isignedupfornorealreason Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I went with 4-3-3 (Barcelona style) with short passing being the aim. Mainly because United are the best passing team in the league. I disabled transfers for the first window; My results so far; PL: Everton (H) 1-0 LC: Gillingham (H) 3-0 PL: Crystal Palace (H) 3-1 PL: WBA (A) 2-0 PL: Burnley (H) 5-2 LC: Reading (A) 3-0 PL: Sunderland (A) 3-1 PL: QPR (H) 3-0 PL: Hull (A) 1-1 The Hull game, Blind got sent off in the 46th minute which, absolutely killed the game. It's a lot harder to win with ten men, especially Hull's weird 5-3-1 formation thing. Disabling the transfer window prevents De Gea kicking up a fuss. It also makes for an interesting first season. The squad is threadbare in terms of wingbacks, though Valencia does a very good job there. I'm gonna have a huge clear out in January and the following season, and rush Nick Powell into the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsch Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 So it seems that every year, around February, the board decides that the debt levels are too frightening and decreases your retained transfer revenue. Happened to me twice in a row now. Down to 40%, probably will go down further to 25%. In the first year, it went back up to 100% after the summer, when the board realises how much cash we have.

Weegie Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah that's annoying. The finances drop every year between Feb and May - May is when the big sponsorship money comes in, and the only month we make profit - so they lower it convenient for the summer transfer window then it goes back up in Sept! Silly. Should probably file it as a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thim1993 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 has anyone managed to sign pogba at all? was playing around at a friends house, who isn't on the forums but has the beta, and as Utd we spent the whole sumer trying to unsettle him. It worked to an extent but Juventus still refused anything les than 70 mil. Then they made a 30 mil bid for Mata which we rejected, but then offered 15 mil plus mata for Pogba and they accepted. This is the first summer as well, admittedly he did then want 190k a week. just wondering because I have started 3/4 beta games so far with Utd and everytime apart from this Juve refused to negotiate and the player wasn't interested Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heron Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Probably just had my best ever opening season on any Football Manager completing a league cup, Fa cup and League treble ! ...

Hoarau Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 A moderately successful season had me win the league by one single point, far too many games drawn and so many poor results away from Old Trafford. I mean I really struggled in away games, including teams in the bottom 3, perhaps an over confidence by my players and my lack of getting them in the right frame of mind.. This is how my league looked : A lot of my signings fitted in very well, big Ron Vlaar in particular was a rock next to Rojo and Matteo Darmian kinda kicked Rafael into the back spot, he also provided great cover at LB and is a player I'd strongly recommend. The fans clearly had their favourite with this pole, which is a feature I like : My personal highlight was the performances of the young man brought in from West Brom, keeping Falcao to a bit part player at best. Proud he got a cap for England, hoping he can kick on in season 2. I'm thinking of fully investing in him and shipping Wayne & RvP with their mental wages on to shore up the balance a bit. working on a couple of lesser/unknown, some may say non-high profile. found a wonderkid in Mexico who looks tidy, future United No#7..

