AMS Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Hi, I was wondering if there is any way of inducing some sort of meltdown at a club with the end result of them being relegated. I don't want to cheat, by the way! I am managing Plymouth Argyle quite far into the future, and am the dominant force in the world. I would really love to see at least one of the top teams get relegated, but is there anything I can do to achieve this? Would buying their players work, or would the money they gained make them better off, etc.? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadZone Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Tbh, I don't think you could heavily influence another teams downfall directly, not without using an editor anyway You could try to demoralize them with news stories about there manager and players, as well as beating them... but that's about it, and there is a chance that will have the opposite effect and make them determined Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenalboy Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Keep winning the big trophies and making the CL places to keep one of the big teams out. Eventually the best players will stop signing for them, and they'll start to fall. Though I highly doubt it would lead to relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMagpies Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 indirectly no buy thier players, they use the money to strengthen with an editor, easily only other way take charge, turn transfer budget into wage budget sell current decent players for as little as possible hire 50 useless (free) plebs on maxterm contracts and pay them as much as possible laugh as they enter an uncontrolable downward spiral Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanNUFC Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 only way really is to use fmrte and continuously ;press the 'destroy team' button, but thats pointless tbh. Unless you use it on liverpool or cardiff, ofcourse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3rvin Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 i used to do this with 2 clubs all the time. sold the best players, promoted reserves and youth players and made sure the keeper would run out of his position to the CF position. dunno if you can make keepers do that too. i would get sacked midway and just recreate the manager and continue on. i did this enough times to make the team go to the lowest league lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the worst diver in the premiership in steven gerrard, who also happens to be a repulsive human being ! All this before you even get onto the general area and the least knowledgable fans in the league. you are not alone in hating them, they are an embarassment to football....fingers crossed they go bust and out of existance some time soon !

AMS Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 They have the worst diver in the premiership in steven gerrard, who also happens to be a repulsive human being ! I so agree with this, they never would have beaten AC Milan in 'that' final without his ability to hit the deck with minimal contact. I think this is why most of his goals are so spectacular; whenever he's within 18 yards of the goal his knees just go all weak. I think it's a shame for someone with such undoubted phenomenal talent.

Ozzsam Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 In my save, Man City finished 17th in the table with just a couple of points from relegation, I was so tempted to keep reloading their last game to see if they drop. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMysterio Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 One thing that I have seen in the forums in the past is to buy players with £0 up front and say £50 mil after 50 goals. For defenders this isn't going to happen for a long time. This is how some FM players have conquered the world and think that they have done it fairly and have sent their CV to the best clubs in the world. Doing this with the team you want to 'destroy' may work. They shouldn't get any money until the clause takes effect (which you never let happen, just sell the player before it happens) so they'd lose all their star players and have no money with which to rebuild. And before Liverpool and Manchester United fans start moaning about real life situations just remember (and I speak this especially to Man U fans) you weren't moaning when you were winning trophies under these Americans that you so hate. I'm not saying that the Man U fans who are now donning the Newton Heath colours are living up to their moniker of being glory supporters but... oh wait they are.

Bosson Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 There's been a couple of threads floating around here the last couple of days, one where Blackburn dropped out of the BSN and another where Man U went all the way down to the BSN and came back to the Prem.

Draakon Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Just let AI do it. In my Ajax save in 2010/2011 season, PSV had a really really bad start. They have 19 points from 20 games - something you don't expect from PSV in Eredivisie. After 10 games or so they sacked manager. Things didn't improve much, but at least they got out of relegation zone and won few games. Now they're 13th place in January when transfer window opened. Personally I think they had pretty OK squad, I mean - I could have been able to challenge for title with this team. But instead AI started to make insane moves on the market. They sold 3 of they first team players (Amrabat for £5m, Skacel, Koevermans almost for nothing) and replaced those with overrated ones - £5m for Jonathas from AZ? Come on! To be honest their biggest problem (at least on paper) is defence, not midfield or strikers and now they've sold pretty much most of their creative part of the team. So it's pretty fair to say that AI is destroying this team without any additional help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried, failed. They only accept bids like these for fringe players who are past it, or average youth players. You would also need an outrageously huge transfer budget to complete such deals just for the fringe players alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
