Gypsum Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Wow dude nice one. Most I have scored in a game is 5 but the other team usually gets 5 as well I lost the previous two games 3-1 (albeit unfortunately), so it was a nice turnaround! I've established a fairly solid 4-4-2 tactic, but stopping the opposition bursting through your defence and snatching goals seems impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wlv Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 So how's everyone finding it this year? Struggling with finances a little, especially knowing that all my players contracts are up at the end of the season.Only had time to play to September but so far so good, leading most games but end up drawing 2-2..last game I won 6-0 away from home so fingers crossed this a turning point. Still, fairly happy with 14th after the first month. Playing a 4-2-3-1 however I've pulled one of the CMs in to a DM slot to offer more support. Most players on short passing with a normal tempo. As soon as I'm happy with it I'll swap to commentary only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennuk Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Just done all of my pre season games, was pretty happy with all but the last. My Bury Town side has been bolstered by about 14 signings, only had 11 players, 4 of which left on frees just after i took over. So now have a good 23 with a few U21 players pulled up into the first team. Now about to start my first game against north ferriby, a previous dafuge team of mine!

DEERHAUNTER Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I reckon I'll go for Corby town, as they are fierce rivals with Kettering and it'll be the closest I can get to Kettering! Ties in nicely with my FM13 save where I was Kettering, although I never managed to post on this thread, couldn't find time to play it and write up about it, but I managed 24/25 seasons with Kettering and I won the Europa League twice but never managed to break top 4 as all 4 teams were Oil clubs and could spend triple what I had without selling anyone!

At the moment I'm using the following :-Allow rest before and after match.Default focus - tactics lowMatch Prep - Att.MovementEach players individual focus is set to the role I want them to play (I.e winger). All set to average intensity.Problem is players do end the game on like 60% fitness. I'm wondering if that's because I have no coaches, or I play with 'hassle opponents' on at all times.

Any advice? Being part-timers, fixture congestion can be a nightmare. I was lucky that King's Lynn came up with a pretty big squad and I had the budget to add to it. Not a huge amount of quality though but the numbers help. And my assistant handles match preparation and all that, which really helps. I rarely have players who are shockingly unfit unless they're injured. But I tend to sacrifice certain games if needed by fielding the reserves for the sake of first team fitness. Cup games in particular, and occasionally league games if fixtures get too congested. The only thing to worry about is morale dipping from a loss, but assuming your opponents are facing similar congestion (AI managers tend to field REALLY tired players) then you should have a fitness advantage to make up for it. But primarily I don't add to the problem by playing anyone with fitness below 90%, anyone below 95% is only started if things are desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting thing, for me as an Arsenal fan is I've signed Robert Pires as a coach for £30p/w. Decent stats but I just had to sign him for sentimental values! how did you get a coach to sign for that amount, standard for me seemed to be about £130-160 p/w. Perhaps Blyth's rep is higher, players and coaches always sign for less if the rep is higher.

glennuk Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Well still going well. After 17 games, im 3rd with 34 points. Leads me to believe that at least i will still be in a job next season. Just hope we can push on for the rest of the season. Already 900 pound over my wage budget so no more signings in January unless i get rid of some of our less then stellar performers.

Yeah I've got another coach on £25p/w too but all the other scouts/coaches and YOUTH players are asking silly money. I've tried to sign 15 year olds and they want 200-300p/w some of them, it's ridiculous, had that problem on last years edition but not too this extent!

Hypanimz Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Dulwich Hamlet - Skrill South - 2015/16 For me this was a extremely frustrating season. We started nicely and we were in and around the playoffs up until week 15. at this stage we decided we wouldnt win a game for another 10 games. We then found ourselves sitting just 3 points above the relegation zone and I was fearing the worst. Thankfully we found our form at the end and jumped back up to 8th position. We finished only 5 points off the playoffs and in my opinion if we didnt have that terrible run we would have comfortably reached the playoffs. League Table Past Positions[/url] Cups - FA Cup was rubbish. Knocked out in the first game. FA Trophy we mafe the 2nd round where we lost 5-2 to AFC Wimbledon. This started our downturn in form. Squad - I'm happy with the squad. Needs a few more reinforcements. Especially in goal. Finances - Meh. Key Player Profiles: Bobby Traynor - Not as good as last season but 36 goals in 46 is still a exceptional return. Robin Nicholls - 6 goals and 10 assists from central midfield. Hopefully next season we can really push on from this season. Avoid the mid season slump and maybe we can get into the playoffs.
