Fulax Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 In the third season, and all is well on the pitch. With 6 games left to play I'm in 2nd place, 7 points clear of 3rd and in excellent form. Off the pitch: not so good. Still in a considerable amount of debt. I got the wage budget under control, then a couple of contracted wage hikes kicked in. Got the wage budget under control again, then my head of youth development signed a bunch of average-looking youth candidates. To top things off the Health and Safety Commission have closed one of Fratton Park's stands due to poor maintenance. On the bright side, the last repayments on £10mln worth of loans will be paid at the end of May. Hopefully that will leave me with a bit of money to spend so I can ready my squad for life in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matts Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Well Second Season after just surviving , I won League 1 quite comfortable, losing only 6 games the season, finishing on 98 points, i will get screenshots up later. Had the bear essentials to play with finance wise, funds are still insecure, so signed hardly anyone, managed to keep most of the team from last season, releasing the big named players, signed Racon and Elford-Alliyu. Elford-Alliyu i would recommend as a good signing even if you go down to League 2, finished on 20 goals, Dan Thompson chipped in with 10 goals, I trained Dan Butler to develop Long Bullet throws, and with Mkwandire benefiting scoring 9 goals from central defence, just wondering now how much im going to have to play with for the Championship, as i had to spend most of my left over wages to resign for at least a year Webster and Butler. Wish me luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty6 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I finished 8th in the 2nd season, just outside of the playoffs, I did though manage to WIN the JPT! My wage budget has been cut yet again, offloaded a lot of the older players (Litmanen, Bouba Diop, Nicky Weaver, Ertl, Gyepes) and managed to pick up decent Loan players + re-signing Harris and getting a few decent players (Harry Arter, James Harper) on Free transfers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

salquay Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Just left Premier League WBA to join my beloved Pompey - who are in League Two and struggling in season 2018/19. Desperately need defenders, getting hammered in the FA Cup by Exeter is not good... so any ideas for cheap, very cheap players in that season would be appreciated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMUFC Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hey guys, big things are happening at Pompey this season, with them already having signed a bunch of players for the new season and a fresh start for them now they're out of administration! With a new start in League 2, myself and dupeball have been updating the DB to make it as realistic to the 13/14 season as possible. I've already had a beta file out, but I'm releasing the newer file today at 2pm, with all of the transfers up to date and Pompey in league 2 out of administration. Head over to http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/354043-DaveMUFCs-Mega-Summer-2013-Transfer-Update to grab it and enjoy rebuilding the Pompey dynasty back up!

spursglenn777 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I used one of the tycoon save games in season 1 and 4 season later i'm in the Prem fighting for top 4. Last season finished 5th. Have players like Hamsik, Ericsson, Cisse, Balotelli (beast), Xhaka, Sawcross, Fabio, Handanovic, Boyata, Really enjoying the challenge as the team is good enough to finish top 4 but my role is to keep the team up. Chairman keeps pumping money into the club. My problem is I can't seem to get any feeder clubs. The board says they can't find any suitable clubs. Anyone had this problem?

Old Scouser Tommy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I just had an urge to start a Portsmouth save because I fancied the challenge of having no money or players and being in administration etc. As soon as I started up the club had the transfer embargo lifted after paying money back to the PFA and could 'conduct transfers normally'. Although I actually can't sign anyone on loan, free or even on trial. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this at all. I guess until a takeover has gone through, whenever that may be, I won't be able to. It kind of makes it even more of a thrill for me making the best of the players I've got and some of the young players are looking good with a few I think can make an impact in the first team.

Old Scouser Tommy Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I got taken over Mid-August but wasn't able to sign anyone until just after the window shut so I've got hopefully a few frees coming in soon. I don't want to overload the squad with too many players just to boost numbers though. The skeleton squad have started to string together some pleasing results and have moved up to 6th in the league.

rhchia Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 started a classic save last week. season 1, i survived relegation only after final game on goal difference finishing 20th place. 15 matches played, out of cups and 14th in the lleague table. Currently playing 2 tactic... 1) 442 (AML AMR), Balanced Mentally, Short Passing 2) 433(3*MC, 3*ST), Attacking, Direct Passing No transfer $, wages above budget, club are losing money every money. Any advice on tactic, players to loan and how to help the club from losing money every month? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent71 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think the game is a bit messed up when it comes to Pompey. When they're human managed, they can't make transfers, they don't have money...but when the AI is in charge, they can make loan offers almost straight off from day one, which is really saddening. My Pompey game failed miserably due to the transfer ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJJ Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hi guys. Started a game as Pompey using the original database due to the flaws/bug in 13.3. Just curious as to if it is normal for a takeover negotiation/talks to last four/five months? I've been unable to make any transfers and it's nearing January now.

