i bought my laptop, i stop the night at a relatives on the way back cause its a very long drive, dont feel like sleeping!
I think I am joining you lot at these crazy hours. I just can't sleep .. Coffee ... Metal ... FM
getting better, i just finished top for the first time wth litterally the last kick of the season, I was 2 points behind the leaders with a game in hand on the final day, scored in the 94th minute to take a 3-2! That gives me a place in the CL qualifiers for next season. Just playing the last 3 games of the EL group stages, its funny cause my league seasons finished 2 months ago!
just got my first ever european victory! Beat PSG at home 1-0!
Oooh...
Due to us being the only humans on FM at this time. I might ask you guys who I should choose with a new game, Looking for a team to dominate they're league but looking to get further in Europe ?![]()
port vale feb season 2021-22 in the premier league. we won the domestic treble last season but we're struggling a little this season. we're in desperate need of a good back up striker and central defender but i'm being too cheap.
Ajax it is .. Cheers![]()
Just signed a new 5 year contract, only had 12 months left on mine.
Bursaspor next, the did me 1-0 away in the first game
I got Ł23 with which to avoid relegation with
you two have inspired me to put this game on hold and start a new one. i only loaded 5 countries with this save because i thought the prediction tool was accurate. i have since learned it's useless so what do you guys think i should load besides the big 4-5?
how many leagues do you think a 2.4ghz 4gb ram set up can handle? i want a proper journey man career none of this stick with the first team that hires me tripe that i usually end up doing!
they offerd 3 and I asked for 5 and they accepted!
just drew 1-1 with bursaspor and beat SC Heerenveen 3-1 at home, really happy, last year I lost all the games pretty comfortably, this year i only missed getting throught by 2 points!
I get my budget etc tomorrow... here we go!
I am managing 3 teams cause I am a sick jock.
Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa as I couldnt figure out how to load the Zimbabwean leagues
Southport as I have always wanted to try out the Blue Square Prem
And my beloved Champions, Chelsea. I hate seeing other managers mess it up
250k, almost no extra money for wages and minimum expectation is european quals.
All i need is a CM and a back up keeper so this should be more than enough
yeah mine is pretty old too. i chose a bunch of leagues lets hope it doesn't fall apart. thanks for the help man.
well i found my CM and back up GK anda decent looking regen centre half from brazil.
Also tied down my best defender to a 4 year deal as some clubs were sniffing
Tony Kautto - he sint a world beater but he is a handy backup for cups etc
i got my first gig at clube sport maritimo b. i get 725/week, 30k to spend but i'm over my 3k wage budget by 2k. very weird i have players on loan at the club taking big wages but their attributes are masked.
and my new regen defeder gets a goal on his debut!
boys, whats your thoughts on this feature? In some countries you can only bring in free agents at certain times of the season. For example, i just signed a russian, 22 years old and without a club. I get him in the 'free transfer' window in august (6 months away). What about an option to bring the player to the club to train so he can at least keep up a bit of fitness?
that's a great idea auss there shouldn't be a problem if there are no work permit issues
just annoying that they are basically doing no training etc for 6 months at a time where their stats are effected most!
you're right and the feature is realistic you should stick it in the wish thread just in case they do actually read it.
Right guys, I'm off! Enjoy!
to be honest i'm not sure. i'm playing my first friendly against my parent club maritimo and my boys are doing well. i'll have to go through the season with what i have because of 4 players who are paid a lot of money by us but seem to be in limbo because they can't be selected.
how is yours going? finland right?
yer im FC Santa Claus
Im going ok, im in 2022 now, finished top of the league for the first time last year. Just won the League cup, its set up as a pre season tournament in Finland. Have won it 3 of the last 4 years. Really happy my squads starting to come good, its been a long 12 seasons so far!
Can I jump into the excitement and ask for an idea for a new save? I am bored witless of trying to conquer the European circuit with Wigan after failing to retain the Premiership for the sixth consecutive year. Who knew signing old players with huge reputations could result in league success? Kaka got world player of the year at 35.
Back to the question; totally clueless on where to go now. Are dynamic league reputations making management in other countries worthwhile? I haven't had a good foreign save since FC Koper of Slovenia
i believe they are. I know someone on the board with Tampere United in Finland, in his league they have auto qual for CL and EL (all qual round to start with) and he is getting 25000 at a game.
Even with mine, really I havent done anything yet but already english players are semi interested in me, whereas before it was only eastern europeans and africans.
Very tempted to start an unemployment career in the Scandinavian area. Could be interesting to finally be able to sign some decent players for those teams. I remember when I got to the quarter finals of the EURO Cup with FC Koper, I had to break all kinds of records to get hold of Nacer Barazite and Jacob Mellis as Arsenal and Chelsea rejects respectively. Any recommendations for sizzling lower league management in the Eastern European block?
well im really enjoying Finland, mainly cause of the team i guess, but why not load up all of them? Or even go to the challenges forum and try Gundos challenge.
