turmania Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 yeah I must agree coutinho is great this year. i had good use of Lallana as well. too bad he is too injury prone and hardly can be fit for 2 fixtures a week. but for me hendo is a a beast, allen too plays solid and consistent.

craigd84 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Hi all, im back now i have my new pc. So im back on the saddle with my save. Just entered the 3rd season, after winning just the Prem anc CL last season Oh and World Club. i have sold quite a bit of deadwood, and noticed that Spurs had put Eriksen up for sale so i brought him for 26 million. Few weeks later I saw that Gotze had rejected a new contract at Bayern so they listed him and i got him for 29 million. So my attacking mid and cm is sorted for atleast 5 or 6 seasons. I also signed Neves for 26 million, and Del Fabrio for 2.8 million (good cb). The worst thing i have noticed about this season is that Skrtel who was my fans POY last season is utter garbage... getting 5.5's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Double K Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I am tempted to start again with a new tactic. I'm in November of season 2 and I'm first but my players are just not performing like the season before...Sturridge is not scoring at all and hasn't for a long time. I also want to try a tactic with two strikers and just generally change the way the tactics that I use but not sure if I should or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick A Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Dear SI, It is my third season in charge. I have won numerous trophies and am on course to win absolutely everything this season. On the last day in Jan, two more players wanted to leave to seek trophies at bigger clubs - Raheem to RM and Tielemans to Juventus - this was on top of 3 players in the August transfer window. I promised cups and they are Slt but performing OK. Last season it was the same. I won the League Cup and they were all happy. I will be playing the league cup final soon. If I win, then obviously a happier squad for the end of the season. But SI, you really need to tone this down. Demanding to move to clubs for trophies when they are at the club delivering trophies (so far the Charity Shield, Super Cup and World Club tucked away) season in season out is just not on. Is anyone else really getting fed up with this side of the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLC Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have just had a question in press about being the side that commits the most fouls and receives the most cards in Prem League.But then again, all my players have hard tackling as an individual instruction! Players with high tackling skill a must for the tactic I use :) :) :) Sounds like a interesting and demanding tactic that I wouldn't want to be at the other end of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveDaveDave Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm really enjoying my game. I'm in my 3rd season and still haven't won a thing, but I'm taking it a bit easier, using downloaded tactics just to change things up, trying to sign some more experienced players rather than diving into youth development, stuff like that. With that last point in mind, I have my entire u21 squad out on loan and am only using the 24 (I think) players in my senior squad. I have a couple of u21s - Odegaard, Harry Wilson, Sascha Horvath - that I am keeping a keen eye on, and a solitary imported regen in my u18s amongst a sea of local and Danish waste, a young Czech DM/MC of 2.5-4.5* potential, who I signed for £400k. I still don't let my DoF (Stewart Houston) manage any transfers, but all staff contracts are handled by him, I got Angel Vales as Head of Youth and he handles all the admin for the younger players as well, and Dave Fallows rules the roost over the scouting network, although I am thorough in using that network because it's first time I've had the variable attributes on. Recently I've been using a downloaded tactic called Eradicate 2-5-3, which has a pair of CDs, one X one D, two CWBs on S, two RPMs flanking a DLP on D and three DLFs on A. It worked really well in a brief test I tried with Barcelona, and it's been OK for Liverpool, although it doesn't suit Sturridge especially well. Neither does the slightly tweaked copy of Sabine's post just up the page that I have been phasing in. In fact, Coutinho has outperformed Sturridge, Balotelli and Origi as the F9 in that formation, which means 3 talented, expensive, and varyingly temperamental strikers on the bench. Balotelli is on an awful lot of money, and does take a lot of man-management but when he's up for it, he's fantastic. Has been my top scorer with 49 goals in 77 league games for the club in 2 and a half season. I also use 3-4-1-2, but mainly against flat 4-4-2s because it's so easy. And it lets me give game time to two of those 3 goal machines I have bursting to show what they can do. Another stand-out has been Captain Hendo. He will get a minimum 7.5 in pretty much any position. Scores massive goals for us, runs the midfield, covers his full-back, tracks runners, splits defences, does everything. Hasn't missed a league game in 21 