MyOleSolskjaer Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Im going to have to be Hyde United in the Conference North. A small club 5mins from where i live in the leafy suburbs of Hyde. I use to be ball boy for them about 15 years ago, so becoming the gaffer seems kinda fitting imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_clark Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Southampton will be a lot of fun this year. In League One, 10 point deduction, but with a Championship quality squad and a multi billionaire owner. Fun times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm going to manage Cray. Unless I can be bothered t go down to Kent League, then it'll be either Corinthian or Erith Town (Cray mk II, half their squad used to play for us/are still on dual registration with us (strictly speaking only 2 of their players are DR)), and if I can be bothered to go to kent County League, Orpington, Canterbury City, Crockenhill, Sheppey or Charlton Athletic Community. So if I cba to go down low enough I still haven't decided yet. BTW I hope the data's right for Cray and the stadium move is programmed in for 2014.

Heartwork Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I can't research until I start getting to enough games, which isn't very easy when you're swamped with A-Level revision and homework (I stupidly chose 5 subjects while everyone else did 3 or 4 subjects which was recomended). All I can give are names and rough positions of the players, and who normally plays in the starting lineu. That's not too useful tbqh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyscarab Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I always play in the Lower Leagues. So this year I'll be going as low as possible. (probably level 11 if I can). For me, starting a game with Chelsea or some other world force in football is a bit weird... In any other game (let's say an RPG) you start off with no armor, fighting moves or weapons and then you slowly level up, working your way up to the top. I like to adopt the same mentality to FM. Also it really helps you appreciate money and the financial side of the game. I can spend season after season stuck in the BSS with no transfer money. When I start improving and finally get promotion, to see that 0k transfer budget change to 30k is like winning the lottery!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartwork Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I wonder what's going to happen with Ian Jenkins if I take over at Cray. Because I know he's the manager and if I take over he'll become unemployed but he sometimes names himself on the bench for games, he hasn't actually played for a couple of years but I don't know whether the researchers will class him as a manager or a player-manager.

Rekobeto Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Start with Barcelona, just to get the hang of it, then Chelsea for a long-term save. After that I'll start in the norwegian league with either Molde or Viking. Hopefully someone will make the lower division in norway and the mighty Træff could be playable as well.

And it is a sort a wonderful challenge to have a team of mediocre misfits, lousy staff and incredibly limited finances and try to work wonders! There is no room for slack and wasteful behavior. You need to put every penny up there on the pitch, and need to juggle your squads and tactics to perfection to achieve results with your obscure team.

Heartwork Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 That can also be annoying if you get nothing for him yet the team that takes him on a free ends up making a healthy profit. That's how Cray feel IRL after losing Jon Main who's now a star striker for AFC Wimbledon, has been for the last few years since joining from Tonbridge Angels, and Sam Wood is at Brentford via Bromley. A youngster we got rid of too early had a spell in BSS and won player of the season before joining Dartford, and Moses Ademola, who left before even seeing the first team here, also went to Brentford, is now on loan at Woking. Can be really annoyong looking at those players and seeing what we missed out on and how well we could've done if we had the money to hold on to them.

Mayzie Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Well, it's been a while since I was last here. :| I think I'm like the majority, I prefer to start out as a big club, get to know who the great players and future stars are while I've got scouts who actually know what they're talking about and work hard on tactics until I'm happy I've got everything ready before moving onto my team (Nottingham Forest) or perhaps even someone lower down. Last time out, my favourite game was with Newcastle. Sofiane Feghouli anyone? Legend at £7.5m, never wanted to move clubs, value rose to over £35m and just generally ruined anyone I played. I also like to start out managing England for a season or two unless a team I like offers me a job part way through, it gives you the advantage of English players wanting to play for you, you become their favoured personel much easier and you can quickly get into a couple of seasons in so the regen's are involved and that's a part of the game I like the best, finding the youngsters and bringing them through. Either way, I'm looking forward to this one, can't wait for the 30th and I've not even bothered looking at the demo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
