Matt_no_7 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Cheers Matt No7. Was thinking of cup games & "lower" opposition. Will also use the condition rule of nothing less than 96% You can also use them in some league games, those games were your at home to those proping up the table. Using them off the bench when a win is in the bag. 96%... Big ask for players in my teams, i only ever tend to make the rule 90% and will stay on until they hit 70%.

Coen Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 But surely, you have got to keep all players happy? When you say "youngsters", do you mean those in your first team squad or those in reserves/youth team etc? The way I do it my first team squad has 2 players per position, many of these are younger players but with only 22 players in the first team squad it's not generally a problem giving them all a decent amount of games over a season - it will pretty much happen by default with injuries, suspensions etc. The back up player for each position is generally set with "hot prospect" or "back-up" as their squad status so they don't get unhappy about only being backup. Players outside the first team squad I send out on loan if possible, or if not they just sit in the reserves but will get used in Carling Cup/easy European games, other than that I don't use them. So the key decision for me is at what stage is a youngster ready to be promoted to the first team squad, because once they're in that squad they'll get games. And the hardest part of that is often deciding when its right to sell an older player on to make room for a youngster coming through, or deciding which of several promising youngsters gets the spot in the first team squad as back-up - because I always force myself to limit my first team squad size to 22.

I tend to have the same sort of system when it comes to squad size. In FM11 it was 3 GK's (two first teamers and one youngster for the future) 4 DC's (3 first choice and one younger player who's played a bit in the first team) 3 DR's 3 DL's (both have two experienced players and one young player for the future) 4 MC's (3 solid first teamers and one promising youngster 3 RW 3 LW (as with the full backs, two first teamers and one top quality youngster) 2 AMC (one first team player and one young back up) 2 ST (same as above) 27 players all in all for a 4-2-3-1 formation with wingers. Play it game in game out. Also i find keeping players happy througout the season easy, it's towards the end of the season that they begin to complain and it's mainly the ones i've decided will be moved on in the summer.

KyleGraham Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Some of my main problems with the Leeds squad in the demo are the massive underrating of Nunez, Lonergan and McCormack. Also, what imbecile decided Michael Brown can't play defensive midfield considering that's been his main position most of his career! Anyway been using a 4-2-3-1 to great effect. Finished my demo run in 3rd place. I have found that O'Brien is a liability regardless of stats (so they got that right). Lonergan does the job in the first season. And all the players I have bought I have done so using monthly instalments as I felt the squad needed a rather large overhaul. In: Free Parnaby (Great signing plays consistently well) Beattie (Never played so he huffed and is rotting in my reserves) Jlloyd Samuel (Doesn't play as both Lichaj and White do a great job at LB) Loan Lichaj (Great as back up and his long throws are dangerous) Miyaichi (Great player gets a good few goals and assists and really worth having) Frimmpong (Was playing well but broke his leg early on) Cash Samaras (Quite decent up front scored and assisted a few and good back up to Becchio when he returns) Clingan (Great as a deep lying playmaker in defensive midfield. Scores too) Bamba (Really solid centre back. Having to play him in DM after Frimmpongs injury and he's still doing great) McGugan (Great advanced playmaker getting goals and assists but can have an off game. Great to rotate with Howson when Jonny's been retrained to play AMC) Mackie (Great player to come as back up. Makes an impact with goals and assists) Out Nunez Parker Paynter Bruce Bromby (loan) Cancelled Keogh's loan to get back some wages Other notes: Youth products Lees, White and Gimpel are all ready for first team action. In my team Gimpel and White are averaging at 6.95 at least (I think White is higher and that's him playing as a left back) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowre Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 if possible bring Wilfred , cover DR and scout market. For example, you can find one great 100k player in spain (club is Roque something), at tenerife B you'll find Zambrano, also very cheap and real bargin. You can see them at spain qload. Nick Montgomery fo 1.8 at 48months is a MUST HAVE option at the midfield. Frimpong can be loaned. At defence, i allways sell O'brian and RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elland road boo boys Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Just a quick question lads. How do you transfer tactics & training schedules from one FM to another? (ie From FM11 to FM12) Have always had to set them up every new FM!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coen Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'll no doubt be online at midnight as well, will be too much of a temptation not to. Just a quick question lads.How do you transfer tactics & training schedules from one FM to another? (ie From FM11 to FM12) Have always had to set them up every new FM!!! You just need to copy the contents of your "tactics" or "schedules" folders (I think they're called) from within the FM11 folder and put them in the corresponding FM12 folders. My only problem is always finding the actual FM11/FM12 folders on windows 7, can't remember exactly where they are on my PC but can post more details later. Edit - actually thinking about it you dont really need to move the files at all, it's just that when you try to import a tactic or training schedule from within FM12 it will look in the FM12 "tactics" or "schedules" folders by default. But there's no reason why you can't browse from there and choose to import a tactic or schedule from the FM11 folders instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah nice one, I just got to January in my game, sitting 4th in the League so looking good. Rapa and Pavon have both been great at the back for me, my 2 best defenders so far. But I also need to raise funds if I'm to sign anyone else, was going to hang on to O'Brien and Vayrynen as back up but I might just have to offload them as well if I can get decent money for them. Edit - wasnt able to get any decent money for anyone in January, the only offers I had for players were over 48 months which was no good to me. So going to have to see the season out with my current squad, which should be enough for a play off spot I reckon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coen Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Nicko - I've found it hard to raise any cash in the first season as well and given I've blown all my cash on Sanago (who has been good to be fair, top scorer, but you'd hope so at that price!) I'm struggling to be able to sign anyone, found quite a few players that would have improved the squad but I've not been able to afford the fees/wages. So I think I'll play out the first season now, see how much money we get 2nd season and have a bigger clearout then. Currently 3rd in the league with 10 games to go so meeting the board expectations in the 1st season shouldnt be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can push up the team quality big time with players like Gioda, Bottinelli, Pillud, Ambrosi (what a back four!) but I'll need to sell some of "the untouchables"...

