m1234566778 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well done on the ground, although I bet you wish you'd have waited until you had become such a favourite that the stadium was named after you. 16 games in and I'm 7 points clear with a game in hand.

fcunitedfan Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 It's more to do with money that I wish I'd waited. £20k a month to pay off £2.9mill is a lot at this level. You're doing brilliantly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcunitedfan Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 That's a bit handy. The board just threw £60k into the clubs finances, and allowed me to up my amount of coaches to 6. Oh, and they're going to offer me a new contract soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His experience and versatility would be great. It all depends on the quality of your midfield and attackers I suppose. But yeah, if his wages are reasonable go for it.

fcunitedfan Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I signed striker Tommy Amos a few games ago, and I've got Scott Spencer as well for up front. Nemeth is pretty much gone though, as his contract runs out soon. Wilbraham wants 650 a week, which I can afford but which I could also bring in a couple of good young players for.

m1234566778 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Maybe the younger players would be a better option then. Into December now and 10 points clear at the top, also into the 2nd round of the FA cup where I face Huddersfield away. My strike force have been excellent. Baz and Adam have formed a Greg partnership. Brought in Greig Spence as my backup striker, and released Mike Norton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcunitedfan Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 End of the season, so here's how it went. League Table: http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/wheatorules/FC%20United%20FM12/2012-02-08_00004.jpg Finished the season 5 points in front, and AFC Telford got the second promotion spot after beating Colwyn Bay in the playoff finals. Shame really, as I'd liked to have seen Colwyn Bay get promoted with us. Manager of the season went to me: http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/wheatorules/FC%20United%20FM12/2012-02-08_00003.jpg What can I say, apart from I'm awesome lol. Player of the season: http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/wheatorules/FC%20United%20FM12/2012-02-08_00002.jpg Danny Uchechi got this award, and rightly so. He was brilliant all season, becoming our top scorer, getting the most assists, and being man of the match most often. Star Players Danny Uchechi: Obvious choice really. He was the best player in the BSN this season. Mark McAuley: Defended great all season, and was a threat to the opposition goal every time we had a corner. He's developing really well as well. Scott Spencer: Second highest scoring player for us this season. He didn't like anything I said in team talks, but played well none the less. Curtley Williams: Ignore the low attributes. This young player was a great defender for us. Szilard Nemeth: Played him mostly in a Right Attacking Midfield role, and he did great from that position. Ross McKinnon: Joined half way through the season, but settled right in and played well for the remainder of the season. Here's all the incoming and outgoing transfters for the club: http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/wheatorules/FC%20United%20FM12/2012-02-08_00008.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought Spence off the bench for his debut with 10 minutes to go and he completed the win with a wonderful goal. I went out of the FA Trophy in the first round. Not to worry though.

TacticalGenius Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 That's an interesting choice of team. What made you choose them? I wanted to try something new with LLM as I'd done it all in England with FCUM, so I downloaded a German league add on pack and this team stood out, being associated with Red Bull. The rest, as they say, is history. It's my longest ever (and most successful) manager game save ever, and I couldn't get into FM12 because starting again seems so daunting.

fcunitedfan Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Friendlies done, and here's how they went: http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/wheatorules/FC%20United%20FM12/2012-02-10_00002.jpg Not too bad against teams around and just below our level. The games against bigger teams, I didn't expect to win so I wasn't worried about those losses. Here's our finances: http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/wheatorules/FC%20United%20FM12/2012-02-10_00003.jpg Nearly at £1mill, but have that big debt to pay off for the new stadium. Anyone know if, when I'm making more money, I can pay that debt off in larger sums or outright? Here's our transfers, in and out: http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/wheatorules/FC%20United%20FM12/2012-02-10_00002.jpg Some great players signed for us for free. Mathias Redsted is an ex-Brondby and Colwyn Bay right back (with a cool hairstyle). Although his natural fitness is low, he's yet to be off at all with any kind of injury. Anton Peterlin is an ex-Everton, Plymouth, and Walsall Defensive Midfielder. Stuart O'Keefe is an ex-Ipswich midfielder, who can play all around the midfield area. Craig Duguid is an ex-Aberdeen left back. Scott Garner is an ex-Leicester central defender. Lee Croft is an ex-Man City Norwich, and Derby right sided midfielder with loads of experience. Paul Benson is an ex-Southend and Charlton striker, who I signed as a player/coach for backup and for his great attacking coaching. Ignore Mitchell Hanson. I got him in on a non-contract, and he turned out to be a bit rubbish so I got rid of him. Managed to get Cammell Laird as a feeder club, but still no luck getting a parent club. I'm not paying the feeder club anything, so that's good. My coaching ratings are looking pretty good, but I think I can get them even better. Here's how they look now: http://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af113/wheatorules/FC%20United%20FM12/2012-02-10_00011.jpg Season preview The board thinks we'll be in a relegation battle, but I think I can get the team into the top half of the table (preferably in a playoff spot). Hoping the board will agree to the club turning profession by the end of the season, if I keep pressuring them to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty Shrimper Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Tempted to start a save with FC United, but don't quote me on that, because I've said that about so many teams already on this year's FM. However, the only team I've really been able to get into in recent years were Man United (the Manchester connection) and Thurrock FC (the BSN/BSS connection) so hopefully this should be the perfect save for me! Just holidaying now, taking an age though. By the way, I thought I should mention that the link to the kits doesn't work any more. fcunitedfan, could I ask you to upload the kits to the website again or maybe use a different site? Congratulations on your success as well by the way (and you too m1234566778), really enjoyed reading through the thread. I hope I can contribute too and we can really get this thread buzzing!
