MichaelBrown Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Just wondering what you guys have done with Darren Ramsey? He starts in the U18's IIRC, but he's turned into my first choice winger. Depending on the progress of Ashley Harris I might move him to DLF (s). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdanbartlett Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 He hasn't turned out amazing on mine so is currently on loan at Falkirk, he has 10 for dribbling & crossing etc. (currently Oct 2015). My current XI is: Craig Gordon Lee Wallace Marc McAusland Ross Perry Darren Cole Gary Fisher Darren McGregor James Ness Paul Gallagher Kris Commons Barrie McKay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelBrown Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm currently 1st in the first division and my XI is: Sam Johnstone (21yo, free transfer ) Andrew Black (19yo, free transfer) Luca Gasparotto (19yo, Rangers) Stuart Urquhart (19yo, Rangers) Stephen Hendrie (20yo, 200k) David Templeton (26yo, Rangers) Martin Malin (16yo, Rangers) *regen* Lewis Macleod (20yo, Rangers) Lee Wallace (27yo, Rangers) Darren Ramsey (19yo, Rangers) Barrie McKay (20yo, Rangers) As you can see, it's a pretty youthful and homegrown team. I rotate a lot, however, so other players who are worth mentioning are: Adam Webster (20yo, free transfer) Kenny Mclean (23yo, 825k) He unfortunately got a 11 month injury which has allowed the 16yo to enter the team. Fantastic player though. Mamady Sidibe (34yo, free transfer) I've had him since the third division. He's now a backup player for Darren Ramsey and Ashley Harris, still chipped in with 8 goals this season though. Ashley Harris (21yo, free transfer) Will Hoskins (28yo, 20k) purely backup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryknow Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hey RyknowBig thanks for taking the time to reply to my questions, most appreciated. You're right about the money, its £7m for group stage, £700-900k for a win in Fm13, I just wonder what the TV money will be like on FM13 for Rangers, as I believe it's based on the country ranking- SPL is 31st at present. Season tickets are certainly the source of funds at present! My wage spend is now £90k as I 'treated' myself to some new signings to bulk the squad out. It was hard as ONLY Scottish players, Kriss Commons on loan, signed Paul Gallagher for £80k though. Some are saying it's impossible to win the CL with an all Scottish team, will take alot of time but I think it could happen eventually.....will be fun. I'm 2nd now after 5-7 games, Celtic showed me the size of the gap though when they beat me 4-1 at their place, still this is my 1st SPL season. Only Scottish is a massive commitment. I've found some great Northern Irish newgens so maybe they could pass? I'm surprised at the quality of Scottish newgens in this FM, so I suggest snapping them all up asap on creation date. At least you are basically guaranteed 1-3 good players through your own intake. I'll be taking a more subdued approach with my HG rules. With a view to maintaining the academy HG players at the club and buying young to develop. So I have a preference and large amount of Scottish players already atm, but not 100% like you. I also find it easier to offload the foreigners to make profit, as its difficult to come by quality real Scottish players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frasersophie Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Just thought I'd let you know how I'm doing! I really wanted to do the whole Scottish challenge thing except for the rule that I could keep the foreign players that were already at the club. So after getting to the SPL with just that, winning the challenge cups and a league cup along the way I really started to struggle and kick on from there! There were no real top talent coming through Murray Park or any that were going to progress my team, and Celtic were starting to annoy me constantly winning the league. It all changed when I found a regen that had scottish parents but was playing in Poland for Legia. He was a ST and had 18 for finishing along with 19pace and something similar acceleration. My scouts had missed him despite having 2 scouts in this area. I happened to stumble across him as he scored a hattrick against newcastle in the euro cup. Got him that Summer and my team has gone Crazy since then, 3 League titles back to back including 2 trebles and a champions league quarter final appearance. Ibrox has been upgraded to a 64000 all seater. I have a transfer budget of 24m and wage budget of 350,000. Now getting overs of 40m+ for him from Chelsea and Athletico Madrid but he is happy and not considering moving. I am loving it! Best part is that I am currently on a 82game unbeaten run! This is definitely the best FM save I have had! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely the best FM save I have had! Brilliant news!! How did you find the wonderkid? I agree this is going to be VERY hard using only Scottish players, but I find most challenges get too easy. My mate is doing this challenge with Stirling, now THAT is hard! 1st season back in the SPL and it's v close between Celtic and me, with 6 games to go. I got given £4.4m to spend in jan but there just wasn't anyone around, managed to get 1 decent MC signed up for just 50k (worth £1m+) as he fell out with his club West Brom, and a lad from Bolton (ST, 19 years old) lined up on a free (worth £1-2m also) for the summer, £10k a week though. Wages have crept up to £130k a week now, that will be the main spend on this save as I have to capture the decent Scottish players no matter what. Charlie Adam is my big summer target as he is unsettled at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All others were half star or less! Terrible as youth will be key to this save! There's a bug with the star ratings for youth intake players in the latest update, you wont see their true star rating until you sign them, best to judge them by attributes for now till they hopefully fix it in the next patch.