Coen Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Well first season finished, and we ended up finishing 5th. Was in touch with automatic promotion with about 3 games to go but didn't quite do enough to get there. Faced Forest in the playoffs but ended up losing 2-0 at their place and could only manage a 0-0 at Elland Road. So another season in the Championship for me! Snodgrass was player of the season at AMR with 10 goals and 19 assists, new signings Sanogo, Rapa and Pavon all did well - those 4 players had the highest overall average ratings. Lees, Howson, Clayton, White, Pugh and Becchio all did enough to convince me to stick with them for the 2nd season, Gimpel is also developing well so should be ready for more regular games next season. Everyone else will be offloaded if possible - so I reckon I need at least 8 new players over the summer. Ended up buying a young keeper called Kristoffer Nordfeldt for only £10k, still 22 but with the potential to be better than Lonergan. I also signed a couple of 16-17 year olds for £150kish each, highly rated in terms of potential but we'll see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicko Blaggo Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Here are some initial South American transfer targets, all came to Leeds and I can list fees if anyone is interested: DR Ivan Pillud.

Coen Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Some good finds there Nicko, Cardacio is still available on the cheap in my game so might have to give him a go. Initial transfer budget for season 2 has been set for me at £3.2m (interestingly they tell you the initial figure in May now, so you can start thinking about transfers a lot eariler) - that should be enough to do some serious business, I just need to see how many of the current squad I can offload now!

Cheers, looking forward to this one, with the ME a bit more settled will hopefully be able to get a good career game going early. Nicko, thanks for the advice mate, hadn't thought of Vayrynen at AML. On the AML front, for some strange reason, Wigan have got Maloney in the reserves at the moment, one I'll be keeping an eye on I think, he would be perfect for my role. I've also found a few DM's that look worthy of further investigation if anyone is looking for one. Gustav Svensson - Bursaspor - Valued at 650k Adrian Ropotan - Tom - 550k Jiri Klarrubsky - Slovan Bratislava - 350k Vladimir Ghadzev - Levski - 275k Dzmitry Verkhovstov - Naftan - 190k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