Gungner Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Just out of curiosity: Is it possible to be taken over twice with the same club? Fx. if you get taken over by a consortium, is it then possible to be taken over by a tycoon later on in the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungner Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 So, I'm not under administration anymore, but anytime a loan-deal is completed, I get the message "Deal could not be completed". How can that be? EDIT: Do I need to be "taken over" first, before I can sign loans again? 'Cause I was under the impression that I just needed to get out of administration.

Jogo Bonito Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Sorry, can't help on answering your question, but when I tried them in FMC on the original patch, it was impossible to do deals for some months after the takeover and end of administration. I just managed to avoid relegation but 2nd season was even tougher. I think, in FM14, Pompey will be a much more enjoyable game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume so. In one of my saves Granada had a tycoon takeover and than 4 years later had another tycoon takeover So reckon a consortium than a tycoon is more than possible, just all depends on luck I feel.

Carefree_Since_1905 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Started a Portsmouth game as I thought it would be a challenge.

Mertyn Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Looking forward to the 2014 thread. Pompey are great to play this season although the board expect promotion! I've brought in Emile Mpeza and old favourites Aaron Mokoena and Darryl Flahaven! Had to loan out a few youngsters to make ends meet and have transferred out Holmes, Barcham (I dont user wingers) and Smith (bizarrely Cardiff wanted him!). Connolly is wicked, Painter excellent and a youth player called Rwakarambwe Is already playing first team occasionally at the tender age of 16! Top of the league in Feb.

Pompeysam1234 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Just secured a massive win to put the super blues in a solid 2nd place in league 2 with 8 gamesto play and 10pts clear of 4th place. Big Paddy Adgymang with a cool finish for a 1-0 win away to fleetwood...P.U.P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mertyn Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Cruising at the top of League 1 right now. Brought back Scott Allan, he's now the centre of my midfield and dictating play, fantastic player. Biggest issue I've found is the short shelf life of Connoly and Adgymang. Patrick has been sold and Connoly is hanging out as a player coach. I'm going to struggle for goals next season once I'm in the Championship. Harris is still my best striker and money is tight. Still enjoying the save greatly - would recommend to anyone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mertyn Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Agreed Agyemang probably had one season in L1 in him, he wasn't getting game time as I have Tom Hopper on loan, brought in Chris Dagnal (?) And a guy called Michael Smith, also have a couple of promising youngsters so Patrick wasn't getting game time and I needed the wages. Sad to see him go.

pompeyfan Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I managed to finish 5th in League 2 and went up through the play-offs - I basically stuck with the starting squad and added a couple of youngsters and got Etheridge from Fulham and Leven from Notts County on loan. In League 1 I'm currently 7th going into November, I managed to get the 2 loanees on frees and again added a few decent free youngsters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeyfan Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 After flirting with the play-offs for a while the 'fm slump (where you start losing for no apparent reason and nothing works)' hit and I ended up 13th, although the board only wanted avoid relegation. Had a mass clearout in the summer with 19 releases and a few sales but kept the core youngsters like Wallace, Harris etc as they were playing well (Wallace was L1 player of the year) and added a few youngsters and some experience like Jenas and Pasanan - started the season really well with 8 straight wins and was top then hit a sticky patch but stayed top 2, then had an 'fm slump' and dropped to 10th by November, but mini-revival sees me 5th in January, but the board want promotion. Bit disappointed at the lack of funds though as still not given a transfer budget higher than £0 and wages only 58k pw even though the club has £8m in the bank and I never got much of what I generated from sales either. If I do go up I can't see me being able to sign the players needed to stay there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeyfan Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Somehow managed to finish 3rd and go up through the play-offs so the hard work starts now of trying to stay in the championship. The board have given £4.6m funds and upped the wage budget to £115k pw but finding good players who will join is a nightmare. Looks like I'll be relying on the core of players that got me up to try and stay up - on the plus side a few of the youngsters have turned out very good - Ashley Harris got 31 goals in 47 games.
