Jackreyes Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 That's my 3rd season done. Won La Liga by a bit more than just the point this time, ecstatic with that, but I don't think Barca are exactly 'down and out' yet. Or Real.. Happy with the Euro Cup win. Bit disappointed with the Spanish Cup loss, but I had the Euro Cup finals, followed by 2 potentially league deciding matches in the space of 6 days, so there was no way I could play my best squad. Barca offered Leandro to me for 15m, so I went with it.. not sure where he'll fit in though, Kadlec and Muniain are doing really well upfront.

Well done on winning the league dude, I think it will take me a bit longer than three seasons to do it. Won 3-0 we are through Well played. I needed defenders and I got them Phil Jones on loan, Muniesa for free, Alvaro Dominguez for £13.5 million and splashed out on Chiellini for £36 million. Need a DM now and someone who can play AML and AMR although that is not essential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llew_Arshavin23 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Llew_Arshavin23 - With a foreground sugar daddy 2nd season budget for Champions League Qualification was only £16.8 million but the wage budget was £1.6 million and I am currently spending 875k. So if I give myself a wage budget of £1.2 million I get £33 million transfer budget, this seems realistic to me with monthly payments that is a decent amount. Cheers. That's far more realistic, in my opinion. If it was something like 80+ million then I would be a little skeptical but, 33 million [after editing budgets] sounds far better Looking forward to this save now.

I have spent £48 million so far and sold £23.5 million and am currently deciding if I should get Luis Suarez for £22 million. Although spending £60 million is a lot with selling £23.5 million I think investing around £40 million is realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackreyes Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm actually glad I didn't edit to foreground actually. For my 4th season I've been given the option of only Champions League Qualifying as an expectation after consecutive league wins. Little to no pressure to succeed, and a decent budget. £29m with £1.5m wages, but I'm only current spending £770k on wages.. so.. adjusted I get £58m and £990k. That's more than I need.

Well, I'm arriving back in the Gatwick Airport next Thursday morning. Then I start a long journey back home, catching a train's and a taxi before finally arriving home. By then I presume it will be early evening so, that should give me ample time to download FM12 onto my Laptop, go to sleep and have a whole weekend dedicated to FM I have spent £48 million so far and sold £23.5 million and am currently deciding if I should get Luis Suarez for £22 million.

Just a update on how my team is doing we started off poorly and was sitting in 10th but things changed very quickly and all of a sudden we have been on a 10 game win streak, defeating the likes of At Madrid, Barcelona, Lyon and Fenerbahce.

benji!!!!! Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Llorente or Giuseppe Rossi? Had bids of circa 30m accepted for both but not sure who to go with. Tried for Tevez, but couldn't sort out a deal with him and his greedy agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Llorente was amazing for me but it's probably easier to get Rossi scoring than Llorente. They are two different types of players so it depends what you are looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you need to make long term targets, the only youngsters I am going to sign are going to be from spain but I may dip into Brazil, Argentina and Perhaps England if any pop up.