Ryknow Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Slipknot is on the money, should be fixed next patch. They are well aware of it. A rough guide is times the stars by two.

Champfan10 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just started my Rangers save, thought I'd have to attempt a save while there still in division 3. I've bought in Lee Bowyer, Herita Ilunga, Daniel Devine & Kalifa Cisse on free transfers & sold Naismith to Dunfermline for 8k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdanbartlett Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ok update from me & my Scottish only players Rangers save. Transfers: Signed 3 decent players on free's plus Charlie Adam on loan. Collier (winger/striker) might be a regen but he is pretty decent, Fraser is another winger and seems decent, Allan was the other, he isn't as good as I'd hoped yet. REALLY hard to find players now who will improve the team, Celtic have some good Scottish talents but they are never interested in signing (realistic I guess), they also signed Andy Carroll, their squad is v strong! Finances: £21m in the bank, helped by getting to the CL group stage. Wage spent £160k and spent £1.2m on players in the summer (as I said its hard to actually find any decent Scottish players now). SPL: 1st year back I came a close 2nd to Celtic, mainly because I had to play them THREE times away and once at home. 2nd season I'm mid October and 1 point behind Celtic, because they just beat me at their place (again I'm playing them more away than at home!). Drawn 1 game and won all others. Champions League: 1st season in the CL for me at Rangers, beat Kiev and then Sporting to qualify, was 4th seed so got a hard group of Dortmund, SLB and Athletico Madrid. Somehow managed to beat Athletico 5-1 at home! Then snatched a 2-1 win away to Dortmund, amazing results as I'd aimed for 6 points from ALL the group games to be honest. Misc: Scottish league is up to 17th in the world now, Celtic are very strong and will be a big challenge to overhaul, all about consistency I think, i.e must win all games as probably will lose when playing Celtic away. Scotland NT job, will it came up and I applied but they gave it to Dougie Freedman, shame, will go for it again the next time it comes up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jangleberry Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Season 7 still going well for me. Almost got a draw with Liverpool in the home group game of Champions League. Was literally 30 seconds away from holding on, but alas it wasnt to be and the winner for them came. I think 4 points from my last two games (Genk away and Dynamo Kyiv at home) will be enough to get through and into the real money! Got about £20m in the bank, spending £180k on wages currently. Currently 5 points clear of Celtic at the top just coming up to Xmas time. Could it possibly be my year?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofscotland Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm in my 1st season in the SPL and had a 54 game unbeaten run in all competitions ended by the Jambos - currently in October and Celtic are 5 pts ahead. In Europe ( won the scottish cup last season) I qualified for europa throught the 2 qualifiers and got Athletico, Bordeaux and some random diddy team. 1st game was away to diddy team and got beat (ouch) 2nd game home to Athletico who took a 2-0 lead into half time with a Falcao double and thought I was in for a pounding, changed things around and got back to 2-2 in 81 mins, only to concede a 3rd in 83 mins. Fear not cos I equalised in 85 and went gung ho and scored a 4th in 89 and a 5th in 90+3 - couldn't believe - my greatest victory of this save so far. 3rd Game - Bordeaux away - Went for a more defensive 4-1-4-1 instead of my usual 4-3-3 as was looking for a draw - and snatched a 1-0 victory so with 1 round of games over I'm top on 6pts. Bring on the diddys at home :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurghBear Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 First season back in SPL and I'm 7 points clear of Celtic having just beaten then 2 - 1 at Ibrox. My team is full of youngsters and other than Steve Sidwell who I signed at the start of the season purely to tutor my young players the oldest players I have are Faure and Abdi Ibrahim from Man City. Apart from winning each of the divisions on the way up I haven't won any silverware, couple of cup finals but got beat on penalties and a few semi finals. Thought I would win at least the Challenge cup but not to be. Had hoped to win the Scottish Cup to get european football this season but got put out at the semi's in one of those games that you totally dominate but they score their one and only chance. Was concerned with how hard the SPL would be from the other posts on here but so far I've been beating teams quite easily. Built my team of high potential youngsters from division 3 and played them non stop, now it's paying dividends. For my tactics I have copied a Dortmund tactic they used against me in a friendly, and though not the most defensively sound available I'm creating bags of clear cut chances and scoring plenty of goals. Playing a lone complete striker on support, a AML on attack, AMC on attack, RW on attack, CM on DLP support, CM on BWM defend and a normal back four. I have no idea how to upload stuff or if anyone would want to see any of the youngsters or tactics but let me know and I shall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryknow Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Unless you're hung up on keeping records, I would play as many promising youngsters as you can. Especially with the league won, a draw here or there isn't so bad. I decided to give FM another go, but after getting over the ME issues, it just is too easy and boring. Was really enjoying the challenge in the SPL on 13.1.2, but now I can just turn up and win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Just get promoted and win SPL at first attempt.

