Quavis Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Congrats to those that have been promoted since yesterday! You all are going to complete the challenge before I get season 1 done lol. Lots of new stadiums as well. I'm also slightly jealous looking at some of the players that are signing this year. Strikers with 14 pace and 10+ finishing/composure *drool*. Why cant any of them play for Bristol City or Swindon? :confused: Tip for those having trouble signing players you want: Keep an eye on them even if they aren't interesting in talking to you. Come February/March, they will change their tune and sign for much lower amounts (assuming they are still free agents). I typically sign most of my best players during this time before the next seasons transfer window opens. It doesn't help your current season unless you make the play-offs, but its a great way to improve the team for the next season. MikaelS: What happened?

sam97 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 FC United - Season 2 Blue Square Bet Premier 2013/14 The season started like a nightmare we had a 6 consecutive streak of loss's at the beginning and followed was extremely inconsistent scraping points and conceding goals like there was no tomorrow January came and we looked a bit better but only good enough to escape relegation and perhaps challenge for a mid table position we signed numerous players who put in some good performances but again not to a standard to challenge for the play-off spots, towards the end of the season we looked like a new team we were scoring goals for fun but it was too near the end and was not consistent enough we'd win 4-0 then follow with a 2-1 loss which isn't acceptable in my opinion ! Transfers - We signed some decent players and should help next season most of who were bought in january Fa Cup - We reached the second round and i was happy with that, we put up a fight but our defence was too weak Fa Trophy - Extremely pleased with the side here they were exceptional and put in some quality performances we were that good we reached the final and i was over the moon with what the team had achieved, to be honest i wasn't bothered if we lost we had smashed all expectations ! unfortunately we were beaten League - 16th Overall i thought the team did ok but next season we're gonna have to be a lot better ! Next season targets Push for promotion Sign some quality players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impale Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Is anyone else conceding goals from corners like they're going out of fashion? First season I probably conceded 7 or so. This season I concede on average 1 a game I reckon, easily. I've tried tweaking my corner settings, set match prep to defensive set pieces, etc; doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

MattSpurs94 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 #37 - Northwich Victoria - Blue Square Premier - Season 3 - 2014/15 Blue Square Premier - 15th FA Cup - 1st Round FA Trophy - 2nd Round A carbon copy of last season, apart from 1 extra point. Not much else really to say, other than next season could be my last. Oh dear. If it happens, the game ends. A run to the 1st round of the FA Cup saw us getted shredded by Nottingham Forest. FA Trophy was disappointing AGAIN. Transfers I had hoped the new players would be much better than the current crop. Er, no. They weren't. Key Players Not so much a key player, but this chap deserves a mention. Came through the academy, and managed to score 7 goals, including a hatrick. Awesome No real key players this season. Much like last season. Next Season For god's sake, a higher finish! Not to go into Administration.

BigVanVader Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Margate | Blue Square South | 2014/15 | 4th League table Playoff semi-final leg 1 Playoff semi-final leg 2 Playoff final Summary While it seems like a great season I was really disappointed with how the last 15 or so fixtures played out. We started the season well, looking like we could win it and, along with Farnborough, pulled away from the pack. This stayed the same until around February onwards when we only got one win in eleven and played awful. It was so frustrating seeing Farnborough start slipping up at the top and Eastleigh overtaking them, I couldn't help thinking that should be us at the top, but it wasn't to be. Thankfully our good form came on the last day of the season where we turned over the opposition and went into the playoffs on a high. That high thankfully saw us win the playoffs and march on into the BSP where an even harder test awaits the mighty Margate!!! Oh, and we did nothing in the cups, but we never do so I don't care about them yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinGreener Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Just started my second season.

Quavis Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Everything is happening. In 10 games I've scored 5 own goals, 3 from goalies. My players play like crap, I have shots but cannot score. I have so many short injuries that I'm usually stuck with 9-10 men for the last 20 minutes because I've used all subs. Who do you have in goal and does he have high eccentricity? I've had a couple of those, and they drove me crazy! I'm a bit worried about the keeper spot for this year. Unless I can change his mind and sign Elliot Parrish, I'm likely going to be stuck with Chris Snoddy still in goal. With 10 handling, 9 reflexes, and only 7 one on ones, it could be a long season. For some reason, the best available qualifying keeper keeps refusing to talk to me. He's some guy named David James and I'm unable to match the 15k/wk he has been on at Bristol City . I'm guessing the injury thing is probably based on fitness levels? With p/t contracts I can see it being much harder to keep fitness levels up, particularly in the fixture congestion around Christmas. i usually have a huge squad (30+), and its not an issue. This year, fielding even the first team is going to require keeping on some of the old guard I'd never otherwise play. Shooting and not scoring is something else I completely understand Definitely turn long shots for everyone to "rarely" unless you managed to grab someone with great long shots. Midfielders at this level are just never meant to try and score in FM lol. I also tend to use "work ball into box" shouts to minimize poor % shots (this wont stop them from missing sitters ). Hope something helps! Now that its finally the weekend, I should be able to get started and I can join you in the frustration lol! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

