dafuge Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Daf I think it would be fascinating to see a summary of the various players you've had through your youth system (that have made it) from the point they were created to the high point of their respective careers.Any information about facilities, finances etc would also be really good. My youth system has been pretty poor, with the exception of a few players (Bickerstaff, Lennon, McComb). Any screenshots I have of them will have already been posted in the thread as I haven't really tracked the progress of their careers that closely. If there are any specific screenshots you would like to see regarding facilities etc. just let me know and I'll put them up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Bourneview Young Men - Carling Premiership - 2069/70 We haven't won the Champions League for two years, so it was important we improved. League Table It was great to see Tobermore back in 2nd. Domestic Cups - just the one loss, in the cup final. UEFA Champions League - almost a clean sweep as we beat Bayern to take the title. Glentoran in Europe - a great group stage, but Bayern were too much for them. Linfield in Europe - nothing inspiring. Tobermore in Europe - not bad. Newry in Europe - a decent group stage, but that was it. Squad - there's a few gaps, but the squad is stronger than it has been for some time. Transfers - a lot of action as we picked up a few bargains. Premiership Transfers - Glentoran the big spenders. Key Player Profiles: Marcus Bickerstaff - another big injury makes the end look a lot closer for the legend. Sandrinho - top scorer again. Izudin Mehmedovic - superb as a supporting striker. Pat Daws - possibly the replacement for Bickerstaff. Raniero Onofri - not rated that highly, but he's been superb.

Mine are all NI without exception and I cannot get the board to allow me to scout outside of the UK! I'm doing the same thing as well im 9 seasons in as the manager of Police Service of Northern Ireland won everything but for the first 2 seasons it is tough to sign foreign players but a tip for you would to be to try and look for some scandinavians at first in particular Denmark as they tend to have a couple of decent regens coming through every season also if you need someone for January check Ireland (not really too foreign) as they announce their new youth intake at that time and some of them can be quite decent. I did this and pretty much had a cakewalk to the summit of the Northern Irish League of course I wanna do something similar to Dafuge however with the domination for a couple of seasons it can be a little dull however I think it would be worth it to get to Dafuges current level BTW Daf how much on average do you pay for taxes a month?

dafuge Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 England is not that far anymore. In 3 years it's possible to be on top of Europe. It certainly looks like we could catch them, but I have a feeling that we will decline over the next few years as the clubs adjust to life without their tycoon owners. I don't think we will ever be able to score 20+ as England have done. Prize/TV money is the problem. Winning the Premiership brings in around £624k, which is peanuts compared to other countries.

The prize money rocketed up to about £5m, which was quite helpful for a small club I can't remember what the prize money is now, but it's nothing like that.

I tracked the reputation increase of my club for a few seasons because of how long it was taking. Once your club gets more reputation than a given competition you get no more increases from winning that competition, so when you get a high enough reputation you're only really gaining more from winning the Champions League (the only five star club competition) with diminishing returns the greater your reputation is. 3849->4261(league)->4261(leaguecup)->4261(welshcup)->5695(champleague) ->6021(SuperCup)->6265(CWC)->6265(league)->6265(leaguecup)->6265(welshcup)->7198(champleague) ->7198(SuperCup)->7198(CWC)->7198(league)->7198(leaguecup)->7198(Welshcup)->7898(CHLeague) ->7898(SuperCup)->7898(CWC)->7898(league)->7898(leaguecup)->7898(welshcup)->8423(CHLeague) ->8423(supercup)->8423(CWC)->8423(league)->8423(leaguecup)->8423(welshcup)->8817(CHLeague) ->9112(CHLeague) ->9334(CHLeague) ->9500(CHLeague) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Bourneview Young Men - Carling Premiership - 2070/71 We won the Champions League for the first time in a while last season, but it didn't look as good for the other teams in Northern Ireland. League Table Newry profited from a Champions league spot as Linfied had a shocker. Domestic Cups - things were going well until a shock in the Setanta Cup final. UEFA Super Cup - it was a close game but we lost out on penalties. FIFA Club World Cup - a last minute winner settled a poor match. UEFA Champions League - we had a couple of scares in the knockout rounds but made our way to a second consecutive win thanks to a one sided final. Glentoran in Europe - they did well to get out of the group but could finish the job in the Bernabéu. Linfield in Europe - pretty awful in the Champions League but the Europa League run looked good, until they went to Germany. Tobermore in Europe - they were really unlucky not to qualify from a tough group, but made a decent run in the Europa League until they made a mess of reaching the final. Newry in Europe - a great run, but another club beaten by Manchester United (who lost to Barcelona in the final). Squad - injuries to strikers left us a bit short in possibly our weakest position and we may need a new goalie. Transfers - a decent profit was made, with an extra striker coming in for cover. Premiership Transfers - Glentoran spend a bit, but the transfers have ceased up at Tobermore. Key Player Profiles: Marcus Bickerstaff - another big injury and a wish to go into management, the end could be near. Pat Daws - he was our top scorer, but nothing like Bickerstaff in his prime. Sandrinho - supposedly the weakest striker, but a great scoring record. Samuel Fernández - a provider of many assists from the left wing. Douglas - great stuff from the other winger.

