malikoi Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hey guys, I love the look of the game this year, except one thing. The match engine is frikkin' horrible! Oh look, I've conceded another goal from a cross, oh look and another. The inconsistency of it is ridiculous. The interface is amazing this year, but I just can't get past the engine.

Pozzati Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 How did you sign Neymar? He's not at all interested in coming to play for me! Also got him... I paid £40m though. He said he wasn't interested all the time, but when I managed to get my bid accepted he was willing to listen to my offer. Praised him, praised Muricy Ramalho and expressed my interest numerous times. Got him in January. Cost me a lot in both transfer value and wages, but definitely worth it.

Carmi88 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Just started my save after it crashing after the 2nd game and I had to begin all over again! Formation 4-5-1 with wingers Transfers in - Luke Shaw - 8 million, Antoine Griezmann - 21 million and then the pre arranged transfer players Transfers out - Santos - loan, Chamakh - 5 million, Diaby - 6.5 million, Squillaci - 750k, Coquelin - loan First 2 games against Reading at home and Swansea away, Ox, Giroud and an own goal helped me win my opening game 3-0 and then we pulled off an excellent comeback to go from 2-0 down to 3-2 winners and Podolski came off the bench to net a hattrick! Only downside was Ramsey injured and Ox was sent off before our 3rd was scored Next 4 games are Liverpool, Chelsea, Fulham and Man Utd, so hopefully our good form will carry us through with at least 8 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean3h Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Liam Brady just found me someone that looks a real gem - it might be worth other people having a look. His name is Siebe Schrijvers, he's a young striker from Genk. He's come to me at 16, although already has finishing of 15, composure of 14 and accel of 16. His determination is only 9 on my game though so I will have to try to get that up to get the best out of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmi88 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Suffered a setback before deadline day with Arteta and Ramsey both being taken, arteta for 3 weeks and ramsey for 2 months, so I had to buy myself 2 midfielders who in the end were... Moriz Leitner from Dortmund for 13 million and Christian Ledesma for 8 million as I needed a holding mid, and got offered Defour for 3 million after these were done could of saved myself some cash!

Carmi88 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 results so far, having glanced at the table it is very different to what it used to be, alot of the big clubs are making their way up after shaky starts Premier League: Liverpool(A) 3-2 Win, Fulham(A) 3-1 Loss, Man Utd(H) 1-1, Sunderland(A) 3-0 Win, West Brom(H) 0-0, Stoke(A) 1-1 Capital One Cup: Cardiff(H) 2-0 Win, Burnley(A) 2-0 Win Champions League: Galatasaray(H) 2-1 Loss, Zenit(A) 4-1 Win, Gladbach(H) 2-0 Win Sat in 6th with 15 points in the league after 8 games, with a game in hand. Everton are top with 20 points, West Brom, Spurs, Stoke and West Ham are all currently above me Man Utd in 8th, City in 9th, Chelsea 13th and Liverpool 17th My player stats; Most Goals - Podolski 6 Most Assists - Cazorla and Wilshere with 4 MOTM - Vermaelen with 4 Pass completion - Ramsey 91% tackles per game - Ledesma 4.90 shots on target - Gervinho 86% average rating - Vermaelen 6.63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
css_matt Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Cazorla Got him playing AMC as an advanced playmaker in a 4-2-3-1. He doesnt run the show, thats for sure, its my widemen, Ox and Neymar who are doing that, but after 22 games Cazorla has still managed 7 goals and 4 assists. Played 22, scored 7, 4 assists 0.53 dribbes per game, Neymar averages over 6 1350 total pass attempts. Ramsey over 2,400 in same amount of appearances 16 key passes, second only to Neymar (19) Last stat is encouraging because he only has 4 assists. Suggests he has more impact in the buildup play than I thought.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
