polskaGOLA Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 This year will be much harder to find Basque transfers than last year I would imagine. Hmm... Will give it a go later on though. Probably the save for me after my Fiorentina save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArranoBeltza Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Not really, I hardly sign real players as Athetic anyway... Same here. I must say, it is a bit more difficult with Real Sociedad being in the top division, but there are still pretty good Basque players to be had for relatively cheap. However, I largely sign U-16 players, so...yeah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArranoBeltza Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 SI has announced that the hotfix will be save-game compatible. Now I feel like a fool for deleting my original save. Looks like I'll be starting again now and going through the pre-season/the first match... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalGenius Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yeah, I nearly threw a mini-party on reading that! Just as well I have Black Ops to occupy me until the hotfix is released! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArranoBeltza Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Well, I just finished the pre-season and the first match. I made the exact same transfers as earlier, but also loaned out Ramalho to Murcia. The first match against Hercules ended as a 1-1 draw thanks to a late goal from sub David Lopez.

willyw Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Maybe someone knows. I am more of a lower league manager... do one of you guys know if there is a lower league team in Spain which also has this Basque only rule? That would be a good challenge. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romanista1994 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Maybe someone knows. I am more of a lower league manager... do one of you guys know if there is a lower league team in Spain which also has this Basque only rule? That would be a good challenge.Thanks I tried that with Barakaldo C.F on FM10, getting promoted to the Liga BBVA. Apparently they can sign non-Basque players, but it let me filter them out in player search. I might try Athletic this year. Also, Barakaldo and some other clubs get only Basque players through their youth setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good challenge.Thanks Unfortunately, I am fairly certain that Athletic is the only team in the game that has a Basques-only rule. However, there are many Basque clubs in the lower leagues: Alaves, Barakaldo, Gernika, Sestao River Club, Eibar, Arenas Club de Getxo, Lemona, and Real Union- these among many others. There is also Aviron Bayonne in France. As Romanista said, I believe these clubs can filter Basque players, and all of their newgens get Basque nationality.

ArranoBeltza Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Well, I restarted for what should be the last time. Here are the transfers: Pedro Jesus is a newgen, here's a screen (I'll be keeping an eye on this kid's development): So far, so good in the season- won the first match against Hercules 4-2, then came back home to beat Atletico Madrid 3-0. Igor Gabilondo has three goals for me already!!!! I want to play more, but I'm too damn tired and I want to wake up in time to watch the REAL Athletic play tomorrow!

I just finished that match and Amorebieta scored off of a corner. Things were looking good, but then Gurpegi got himself a straight red in the first half- the game ended as a 5-1 loss. Still, I'm in 8th place- not so bad. I'm using the standard training. Muniain is improving...And, 3-1 win away to Sevilla, Muniain assisting all three I may go back to standard training- it did well for me in the demo...

ArranoBeltza Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Also, I don't know about you guys, but both Susaeta and Gabilondo are tearing it up for me. In 13 competitive matches: Gabilondo has 5 goals, 1 MoM, and an average rating of 7.12 Susaeta has 3 goals, 9 assists, 2 MoM, and an average rating of 7.33 By the way, I just moved up to 5th place after a 4-1 win over Osasuna, on the back of an Iker Muniain brace.

Falahk Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Is it just me, or are there way too many yellows given in FM11? it was worse in the demo, now it mostly seams to be insane amounts in rival matches which is almost kinda suitable (it surly dont help if you play in Italy thought) then again my tactics thend to be on the agressive side, maybe a more concervative aproch would work better now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArranoBeltza Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 JANUARY TRANSFERS UPDATE: I brought in Ander for $20.5mil, and brought back Yeste for $2.6mil. I moved Ander into the MCL spot (formerly JaviMar's slot) and switched the role to advanced playmaker, and moved JaviMar over to the ball-winning MCR slot. I figure Yeste can act as cover for Ander's role, though now I have too many CMs so I'm going to look to get rid of Igor Martinez, as he doesn't fit well into my team (though maybe I'll see if he's useful in Ander's slot) and one or two of Merino/Gurpegi/Orbaiz. Ander's debut match was a 6-0 victory against Deportivo thanks to a brace from Susaeta, a hat-trick from Llorente, and an extra goal from San Jose. Ander ended with a 7.6 rating- I am pleased Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in FM10 I played him there sometimes as a second choice AMC when he got old in my 4-4-2 diamond. He was pretty good. However, he can do pretty well as an inside forward at AML.
