Llew_Arshavin23 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I hate it when my centre-back's score about 15 goals a season from corners. I hate it really whenever we score from set-pieces I much rather free-flowing, open play goals. EDIT: Cbrunton01, that is a terrific win. To go to the Camp Nou and return to La Rosaleda with 3 points is a job well done. 54% possession too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyp Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Best performance of the season so far, a 5-0 away win against Betis. Rondon got ANOTHER brace, taking him to 15 league goals already. 11 games in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also want a young targetman as an understudy to Llorente, any ideas? Depends in the cash you have (but Im assuming that you've set foreground suggar daddy), but what about Alvaro Dominguez, Mateo Musacchio or Nicholas Otamendi? As for a targetman, isnt Rondon good enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
23drd23 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 So I've finished the second season and I havent won anything (unlike some of you guys). I came third in the league with 83 points. My defense is decent but I can't score enough. Hopefully having Tevez for a whole season will help that. I somehow made the CL semis which means that I made quite a bit of cash from it. Had AC Milan, Sporting Lisbon and Besiktas in the group stage and managed to finish 1st on 11 points (2 draws with Milan, 2 wins over Besiktas, split against Lisbon) with Besiktas on 10 points. Here's how the knock-out stage went: I fluked a 1-0 away win against Arsenal and then held on for a 1-1 draw to beat them in the Qtr finals . I lost in the Qtr Finals of the Copa Del Rey to Atletico Madrid (who are proving to be a bit of a bogey side). RVN is retiring, but I'll be keeping him on as a Ball Control coach as he looks immense. Arne Friedrich (who was my 3rd CB) is also retiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dethrone Barca and Real They do have a 'sugardaddy' but, in many people's opinion, including mine, the 'Background Sugardaddy' which they have at the start of the game doesn't reflect real-life well. Therefore, many people ave edited it from a 'Background Sugardaddy' to a 'Foreground Sugardaddy', similar to Manchester City or PSG's owners, to make the game more enjoyable and realistic If you don't know how to use FMRTE, there is a thread about it in the 'Editors Hideaway' or, alternatively, you could wait until next week when I will upload a edit pack with the new 'Sugardaddy' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

23drd23 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 What formations you guys use I can't believe my team are so useless this season I mainly used a 4-2-3-1 in Season 1.

heathxxx Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Granada CF was actually going to be my Spanish save until I read about Malaga having a sugar daddy There have actually been strong rumours around Granada, that should the club avoid relegation season in Liga BBVA, there's some Arab prince or other interested in buying the club. There's also a new 40k seater stadium planned if the club stays up. So for FM13, Granada might just be "the new Málaga" Unfortunately I don't see Málaga set as a local rival or the "Andalucia Oriental Derby" mentioned in the information screens for either Granada or Málaga, which I had requested during data research. Hopefully that will be amended in later patches. It's actually more of a friendly rivalry, though apparently fans used to throw ripe fruit at each other in the 60's and 70's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Well the first season is done and dusted and we finished second scoring an incredible amount but also conceding far too many for my liking, although this is a problem I have with FM no matter who I manage. Posted the player stats as well, Tevez is just brilliant and paired with Llorente they are brilliant to watch. I have never really made a slow target man succeed on FM since FM08 I think it was so to see my £30 million man score 30 and assist 26 was great he has much more to his game than scoring, holding the ball up and starting attacks is what he does best. The wingers also had great seasons and I was surprised to see Joaquin slightly out perform Carzola who seems a bit injury prone. I never expected Javi Martinez to play so well and score so many from central midfield but 17 goals is a very very good season by any central midfielder especially one that never played a single game at AMC. Kameni was superb in goal and he conceded 32 in 29 where as the clown that is Caballero let in 15 in just 9 games although to be fair to him he had to face Barcelona twice. Got to wait and see my transfer budget for next season but I need to expand the squad ready for Champions League football. I have a feeling I will have to challenge for the title to keep my job which will be hard as I am not sure I can get the team to play this well again. I need at least one central defender but will be looking for two along with someone who can play both winger positions, Luis Suarez is transfer listed for £23.5 million so I might go for him if I cannot sign Jesus Navas. On a side note I have landed the job of Spain U-23 manager so with the Olympics approaching I have to decide which three over age Spaniards I should take with my squad.

Good luck with Spain U-23 I won the olympics with Englad U-23's so good luck. Out looking for players now need two central defenders and someone who can play on both wings. 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. Spend your money wisely Acid. You could buy a bunch of youngsters and let them have some fun in the league and cup against lesser opponents? I can see myself making one marquee signing on monthly transfers then two defenders, if there is any good youth around I will go for them but on FM12 cheap young players seem to be at a minimum.