Sky Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Here is my FM 2015 beta story so far. Started my first game as United, sunday league experience, no coaching badges. Took away points from Adaptability and put them in Motivating. First thing I did was import my tactics from '14. That wasn't possible in the game, so I took screenshots and recreated everything from formation, player roles, and both team and player instructions. Unfortunately this didn't turn out to be the greatest idea because my old tactics, although hugely successful in '14, had way too much micromanagement through player instructions. I struggled for the first few months which I felt was extremely realistic. The squad wasn't very fluid in my tactics and before I figured out the player instructions were hampering them, I suffered many draws especially conceding those annoying late goals. Got called to see the board twice for performance issues, first time was because of five consecutive home draws at OT. Here's the results of the first half of the first season: As you can see we turned it around by around Christmas time, and once my tactics were fluid we were nearly unstoppable. Until... near the end of the season. After all those draws we were lingering around 7th and I basically ignored the title. This was just a beta, right? Time to test tactics and play around. Chelsea and City were also struggling, and Arsenal/Wenger were under immense pressure as they fell out of Euro places. Tottenham led the title race. Lamela was performing as usual, but the rest of the team were also on fire. I thought I had a decent shot at the title near the end with 8 games to go, 1 pt behind Spurs but they had a game in hand. Unfortunately the draw against Palace was the nail in the coffin as we just could not find a way to score for some reason. Spurs actually had a tougher run-in at the end and dropped points against Arsenal but still held steady to clinch the title. It was a very fun and memorable season. First season transfers were disabled. We spent 7m in January. I signed Gabriel Barbosa after my scouts recommended him largely because in my last '14 journeyman save, the AI signed him for United and when I took over we developed a bonding. He has 4 stars + 1 black star in my game. He stayed at Santos on loan for another year. Zivkovic is another who I used before in '14 and I didn't even remember him this year until Madrid made a bid, and the price was low so I swooped in and stole him. Slotted straight into the first team replacing for Ashley Young who, to be fair, wasn't too bad. Second Season Transfers Since I extended Falcao's loan for a second year, I decided to let RVP go even though he did perform for me. This all started because Isco's agent shopped him around during the summer, and the suggested price was around 39m. After some tough negotiations, I think we came out well. And this is my current squad enjoying a strong start to the second season. Last year my tactics were 4-4-2, 4-3-3, and 4-2-3-1. However I found the 4231 to be too fragile defensively, so I changed my third tactic to a Van Gaal style 532. I only tried it in preseason and it was great, very sound defensively and we have plenty of creativity to make it happen in the final third. I am a huge SAF fan, and my play style has always been to try and emulate Sir Alex and continue his legacy. I constantly ask myself WWFD (What Would Fergie Do?)

Scored 1-0 in the first minute but just couldn't cope in the end with Costa, Oscar, Hazard and co. The City game, I battered them. Rooney in particular misses so many easy chances. And Aston Villa scored 3 goals in that 4-1 game. Van Persie wants away for first team football, he's missed a lot until the Chelsea game because he's constantly injured. Annoyed that he doesn't recognise this, I refuse to play a striker who's not fit, especially not in a one central striker tactic. >_> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty2323 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 3rd season finished and i achieved my main of goal of winning the CL title. Won the League comfortable, though lost the Community shield (Arsenal), FA cup (Man City) and League cup (Chelsea). To be honest i wasn't too concerned, i used cup games to really keep my best players fresh for the CL and League, so im surprised i made the finals of the two major local cups. Rooney finally had a good year, and along with RvP and Wener, reached the 20 goal mark. Had issues with Januzaj, Di Maria and De Gea who continually want to join other clubs. Di Maria wanted to leave me for Roma to play for a bigger club? No idea, we're ranked 2nd in the club rankings with RM in first and Bayern in third. Not sure what the deal is there, but i've managed to keep hold of them for now. Moving ahead to the 4th season, having won the CL, decided its time to role out the oldies (anyone nearing 30 with 12months left on their contract) and bring in some young blood. Chris Smalling (30m), Blind (22.5m), RvP (7.5m) and Mata (30m) have all departed. At the moment Mateo Kovacic (22.5m) is the only addition, though i am looking to bring in 1-2 more. Tielemans, Wilson and Djedje (regen) will all be promoted by back up to rotation/first team and given substantial more game time. Objective is to win the super cup, club world championship and retain the PL. Winning the CL will be a bonus given the departures. As you can see, i hate spending money on big transfers and wages, i like to develop and always put it as a philosophy. As a result, the club balance has reached 500m and is projected to hit 765m by the end of 2018. Line up for season 4: GK: De Gea backed up by Scuffet CD: Papadoupolous CD: Balanta CD: Evans DM: Jones backed up by Djedje MR: Rafael backed up by Lozano CM: Herrera backed up by Tielemans CM: Januzaj backed up by Kovacic ML: Di Maria backed up by Shaw ST: Rooney ST: Werner backed up by Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auqakuh Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 It's not a case of the other team doing things differently. It's a case of my team performing massively differently.

Have you looked at weather/pitch conditions at all? i know it wont massively matter in the top flight, but the season starts in beautiful sunshine but by December the English winter is in full swing (snow,rain and ice). Maybe you need to increase your tempo away from home? When teams come to OT they will sit off you more as they look to defend, but may be more adventurous at their home grounds, squeeze higher and you need to adapt. I dont change my formation, but i do tinker with some tempo, style settings and demand things from players in team talks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di Maria - Falcao - Rooney up front. won away against arsenal and Everton, won 7-2 , 5-1 and 5-0 against West ham, Leicester and Sunderland @ home. So i'm happy right now, still needs more testing. Falcao scored 11 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