Ah, haven't looked at the challenge forums in actual years. After completing dafuge's with Mangotsfield, this seems an equally fun challenge. I think I might go Finland, Belarus and Iceland, as they are the 3 lowest non-UK and Ireland league reputations, with adding the notoriously 'buggy' Bulgarian league. Thanks for the advice. No doubt our paths will cross again on another 'Night Owl' page. I wish you luck with your Finnish endeavour.
im sure they will, are you heading off now?
I've actually got a few hours ahead of me, but didn't want to intrude too heavily in your gaming pleasure. Just being distracted by early morning bird song suggesting I should be in bed. I think they will be ignored for now though.
Just noticed your researcher status aussieant. Still sore about Robbie Fowler jumping ship to Perth Glory? Or is Williams still getting the business done?
hahaha no i started unemployed they hired me in december of the first year because they were 20th if i recall correctly. although admittedly i now have a soft spot for them and do follow them from afar. chesterfield too they were my big save last year.
porto just won the CL for a third year in a row, mainly thnks to Rafael
Did become confused with your Spanish location and Australian research. Thought you might have been privately financing trips over to A-league games. A billionaire's idea of fun.
no, just didnt have anyone else for it, there is still a club without a researcher!
I think i did an ok job, couldnt have been worse then what it was!
I can't admit to having ever watched the A-League in detail, other than briefly knowing that Robbie Fowler was prolific for a while. If he is banging them in at 34/35, I can't imagine it is the greatest standard of league. I'd quite happily offer my two cents worth if FM ever got to the detail of including Inter-University football. I do think that is a rather distant dream though. If you are in the mood for offering your opinions, do you mind if you run an idea I just posted in suggestions past you? You seem to be fairly level headed, as forum posters go.
Currently playing as Juve to waste time until the new patch comes out then will start a career game as Pompey.
Robbie Fowler has struggled , only scored 9 in his first season and didn't score much this year either. Hardly a stand out.
The idea, whether it is possible or not is another matter, is allowing users of offline databases to export their squads from their successful saves (e.g. if Santa Cruz were to go onto CL glory I am sure you would like to test their metal against other good sides) into a mutual server hosted by SI and do battle. Possibly in a large cup format, working down to same geographical position leagues and the option to interact with friendlies with your mates to see who has the best squad. Would finally settle who had the better team for offline saves. Like I said, whether it's possible is another issue, but if they can manage the interaction of databases for Network games and player v player on FML, I can't imagine they are far off being able to make it work.
Not sure if that made sense, outlined it more on suggestion page, will get you the link.
A manager not obsessed with transfer budgets. You are a dying breed Adam. Bournemouth were a similar challenge.
Am I the only one who absolutely hates conceding? Would rather play out a 0-0 draw then a 3-3.
http://community.sigames.com/showthr...n-here./page66 - post is there auss.
I thought of a couple of ways around FMRTE and pre-existing database changes, but meaning that they have to connect to a server like they have to on Football Manager Live. Stops them being able to change their squads then. And the server would only accept squad lists from official updates. Like I said, don't know whether they are technically capable of that, but would be amazing imo.
yer i think its a good idea if they can work out how to detect if FMRTE etc has been used. I usually dont post in that thread though, most people just tell you that your idea is stupid and shouldnt be added.
The most common response is "Id rather they get the actual game right first" - wish those people would read the thread title first![]()
having my best start to a season, played 9, won 7, drew 1, lost 1, scored 22 conceded 3!
What tactic you using aussieant and what team are you? Sorry can't be bothered scrolling up lol
It seems that there is a large amount of idiots playing the game. Always nice when you stumble across another non-flaming idiot. I think they could perhaps stop some edits but even if they couldn't, it could be avoided by a CA/PA cap (maybe). You could even have an open competition where all the players are of a set standard (like the way you get that Master League team everytime you start PES Career modes) and see who has the most tactical nouse. Couldn't be many arguments that way. I mean, the 'idiots' that would be tempted to cheat probably wouldn't know what had hit them if they came up against someone with solid tactical ability.
playing a 433, im FC Santa Claus in Finland, currently in 2023
Is that a real team?
Nobody seems to believe you on this team auss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Santa_Claus - I think it's particularly fitting they wear all red and have a Father Christmas badge. Very funny.
2 players sent off within 25 mins. pffft need new patch![]()
Dirty Italian football, never changes! Still waiting for my holiday season to expire so I can begin the Gundo challenge as well. Lower league management in Iceland or Finland awaits..