XaW Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Chesham United | Season 2015/16 | End of season | XaW #8 Table | Past Positions | Squad | Finances | Transfers A great season for us. We started good and just kept on playing better and better. Barnet and us ran away in the league early on, but it was a struggle to keep them at bay. Luckily they hit a slump in form around Christmas so I could get some points away from them. In the end, we won it with 3 matches remaining. I do not know why we suddenly kept on winning as we used the same tactics as we have the other seasons, but I'm not complaining. As the season progressed it was clear I had a great partnership up front in Ümit Eminoglu and Anders Rømer, and in the few cases where they were injured we had a good backup in Villyan Bijev. From the midfield we had loads of assists from Elliot Andrews and David Hutton while our very own youth player, David Hart, has more than delivered. Between the posts Marek Farkas has been rock solid with the help from defenders Radim Skacel, Gareth Hutchison, Kenzer Lee and Jamie Reckord. Other notable players have are Billy Waters and Rolf-Inge Nymark. In the cups we had some good runs. The FA Cup turned out to be a real money maker as we came to the 4th round were we had an away tie against Premiership outfit Ipswich. This netted us £140k for the TV right aswell as about £300k from the match. And even though we lost 2-1 we did a great job. In the FA Trophy we lucked out and got easy ties all the way to the final where we won 2-1 over AFC Telford. Financially we are looking better than ever and hopefully it will only increase. The board has decided to build some more seats in our stadium, but the overall capacity is still the same. This season we had over 1k attendance average and this should increase further in League Two. So bring on the Football League!

Quavis Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Kccircle: I think I saw someone with met police (800), but I don't see them on the list. Either way, 850 is already plenty hard enough Took me forever to even get Chippenham at 950, so you must have either gotten very lucky, or reloaded a ton! MikaelS: lol! It's that thing that pops up before your first match and says asks you what you want to do. In my case, its also that thing my Assistant pesters me with non-stop because I only have one tactic and that doesn't make him happy! Getting my guys to work with 1 tactic is hard enough thanks *boots Assistant*. In all seriousness, match prep does seem to make a difference (its located bottom left of tactics screen). I leave it on teamwork until around Christmas to try and get the squad to gel together (very important when you are changing 90% of the team yearly), and then switch to defensive set pieces for the second half of the season so I don't end up giving away 20582085208520820 goals from corners.

Dons Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 #6 Hitchin Season 5 Update 2016/17 Squad - Graph - Table - Profile - Finances - Transfers Awards Manager of the year Before going over the season in details, let me first say, this has been one of my best seasons ever in FM, as well as one of the most interesting and "breath-taking". Finished the season as champions, after a constant race with Fleetwood. On the graph, I linked both Fleetwood and Hitchin. Season itself really was a breeze, team was confident throughout whole season, and we were lucky with our injuries. The injuries that came, did have the FM2010 model of 4-5 weeks, but they came at times i could "afford" not to play in best formation. Only signed 3 new players, whereas only 1 of them was a regular. Best game of the season was a 7-0 away win at Forest Green. Changed back to 4-4-2 and only 5-3-2 in a few away matches. Have prematch set to attacking set pieces for almost 2 seasons now, has started to pay of! Chairman finally managed to sell the club, and the new chairman seems to have some ambitions. He decided to put up a new stadium, which will stand ready in 2019 and can hold 5352 capacity. Previous could hold 4300. To me, it does seem like a waste of money, as we currently only have an av attendance of 1350. As a little comfort in loaning the money for new stadium, he injected our finances with 450k. For the first time in 5 seasons, we are in the black! Cup run was a disaster and a triumph. FA Cup: a quick exit in the 1st round to Oxford, who finished 6th in L2 FAT: Well deserved (and a little lucky) we won the trophy after a hard fought match vs Cambridge. Cambridge has been our nemesis in BSP and the final was our first win against them. Noteworthy players of the season: GK: - Abubakar Egal: New signing, previously West Ham. Not a replacement keeper yet, but scouts believe he is L1 potential and better than Karius, slowly playing him into the team due to his young age. DEF: - Carl Flynn: Another amazing season from this young lad. Clearly the backbone of our defense. - Guiseppe Simonetto: As well a really solid defender, played both central and left defense in this season. - Paul Downing: Not his best season, he did have a few injuries and not too consistant in performance. MID: - Martin Fischer: This seasons most reliable midfielder, really hope i can keep him for years. - Toby James: Also this season played really well. But think this is as good as he gets, may have to find a replacement for left midfield next season. - Alex Billington: Last season most assists. Played a solid mix of defense and midfield this season. Attack was a challenge this season, 3 really good players and 1 good sub. Solution was.. Mark Hayes: Last seasons topscorer, but due to no right midfielder he played winger most of season. And he did it really well! 14 goals and 18 assists. Tom Lawrence: Played his way back into the team this year. Jimmie Andersson: New signingm previously Malmö FF and current U21. Was amazing in offense, and key to our promotion. 31 goals. 12 assists. Really looking forward to see what our young squad can perform in L2. Staff: 12 coaches and 3 scouts! Asking board to increase staff often, i am sure is helping more than "swapping" players constantly! Season League FA Cup Other Cups Europe Final Pos.