You do lose a lot of money though, but make it up in pre-season again before losing it again. I just tried to buy experienced players in the first season to make sure I went up. A lot of the youngsters at the club at the moment imo, aren't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Focus on youth and avoid paying more than £5k pw on an experienced player. Tbh, you really don't need them as Div1-3 is really poor. The current experienced players will do until you bring in pre-contracted players after the ban. The best 1-2 players of your youth intake each year, can get around 10 games straight away, so they develop faster for the SPL. I had a 15yr old outshining the senior players. The aim will be winning 85-90% of your games when back in the SPL, which by my experience should be fine on the current patch. Avoid Gael Kakuta (bosman) on this patch, as his "Shoots from Distance" and "Runs with ball" make him useless. Even when working on his instructions he still made 8-10 long shots even when a better option was present. Since dropping him, I play far better. He should be fine whenever the update comes out.

Got Bayern in the 1st knockout, doubt I can win that. Have some good young players, annoyingly I only spent £1.2m in the summer and hit my wage/budget limit, I thought as I had £20m+ in the bank I might get a new budget at Xmas, NOPE!

It will cost me too much to bring a player in and would be on bigger wages atm. Gasparotto and Faure are very good together. If I get a bargain newgen like I've been doing then I will move him on. Only valued at £750k. I currently have Balotelli on trial, just for sh*ts and giggles. I would never sign him in real life but wanted to see how he played in pre season. My newgen striker is rated more than him. My midfield 3 (2 CMs, one DM) now consists only of newgens, besides Jermaine Jones who will get a run out as he's player/coach. Still hate this ME.

fuzzrab Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Season 8 (2019/2020) – SPL League: Position 1st Pl: 38 w: 29 drawn: 5 l: 4 – pts 92 (ended up 19 points ahead of Celtic) Pretty easy season league wise. I was also able to give my young back ups quite a few games due to Celtic being very poor at the start of the season. Cups League cup – Lost in the final on penalties to Celtic Scottish cup – Lost in the 5th round 0-1 to Raith Europe: Champions league – Came 3rd in the group stage in a group consisting of Ac Milan, Man City and Hannover. I beat AC 4-2 at home and Hannover home and away. Unfortunately I finished 1 point behind AC to go into the Europa league Euro cup – I beat Cluj 5-1 on Agg 1st knockout round. In the 2nd knockout round I was beaten 4-2 on agg. Transfers in Danny Wilson – free Also a few newgens who go straight into the 1st team Most notably an 18yo central defender for 3.3mill who looks outstanding and goes straight into 1st team. Players out lots & lots of young lads on loans and released Players of note Barrie McKay: Pl: 39 gls: 25 asst: 6 avg rat: 7.48 Ronald Jimenez (newgens): Pl: 37 gls: 4 asst: 0 avg rat: 7.34 John Fleck: Pl: 30 gls: 8 asst: 15 avg rat: 7.50 Will Hughes: Pl: 39 gls: 14 asst: 20 avg rat: 7.57 Chucks Aneke: Pl: 34 gls: 5 asst: 7 avg rat: 7.70 Next season goals Hopefully I can get to the knockout stages of the Champions league and also retain the SPL trophy.

gershero17 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Just finished first season Won Div 3, Challenge Cup and League Cup. Got beat by them 1-0 in Scottish Cup Final. How much money does the club lose in first few seasons? My income for season say 25,245,482 and Expenditure was 25,528,922 not much of difference but i am positive i started season with around 6 million mark. so where has this 6 million gone? surely with the income and expenditure being almost identical it should work out that there should be just under the original starting balance left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory the club was losing a couple of mil a season overall, the expenses seem ridiculous, I mean I was spending £17,000 PER DAY on ground maintenance, that seems unrealisitc to me, non-football costs are massive etc too, basically I lose £2m a month on average, I'm upto the 3rd SPL season now (2018) and have £20m in the bank but thats because I've been in the CL group stage once and the Europa league once. Season ticket sales are you're savoir. I've spent v little on transfers as I'm doing this save with only Scottish players. Anyway the finances on Fm13 are nuts IMO, probably fairly realistic in terms of overall per season stuff but way out IMO on the breakdown. Update from me = 3rd SPL season (2018) and Lennon has resigned from Celtic, they have FINALLY had a bad season after utterly daddying it previously (99 points etc), lost 4 games which is unheard of so they are 2nd behind me by 10 points end of Feb, this will finally be my year to win back the SPL. Got knocked out the CL in the play off as I had to play Man City! 4-4 at home, 4-1 lost away. Remember I'm use ONLY Scottish players so my team isn't amazing. Got a couple of ok youth prospects making their way into the starting XI now but its SO hard to find anyone Scottish to sign to improve my team, hoping to sign an aging Darren Fletcher in the summer and get Charlie Adam back.