Unfortunately I think we have probably peaked as a country and will never reach that top spot. The only thing that could change it is if some new tycoons come in. No idea about FM13 yet, although I am thinking about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Bourneview Young Men - Carling Premiership - 2071/72 We were back in the habit of winning, but unfortunately the rest of the country wasn't. At the moment we are suffering a bit of a decline as the money runs out in Northern Ireland. League Table Our second successive unbeaten season, which seemed highly unlikely a few years ago. Linfield once again missed the cut and Tobermore nearly lost out on a Champions league spot. Domestic Cups - a clean sweep with wins in every game. UEFA Super Cup - we were lucky to get away with a win here. FIFA Club World Cup - an unusual opponent for the final, but the usual result. UEFA Champions League - we were quite shaky in the knockout stages, but saved our best for the final. Glentoran in Europe - they had a tough draw in the Champions League, but then went on an historic run in the Europa League, winning the competition. Linfield in Europe - shocking. Tobermore in Europe - had a decent group stage, but were no match for Barcelona. Newry in Europe - a complete waste of time. Squad - the squad is insanely good at the moment. Transfers - it was a busy transfer window as we looked to improve our squad. Premiership Transfers - it is started to look like it did a few years ago, we are the only team involved. Key Player Profiles: Marcus Bickerstaff - was used sparingly but still managed more than a goal a game. Pat Daws - top scorer, and a great striker. Vitaly Melnikov - signed to replace Sandrinho, could well be our top scorer next season. Abdallah Nahimana - he played the easier games, but still made a huge impact. Laurent David - a superb season from the youngster.

Linfield, Tobermore and Newry all have 'insecure' finances, which isn't a good sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 2072 O_OHow do you find the motivation (and time) to keep with the same save? I prefer the long term stuff to the short term stuff, so I always take ages to get into a save game but then stick with it. This will be the third year running I have played just one save game from release day to the next one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the third year running I have played just one save game from release day to the next one. I've only done one save file this time as well - although more from lack of finding a good challenge/set-up than anything else - and that one only lasted until 2038 and involved multiple clubs, couldn't imagine going much further than that especially with the same side.

dafuge Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 I think it just depends how much detail you like to go into. I only ever play one tactic and I watch the matches on commentary only, so it means I can really zoom through the seasons. I also try and keep my updates concise so I can get on with playing.

Azeryk` Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I do commentary only as well - so much more quicker, more like the old CM days. I only started tinkering with tactics in FM12, I usually stick with 4-4-2 but this time as I jumped around leagues and continents I had to adapt every so often to keep near the top of the leagues which made this game a bit more different for me. I guess your at the stage where your scratching your head over what to do in FM13 now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes It just highlights the problem we have, a lack of depth in the league. You really need about 6/7 great teams to challenge the top of the coefficients.

noikeee Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Latvia in 15th in the UEFA coefficients is pretty interesting, beyond the obvious outlier of a certain peculiar nation in 4th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi_Mes Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Spent the whole day reading through this thread, my gf is utterly pissed at me for ignoring her all day.