months, and has missed a total of 5 days, from a gashed leg, in the 2 and a half seasons I've played. So, entering January 2017, I'm sitting 2nd, 5 points behind Man Utd - for whom Falcao is tearing the league up with 18 goals in 12 games. I have offered a pre-contract to Jese Rodriguez of Real Madrid. Not sure why as I have a ton of excellent players, as well as Odegaard, in his position. I think I'll probably withdraw the offer. Profitable as he may be, he would be an expensive (£70k a week) rotation player, and I can't risk unhappiness, the pile of egos in my squad is tottering enough. Andre Wisdom has been promised he'll be sold. It's irritating because he's homegrown, but he's not good enough this time around. I can probably fetch £10m or so from someone like Arsenal who are always sniffing around my squad. I was thinking of making my next CB signing an u18 that I can make HG because I would still have Sakho, Balanta, Can, Darmian and Bender who can all play CB. So I may splash out on a classy-looking regen I have my eye on. Quick squad list: Rulli Curci - leaving on a free Wisdom Balanta Darmian Lovren Sakho Moreno Flanagan Bender Kovacic - outstanding and my only big buy, at £33m Coutinho Henderson Lucas Romero Emre Can - always feel like I'm forcing him into the team, but his physical prowess build such a steady platform, wherever he plays Allen - consistent, never moans, tied down to £48.5k/week until 2020 Suso Sterling Markovic Sturridge Origi Balotelli Looking at that, and bearing in mind I'll have Odegaard and Horvath next season, I think I'll definitely withdraw my contact of for Jese. I'm just always looking to get a good free transfer, but I just have a feeling he won't be worth the hassle or the money. I think I'm pretty well-stocked for a few years. Even with small defence, I have so many players that can cover multiple positions it means I'm never short. But like I say, I haven't won anything. I've reach two Champions League semi-finals and finished 4th and 3rd in the league. Can't remember about domestic cups. This time round, I'm out of the League Cup - who cares? - my next game is at the Emirates in the FA Cup 3rd round. Don't think I care though. I have a good shot at the league with my best squad to date (on this save), but it is a small squad. I think I'll send out the likes of Wisdom, Allen, Suso etc and hope they give it a go. I finished in my CL group so I have Real Madrid in the 1st KO round. Haven't faced them yet. I fear I may get battered, but I want to be able to put out a full strength team. And, like I said, I think if I cut the silly results (0-2 against Watford, 1-1 at home to Palace etc) I can take the league this time. Chelsea and Utd are the best domestic teams, with the best manager and the most carefree spending policy, respectively. City sacked Pellegrini, hired then sacked Unai Emery, now have our Rafa who is slowly bringing them up the league after they were 18th after 11 games. Arsenal are being Arsenal, Spurs finished 2nd in 2015, 11th in 2016, are currently 7th, who knows what they are doing. Everton and Stoke have been good. Villa are in the Championship. No-one else is up to much, teams have come up and gone back down and vice-versa. The usual managerial merry-go-round every November and June. I think it's the most fun I've ever had on FM, and I'm putting it down a few things. First, I'm not micro-managing everything. Two, I'm trying to keep transfers realistic, not selling the entire spine of my team and replacing it with 19 year olds who I know are going to destroy, and 3 - the tactics. I have always been aware that I'm not great at FM. I could never do LLM, I relied way too heavily on advice off of forums and y'know -10 shortlists and stuff, but I always persevered with my own tactics, which was based entirely around the top names in my squad, after I exploited the finances on the gamble that I would win enough to pay the debts, because I had the best players. Now, I steal the tactics and do all the other hard work. The scouting, I like it a lot, never done it properly before. Had guys out, but would just snap up 20 or 30 regens every couple of years and then cherry pick the top ones, throw the others away. I like narrowing down my search and tracking players. TL;DR Fun game. I'm not very good at it. Really enjoying it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Double K Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It's been a while since I last used 2 strikers but it's something I've been wanting to do as well. Give it a go and let me know how it turns out. Balotelli and Sturridge should make good partners on fm. Will do mate. That's what I'm hoping for too, as I do firmly believe that they'll make good partners in real life too! If given the chance and one of them isn't played out of position. Think I would need to buy another striker though. Though I'll hopefully try to get Munir this save and have him as a makeshift striker. Any other suggestions on a good, and kind of cheap striker in the first season? I guess it depends on if I can sell all the players I want to sell. But I'll actually be using some of my younger players a bit more this save, which will mean that I'll have a big squad to choose from I guess. Kinda getting excited for the new save now!

dsouthy Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I was going to start a new game when the next patch was released but due to the number of transfers I have decided to start a new one now and not bother with the data update. Started as LFC again, started reshaping the defence and GK. Had too many problems with these areas in past saves. In Lloris £24m (10m up / 14m 24mth) Balanta £6.25m Lucas Romero £7m Ruben Neves £17m Jose Gaya Loan – option to buy at £25m I also wanted Munir at £10.25m but Barcelona always kept offering new contracts to him in previous saves. This time when they offered him another contract I managed to get them to accept a loan with the £10.25m buy clause and when the loan started I offered the 10.25m which they had to accept so he is joining me in season 1 on loan and I’m only paying for 50% of his wages and then he will join me at the end of the year permanently. Out Mignolet Napoli £12m Toure Sunderland 500k Lucas Roma £13.5m Allen Spurs £20m Johnson Fiorentina £8.25m Borini Inter Loan (180k monthly plus 100% wages) This has dropped my wage budget down to £1.6m per week. I plan to reduce that by selling the below. Aiming for £1.4m p/week. Then I plan on selling Lovren, Enrique (if Gaya form is good), Lallana, Balotelli, Assaidi, Borini, Aspas, Luis Alberto and Coates at the end of the year. I may only look at signing Horn, Kovacic and maybe a solid CB and RB depending how Sakho and Skrtel get on. It should leave me with a great team for many years whilst keeping some of the experienced ones for the bigger games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange season as Skrtel who was my POTS the last season was utter garbage so he only played 10 games. I have encountered the bugs of first teamers whinging they dont play much and the other one where a player wants to leave to win trophies but has just won all bar the FA cup. Zlatan was my star player, at 35 he managed a career best of 57 goals. The most i have ever seen one of my player score. Florenzi was another top player Avg was 7.7 over 40 odd games. bargain at 15 million. Gerrard and Xavi both retired.

So just have to wait a while longer. And lucky you for a decent regen. There have been none in my game for the past season and a half. Luckily, most of my players are teens/early 20s. I will also be looking to sell 3 or 4 players. Not sure which ones yet, but I have real issues rotating all of them and Sturridge/Balo are looking expensive - although both score an average of over a goal a game. Then again, so does every one of my strikers, so not essential it is them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigBoss Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Has anyone tried replicating Rodgers' 3-4-2-1 with any success ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLC Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Has anyone tried replicating Rodgers' 3-4-2-1 with any success ? More or less, yes. Played with: 3 DC 2 DMC 1 MR/ 1 ML 2 AMC 1 ST But I abandoned it halfway through the season. Got some good results with it still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem016 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Has anyone tried replicating Rodgers' 3-4-2-1 with any success ? These aren't exactly BR's tactics, but they're both 3-6-1 formations and have been very successful for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matsnor21 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Finished my first season, which was really successful. Won the league and finished with 93 points, two points ahead of Man Utd. Also won the FA Cup, after beating Man. Utd 6-2 (!) at Wembley. In the Capital One Cup i was playing with the subs and many players from U21, and was knocked out by Leicester in the 4th round. In Champions League we got to the semi final, but were eliminated by Real Madrid. For the new season I'm changing the formation from 4-1-4-1 to 4-3-3 (flat). Got the board to increase the transfer revenue from 35 % to 50 %. Made some interesting transfers for the new campaign. In: Marquinhos (PSG)- £35.5m Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid) - £4m + Adam Lallana Calum Chambers (Arsenal) - £28m Out: Sebastian Coates (Southampton) - £5m Andre Wisdom (Aston Villa) - £3.6m Lucas Leiva (Fiorentina) - £10.25m Martin Skrtel (Southampton) - £5.25m Luis Alberto (West Ham) - £4.2m Joe Allen (Sunderland) - £12.75m Adam Lallana (Atletico Madrid) - P/Ex Jan Oblak Tiago Ilori (Leicester) - Loan Ousama Assaidi (Lyon) - £9.25m Iago Aspas (Hertha Berlin) - £8.5m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is his role in your team? I couldn't get Kuyt to tutor anyone coz he was only listed as Backup for me, so it may be related to that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy21 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Just finished my first season. Tried a 4-1-2-1-2 tactic to begin with before switching to a 4-1-2-2-1 formation which my team reaped the benefits from. Won the Champions League, runners up in the FA Cup, finished 3rd in the Premiership. Not to sure when i went out in the League Cup. Star players were Romero (Rock in DM as a half back), Sturridge(struggled playing with Balo but once upfront by himself he was a machine with 35 goals), Sterling(Insanely good as either a shadow striker or inside forward) and Coutinho(couldnt get in the team for a long time until i switched formation then he ripped it as a AML IF finished with 23 goals). http://imageshack.com/a/img661/333/NAmLIB.jpg First Season Ins and Outs http://imageshack.com/a/img537/3144/twoZfh.jpg Team start of Second Season, still to improve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
